Cherokee Engines and Performance
The Cherokee comes with a 2.4-liter Tigershark® Multiair® 2 engine that produces 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. This engine is designed for efficiency and mates to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The next step up is an available 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that makes 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, which is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Finally, the high-output engine is an available 3.2-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that produces 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. The V6 is equipped with engine stop/start technology that powers the engine off at a stop to improve efficiency.
The Cherokee is equally comfortable on-road and off, providing you with a smooth and comfortable driving experience on pavement and rugged capability on the trails. The Cherokee is also one of the best off-roaders in the class and boasts a range of available four-wheel-drive setups that use the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System to adjust the experience to the conditions. Several features are available to improve off-road performance, such as hill descent control, low-range gearing, and all-terrain tires.
Cherokee Towing Capacity
The towing capacity of the Cherokee depends on the engine you choose. With the base engine, the Cherokee is capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds. With the turbo engine, the towing capacity increases to 4,000 pounds. The best towing capacity comes with the V6 engine, which boasts a best-in-class towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.
To gain real-world values, the base Cherokee is capable of towing utility trailers, aluminum or fiberglass boat trailers, small campers, and a loaded one-horse trailer. The two more powerful engines are capable of towing larger horse trailers with two or three horses, a utility trailer full of ATVs or personal watercraft, and larger boats. You could also pull campers that are between 17 feet and 23 feet in length.
Cherokee Safety Features
Many of the Cherokee's standard and available safety features are also helpful when towing. Having a trailer in tow means you have to plan turns and lane changes more carefully and prepare to brake much earlier to give yourself enough distance. Having advanced safety features gives you an early warning system to help avoid the unexpected.
Numerous safety features are standard for the Cherokee, such as lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, a feature that alerts you if you drift from your lane and gently guides you back to safety. You'll also have blind-spot monitoring with a rear cross-traffic alert, a feature that warns you if there's a vehicle or pedestrian in your path when changing lanes or reversing
