Thanks to its strong powertrain options, you can see how the Grand Cherokee is able to tow larger equipment. Plus, with its high available ground clearance and available 4X4 system, it performs just as well off-road as it does on-road.
While the Ford Explorer does offer an available 4WD system, it isn’t tuned for off-roading performance like the available Quadra Drive® II system found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This system can send as much engine torque as needed to a single wheel to give this Jeep SUV excellent traction over any terrain.
The 2021 Grand Cherokee also offers a handful of trim levels, and each have their own unique style. Enjoy the luxury in the Overland with its Nappa leather-trimmed seating and CommandView® Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof or the Summit with its available Laguna leather seats, diamond pattern seat bolsters, and open-pore wood interior. Other unique options include:
-The sporty SRT with its flat-bottom steering wheel and available red seatbelts.
-The rugged Trailhawk with its distinctive seats with bolster support, sueded inserts, and red stitching.
-The refined High Altitude with its black Nappa leather-trimmed seats with black accent stitching.
With just five trim levels, the Ford Explorer has limited options in comparison. While there are available leather seats with the 2021 Explorer, none offer the same stitching options and color combinations as you will find with the 2021 Grand Cherokee.
