- Tru-Lok Electronic Locking Differentials: Front and rear electronic lockers that lock power evenly across wheels to maintain forward momentum over uneven obstacles.
- Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect: Allows front wheels to drop and compress independently for maximum suspension articulation on technical terrain.

How Does the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Compare to the Ford Explorer?
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee outperforms the Ford Explorer in off-road capability, interior luxury options, and maximum towing capacity, while the Explorer emphasizes standard three-row seating. While the standard Ford Explorer uses a unibody crossover chassis tuned primarily for highway driving, the Grand Cherokee offers available true 4x4 systems with two-speed transfer cases and height-adjustable air suspension.
When comparing key performance and capability metrics, the differences between these two popular mid-size SUVs become clear:
- Maximum Towing Capacity: The Jeep Grand Cherokee hauls up to 6,200 lbs when properly equipped, out-towing the standard Ford Explorer maximum rating of 5,000 lbs.
- Infotainment & Cabin Tech: Jeep's available 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 system paired with an available passenger screen and 19-speaker McIntosh sound system provides a more premium tech environment than the Explorer's standard infotainment layout.
- All-Terrain Systems: The Grand Cherokee offers specialized terrain management systems and available rear electronic limited-slip differentials, whereas the Explorer relies on light-duty electronic terrain modes.
- Seating Configurations: The standard Grand Cherokee is a dedicated two-row SUV offering generous rear legroom and about 38 cubic feet of cargo space behind row two, though buyers needing third-row seating can opt for the elongated Grand Cherokee L.
For drivers who prioritize rugged capability, high-end cabin materials, and heavy trailer towing, the Grand Cherokee delivers a more versatile overall ownership experience.
What Is the Electric Driving Range and Battery Performance of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid delivers an EPA-estimated 25 miles of all-electric driving range and a total combined gas-electric range of up to 470 miles. Combining a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a high-voltage electric motor and a 17.3-kWh battery pack, the 4xe powertrain generates a combined 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of instant torque for swift highway acceleration and silent trail crawling.
In everyday driving, commuters can run short daily errands using pure electric power without consuming gasoline. Driver-selectable E Selec modes allow you to customize power distribution on the fly:
- Hybrid Mode: Combines torque from both the electric motor and gas engine for maximum power and efficiency.
- Electric Mode: Operates exclusively on battery power until the charge drops to a minimum threshold or the driver heavily depresses the accelerator.
- eSave Mode: Reserves battery charge for later use, relying on the 2.0L engine while driving on high-speed highways.
Local drivers operating vehicles during central Pennsylvania winters should account for seasonal temperature drops. Cold freezing weather can temporarily reduce real-world battery range by 15% to 30% due to cabin heating demands and battery chemistry limits. Garaging your vehicle overnight and utilizing pre-conditioning while plugged into a Level 2 charger helps maximize available electric driving range before setting off.

Common Buyer Questions About Shopping at Hawkins CDJR
Q: Do I need to schedule an appointment in advance to test drive a Jeep at Hawkins CDJR?
Scheduling a VIP test drive at Hawkins CDJR guarantees your chosen vehicle is prepped and a sales expert is on hand to provide personalized assistance.
Q: What documents should I bring when applying for auto financing at the dealership?
To process an auto loan application efficiently, buyers should bring a valid state driver's license, proof of current auto insurance, recent pay stubs or proof of steady income, proof of residence such as a utility bill, and the title or registration for any trade-in vehicle.
Q: How do 2-door and 4-door Jeep Wrangler towing capacities compare?
Two-door Jeep Wrangler models offer a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs due to their shorter wheelbase, whereas properly equipped four-door models (including Rubicon trims) can tow up to 5,000 lbs, providing extra capability for pulling heavier utility trailers or boats.
Q: Is four-wheel drive standard across all Jeep Grand Cherokee trims?
Rear-wheel drive comes standard on entry-level two-row Grand Cherokee models like the Laredo and Limited, with four-wheel drive available as a factory option. Higher-tier trims, including the Limited Reserve, Summit, and 85th Anniversary Edition, feature standard all-wheel-drive systems engineered for all-weather traction.
Q: Does cold winter weather affect the electric driving range of plug-in hybrid Jeep models?
