Explorer or Grand Cherokee: Off-Road Capabilities

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee has truly legendary off-road capabilities, courtesy of the Trail Rated® Tough badge. But did you know even the base model offers these surprising features?

• Jeep® Brand 4×4 system for better traction on Champaign roads
• Engine options all the way up to 707 hp with the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk® Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine
• Protected and specially sealed to handle a depth of up to 20 inches of water
• Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System that adapts to the path you’re on and the climate conditions you’re in

The Explorer offers its own version of a four-wheel drive system, the Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™, which includes Hill Descent Control ™, a 180-degree camera with split-view and washer, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control ™, and LED Headlamps with Auto High Beams. But in order to get more of the features that are already standard in the Jeep, you’ll need to upgrade to the available Class II Trailer Tow Package.

Explorer or Grand Cherokee: Interior Features

Uconnect® systems in the Grand Cherokee interior help keep you connected safely by giving you the information you need, and the ability to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. You can also find Uconnect® in many of the used Jeep Cherokee and used Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ support easy smartphone integration, while a premium sound system from Harman Kardon® gives passengers the ultimate concert-like music experience. And while the Explorer has FordPass™ Connect with a Wi-Fi Hotspot and SYNC® 3 standard, more high-tech features to enhance your drive will require an upgrade to the available Ford Safe and Smart™ Package.
