Towing Accessories in the Jeep Grand Cherokee

While it’s no lie to say that it’s the engine that influences all the power of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, they aren’t the only ones that are making towing easier for Surfside Beach drivers. The following packages are either standard or optional on your Grand Cherokee, depending on the trim level you select. 

• Hill Descent Control: This makes it easier to tow heavy cargo while traveling at a steady pace by applying the brakes accordingly, based on whether you’re on a steep hill.
• Hill Start Assist: When you release the brake pedal and press the accelerator, this system provides enough force to help you move forward up the hill with ease. This keeps your Grand Cherokee from rolling backward if you disengage the brakes while parked on an uphill incline.
• High-Performance Brembo Brakes: Available for Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk® and SRT® configurations. These systems use two-piece vented rotors, six-piston calipers, and 15-inch front rotors respectively.
• Trailer Sway Control: Improves your SUV’s grip on the road in challenging conditions, which helps to make handling on roadways easier
