Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi would work. A newer Ford Explorer with the 3.5L ecoboost would be great too. In any case, get a model with the factory tow package.

Yes, I have a 17Z and switched from 13" to 14" rims/tires. No modifications were needed and the tires work fine, no problems. The height gain was negligible, I think less than an inch.
