How Much Can a Jeep Grand Cherokee Tow?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most capable midsize SUVs on the road, and how much it can tow depends on which version you choose. Properly equipped, the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee tows up to 6,200 pounds, a best-in-class number for the segment. Here is the full breakdown by configuration, what it takes to reach that rating, and how to shop one at ALM CDJR Perry.

Grand Cherokee maximum towing: up to 6,200 pounds

The 2026 Grand Cherokee maxes out at 6,200 pounds of towing when properly equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package. That covers most of what a midsize SUV owner tows, including small boats, campers, and utility trailers. Your SUV’s actual rating depends on the engine, drivetrain, and equipment, so it is worth matching the build to how you plan to tow.

Grand Cherokee towing capacity by configuration

The Grand Cherokee lineup keeps its towing simple. Here is how the versions compare when properly equipped:

• Grand Cherokee (two-row, gas): up to 6,200 pounds
• Grand Cherokee L (three-row, gas): up to 6,200 pounds, so the extra row does not cost you towing
• Grand Cherokee 4xe (plug-in hybrid): up to 6,000 pounds, with electric-assist efficiency around town

Both the gas V6 and the available turbocharged four-cylinder reach the same 6,200-pound maximum with the Trailer Tow Package, so you can pick the powertrain that fits your driving and still tow near the top of the range.

What you need to tow the maximum

To reach the 6,200-pound rating, a Grand Cherokee needs the Trailer Tow Package, which is available across the lineup and standard on the Summit. The package adds the heavy-duty hitch, trailer wiring, and the cooling and hardware that support the full rating. Our team can confirm the exact tow rating and equipment on any Grand Cherokee on our lot.

What can a Grand Cherokee tow?

A 6,200-pound rating handles a lot of weekend gear. That includes many small travel trailers and pop-up campers, a pair of personal watercraft on a trailer, most small fishing and ski boats, and utility or landscape trailers. If you are close to the limit, weigh your fully loaded trailer and factor in passengers and cargo before you hitch up.

Tow with confidence

Always stay within your Grand Cherokee’s tow rating, and account for tongue weight, passengers, and cargo so you do not exceed the gross combined weight rating. A properly equipped Grand Cherokee also offers trailer sway damping and selectable drive modes that help keep the trailer settled on the highway and on the ramp.
