Drivers on the lookout for a new SUV have plenty of options, and two of the most popular ones are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango.
New Holland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) created this 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Dodge Durango comparison to help drivers in the New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading, PA, areas decide.

Whichever you choose to drive, you’ll have more than enough room for anyone and anything you want to take with you on your next adventure.
Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Dodge Durango: Towing and Off-Roading
Once you, your family, your kid’s new friend, and all their gear are loaded up, it’s time to set off on your next adventure (even if that is just the carpool lane). For those trips that require a little more excitement, though, it’s important to know how your SUV will fare.

In the 2022 Jeep Cherokee, you’re well-equipped to traverse over the river and through the woods, and anything else that you’ll encounter on the way to grandma’s house. The Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems. In fact, every trim comes standard with all-wheel drive, too. The Jeep also provides 11.3 inches of ground clearance and 24 inches of water fording capability.
In comparison, the Dodge has a maximum ground clearance of 8.1 inches and cannot ford water. However, drivers who need to haul more may prefer the Dodge Durango. Although the Jeep is better equipped for off-roading, the Durango can tow more. The Jeep has a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds, but the Dodge can tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped.
Interior Technology
Once you’re settled in and ready to hit the road, it’s important to make sure you can stay connected for the duration of the trip.
Both the Grand Cherokee and Durango offer the Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, which includes:
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity
- A 10.1-inch center touchscreen display
- Voice-activated commands so you can keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road
For a touch of more luxury, opt for the Grand Cherokee. In addition to the features listed above, it also offers an exclusive Passenger Screen. This 10.0-inch screen, which sits on the dash in front of the front-seat passenger, makes it possible for your co-pilot to update navigation, stream music and shows, and check in on camera views.
Drivers who want to reduce their family’s screen time will prefer the Dodge, which has more than enough infotainment options to stay safe and connected on the road but forgoes the extra features.
