What is the towing capacity of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
My son just bought an old Grand Cherokee to tow a trailer, but it doesn’t seem like a big enough car for the job. What kind of towing capacity does the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee have?

Having a car with plenty of towing power opens the doors for a lot of things—
camping
in comfort, moving without a rental, etc.—but you don’t want to stress your vehicle too much! Luckily, your son made a great choice, because the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.If you’re curious about your car, you can find any vehicle’s towing capacity by:
- Locating the car’s curb weight on the VIN sticker
- Finding the total weight of all passengers, gas, and cargo
- Subtracting the sum of the two numbers from the vehicle’s GCWR
If you’re still concerned about your son and the trailer he’s planning on towing, just have him update his car insurance with the
