Question for Jeep owner's that tow their boat

Alright so I'm looking for a cheaper 2nd car for towing. Jeep Grand Cherokee seems like it's one of the better fits for my budget. I have a 99 air nautique 2700 lbs dry w/ 1200 lb trailer. I'm thinking the V8 would be best.

Is there a certain tow package I should look for or model?

Or suspension I will need (would that be listed on the Jeep?)

What is the towing capacity of a late 90's Grand Cherokee v8? I've read 5000 lbs.

Pros and cons of towing w/ a Jeep? From limited reading on the forum looks like it is hard to stop / slow down.

Any other feedback would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
