2023 Jeep Cherokee Towing Capacity

Thibodaux drivers in the market for an SUV that’s great for weekend adventures with the family and doing light work should consider the new Jeep Cherokee. It provides enough horsepower and torque to take on tough terrain and pull a camper, trailer, or small boat around from Berwick to Thibodaux and back with ease.

With the Jeep Cherokee tow package, this versatile SUV can tow up to 4,000 pounds, which equals a respectable two tons! The Jeep Cherokee payload is also respectable, which we’ll cover further as we explore the 2023 Jeep Cherokee towing capacity. When you’re ready to experience the power of the Jeep Cherokee, pull in to Southland Dodge for a test drive, and we’ll be glad to discuss everything, from available Jeep Cherokee packages to lease and finance options.

2023 Jeep Cherokee Towing & Payload Capacities by Engine

The Jeep Cherokee is available with two engines: a 2.4L engine and a 2.0L engine. The 2.0L engine is available with the Trailer-Tow Group, which helps streamline towing by installing several tow-ready features. Here’s how the specs break out:

There are two engine options for the new Jeep Cherokee – the 2.4L I4 and 2.0L I4 respectively. Normally, you would suspect that the larger 2.4L engine would have an edge in power over the smaller 2.0L engine, but check out the specs below:

2.4L I4 DOHC DI Turbo Engine w/ESS

• Cherokee Towing Capacity – 2,000 pounds
• Cherokee Payload Capacity – 1,000 pounds
• Horsepower – 180 hp
• Torque – 171 lb-ft of torque

2.0L I4 Zero Evap M-Air Engine w/ESS

• Towing Capacity with the Jeep Cherokee Tow Package – 4,000 pounds
• Cherokee Payload Capacity – 1,000 pounds
• Horsepower – 270 hp
• Torque – 295 lb-ft of torque

As you can see, the Cherokee payload remains a respectable 1,000 pounds across both engine options, but the smaller 2.0L engine is clearly the more powerful option. Not to mention, the Trailer-Tow Group is available with the Jeep Cherokee 2.0L.

Available Trailer-Tow Group

As mentioned above, you can upgrade the towing capabilities of the 2.0L engine further with Trailer-Tow Group, which boasts these additional tow features:
