Trim Notes
7,200 lb maximum towing capacity is cited as Best-in-Class Maximum Towing Capacity for the Grand Cherokee lineup; the 3.6L V6 configuration is specifically noted as towing up to 6,200 lb, so the 7,200 lb figure is achieved by a different configuration (likely the 5.7L V8), though the document does not explicitly specify which engine/drivetrain achieves the 7,200 lb maximum.
⚠ Important
Peak 7,200 lb: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Best-in-Class Maximum Towing Capacity, specific engine/drivetrain/package not identified in document beyond headline claim) (conventional ball hitch). Next-highest 6,200 lb: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine.

Prose overview
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee carries a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class III hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokees on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
