Grand cherokee and 154bh?

[154bhguy]

Hi everyone!
I just bought a (2600lbs)2020 154bh(very proud of it), and i’m Wondering if a 2015 grand Cherokee Laredo (without factory tow package) could do a good job towing it.

I have a brake controller and a WDH.

I haven’t bought the vehicle yet and i’m trying to know if the JGC is gonna be alright or if i’d rather go With a sorento v6 or a Santa Fe xl.

The owner's manual will list the capacity. Buy a Chevy Traverse and it will surprise you how well it tows that little trailer.

Towed our 264bh with a 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory tow package. And it did ok on small roads but was hard to drive on the interstate. The camper pushed the jeep around. Upgraded to a Ram 1500 incredible difference a heavier truck made. V

Do you have a tow haul button on your jeep?

We have 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the standard 3.6L engine. We have towed our 195RB that weighs about 3,500 loaded for about 10,000 miles including Florida to Illinois to Denver and the Rockies. Mileage drops to 10 to 14 average but the engine does it. We intend to replace it with newer one with the V8 to enhance merging and passing.

One proviso is a good hitch. We have the Andersen hitch and it is way better for sway control and does fine for keeping the front wheels steady on the road. Our prior bar type hitch was harder to put on/off and did nothing for stopping sway.

Second is to watch transmission and oil temps. If either goes to high than you will need an oil cooler or trans cooler added.

Your frame and engine will do fine but a tow package would be great idea.
