Tow Package Contents
To achieve the maximum towing capacities, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee typically requires the available Trailer Tow Group. This package usually includes:
- Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling: Essential for maintaining optimal engine temperature during demanding towing situations.
- Load-Leveling Rear Suspension: Helps keep the vehicle level and stable when carrying heavy loads or towing a trailer.
- Rear Load-Leveling Suspension: (If not included above) Further enhances stability and ride comfort.
- Class IV Receiver Hitch: A 2-inch hitch receiver capable of handling significant tongue weights.
- 7- and 4-Pin Wiring Harness: Provides necessary electrical connections for trailer lights, brakes, and auxiliary power.
- Trailer Sway Control (TSC): An electronic system that automatically applies brake pressure to individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help mitigate trailer sway.
While a transmission cooler is often integrated into the heavy-duty cooling system, an integrated trailer brake controller is usually a separate, dealer-installed accessory or an aftermarket addition. Always check with your dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date tow package contents.
5th-Wheel & Gooseneck
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not designed for 5th-wheel or gooseneck towing. These types of hitches are typically reserved for heavy-duty pickup trucks due to their specific connection points and structural requirements. The Grand Cherokee is built for conventional bumper-pull towing.
