Overview of Towing Features

Here’s a look at some of the primary towing features you can expect with the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee:

Robust Engineering

The 2024 Grand Cherokee is a trailblazer that’s ready to take on any road. Its advanced towing technology means you can drive smoothly even when you’re pulling something heavy. With this midsize SUV, embarking on your next grand adventure becomes effortless. The Grand Cherokee boasts a robust steel frame and a durable body, making it ideal for pulling heavy loads. You can drive steady and in control, no matter how much gear you’re hauling.

Towing Technology

The 2024 Grand Cherokee comes with innovative features such as trailer sway control, hill-start assist, and a special air suspension that’s exclusive to its class. These features optimize your hauling experience and provide a sense of security every time you drive.

Engine Options and Towing Abilities

Here’s a look at the different engine options available for the Grand Cherokee, along with their towing capacities:

Standard 3.6-Liter Pentastar V-6 Engine

When properly equipped, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine can tow up to 6,200 pounds, making it ideal for hauling small trailers, outdoor equipment, and personal watercraft.

Available 5.7-Liter V-8 Engine

If you’re seeking enhanced towing capabilities, the 5.7-liter V-8 engine gives the Grand Cherokee even more power. When set up correctly, it can pull up to 7,200 pounds. That’s enough for boats, campers, and big trailers. The V-8 Grand Cherokee is strong and tough, so you can bring everything you need on your next big trip.

EcoDiesel and Hybrid Options

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain called the 4xe.  This hybrid system combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor, producing a total of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It has a 6,000-pound maximum towing capacity. As for the EcoDiesel, Jeep has discontinued this engine option for the current generation Grand Cherokee.  

Model-Specific Towing Capacities

Curious about what the towing abilities are for specific models? Here’s an overview of the model-specific towing capacities:

Laredo and Limited Models

The 2024 Grand Cherokee can haul well, no matter which version you pick. There’s the luxurious Laredo and Limited, along with the tough Trailhawk and high-end Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. They can all tow, but each does it in their own special way.

If your family likes to go on weekend trips to the lake or campground, you’ll appreciate the Laredo and Limited. Their 3.6-liter V-6 engine can handle up to 6,200 pounds, so you can bring all your favorite belongings with you.

Trailhawk and Overland Models

For bigger adventures, consider getting the Trailhawk or Overland with the 5.7-liter V-8 engine. It makes them even stronger. They can handle up to 7,200 pounds, which is enough to take a big trailer or boat to places that other vehicles just can’t reach.

Summit and High Altitude Models

The Summit and Summit Reserve are for people who want luxury but still need to pull a lot of weight. They have a powerful 5.7-liter V-8 engine, so you can haul heavy equipment while still feeling comfortable inside. They also come with special features that make towing a breeze.

Comparing With Competitors

When it comes to hauling capacity, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee dominates its midsize rivals. Take the Ford Explorer, for example. It has a respectable towing capacity of 5,600 pounds, but it can’t match the Jeep’s raw power. The Toyota 4Runner, known for its off-road capabilities, can only manage a maximum of 5,000 pounds. While the Honda Pilot is a favorite among families, it also has a maximum 5,000-pound capacity. If you need serious towing strength, the 2024 Grand Cherokee is in a league of its own.

Safe Towing Practices

Before you put your Jeep Grand Cherokee’s impressive towing capacity to the test, you should ensure that everything is set up safely. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re towing with your SUV:

• Inspect the hitch, wires, and chains: A quick check now to ensure everything is securely connected and in top shape can prevent trouble down the road.
• Be mindful of weight limits: Every Jeep Grand Cherokee has a maximum towing capacity, which can be found in the owner’s manual. Stick to it like glue, as too much weight puts a ton of stress on the SUV’s parts and makes it tougher to handle. That’s bad news when you’ve got important items in tow.
• Pay attention to weight distribution and tire pressure: These seemingly small factors can significantly impact your vehicle’s towing performance. Get everything adjusted perfectly, and you can head out feeling good, whether you’re off to the lake for a quick trip or moving to a new place.
