2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Configurations Review

Jeep Grand Cherokee Towing, Performance, & Drivetrain Configurations

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a standard 4x2 system and three unique available 4x4 systems. On the Trailhawk trim, you’ll have the Quadra-Drive® II 4x4 System and the ability to disconnect your front sway bar along with a towing capacity of 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. The Laredo, Altitude, Overland, and Summit trims still offer an adventure-ready 6,200-pound towing capacity when properly configured.

With the optional Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, you can easily tackle all types of terrain with the flip of a switch. It allows you to transition among the following drive modes:

• Auto
• Sport
• Rock
• Snow
• Mud/Sand

If you want the capability to cruise down the highway or head off the beaten path at a moment’s notice, there’s the optional Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension with Electronic Semi-Active Damping. It automatically lowers the vehicle at highway speeds for a more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient ride.

On the Trailhawk model, this suspension also lets you raise the Jeep Grand Cherokee to enjoy up to 11.3 inches of ground clearance while you cover rocky terrain or deep snow drifts. It will also provide you with a water-fording depth of 24 inches.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Configurations

Along with these adaptable performance features, you will find a standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine under the hood of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It cranks out up to 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is coupled with a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic transmission.

Those looking for even more power can upgrade to the roaring 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine on select trims. This mighty motor churns out 357 horsepower and with the proper equipment, it helps the Jeep Grand Cherokee reach its 7,200-pound maximum towing capacity.
