Learn more about the 2022 Grand Cherokee's tow ratings, discover the capabilities of the various trims available, and determine which packages you'll be towing with. View Jeep Grand Cherokee What Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee's Towing Capacity? 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee The Grand Cherokee currently has two powertrains available. You can choose between a fuel-efficient V-6 engine or a high-performance V-8 engine. Both machines have switchable drive modes and other advancements to improve efficiency and empower you on the highway. Let's take a look at the Jeep Grand Cherokee's max towing capability numbers for the standard V-6 and the V-8 upgrade. 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 Engine The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine has 6,200 lbs. of maximum towing capacity across the board and comes standard on every model. It offers an even blend of power ratings: 295 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque. The electronic stop/start technology gives you increased performance, efficiency, and driving pleasure while facing heavy traffic or frequent stoplights. It's one of the more efficient engines of its type, reaching 19 city mpg and 26 highway mpg. 5.7-Liter V-8 HEMI Engine The optional turbocharged 5.7L HEMI V-8 engine upgrade produces 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to haul up to 7,200 lbs. It uses variable valve timing for improved daily performance and is only one city/highway mpg less than the standard engine. The HEMI V-8 engine is available on both the all-wheel-drive Trailhawk and Summit Reserve trim levels. Both of these engine choices come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, though they are not the same kind. Rather, each option gets a separate version that suits the engine. Available technology, such as the Quadra-Drive II 4x4 System with Rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential and the optional Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, give both of these engines the support needed for any style of adventure. It's worth noting that past model years usually have SRT, Trackhawk, and other editions that have even more powerful V-8 engines, so look out for them and their tow ratings as well. How Much Can the Grand Cherokee Tow? This SUV has great towing numbers for a Class IV-hitch vehicle. With at least 6,200 to 7,200 lbs. of max towing weight, the 2022 Grand Cherokee has the ability to pull most large outboard boats, a medium or full-size camper, and utility trailers for moving and equipment. Please keep in mind that towing can be dangerous. Apart from maintaining proper electrical connections and safety chains, always be sure that you're not overburdening your vehicle beyond its towing capacity. Also, your towing capacity maximum could be lowered due to other factors, such as powertrain damage, poor maintenance, or other untreated problems, so make sure your towing vehicle receives the proper service and maintenance. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Features The Grand Cherokee's towing capacity is consistent—either 6,200 or 7,200 lbs. depending on whether you purchased the standard V-6 or the V-8 powertrain upgrade. There's more to towing than capacity numbers, however, so let's look at a few other things that make the 2022 Grand Cherokee awesome for towing. If you opt for the Trailhawk, an available package called the Advanced ProTech Group II adds a surround-view camera as well as: Night vision with animal and pedestrian detection. Intersection collision assist. ParkSense front and rear park assist with automatic stop. You won't understand why so few SUVs have night vision mode as it is so useful, while intersection collision assist will help you spot drivers who have run a red light and are heading toward you. Parksense and the surround-view system will come in handy whenever you're pulling your Grand Cherokee and its trailer through parking lots or urban areas. Even the standard Laredo has full-speed collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, active lane management, and blind-spot warnings with rear-cross traffic alert included. You should have no problem taking a trailer on the highway or city streets with these standard features. There's even a partially autonomous driving system available on many major highways called Active Driving Assist, aka hands-on-wheel automatic driving. This technology monitors and adjusts steering, braking, and gas based on sensors, cameras, and navigation data to help you stay in your lane and at a safe following distance. Though the mode takes a lot of the driving details out of your hands, you are still in control and can easily switch it off if you need a little manual control. What Is the Trailer Tow Prep Group on the 2022 Grand Cherokee? The heavy-duty Grand Cherokee SUV comes with several optional packages that add luxury, safety, and/or practical body features. The trailer tow prep group adds heavy-duty engine cooling that helps the Jeep stay at an ideal temperature under heavier workloads. You'll also get a 180-amp alternator, trailer-hitch camera zooming, and automatic headlight leveling. It also adds a full-size 18-inch steel spare tire and a rear load-leveling suspension to your SUV. Tow Like You Mean It With the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee The Grand Cherokee is highly rated and suited to all kinds of outdoor terrain and trails, especially the Trailhawk edition. You'll find few SUVs that come anywhere close to this Jeep in terms of traction, ground clearance, articulation, and maneuverability. Add in its superb tow ratings for its size, and this Jeep can gracefully handle most towing jobs either on the pavement or on the trail. The Grand Cherokee is more than an upsized version of the Cherokee. It brings more upgrades, standard features, and increased towing capabilities, especially for 2022.
