Peformance
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes standard with a refined 293-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine, while the Ford Explorer boasts a slightly more powerful 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine. However, the Grand Cherokee's available 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine transforms it into a towing powerhouse. When properly equipped, it can haul up to 7,200 pounds, compared to the Ford Explorer's maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds with its optional turbocharged V-6 engine and Class IV Trailer Tow Package.
Off-Road Capabilties & Saftey Features
The Grand Cherokee maintains the Jeep family's legendary off-road DNA with its advanced four-wheel-drive systems and Selec-Terrain Traction Management System. While the Explorer is capable of off-roading, it can't match the Grand Cherokee's trail-rated prowess and advanced off-road features. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a true off-road champion, conquering steep inclines and rocky terrain, fording water, and traveling through snow.
Regarding safety, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a clear advantage. Some available features include full-speed forward collision warning with active braking, advanced brake assist, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, and parallel and perpendicular park assist. The Explorer offers comparable features, but the Grand Cherokee's list is longer and more comprehensive.
