In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Jeep Cherokee for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Cherokee has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

Powertrain
The Jeep Cherokee has much lower torque than the Jeep Wrangler, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
