Over the last few years, the market for compact crossovers has exploded across Canada. Offering more space for families and better off-roading capabilities than sedans, these models have gained rapid popularity.
Â
With so many to choose from, you might be wondering which small SUV has the most power. Pitting the 2021 Jeep Cherokee against the 2021 Chevy Equinox, you can see which vehicle reigns supreme.
Â
First, the Cherokee can be fitted with three different engines including a robust V6. Meanwhile, the Equinox is only available with two motors, and both are 4-cylinder units. Let’s look at the numbers for the standards.
Â
You will find a 2.4-litre TigerShark MultiAir Inline-4 under the hood of the Cherokee. It generates 180 hp and has a maximum towing limit of 907 kg (2,000 lbs). On the other hand, the Equinox features a tiny 1.5-litre 4-cylinder that pushes out 170 hp and can only haul up to 680 kg (1,500 lbs).

What makes the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee such a popular model is its plethora of options. From various packages to a slew of robust powertrains, this vehicle can be customized to suit your exact driving needs.
Â
Comparing it to the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, you will find many differences in terms of capability. The Grand Cherokee offers four unique engines. Let’s take a closer look at the first available units after standard motor.
Â
Rumbling underneath the hood of the Jeep Trailhawk, Overland, High Altitude, and Summit trims is a 5.7-litre HEMI V8. Producing a staggering 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, it can haul up to 3,265 (7,200 lbs).
Â
As for the Santa Fe Limited and Calligraphy models, they use a turbocharged 2.5-litre 4-cylinder. Generating 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, it can only manage a load weighing up to 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs).

When it comes to mid-size SUVs, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a top-ranking model that is hard to compete against. In terms of power and overall performance, other vehicles like the 2021 GMC Terrain simply can’t stand up to this robust beast.
Â
Popping the hood of the Grand Cherokee, you will find one of four engine options that depend on which trim you choose. For the sake of fairness, this showdown will cover the base units only.
Â
The standard motor is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 that includes stop/start technology. Pumping out 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, it is fitted with the Quadra Trac I 4x4 System for an enhanced off-roading experience. With a towing limit of 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs), you can pull a trailer with ease.
Â
On the other hand, the entry-level GMC Terrain uses a turbocharged 1.5-litre 4-cylinder that makes 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. Paired with FWD, you can haul up to 680 kg (1,500 lbs). These numbers are far below those of the Grand Cherokee.

If you have been thinking about buying a heavy-duty pickup for hauling purposes, then you need to compare the 2021 Ram 2500 to the 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD. While these two vehicles share the same class, one is far superior to the other in terms of towing.
Â
The total weight that either model can handle will vary depending on the powertrain, body style, and hitch accessories. However, we can look at the general range of both trucks to give you a better idea of what to expect.
Â
For the Ram 2500, you can pull between 4,771 and 6,822 kg (10,520 and 15,040 lbs). As for the Sierra 2500HD, the maximum is capped at 6,577 kg (14,500 lbs).
Â
While they both offer your choice of gasoline or diesel engines, it is clear which one is more practical for completing hard tasks. Whether you need this robust transport for moving livestock or bringing a full-size RV on a camping trip, the Ram 2500 is the way to go.

There are only a few heavy-duty trucks available on the market these days, and picking the right one can be difficult. In this head-to-head comparison between the 2021 Ram 2500 and the 2021 Silverado 2500HD, you will get to see which one has more to offer in terms of power.
Â
Growling under the hood of the Ram 2500 is a 6.4-litre V8 engine that generates 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and your choice of RWD or 4WD, this beast delivers a stellar performance on the roads of BC.
Â
On the other hand, the Silverado 2500 HD is fitted with a 6.6-litre V8 motor. Pumping out 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, it doesn’t have the gusto that the Ram has. It also comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and RWD, so the capability is at a lower level as well.
