If you’re already considering the Jeep Grand Cherokee for its spacious interior and timeless style, you might find yourself wondering, “What’s the towing power of the Jeep Grand Cherokee?” if you’re hoping to tow a trailer, boat, or other toys on your next vacation. You don’t have to worry about the 2021 Grand Cherokee: its available 7,200 pounds of towing power is the best in its class and is plenty to pull pretty much anything you might want. Read on to find out how to max out your Jeep’s towing power!
Available engines on the Jeep Grand Cherokee
The new Grand Cherokee features a standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that pulls up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. of torque. Those stats mean that even the basic engine on this SUV can tow up to 6,200 pounds, which is plenty for a boat, smaller camper trailer, and much more. And with Electronic Stop/Start Technology, you get the power without compromising on efficiency: when stopped in traffic, the engine shuts off to save fuel.
If you want upgrades, Jeep’s got upgrades. The Grand Cherokee has three available engine options to choose from for even more power:
- A 5.7L HEMI® V8 Engine providing up to 360 hp and 390 lb-ft. of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds.
- A 6.4L SRT® V8 paired with an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission with five dial-in drive modes, Quadra-Trac® Active On-Demand 4×4 System, and up to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft. of torque. Jeep Grand Cherokees with this engine can tow up to 7,200 pounds.
- A Supercharged 6.2L V8 Engine that not only goes from 0–60 in 3.5 seconds but can also tow 7,200 pounds using up to 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft. of torque.
Extra Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Features
For even more towing capability, especially if you’re planning to hit the trail in your Jeep, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® effortlessly blends comfort with confident Trail Rated® ability. With the Trailhawk®, you’ll get red tow hooks, high-strength steel skid plates, all-terrain Kevlar-reinforced tires, and Jeep’s Quadra-Drive® II 4×4 system, which can transfer up to 100% of engine torque to a single wheel in extreme terrain.
All of this, of course, comes with Jeep’s commitment to keeping the interiors of its SUVs supremely comfortable. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is chock-full of refinements, including an available panoramic sunroof, premium surround-sound speakers, high-quality upholstery, and soft-touch accouterments.
