How Much Can the Grand Cherokee Tow?
The engine plays a major part in how much you can tow with your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This SUV has four engines to choose from, so take a look at those specs in the table below…
| 3.6L Pentastar® V6 | 5.7L HEMI® V8 | 6.4L SRT® V8 | Supercharged 6.2L V8 |
| 295 horsepower | 360 horsepower | 475 horsepower | 707 horsepower |

| Tows 6,200 pounds | Tows 7,200 pounds | Tows 7,200 pounds | Tows 7,200 pounds |
As you can see, the 2020 Grand Cherokee doesn't skimp on power. It lets you choose between the standard V6 engine that produces up to 295 horsepower, or three available V8 engines that generate 360, 475, and 707 horsepower, respectively.
All three powertrains can easily tow small RVs or boats, as well as small horse trailers.
With the V6 engine, you can tow up to 6,200 pounds, when properly equipped. This powertrain also comes with either front-wheel drive or one of the Jeep 4-wheel drive (4x4) systems. Your potential towing capacity will be the same with either drivetrain option.
The three V8 engines can each tow up to 7,200 pounds. These powertrains come standard with a Jeep 4x4 system. They also include a Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, which lets you choose between five drive modes to further optimize off-road performance. The modes you can select from are:
- Snow Mode
- Sand Mode
- Auto Mode
- Mud Mode
- Rock Mode
