Many factors enable the Renegade to tow, starting with the engines. You can choose from two capable engines, including:
- 1.3L 4-Cylinder Turbo Direct Injection engine, which produces 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque
- 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® engine, producing 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque
The expected gas mileage depends on which drivetrain you select. The following trims offer these EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings:
|
Trim with 4X4 |
MPG |
|
Sport, Jeepster, Latitude, Upland, and Altitude |
21 City/29 Highway MPG |
|
Trailhawk® |
22 City/27 Highway MPG |
As you can see, each trim provides ample fuel economy to get things done and remain efficient, which helps when hauling. The 1.3L 4-Cylinder Turbo Direct Injection engine benefits with the assistance of Engine Stop/Start Technology, which maintains fuel efficiency. With the 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® engine, the MultiAir® technology offers plenty of power with less emissions.
Jeep Renegade Towing Capacities
With the proper equipment, the Renegade with 4X4 can tow a maximum of 2,000 pounds. You can also add the Trailer Tow Group, which comes with a Class III Hitch and 4-pin wiring harness.
Trailer Technology
Other systems also help manage your trailer on the road and ensure its safety. When you’re ready to tow, rely on the Trailer Sway Control provided through the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. This system ensures that your trailer remains steady on uneven surfaces. With the Electronic Roll Mitigation and Advanced Brake Assist—also part of ESC—the trailer won’t veer off the path.
Renegade Traction
The Renegade Trailhawk® passed a series of tests and proudly wears the Trail Rated® badge. Badge or no badge, Jeep traction systems keep the Renegade on the straight and narrow, with or without a trailer. Here are a few systems that help this Jeep and your trailer on the roads:
All-Speed Traction Control- Available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System with auto, snow, sand, mud, and the Trailhawk®-exclusive Rock setting
- Available Jeep Active Drive 4X4 system with ability to transition from FWD to 4WD
Along with these systems, you can tow your trailer through any road or weather conditions. Different ground clearances also help the Renegade brush past rocky terrain:
- 4X2 offers ground clearance of 6.7 inches
- 4X4 offers ground clearance of 8 inches
- Trailhawk® trim offers ground clearance of 8.7 inches
Jeep Renegade Safety
For descending steep hills, Hill Descent Control can help take things at a steady pace by automatically applying the brakes. When you’re using a trailer, the available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist can warn you when you start drifting and help get you back on track in a flash.
