There’s also the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which truly has no comparison in the SUV world.The Trackhawk is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 and outputs 707 horsepower and 645 lb-of torque.
With its Trail Rated® badge, only the Jeep Grand Cherokee can handle the off-road challenges North Myrtle Beach drivers will throw at it. Built with off-roading in mind, the Grand Cherokee can ford up to 20 inches of water in case you need to cross streams or creeks, and comes with off-roading suspension features, like the self-leveling Quadra-Lift air suspension.
The 2020 Ford Explorer’s Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™ includes features like Hill Descent Control™ and AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™. Still, with available Jeep features like the Quadra-Trac II low-range gearing, electronic rear differential, adjustable air suspension, and underbody skid plates, not to mention a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds, the Grand Cherokee is the off-road king.
The Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee both come with fantastic infotainment systems, but the Jeep Uconnect® system offers more than the Ford SYNC® system out of the gate. With a standard Uconnect® 4 7-inch touchscreen on the Grand Cherokee Laredo base trim level, which is equipped with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ functionality, you’ll feel completely connected to your smart devices and the outside work.
FordPass™ gives Surfside Beach drivers the ability to connect to the world wide web with a Wi-Fi Hotspot, and SYNC® 3 does offer smartphone connectivity. But Ford requires drivers to upgrade to higher priced packages for more high-tech features.
