What is a Jeep Grand Cherokee's towing capacity?

How much weight can I pull behind my Jeep Grand Cherokee? I want to get a boat, but I also want to make sure that I’ll be able to transport that boat using my car. If my car can’t handle a boat behind it, I’ll probably wait to buy one until after I get a new car. What is a Jeep Grand Cherokee’s towing capacity?

Luckily, your
Jeep Grand Cherokee
can handle most smaller boats without an issue. The towing capacity on a Grand Cherokee is about 6,200 pounds.
This should be enough power to pull a pontoon boat, bay boat, or wakeboard boat, among others. If you’ve got a larger boat in mind, however, it’s best to find a different towing vehicle.
If you’d rather, you can also usually pay someone to transport the boat to the water every spring and back to your home every fall. Then, you’ll just have to find a place to dock the boat in the meantime.
Regardless of what you decide to do, you’ll want to make sure that your towing vehicle is well-insured. The
