Default GT project planning. Motor and Tire size question

So one of my dream projects for a few years has been an overland style challenger. I’m looking at ‘17+ models ranging from about 23k to 35k. My main concern is if it is feasible to put 32” tires with a 2” lift and if the 6 cylinder is plenty enough power for moderate off-roading/overlanding. Another consideration is if I’m able to tow a trailer with my Cherokee (2 door) on it. Is this a project even worth starting?

You might be able to lift one of the AWD challengers a bit, but, not sure about 32" tires.....

I think the stock six is close to 300 horsepower... so, should be ok.

I highly doubt the challenger has the tow rating for a jeep, and trailer..... especially with the six.......

Look what those idiot's on roadkill did to that one Challenger! Actually just about any car they get their hands on.

lol I figured I’d get some flak for even suggesting it, of course I’m also working on lowering my truck and making it into a dragster. Guess I got it *** backwards
