Standard Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Capacity

Standardly, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is powered by a 3.6L Pentastar^® V6 engine that manufactures 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This kind of power enables the Jeep Grand Cherokee to tow up to 6,200 pounds of trailer weight when the vehicle is properly equipped.

To make towing in this vehicle as easy as possible, you’ll want to opt for the available tow hooks, grip-heavy all-terrain tires, and the advanced Quadra Drive^® II system. The latter system is capable of transferring all the engine’s torque to one singular rear wheel in order to give you the best traction possible.

Grand Cherokee: Maximum Towing Capacity

In addition to its standard engine, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers three high-powered engine options:

• 5.7L HEMI^® V8 engine with 360 horsepower & 390 lb-ft of torque
• 6.4L SRT^® V8 engine with 475 horsepower & 470 lb-ft of torque
• Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine with 707 horsepower & 645 lb-ft of torque

When one of these engines is under the hood and the vehicle is equipped with other necessary towing equipment, you’ll be able to move up to 7,200 pounds in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

This kind of towing capacity enables you to move all kinds of things with this model. Hitch a small hard-sided RV for a weekend of traversing the woods or a small recreational boat and head down to the lake to teach the kids how to fish.

Take care of your own home improvement projects with this vehicle on your side. Hitch a cargo trailer for simple and easy moving jobs or a flatbed trailer that you can pile high with fresh mulch for your next DIY landscaping project.

Advanced Transmission Capabilities

You’re going to need a pretty capable transmission if you’re planning on hauling some of the heaviest cargo out there. That’s why the Jeep Grand Cherokee comes equipped with a standard TorqeFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. This feature is designed to offer smooth acceleration and excellent power, so you’ll have no trouble bringing along a trailer and keeping up with highway traffic while you’re doing it.

Jeep Grand Cherokee: Enhanced Handling

One of the main reasons many drivers look to the Jeep Grand Cherokee is due to its enhanced handling. This SUV is built with an available 4x4 drivetrain that will provide you with exceptional traction, especially when driving over slippery surfaces. If you need an SUV that can take you just about anywhere, this vehicle has your back.

If you’re driving through a hilly area, this vehicle offers an available Hill-ascent Control feature. This technology makes it easy to tow up inclines as your vehicle will keep the brakes applied when you’re trying to accelerate up a hill so you can build up torque to climb the incline. This ensures you won’t roll down the hill when you let go of the brakes.

To top it all off, this vehicle is designed with an available Selec-Terrain Traction management system. This feature lets you switch to different drive modes that are designed to enhance your performance on a wide range of surfaces. If your trips are going to take you through snow or over gravel, this vehicle has you covered.

Advanced Suspension Technology

Your suspension system is integral to ensuring that you can tackle rough terrain like a pro. Overall, you’ll enjoy an available ground clearance of 10.6 inches that will help you comfortably glide over obstacles on the road.

In order to let you customize your ground clearance though, this vehicle offers drivers an available Quadra-Lift Air suspension system. This feature is designed to give you a set of position modes that let you raise and lift your suspension on demand. Whether you need extra space between you and the ground or you need to lower your vehicle to let someone in, this feature can help a lot.

Towing Safety Technology

Towing cargo can take a lot of skill and the Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed to make hauling much easier with its many safety features. This vehicle makes it easy for you to back up to your trailer with the ParkView^® rear backup camera giving you a clear view of what’s behind you.

If you’re taking your vehicle out on the highway, it can be challenging to steady your trailer if it starts to fishtail. Luckily, with the standard trailer-sway control, this vehicle can even out your trailer’s handling, so you have a smooth ride every time. You’ll love the feeling of confidence this SUV can provide you when you’re hauling cargo on vacation.

Hauling Cargo Inside the Grand Cherokee Cabin

Inside the cabin of the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you’ll be able to move all kinds of extra cargo thanks to its spacious design. Inside the cabin, you’ll find five seats. The three in the rear row can be folded down one at a time to accommodate all different kinds of cargo.

Without removing any of the seats, you’ll have 36.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. This is plenty of room for weekend bags, camping supplies, the kids’ sports equipment, and more.

Still need more space for larger items like kayak paddles, ski equipment, and full-size furniture for moving? Fold down one, two, or all three of the rear seats to take full advantage of this model’s 68.3 total cubic feet of cargo space.
