2019 Grand Cherokee Performance

To learn about how much this Jeep can tow, we must first discuss what makes it all happen—the engine. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a lineup of four available engines, all designed to take on the road ahead with ease and vigor.

Standardly, you have the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine. This gives you a great amount of power with 295 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque, as well as a solid estimated fuel economy.

Next, you have the upgraded 5.7L V8 engine, which is available for select 4×4 models. This boasts 360 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque for elevated towing performance.

The 6.4L V8 SRT comes paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission and easily gives you up to 475 HP and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, you have the Supercharged 6.2L V8. With 707 HP and 648 lb-ft of torque under your hood, you’ll be able to tow to your heart’s content when properly equipped.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Capacity

Now that we know what lies beneath the hood of the Grand Cherokee, let’s get right into towing. With the standard engine and no additional equipment, this sports vehicle can haul up to 3,500 pounds. However, with the proper configuration, you can increase that number to a whopping 6,200 pounds with ease. Plus, you’ll receive a max payload of 1,180 pounds in the 4×2 model and 1,370 pounds with the optional 4×4.

For the most towing power, opt for one of the other three engines available in the higher trims. When these engines are paired with the correct towing equipment and 4×4 capabilities, you’ll be able to tow up to 7,200 pounds.
