Tow vehicle model guide
Jeep Grand Cherokee towing guide
Grand Cherokee towing capacity depends on the model year, engine, two- or three-row body, drivetrain, and installed towing equipment—not just the badge on the liftgate.
maximum available towing on select prior-model configurations; newer powertrains may be rated lower
Up to 7,200 lbMaximum or component ratings are not the rating for every configuration. Verify the exact vehicle and load.Why the number changes
- Engine availability and maximum tow ratings changed across model years, so a rating from an older V8-equipped Grand Cherokee may not apply to a newer model.
- The two-row Grand Cherokee and three-row Grand Cherokee L differ in wheelbase, curb weight, passenger capacity, and available payload.
- People, cargo, accessories, hitch hardware, and trailer tongue weight all consume the payload shown on the exact vehicle’s certification label.
