What you need to tow with a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is rated from 6,200 to 6,200 lb depending on configuration — a 0% spread. Find your configuration below, then size the hitch to the trailer you are towing, not to the truck's maximum.
A single towing number for this truck would be a lie. 6,200 lb applies to one exact configuration when properly equipped. Same badge, different configuration, and the real figure can be thousands of pounds lower. That is why every row below carries its configuration.

Axle ratio is the spec that gets left out. It changes the rating materially, and no commercial vehicle-data API carries it — which is one reason third-party towing databases have been measured overstating ratings by thousands of pounds. It is on your build sheet, or decodable from the RPO label in the glovebox.

Common questions

How much can a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L tow?

Between 6,200 and 6,200 lb depending on the exact configuration — that is a 0% spread, so a single headline number is misleading. The 6,200 lb figure requires one specific combination of configuration. Look up your own configuration in the table on this page.

What hitch do I need for a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?

Size the hitch to the trailer, not the truck. For a trailer up to 6,200 lb you need Class 3 hardware with a 2 in receiver, plus a weight-distributing hitch with sway control. The truck's rating is a ceiling you must stay under, not the thing you buy for.

Why is there no payload number on this page?

Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model. It is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Published sources disagree with manufacturers in both directions on payload, so stating one per model would be wrong for most trucks. Your tongue weight counts against payload, which is why it matters.
