| 2026 Jeep Grand CherokeeMidsize SUV · figures approximate | 3,500–6,200 lb | 6,200 lb with Trailer Tow Prep Group; 3,500 lb without it. At 5,000 lb or more, Jeep requires a weight-distributing hitch. Configuration and sourcesThe factory Trailer Tow Prep Group is the axis: 6,200 lb of gross trailer weight and 620 lb of tongue weight with it, 3,500 lb and 350 lb without it. The 6,200 lb rating applies to BOTH 2026 engines, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 (availability Standard) and the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo (availability "Standard (Laredo Altitude)"), in 2WD and 4WD, on the single 3.45 axle ratio; jeep.com credits the figure to the Hurricane alone, which Jeep's own 2026 spec sheets contradict, and the Grand Cherokee L's trailer-towing table names the 3.6-liter V-6 and nothing else. Figures on this row are the two-row 4WD Limited with the tow package: GCWR 11,300 lb (11,200 lb RWD; 8,600 lb and 8,500 lb without the package), GVWR 6,050 lb, curb weight 4,413 lb. GVWR is flat at 6,050 lb across every two-row trim; curb weight runs 4,238 to 4,784 lb across the range. Trailer frontal area is capped at 55 sq ft with the package and 30 sq ft without, up from 40 sq ft in MY2024 and MY2025. Jeep's owner's manual requires a weight-distributing hitch at 5,000 lb of gross trailer weight or more (pp.190 and 191). The three-row Grand Cherokee L carries the same 6,200 lb and 620 lb on a GCWR of 11,700 lb and a GVWR of 6,500 lb (6,700 lb on the 4WD Summit). PROVENANCE: GVWR and curb weight come from a 2026 media spec sheet marked Preliminary whose weights table is headed WEIGHTS (ESTIMATES), which is why specConfidence is medium; the certification label in the vehicle's own door frame governs. No payload figure is carried: the spec sheet's printed payload column does not equal GVWR minus curb on any row (4WD Limited prints 1,260 lb against 6,050 - 4,413 = 1,637 lb) and is trim-indexed rather than curb-indexed, so payload belongs to the Tire and Loading Information Placard, which is where Jeep's own manual sends it. - 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual (104917_26_WL_OM_EN_USC_DIGITAL_E2), Trailer Towing Weights pp.192-194 - GCWR, trailer frontal area, max GTW, max trailer tongue weight and the 3,500 lb / 350 lb no-package limit; the 5,000 lb weight-distributing-hitch requirement at pp.190-191Retrieved 2026-08-07

Configuration and sources2.0L turbo I4 plug-in-hybrid (4xe) powertrain, 375 hp / 470 lb-ft peak combined, standard 4x4 (3.70 axle), when properly equipped. The 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) rating is uniform across all 2025 4xe trims (4xe, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit) since they share the single 2.0L PHEV powertrain and one trailer-towing line in the OEM spec. GVWR 6,900 lb, base curb weight 5,368 lb (5,368-5,521 lb across trims). CORRECTED 2026-08-07: GCWR and maximum trailer tongue weight ARE published, in the owner's manual - 12,125 lb and 600 lb with the Trailer Tow Prep Group, 9,625 lb and 350 lb without it (2026 manual p.194, and the same figures in the MY2025 handbook pp.85-86). ALSO CORRECTED: payloadLb 1,050 was dropped from this row. Jeep printed the same 1,050 lb for all four 2025 4xe trims across a 153 lb curb spread, and 6,900 - 5,368 = 1,532 lb, so the printed figure reconciles with nothing and cannot be graded against GVWR minus curb; payload belongs to the Tire and Loading Information Placard on the vehicle. Do not add it back. The gas two-row Grand Cherokee's higher 6,200 lb rating applies to the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and, from MY2026, to the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo as well, not to the 4xe; the Hurricane does not appear in a two-row Grand Cherokee TOWING TABLE before MY2026 (the MY2024 handbook's 2.0L row is the 4xe's hybrid 2.0L at 6,000 lb / GCWR 12,125 lb, not the Hurricane). MODEL-YEAR STATUS, re-dated: Jeep announced a 2026 Grand Cherokee 4xe on 2025-10-28, the cancellation was reported in January 2026, the 2026 owner's manual still prints the 4xe towing table, and NHTSA campaigns 25V741000 and 25V576000 both list 2026 Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles in their populations, so used listings and recall lookups may show a 2026 4xe. - 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe official specifications (Stellantis asset library) — Maximum Trailer Weight 6,000 lb (4WD, 3.70 axle); peak combined 375 hp / 470 lb-ft; GVWR 6,900 lb; curb 5,368-5,521 lb; payload 1,050 lbRetrieved 2026-06-29

IMPORTANT: 5,000 lb and 500 lb are Honda's TWO-OCCUPANT figures. Honda's owner's manual publishes maximum trailer weight and maximum tongue load as tables indexed to the number of occupants: AWD 5,000/500 at two, 4,750/475 at three, 4,500/450 at four, 4,250/375 at five, 4,000/250 at six, 2,500/125 at seven, and towing not recommended at eight; 2WD runs 3,500/350, 3,250/325, 3,000/300, 2,750/275, 2,400/240, 1,150/115. Each row assumes 150 lb per occupant plus 17.6 lb of cargo each, seats filling front to back, and Honda states that any additional weight, cargo or accessories reduces both maximums. Every 2026 AWD trim is rated 5,000 lb and every 2WD trim 3,500 lb on one 3.5-liter V6; there is no hybrid Pilot for 2026.
