The 2022 Jeep Cherokee can tow up to 4,500 pounds of trailer weight when properly equipped. No matter which of its two engines you choose, you’ll be able to tow an impressive amount of weight. See what each configuration of the Jeep Cherokee powertrain equipment is capable of below:

The Equipment That Makes It Possible

As you can see, both of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee engines offer impressive power and towing capability. However, these engines don’t work alone. These engines standardly pair with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which helps to maximize power and efficiency even when you’re towing the maximum amount of weight.

To tow the maximum weight you can in the Jeep Cherokee, you’ll also need to opt for the Trailer Tow equipment group. This option group includes:

• 4- and 7-pin wiring harness
• Auxiliary transmission oil cooler
• Class III hitch receiver
• Trailer-tow wiring harness
• Heavy-duty engine cooling

These features are essential for proper towing, especially the two pieces of cooling equipment. The transmission oil cooler and the engine cooler pull excess heat from these hardworking parts, so they can continue to perform without getting overheated.

Jeep Cherokee Hauling Capabilities

On top of what you’ll be able to tow behind the 2022 Jeep Cherokee, you’ll also be able to haul quite a bit of cargo inside this model. With all five of its seats upright and in place, the Cherokee offers 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space for you to take advantage of.

Need more space for bigger or longer cargo items? Use the 60/40 split-folding capabilities of the second row of seats to fold down one, two, or all three of the rear seats to make the most of the interior of the Cherokee. With all three rear seats folded down, you’ll have a whopping 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space to take advantage of.

The 2022 Cherokee also has available roof rails, which will let you bring your bike with you when heading to the trails, or everyone’s luggage when heading on vacation with the family.
