Frequently Asked Questions About Jeep and Dodge SUVs
Which Jeep or Dodge SUV can tow the most?
The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers the greatest maximum towing capacity among current Jeep and Dodge SUVs. A properly equipped model can tow up to 10,000 pounds. The Dodge Durango remains a strong alternative, with select configurations offering substantial towing capability. Actual limits depend on the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, installed equipment, passengers, and cargo.
Do any Jeep SUVs have third-row seating?
Yes. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers three rows and seating for up to seven passengers. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer provides three-row seating for up to eight, depending on the second-row configuration. Compare legroom and cargo space if adults will regularly use the third row.
Why do Jeeps have rubber ducks?
Jeep ducking is a community tradition that began in 2020. One Jeep owner placed a rubber duck on another Jeep as a small act of kindness. The idea spread through the Jeep community, and owners now leave ducks with positive notes to recognize vehicles they enjoy. Participation is optional and is not an official ownership requirement.
Which Jeep or Dodge models get the highest miles per gallon?
For a hybrid option, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee leads with an estimated 37 mpg combined and does not need to be plugged in. Among gasoline-only Jeep SUVs, the 2026 Jeep Compass achieves an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. Mileage varies with configuration, weather, traffic, maintenance, and driving habits.
What is the best Jeep for going off-road?
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is generally the strongest choice for dedicated off-road driving. It offers specialized four-wheel-drive hardware, locking differentials, low-range gearing, protective equipment, and substantial ground clearance. The Wrangler Rubicon is designed for demanding trails, although the best model still depends on the terrain, desired comfort, passenger needs, and budget.
