The Power That Makes The Best-In-Class Jeep Cherokee Tow Capacity Possible

The 2023 Jeep Cherokee towing capacity is an impressive and best-in-class maximum figure,1 but before we explore it, we've gotta see what makes all the awesome power possible. So, what's under the hood of a 2023 Jeep Cherokee? One of two engines. And under the skin, 4WD is newly-standard, bringing iconic capabilities to every new Jeep Cherokee.

To make the most of the now-standard four-wheel traction, your engine choices include a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, or an available 2.0-liter turbo engine.

No matter which of the Cherokee engines you get with our Jeep lease deals, a standard nine-speed automatic transmission links up to put the power down with strength and smoothness. But how much power is on tap? With the efficient 2.4-liter engine, a hearty 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque are produced; a manufacturer-estimated 21/29 MPG (city/highway)2 makes the power last all day long.

Moving up to the turbo choice, the Cherokee SUV's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder comes in with an exceptionally thrilling 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque; this engine is the one that unlocks the highest-rated, best-in-class maximum Jeep Cherokee towing capacity.1

For 2023, as well, there are now two streamlined trim levels to choose from: The 2023 Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux and the 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. The Altitude Lux model comes standard with the 2.4-liter engine, while the Trailhawk trim gets the powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine as standard. Finance your new Jeep Cherokee in either trim, and you'll be in for some powerful towing action.

Towing Capacity of Jeep Cherokee SUVs: 2023 Specs By Engine

So, let's take a closer look at the Jeep Cherokee towing capacity by engine.

Grab hold of the standard 2.4-liter engine, and your 2023 Jeep Cherokee will be able to tow up to 2,000 pounds3 when properly equipped. Go up for the 2.0-liter turbo engine, and you'll be able to achieve that best-in-class maximum towing capacity1 of 4,000 pounds3 when properly equipped.

2023 Jeep Cherokee Towing Capacity vs. The Competition

So, we know that the 2023 Cherokee has a best-in-class maximum towing capacity,1 but by how much does it achieve that "best" status over its class? Let's take a look.

First up to try to dethrone the Jeep Cherokee towing capacity is the Nissan Rogue. This competitor is a well-known SUV, but with the 2023 Nissan Rogue SUV's maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds4 when properly equipped, the Cherokee makes its power well-known to all.

In the realm of all-terrain adventure SUVs, the Subaru Forester is one of the other well-known rivals for the Jeep Cherokee. But on top of exclusive Jeep 4x4 features letting the Cherokee go further, the 2023 Subaru Forester has a maximum towing capacity of only 3,000 pounds5 when properly equipped.

The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport similarly tries to compete with the Jeep Cherokee SUV's adventure-ready capabilities but lacks the Jeep-exclusive 4WD enhancements like 4-Low mode. As well, the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport only offers you a maximum towing capacity of 2,200 pounds6 when properly equipped, showing once more how the Jeep Cherokee towing capacity conquers all.

With many more class-conquering features and amenities, the Cherokee is a fan-favorite at our Jeep dealer in Rockville, MD, for many good reasons.
