Jeep Towing Capacity Guide
Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing Capacity
The Grand Cherokee gives you both the luxury you want for your daily commuting and the offroad capability for weekend adventure. But that’s not all, it also boasts a truly impressive towing capacity, useful on roads or off. There is even a plug-in hybrid drivetrain offered, to give you unrivaled fuel economy without sacrificing space or luxury. There is a three-row Grand Cherokee as well, the Grand Cherokee L, and this version is available with a 5.7-liter V8 that pushes towing capacity even further.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing |
| 3.6L V6 | 293 | 260 lb-ft | 6,200 pounds |
| Plug-In Hybrid | 375 | 470 lb-ft | 6,000 pounds |
Jeep Compass Towing Capacity
People tend not to associate offroading capability with a compact SUV, but the Compass is a Jeep, and that means it’s the exception to this rule. This is especially true of the Trailhawk trim, which comes with a variety of equipment upgrades to add even more capability. But regardless of which trim you select, the Compass comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This is good for a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.
Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity
When you close your eyes and think of a Jeep, it’s probably a Wrangler you’re picturing. The Wrangler is the model that built the Jeep brand, and it remains the model that most closely resembles the military vehicle that the whole lineup was derived from. Versatility, customizability, and utility are what the Wrangler is all about, and that’s why Jeep gives you several engine options, as well as the option of a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. A huge list of trims, options, and equipment is also available.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing |
| 3.6L V6 | 285 | 260 lb-ft | 5,000 pounds |
| 2.0L I4 | 270 | 295 lb-ft | 5,000 pounds |
| 6.4L V8 | 470 | 470 lb-ft | 3,500 pounds |
| Plug-In Hybrid | 375 | 470 lb-ft | 3,500 pounds |
Jeep Gladiator Towing Capacity
The idea behind the Gladiator is simple, it’s essentially a Wrangler with a pickup bed. But it deserves its own section for a couple of reasons. One is that the existence of the Gladiator shows just how committed Jeep is to utility and versatility. The other is that the Gladiator is different enough from the Wrangler to actually have pretty noticeably different towing capabilities. Blending the capabilities of the Wrangler with more traditional pickup functions, the Gladiator is powered by the same 3.6-liter V6 that is offered in the Wrangler, producing 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, but here it allows for a maximum payload of 1,725 pounds and a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.
