Jeep Grand Cherokee
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD and BuccaneerI have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 ltr, It has a Pro Bitz chip fitted and now produces 300bhp and 673 nm of torque . Towing recently to Porthmadoc from Cardiff via the A470 towing a Buccaneer Barracuda at 2 tonne in weight,i was producing 25 mpg at around 40-50 mph and when climbing the very steep hills/mountains, i produced and average of 23 mpg. .She towed as if there were nothing attached to the tow ball. Effortless and even reached 8th gear at 50 mph on the level.. luxury, powerful and reliability with little effort and stress free driving while towing ………get one ..a must
Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.2 V8 SRT and BaileyBeen towing with my jeep srt for a couple of years now had no problems. Acceleration and pulling power is phenomenal. Getting around 16 miles to the gallon not bad for a 6.2 hemi.only draw back was having tow bar fitted,had to go to jeep as no other company could get one and it cost £1300 fully fitted.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD and SwiftBrilliant towcar. don't think there is a caravan on the market that this wouldn't pull with no effort. 24/26 mpg when towing. love it.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and LunarBrilliant tow car ! Pulls our twin axle lunar quasar FB with no effort at all.Very easy to get carried away when accelerating to overtake lorries on the motorway. We average 23mpg fully loaded and with roof box which is fine.Plenty of room in the back for our two big dogs as well.
We tried a lot of 4x4;s before picking the Jeep and made the right choice.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyJust returned from 2 weeks towing my Bailey Unicorn Barcelona (2012) with my Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD (2007). We went to the Outer Hebrides and encountered all types of roads which the jeep tackled effortlessly. This is by far the best tow car i have ever owned and I have been caravaning over 30 years. MPG was 22 over 860 miles covered which is not had for types of roads and steep inclines we encountered. I would recommend this car to anyone who has a bigger unit to tow.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and Elddislast year had two trips of 13 wks. each and 5000miles each around france and spain.we averaged 20mpg and the car never missed a beat ,and had no issues with long motorway hills,my car is a 2006 model.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and LunarI have been towing my Lunar Delta RS with my Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD for this year only and it tows perfectly. Being a twin axle caravan I was unsure as to how stable it would be, but have been pleasantly surprised. The Jeep manages ably with no issues and the cruise control make life so easy. I would have no hesitation recommending this outfit to anyone.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and LunarPreviously reviewed with Adria Altea...now with 2014 Lunar clubman SE saros edition..i thought this car towed really well previously but now i have a new van with alko chassis with ATC and suspension..the outfit feels even better with the caravan having suspension it is soooo smooth..very happy..still only 21mpg which i guess is ok as i dont drive economically..i absolutely love this car..have driven to south of France and no numb bum..you really dont notice the caravan is on the back..my brother has a 2011 Discovery 4 (twin turbo model) with a similar weight caravan as mine...the jeep performs just as well as the Discovery solo and towing at less than half the price of his landrover..i would recomend this car to anyone..go get one!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and CoachmanI had a Swift Conqueror 645, twin axle, MTPLM of 1830kg, and the Jeep didn't know it was towing.
I now have the Coachman which is lighter at MTPLM of 1595kg. Naturally effortless in any conditions.
If you want an excellent towing car then the Grand Cherokee will not fail you.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and AdriaHad the jeep 6 months, awesome towcar. Only towed on one 250 mile journey but it was very stable, loads of power, accelerates from standstill to motorway speeds very quickly. Very smooth ride solo or towing, it simply wafts along. Rear camera makes hitching a doddle. Mpg approx 19mpg towing and with 14ft kayak on the roof bars, but I have a heavy right foot. I would recomend this car solo or towing, have towed with mk1 landrover discovery, toyota hilux, Audi A6, Audi 90, jeep cherokee and this grand cherokee tops them all by a mile
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and ElddisI love my Jeep and it pulls this big outfit with ease, note I never tow with a heavy right foot and prefer to stay at 55 to 60 mph. Fuel consumption I think is a little high as I average 18 to 23 mpg but having said that both car, roof box and caravan a loaded to the gunnels, so perhaps not so bad as always in mountainous country side? I would recommend my Jeep to anyone and it has been much more reliable than my old Discovery 3 and previous Disco's. Never really towed with an auto transition before but this takes it all in its stride. It's brill and the Caravan is beautifully fitted and quite heavy with air-con and huge awning too, so make holidays a real treat that we all look forward too.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD and EribaJeep grand Cherokee 2012 and hymer nova580 sl
You would hardly know it's there and the stability in more extreme driving conditions don't seem to affect the rig. The hymer is heavy, that helps and the jeep has stability control and probably enough power 240 bhp/550 n to pull two vans
I achieve 34 mpg without and 26/7 with van
I have always balanced loads in the caravan it being a single axle
Awesome...
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and ElddisGreat outfit, Jeep pulls without any issues however please note that having read other reports it is most definitely not recommended that you use cruise control when towing (especially van this weight & size), Jeep main dealer and factory strongly advise against it as could potentially cause very expensive drive train damage including gearbox. This is my third GC and I love them and cannot fault as towing vehicle, highly recommended.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyI've just bought a Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD and although it's my first Jeep I'm now excited to tow with it thanks to these great reports. Thanks Everyone!!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and Lunarhave towed the twin axle Lunar Lexon all around teh country and most of the time I have to remind myself that it's still hooked on the back. Cruising at 65 (on the clock but more like 61-62 in reality@2100rpm is perfect. And when you do get on the grass you're not skiding and wheel spinning all over the place
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyForgot to mention that the hill-start facility on the car works really well, even with a caravan on the towbar!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyJust got back from 1st trip with this outfit and must say, its a fantastic combination. The 'van is superb and rock solid with the Alko ATC, and the Jeep has plenty of power for the hills with seamless down-changes of the smooth gearbox. You really dont know its there. Fuel economy was low twenties all round. Very smooth, very impressed.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and ElddisFairly effortless towing as you might expect. Fuel consumption normally 22 to 24 mpg on motorways, drops to 18mpg when towing. I have a LPG system fitted and towing on LPG seems no different than on petrol, same mpg and cruise speeds. Can be a bit twitchy in strong side winds and carefully loading anything in the caravan makes a huge difference to high speed stability. I tend to tow with the van empty as possible and towing like this makes for safe cruising and overtaking at motorway speeds. Just returned from a 800 mile tour of Scotland, 600 mikes of which was towing on some very twisty, narrow country roads where it was a joy to drive but only averaged 14 mpg when towing and driving progressively. LPG is hard to find up there though so will be taking a diesel when we go again!
Don't be too scared by the high fuel consumption, LPG is pretty near half the cost of petrol, so cost per mile is actually cheaper than the diesel grand Cherokee given insurance, service and road tax is the same!?! It really sticks in the gut when you have to run petrol cos you can't find a garage though!!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and Coachmanread all the reports agreat help and i feel i could buy one to tow a coachman laser many thanks
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 and AvondaleOur 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 running on LPG is a perfect match for our 2002 Landranger 6400 EWS. Pulls very well, stable and returns around 18mpg. Looks great as a unit too being very long.Recommend the car and van to anyone, big yank tank, comfortable effortless touring. liken to driving a sofa.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and SterlingI tow a Stirling Wayfarer Elite with a Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD Limited and I have to say its brilliant,prior to this I was using a Shogun Sport and I thought that was good,but the Jeep is head and shoulders above.Fuel consumtion is pretty much same as the Shougun average 23mpg but the pulling power is far geater from the jeep
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and Bailey3.0 MERC V6, SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AND GO BUT TRY TO REMEMBER YOU HAVE A LARGE TWIN AXLE ON THE BACK BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO FORGET, THE JEEP DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and Swifti tow swift chrisma 620 without any problems at all ,had a few 4x4 but this is the best by far, around 22 mpg sometimes you forget you got it on the back spot on
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyHave the 3.0ltd CRD Overland towing the Bareclona all over the country and in all seasons (including 6 inches of snow) great vehicle, extremely capable. Average fuel is 22 MPG even with a heavy foot. The Barcelona is a heavy 'van but you cant tell you are towing it with the Jeep. Would recommend and will definitely have another.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and LunarWheel came off Bessacarr whilst on motorway and Jeep kept control avoiding a really bad day! Now have twin axle lunar and towed to south of france doing almost 1900 miles 25mpg there 23mpg on return due to a few bottles of wine! Effortless towing set on cruise control out performed Range Rover Sport with similar rig on mpg and going up the big hills ;-))
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and AvondaleAn amazing car for pulling my van, went to wales & sometimes forgot i had the van on the back, on some of the steeper hills it dropped 1 gear & the revs rose by 500, mpg was around 21 but i did have bikes on the roof so could have been better. being permanant 4 wheel drive keeps the rig in a straight line no snaking at all.
deffinitely would recommend.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and CoachmanJust getting used to the Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD. I am pulling a Coachman 570/6 (2010). After a scary trip cross channel last year I had to change to a car that could pull up the big hills without the fear of burning clutch. For sure I am very comfortable with the combined outfit now and looking forward to the summer Cross Channel family hols. The Jeep has so much in reserve and the balance between van and car is so smooth that I can now concentrate seriously on driving and actually enjoy towing the caravan. Like the review of Russell above I can concur the return of 23 mpg is a good average.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and BessacarrFirst caravan and first time towing. Only been out 5 times but my Jeep pulls effortless maintaining the speed limit even going up steep hills over the Mendips. Feels very safe and secure and economical. Also looks the biz to!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and SterlingI tow a Sterling Elite Searcher with a Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0crd. It takes any stess out of motorway overtaking, with instant power on tap. Its a composed no nonsense tow car with good mpg about 23 towing.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 V8 and AvondaleAmazing tow car so much power it is easy to forget you have a caravan behind even on the steepest of hills.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and CaravanThe Jeep Towing a 1430kg Buccaner Argosy is a match made in heaven been towing for 30 plus years now had Discoverys this is more comfortable, powerful and far more economical
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 TD and Elddisvery poor, plenty of power, unstable at any speed over 50mph auto box does not like the extra weight and overheats badly nice car solo, does not tow a large caravan very well, parts very expensive. 25yrs towing experiance
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and SwiftI tow a Swift Challenger 620 and the Jeep has no problems at all. Have to remind myself that I have a caravan on the back! Average 22mpg.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 and SwiftYou have to remember you are towing a caravan, even when going up hill. Have found when braking the car stops quicker with the caravan on the back, strange? maybe the caravan brakes help! There is also not much difference in the amount of fuel use when towing maybe 1 or 2 mpg less. No problem getting of grass pitches will tow a house if asked.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and BaileyBeen caravanning for a few years now with a variety of outfits. Have to say this is the best yet. Have not experienced any problems at all even in winter on muddy CLs
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and AceI have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Absolutely first class tons of power, stability, control and visibility. Fuel consumption 21 -22 MPG. Big brute of a car that just does what its supposed to and a lot cheaper than other 4x4s, certainly better than the 5series touring BMW I had previously.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 and BuccaneerWill pull forever but the gear ratios are such that you need to tow at 60+ to keep in top gear. 60 is less than 2000 rpm so out of power band, kicks down to third and away you go. You get used to sub 2000 silence so the change down is dramatic. Maybe being picky. Also running on lpg so may loose a bit of low down power. On the good side, will pull a fully laden van to the top of the Eiger...........
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and SwiftTows no trouble. Does not even know it is there unless you look. The outfit is well matched and I am extremely happy towing in the UK and on European roads.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and SwiftBought the Swift Charisma Oct 09, the jeep pulls like a dream. Travelled most of southern England last year using all roads, in all weathers, no problem. A match made in heaven.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 TD and Avondalevery powerful motor tows very very good no sway at comfortable towing speed on motorway 50-60mph even though fitted with ALKO stabilizer ( which i have always used ) excelent combo.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and Sterlingtows 100 times better than our terrano we replaced, our van is actually a twin axle sterling of same weight as above and tows great fuel not to bad considering size of engine would recommend
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 TD and BessacarrThis model Jeep finished production in 2002. The 3.1 TD auto pulls without effort. Inclines are not a problem, overtaking is easy. The vehicle was built to tow and it does exactly that with ease.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and AbbeyTows well, feels a little unsure if you sneak above 50.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyPurchased Jeep and Bailey after a rather cramped and nervous tow to France and back with an '07 Diesel CRV
and Ace Morningstar. In terms of performance the Jeep excels in every area, beats the boy racers at the lights solo and tows 1700kg Bailey with ease - around 18 - 19 mpg towing and 28mpg (at best) solo. With the cruise control set at 60 mph it' all too eay to forget the van is on the back!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and Baileya perfect tow vehicle for the Ranger 620/6 or any other large twin axle van, 18 - 20 MPG and set cruise control to 60 and nothing slows this outfit down. no problem with the auto box gear selection. Perfect
Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.1 SRT and SwiftIts braked towing limit is just 1500kg
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and AbbeyPurchased jeep last august as had to have automatic for medical reasons.Towed abbey 495 through france to murcia region area of spain and back again.We had no problems at all even in bad windy and wet conditions.I think its a very good match.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and FleetwoodSo far so good
Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD and BaileyWhat caravan!!!!! The car was 4 up with a boot full of luggage, the caravan was full of holiday essentials and it had absolutely no problems towing this outfit. I got 19-20 mpg and it pulled like a train, the car is very comfortable and it knows exactly what gear to be in. All in all an excellent combination.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 and ElddisJeep will virtually tow anything with wheels on it, towing uphill is a breeze you are always the first at the top, bags of power, beats a landrover discovery for towing easy....
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.5 TD and AbbeyThe Jeep is a fine well built go anywhere 4x4. Mine has done 90,000 miles and lots of towing on and off road (CL's etc.) It is not the most refined vheicle but is very acceptable and one of the most comfortable and well equiped of its era, reliability is excellent though economy at 28mpg (solo) and 20mpg (towing) is now getting expensive with the high fuel costs, however I have no intentions of changing her yet!
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD and AbbeyI have used the Jeep now for over 4 years and have never had 1 problem. I have travelled x2 each year to France and Spain Average mileage approx 2600 @ an average of arrive 23 mph for the whole of the holiday. l
