EPA estimates for new vehicles from fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE), data retrieved November 12, 2026. Your mileage will vary with how and where you drive. EPA data on this site starts with the 2010 model year.

Gas tank size and range

Range below is the tank size times the EPA combined rating, so treat it as a best case; towing, roof boxes, and winter driving cut it. The 4xe has a smaller 19-gallon tank, but it also covers short trips on battery power, which the EPA gas figure leaves out. To cost out a trip, use the trip gas cost calculator.

Grand Cherokee tire size and pressure

Tire size depends on the trim: on recent models, a Laredo rides on 17- or 18-inch tires, a Limited or Trailhawk on 18-inch, an Overland or Summit on 20-inch, and a Summit Reserve can have 21-inch. Jeep’s manuals do not print one pressure; it is on the tire placard on the driver’s door frame, set for your original tires. If the warning light comes on, see tire pressure light.

Grand Cherokee towing capacity

The rating depends on the engine, the drive, and on some years the cooling package:

  • 3.6 V6: 5,000 lb on 2011–2013 models. On later WK2 models, 6,200 lb with the heavy-duty engine cooling option, and 3,500 lb with standard cooling on 2017–2021. On the WL, 6,200 lb.
  • 5.7 V8 and EcoDiesel: 7,200 lb with 4x4, 7,400 lb with rear-wheel drive (WK and WK2); 7,200 lb on the WL.
  • 4xe: 6,000 lb. SRT and Trackhawk: 7,200 lb.
  • 2008–2010 3.7 V6: 3,500 lb.

Your exact rating is in the towing table of your manual. Frequent towing moves the transmission and transfer case fluids to the severe schedule: Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule.

  • WL (2021–2026) (2021–2026): up to 7,200 lb25
  • WK2 (2013–2021) (2013–2021): up to 7,400 lb13
  • WK2 (2011–2012) (2011–2012): up to 7,400 lb6
  • WK (2008–2010) (2008–2010): up to 7,400 lb1

Recalls: check by VIN

Recalls depend on the exact vehicle, not just the year. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see any open recalls on your Grand Cherokee. The VIN is at the lower driver’s-side corner of the windshield and on your registration. A Jeep dealer does recall repairs for free.

What to record in your log

  • Each fill-up: date, odometer, gallons, and grade. Two full fill-ups in a row give your real MPG; the MPG calculator does the math. Towing trips belong in a separate note, since they pull the average down.
  • On a 4xe, charging sessions too, or the gas MPG will look better than the real cost per mile.
  • Each oil change: date and odometer. The indicator resets and keeps no history.
  • Towing weight and distance, which decide whether you follow the severe schedule.

A car maintenance log keeps this in one place. More on Jeep service: Jeep maintenance schedule.

FAQ

What is the gas mileage of a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The EPA rates the 2026 Grand Cherokee at 22 mpg combined with the 3.6 V6 and 22 to 23 mpg with the 2.0 Hurricane turbo. The 2022–2024 5.7 V8 is rated 17 mpg and the 4xe 23 mpg on gas.

How big is the Jeep Grand Cherokee gas tank?

23 gallons on 2021 and later gas models and 19 gallons on the 4xe. A 2017–2021 WK2 holds 24.6 gallons, a 2013–2016 25 gallons, and a 2008–2010 WK 21 gallons, according to Jeep’s manuals.

How much can a Jeep Grand Cherokee tow?

Up to 7,400 lb with the 5.7 V8 or EcoDiesel and rear-wheel drive on 2008–2021 models, and up to 7,200 lb on the WL with the 5.7. The 3.6 V6 tows up to 6,200 lb.

Does the Grand Cherokee need premium gas?

Only the SRT8, SRT, and Trackhawk. The 3.6 V6 and the 2.0 turbo run on 87 octane, though the manual says 91 lets the 2.0 reach its best performance. For the 5.7 Hemi, Jeep says 87 is acceptable and 89 is recommended. More: premium vs regular gas.
