Cargo and Towing for BC Adventures
All Grand Cherokee L trims offer 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs) of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped. Cargo volume ranges from 487 litres behind the third row to 2,395 litres with both rear rows folded.
The power liftgate on Limited and above simplifies loading skis, camping gear, or hockey equipment. Rear load-leveling suspension (included with Trailer Tow Package) maintains ride height when towing boats to Okanagan Lake or hauling family gear to Tofino.
Quadra Systems Explained
Quadra-Trac I (Laredo, Limited):
Single-speed transfer case with automatic torque distribution. Handles snow, ice, and light trails without driver input.
Quadra-Trac II (Overland):
Two-speed transfer case with 4-LO range for steep grades and challenging terrain. Includes Hill-Descent Control for controlled descents on trails or boat ramps.
Quadra-Drive II (Summit):
Adds rear electronic limited-slip differential to Quadra-Trac II foundation. Distributes torque to individual wheels for maximum traction on uneven surfaces or deep snow.
Quadra-Lift Air Suspension (Overland, Summit):
Five height settings adjust ground clearance from 215 mm to 276 mm. The system lowers for easier entry and cargo loading, then raises for trail clearance or highway aerodynamics.
Interior Space and Comfort
The Grand Cherokee L provides 4,505 litres of total interior passenger volume. Second-row legroom measures 1,000 mm, while third-row legroom offers 769 mm—sufficient for adults on shorter trips or children on longer journeys.
Manual tip-and-slide second-row seats allow access to the third row without removing child seats. Three-zone climate control on all trims ensures passengers in all three rows maintain comfortable temperatures during BC winters.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology
Standard safety features across all Grand Cherokee L trims include Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, Active Lane Management, Blind-Spot Monitoring, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go.
Advanced ProTech packages (available on higher trims) add Park-Sense Front and Rear Park Assist, 360-degree Surround View Camera, and Traffic Sign Recognition. These systems reduce stress during tight parking situations in downtown Vancouver or navigating congested Lower Mainland highways.
