Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Capacity

One of the most significant advantages of investing in the Jeep Grand Cherokee is that you have your pick of several excellent powertrains—all of which provide the powerful towing capacity you need.

The standard engine is a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 that produces 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. If you choose this engine and properly equip your vehicle, you’ll have a max towing capacity of 6,200 pounds.

If you’re looking for advanced efficiency without sacrificing strength, the 2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV engine is an excellent choice. This plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor to deliver impressive capability and fuel-saving performance.

The system produces up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of muscle for everyday driving and weekend adventures. It can tow up to 6,000 pounds. Plus, with its plug-in hybrid technology, you can drive short distances on electric power alone, helping you save on fuel and reduce emissions as you tow around your gear.^*

The Grand Cherokee also includes modern driver-assist systems that enhance safety while towing or driving solo. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection uses radar sensors to warn you of vehicles in your blind zones or crossing behind you, which is especially useful when changing lanes or backing a trailer. 

Grand Cherokee offers a full-speed forward collision warning with active brakes and pedestrian/cyclist detection for frontal crash mitigation. This system can alert the driver to a possible frontal impact and automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not respond — a particularly valuable capability when towing, since trailer weight increases stopping distances.
