2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overview

The Ford Explorer has always been one of the nicest, family-oriented SUVs in America. So when a model like the 2021 Grand Cherokee makes it look bad by comparison, you realize just how nice the Grand Cherokee is. It's a near impenetrable combination of performance, luxury, and style that even the 2021 Ford Explorer struggles to measure up to in Salina Kansas. Both models have their highs (and a few lows), but just about nothing is competing against the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its 707 horsepower capability and trail rated suspension equipment make it a true leader.

Towing Capacity - Jeep Dealer serving Salina KS

SUVs aren't seen as quite the same workhorses as pickup trucks, but the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2021 Ford Explorer in Salina emphasizes one thing people often overlook about this class of vehicle: towing capacity. The Explorer gets a nice, tidy 5,600 pound towing capacity compared to the outrageous 7,200 pounds of towing capacity that the Grand Cherokee generates. What's this mean for Marshall Motor Company Grand Cherokee buyers? It means you're getting one of the strongest towing machines in the world today, all rolled up in a luxury off-road package.

With so much power and towing capacity, you'd be surprised to learn that the Grand Cherokee also had time left over to become one of the world's most luxurious high-performance SUVs. Stepping inside an Explorer is nice. Stepping inside a Grand Cherokee is an all-out event. Its glass dual-pane panoramic sunroof offers up breathtaking views of the open sky all around the model. An Alpine premium audio system lets you get deep bass and kicking treble in a powerful duo of audio-terrific freedom. Nappa leather-trimmed seating comes in several color packages and is capped off by badged seating with your trim name, such as Summit, Overland, and Trackhawk. The Trackhawk is the most off-road of the models, but it has time left over for Black Laguna leather, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and full Launch Control. You pick the kind of ride you want, and the Trackhawk welcomes you into the interior with a stunning display of luxury.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Mechanical specs

The 2021 Ford Explorer has a nice powertrain range of 300 to 400 horsepower. It's a nice value for the money. And in any other universe, 400 horsepower would be plenty enough to ditch the competition and ride out a winner. However, when it's the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2021 Ford Explorer in Salina, things get murky. That's because the Grand Cherokee gets a massive 293 horsepower to 707 horsepower range. With a base model that's just a tad below the Explorer base, and the capability to range things all the way up to 707 horsepower, the Grand Cherokee is a clear winner here. Off-roading is a favorite pastime in Salina Kansas, too, so
