Jeep Compass
Towing Capacity
Compass variants tow 454-1,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. Checked on braked capacity, ball weight and GCM (Gross Combination Mass), 38 caravans on the site fit that rating.
Start from the caravan instead: pick the van you like, and its page checks it against your car.

GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most a Compass may weigh with the caravan attached. It is a separate limit from braked towing capacity. With the family, the gear and a full tank aboard, a rig can sit inside its towing limit and still be over its GCM. GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the most the Compass itself may weigh loaded, and the caravan's towball download counts toward it.
How we matched these to your Compass
Every caravan below is checked against the Trailhawk / Limited (1,500 kg braked), the highest-rated Compass we list. We compare each caravan's ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and ball weight against that car's limits, using the same rules as our tow calculator.
- Comfortable match - the van sits inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit - inside your towing or ball-weight limit by less than 10%. Watch how you load it.
Some Compass variants tow as little as 454 kg. Pick yours in the table above and every caravan below is rechecked against it.

This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Where we do not hold a published ball weight, we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

Our guides to the numbers on this page.
Check your own car's figures
Published towing figures describe a factory-standard car. A bullbar, a long-range tank or suspension changes can move your real limits. Your Compass's own figures are in its owner's manual. Cars built before July 2021 also carry them on a compliance plate in the door pillar. GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most the loaded car and van may weigh together, and the family and the gear count towards it. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge.

Jeep Compass towing questions
What can a Jeep Compass tow?
Compass variants tow 454-1,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. On the caravan side the figure to work from is ATM, the weight of the van fully loaded. Every van below is checked against your car's braked rating using the maker's published figures. Each one is marked a comfortable match or close to the limit.
What size caravan can a Jeep Compass realistically tow?
Work from each caravan's ATM. Compass variants tow 454-1,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. Leave real margin for water, gear and a loaded boot. A van compared at its empty weight will be heavier once you pack it. Then check the figures against the compliance plate on your own car.
Do all Compass variants tow the same weight?
Compass variants do not all carry the same rating. Braked towing capacity runs from 454 kg on lower variants up to 1,500 kg on the strongest. Each match below says when a heavier caravan needs one of the higher-rated variants.
