Gross weight for the Wagoneer is 6200lbs. It's listed as 7200 for my 3/4 ton. Those 3/4 burbs are HEAVY, and that one he's got is packing some massive tires too. The weight difference is almost like parking a small car in the back of the Wagoneer.
That being said, I'm not saying it wont work, I'm just saying it won't get out of its own way. If you have absolutely no desire for acceleration or passing power, the 4BT will move the vehicle around just fine. Just don't expect to get anywhere fast.
