Jeep Cherokee vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Engines and Capability
Bartonville drivers looking for an off-road-ready ready SUV will love the Cherokee Trailhawk® trim that can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

The 2021 Cherokee also has a significant advantage in fuel economy with a remarkable 22 mpg in the city and 31 miles on the highway.
The Grand Cherokee makes up in power for what it lacks in fuel efficiency. The entry-level Laredo E can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and you can tow up to 7,200 pounds with the SRT® and Trackhawk trims. Compare the Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee engine specs below:
