The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine of the Jeep Grand Cherokee lays a foundation for power. Up to 293 horsepower not only gives you the ability to accelerate with swagger but also tow up to 6,200 pounds when properly configured.
The available 2.0L I4 DOHC DI Turbo PHEV engine pairs with a plug-in hybrid powertrain for efficiency but still wields the power you need to pull a trailer by towing up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers a finishing touch with the strength of an optional 5.7L Hemi® V8 engine. The engine performs the heavy lifting that can even come in handy on the job site. Its muscle can reach up to 7,200 pounds of towing when properly configured, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s maximum.
An SUV with Night Moves
The SUV has a silver bullet. You can work on your night moves and tow without searching for clues as you pull a boat.
The Jeep Grand has available Night Vision for drivers who are leaving early in the day for fishing or headed back after a long road trip. Thermographic technology and infrared sensors can scan up to 328 feet ahead, helping you learn about approaching animals or pedestrians.
Drivers can also keep a clear eye on the horizon as dawn begins to break. The SUV can also be equipped with:
- LED headlamps
- LED taillamps
- Available LED fog lamps
Each of the features can help you tow safely. You’ll be able to monitor the road or beaten path around you throughout the day or evening. The SUV’s all-around capability makes it easier to plan for any occasion.
Technology for Any Occasion
Whether you are driving at night or during the day, the SUV has additional technology that can help you tow safely during any occasion. Driver-assistive systems and engineering prowess can help your cargo and precious cargo arrive intact.
This includes available safety features, like Drowsy Driver Warning. If you are headed home after a long haul at work, your SUV can look after you. This Jeep Cherokee safety system alerts drivers when fatigued driving is detected.
Drivers can also tow with confidence. The optional Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System optimizes the SUV’s traction on a variety of surfaces with different drive modes:
- Auto
- Sport
- Rock
- Snow
- Mud/Sand
This versatile drive capability translates to towing. When you turn off the highway and onto the beaten path, you can have greater ability to maintain control as you ease the Jeep Grand Cherokee through unique terrain.
