Anyone Towing a 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee??

Looking at Jeep Cherokee's, NOT the Grand Cherokee, just the smaller Cherokee. I know only the 4x4 can be towed 4 down. Looking for any comments, pros or cons. Thanks

  • I have had trouble with the Cherokee, as I have posted on other threads:

    The rocking back and forth as a dinghy, the problem icon warning lights, not shifting into 9th gear, etc.

    I have a Latitude with Active Drive II.
  • We bought the 2014 Cherokee Latitude 4WD 6 cylinder with Active Drive II new in September and configured with a blue ox base plate.

    LOVE THE JEEP! It pulls effortlessly, we have over 3K towing so far, with ZERO issues. I also love the way the Cherokee drives and runs.

    Good luck, we are extremely satisfied with our decision.

  • Tows fine - we have towed our 68 times for a total of over 11,000 miles

    Note to tow 4 down you must have the option of Active Drive II transmission - on mine it was $995

    Trailhawk comes with this transmission standard
  • We have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that we tow 4 down. We love it. We had a 2dr. Wrangler that we towed previously. The Wrangler was a fun vehicle and we enjoyed it for several years. But, it wasn't a comfortable daily driver, and after several years we grew tired of it. The Cherokee is a great vehicle for us. Lots of creature comforts and still trail rated to do any two tracking we want to do.
    I personally wouldn't have any different vehicle. We tow with the Roadmaster All-Terrain Sterling and use the Invisibrake.
  • I have a 2015 Cherokee Lattitude 4 wd drive II that we tow 4 wheels down. Great tow vehicle and good everyday car/suv. Averages 21+ mpg combined driving.
