Towing in the All-New 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

The redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee gains an available plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) powertrain for 2022. While the model has dropped two engines since the previous model year, this efficient new one more than makes up for it. It’s engineered to be more planet-friendly and take on tougher terrain.

And yes, it can tow. Per the chart above, the Grand Cherokee 4xe can tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. You’ll have the pulling power to move a small fishing boat or even a small teardrop camper. But towing is just the beginning of what the 4xe is capable of.

Pure powertrain innovation makes this the most fuel-efficient Grand Cherokee to date. In full-electric mode, the Grand Cherokee 4xe earns an EPA-estimated 56 combined MPGe. You can plan on far fewer fuel stops when you make this Jeep your family adventure SUV.

Beyond Towing: Grand Cherokee 4xe Off the Roads

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe can go toe-to-toe against any of the all-gas-powered Grand Cherokee models on more rugged landscapes. It has the armor to handle it all.

The underbody of the Grand Cherokee 4xe is protected with a reinforced housing to make sure vital components are protected from rugged obstacles in your path. Meanwhile, the battery pack features a special water-sealing that allows you to drive through up to 24 inches of water.

And you’ll have traction on the trails, too. An available Quadra-Trac® II 4x4 system features a 2-speed low transfer case that uses sensors to “see” when your tires are slipping. As much as 100% of available torque can be sent to the axle with the most traction to help keep you stable on the road.

If you want even more capable 4-wheel drive, available Quadra-Drive® II is the full-time 4x4 system you’ve been waiting for! It’s always active and delivers all-weather traction by delivering up to 100% of torque to a single rear wheel if needed.

By the way, these available 4x4 systems aren’t just applicable on the trails. Either system will come in handy when you have a trailer hitched up to keep your Grand Cherokee 4xe towing adventure on track!


Towing in the Trail Rated® 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Need a towing machine that also achieves peak performance on the trails? The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk can tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, all thanks to its available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine. But this SUV’s true selling point is its Trail Rated® badge.

Plus, with the Trailhawk, you’ll have 11.3 inches of ground clearance. Adventure with confidence in the Jeep that can conquer much more than your average SUV.
