How Much Can The Grand Cherokee L Tow?

No matter which of the six trim levels you opt for, you can tow up to 6,200 pounds with the standard 3.6L V6 Pentastar® engine. However, if you are trying to tow up to the best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds, then you will need to upgrade to the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve 4x4 to gain access to the available class-exclusive 5.7L V8 HEMI MDS VVT engine! 

The following are specs for the standard engine. 

Standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 24V VVT Engine

• 290 hp @ 6,400 rpm
• 257 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm

While this is an SUV, the Jeep brand still shows off its road capability whether you opt for the V6 engine or V8 engine! You can even find the Trail Rated® badge on the Grand Cherokee L Overland that means the vehicle exceeds in five key areas of off-road capability- traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording.
