Towing it behind an RV?
Can you flat tow a Grand Cherokee?
Only Grand Cherokees with Quadra-Trac II or Quadra-Drive II (two-speed transfer case) can be flat towed. Quadra-Trac I models must ride on a trailer, and 4x2 models need a rear-wheel dolly.
Flat towing a Jeep, model by modelWhat the numbers mean
- Max trailer
- The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the vehicle carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound of cargo comes off it.
- Axle ratio
- A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.
