Crucial Towing Tips For the Jeep Grand Cherokee
V6 engine models are rated for 6,200 lbs. Rare V8 and Hemi models can pull up to 7,200 lbs. Always check your engine spec first.
If your Jeep has Quadra-Lift air suspension, disable automatic leveling on the dashboard before attaching a weight-distribution hitch.
Keep trailer length under 24 feet, as the Grand Cherokee has a shorter SUV wheelbase compared to pickup trucks.
Utilize sway control hitches when towing taller travel trailers to eliminate wind drag pushing forces.
