An Encompassing Performance

Before diving into the towing capacity of this Jeep SUV, you’ll first want to learn more about the powertrain that equips this vehicle to provide its premium performance. Under the hood, the Compass comes stocked with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that will produce 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. This type of output will arm you with great power and acceleration on the local roadways.

This engine is also mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission that’ll seamlessly distribute this force, evidenced by the impressive EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG the SUV is able to earn. This will go a long way in helping prevent the need for frequent visits to the gas pumps.

Tow Anywhere With the Compass

When properly equipped the engine under the hood enables the Compass to tow up to 2,000 pounds behind it. Using this capacity, you can hitch up your trailer and haul your jet skis to the lake, four wheelers to the mountains, gear to the campsite, or even luggage on a road trip.

The Compass adds even more versatility with the available class-exclusive 4x4 Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. Using this, you’ll be able to adjust for different road and off-road surfaces with available drive modes including:

Using this, your Compass will optimize performance no matter where you have set your destination and what you have in tow behind you.

Space in All Directions

If you run out of towing capacity, the Compass will also delight with impressive interior space. Utilizing the 27.2 cubic feet of interior cargo volume, you’ll be able to store any gear and equipment that is not weatherproof. Plus, you can extend this interior cargo volume to 59.8 cubic feet when folding down the rear seats via the standard 60/40-folding functionality.

Utilizing this feature, you can fold down one, two, or even all three rear seats to create the ideal configuration for storing cargo as well as seating passengers.
