If you’re eyeing the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee or its larger sibling, the Grand Cherokee L, towing is more than a bonus feature—it’s a core capability. Whether you’re hauling boats, trailers, or just a packed trailer for a family adventure, these SUVs offer versatile, high-performance towing options with three engine choices and advanced 4×4 systems.

Towing Capacity Across Engines

  • 3.6-Liter Pentastar V6: Standard on most Grand Cherokee models, this engine delivers 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It’s rated to tow up to 6,200 pounds, making it a strong choice for many towing needs.
  • 2.0-Liter Turbo PHEV (4xe): Jeep’s innovative 4xe plug-in hybrid system balances fuel efficiency and power, producing 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds, with added eco-benefits like an estimated 56 MPGe and up to 26 miles of electric-only range.
  • 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 (Grand Cherokee L): The HEMI V8 cranks out 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, reaching a best-in-class towing capacity of 7,200 pounds—ideal for the heaviest trailers and boats.

Towing Features and 4×4 Options

Jeep has packed the Grand Cherokee lineup with several towing-enhancement features for added stability and control:

  • Trailer Sway Control: This essential safety feature helps mitigate trailer sway, providing a smoother, safer drive when towing.
  • Hill-Start Assist & Hill-Descent Control: These features are particularly useful when towing on inclines or steep descents, adding stability and confidence.
  • Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling: Included in the Trailer Tow Package, this system helps manage engine temperature to maintain performance over longer hauls.

Additionally, Jeep offers three distinct 4×4 systems—Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II with an electronic limited-slip rear differential—allowing drivers to handle various terrains with ease. For those who venture off-road, the available Quadra-Lift air suspension provides up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance, ideal for challenging trails and varied road conditions.
