Without a doubt, Jeep is the brand New Jersey drivers turn to when it comes time to head out on the road for adventure. But that fun doesn't exist in a vacuum. Different drivers require different ways to get their thrills. Some are perfectly content throwing their gear in the back of their Wrangler and heading out to their favorite campsite. Others prefer to bring their toys along for the ride. For that, you need a little extra power. That is why there is a Jeep designed for every kind of driver and their journey.
So, just how much can you expect your favorite Jeep to be able to tow when the time comes to cut loose? That depends on the Jeep you drive and the engine it carries. So, it goes without saying the subcompact Jeep Renegade probably won't be able to haul as much as the Jeep Gladiator. Team Welsh Jeep Chrysler wants you to be prepared with the right Jeep when the action happens.
Jeep Compass
The smallest member of the Jeep lineup is no pushover. It carries a 177-horsepower Tigershark engine. That gives it the power haul up to 2,000 pounds behind it. When equipped with the optional towing package, you can hook up the travel camper and head out for the weekend. That is more than enough to carry your jet ski or fishing boat to the lake for a little R & R.
Jeep Wrangler
There are as many variations of the Jeep Wrangler as there are stars in the sky. It even gives you four different engines to take you on your journey. One constant among these powertrain options is its tow rating. When driving an equipped four-door Wrangler, you have the muscle to haul 3,500 pounds. Depending on which drivetrain you have, trailering becomes even easier. Hook up your bowrider or wake boat and head out to the lake and forget about the rest.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
You'll start seeing a boost in power once you start getting to the bigger models. With the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee, it isn't unusual to see it pulling 7,200 pounds behind it. That means your sailboat can come along on every weekend getaway. Or put it to work and load up your trailer for the big move.
Jeep Gladiator
When you drive the first pickup truck in the Jeep lineup, you know you are ready for anything. It has the muscle to pull 7,650 pounds. Whether it is your weekend retreat or at the worksite, the Gladiator can pull your camper or lumber to place effortlessly. Even its class-leading payload allows you to throw in as much as 1,700 pounds into the bed.
Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer
The newest additions to the Jeep lineup just so happen to be its most powerful pair. Both are powered by monster V8 engines. The Wagoneer with a 392-horsepower 5.7-liter combined with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The Grand Wagoneer comes packed with a 471-horsepower 6.4-liter V8 engine. These powerhouse systems give drivers the strength to tow a best-in-class 10,000 pounds. That opens a world of opportunity for drivers looking to bring along their heaviest toys along for the ride.
