Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and Ford Explorer can provide quality performance. But if you are looking for flexibility, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L can be your answer.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L comes standard with a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with 290 horsepower. You can also choose the available 5.7L HEMI® V8, which gets 357 horsepower.
The extra power produces more capability. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is able to tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. Compare that to the Ford Explorer, which only gets 5,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L also offers available adaptive suspension and multiple 4×4 systems, allowing you to be prepared for different road conditions and to feel confident in your vehicle’s ability.
The inside of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is all about comfort. It offers room for up to seven passengers and provides 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seating. You can also fold down the rear seating to expand to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
The Ford Explorer offers slightly less in cargo space. With all seating upright, you get 16.3 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L also offers high-quality materials and different amenities. The available 19-speaker McIntosh® premium audio system can help you enjoy your favorite music with crystal-clear sound. The Uconnect® 5 system with 10.1-inch touchscreen also provides wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The available interactive front passenger screen also gives your co-pilot a chance to enjoy media and entertainment or help with navigation.
The Ford offers plenty of technology in its own right, including the Ford SYNC® system, but lacks some of these additional features.
Safety is a top priority as well, especially for families. When you choose a ride, you want to keep that in mind. Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and Ford Explorer do that.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers available safety features like blind spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and adaptive cruise control. You can also utilize the available digital rearview mirror, head-up display, and Jeep’s available Quadra-Drive® II system for added traction on different terrain.
Jeep’s Uconnect® Guardian system also provides the ability to access important resources and information, such as emergency services, vehicle health updates, and remote vehicle controls from your phone.
The Ford Explorer offers the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ system, including many features such as lane centering and available hands-free highway driving. But add in the off-road features and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L provides more safety and practicality.
