Keeping Control of Your Trailer

No matter what you’re hauling with your Jeep, you’ll want to be sure that you’re in control at all times. Fortunately, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered with an advanced Trailer Sway Control (TSC) system that makes trailering significantly safer and easier.

When you’re towing a trailer in high winds or other tough conditions, Trailer Sway Control kicks into gear to help you stay in command of both your SUV and your trailer. The system alternately applies brake pressure to your vehicle’s wheels, and it will also raise or lower the throttle of your engine to stop your trailer from swaying while improving overall stability.

Other Jeep Safety Features

In addition to the outstanding Trailer Sway Control system, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers several other safety features that ensure peace of mind while you’re out on the road. The standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection system can help you safely change lanes by notifying you if there’s another automobile in your blind spot.

You can also equip your SUV with the optional Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking feature that detects a possible frontal collision and applies your brakes if you don’t respond to the alert the system provides. The collision and braking feature is especially useful while trailering since you’ll need extra time to stop both your vehicle and your trailer.
