The Grand Cherokee is the pick if you tow or go off-road. It tows up to 6,200 pounds and, with its available Quadra-Drive II 4×4, adds serious 4×4 hardware. The Explorer tops out around 5,000 pounds and leans toward on-road manners.
The Explorer seats up to seven with a standard third row. The standard Grand Cherokee seats five; if you need three rows in a Jeep, the Grand Cherokee L covers it.
The Explorer starts a bit lower at about $38,465 versus $40,410 for the Grand Cherokee. At ALM CDJR Perry, a new Grand Cherokee can also add ALM VIP Club benefits and our Included Lifetime Warranty on qualifying vehicles.
Choose the Explorer for a standard third row and a lower base price. Choose the Grand Cherokee for more towing and real off-road capability. The best way to decide is to drive them, so browse our inventory or contact our team.
