@maxthehulk "7" I thought i was the only one that required "funny" and exciting vehicles. The "funnier" the better in my opinion...... and i have noticed that driving a land cruiser gets u laughed at more than a grand cherokee. so chalk up one in the win column for a "funny" land cruiser. I just kiddin with ya *Max the Hulk* both vehicles are fine :)
YouTube find: Jeep Promo San Diego Indie Pop 4 man band uses 4 Jeeps.See their "quasi" commercial for Jeeps on YouTube. Watch at Pullman Standard Jeep commercial.
It looks like a crossover. Jeep did away with the 4.0 inline 6cyl because it was too reliable. They want you to have to buy parts or a new jeep. They have pussyed the jeeps all down. my cadillac could drive over this shit. so gay
@PoopFartShitStain Jeep is appealing to a wider customer base. Most people don't know the difference between a straight 6 and a V6. Everyone is using a V6, and Jeep has to follow suit in order to compete. I'm not saying the V6 is necessarily better- we had a 96 Laredo with the straight 6, and it was bulletproof.
I don't think they've pussied it down. As I said in my other comment, there's a natural evolution of SUVs, and Jeep's in line with other manufacturers. This Jeep seems very capable.
@speedvaxer It is not, this is a promotional video so you have to realize that they are not going to do anything challenging with this jeep. Anyone who knows anything about engines would prefer the old 4.0L inline six. They are not following suit, they are pussying the thing down. They don't want to have a bulletproof engine, they want you to service it at a jeep dealer to keep the money rolling- this is Chrysler and don't ever forget that. They will ruin the jeep name.
@PoopFartShitStain Yes, you're right. Many would prefer the inline 6. However, I wasn't addressing "anyone who knows anything about engines", which I assume refers to more knowledgeable car enthusiasts. I'm looking at Jeep's decisions in terms of their ENTIRE customer base.
@PoopFartShitStain If you look at other manufacturers, we can contend that SUVs in general over the past 30-40 years have been "pussied down" as you claim. And yes, of course manufacturers want you to continue servicing your car- that is after all where a lot of the revenue flow is derived from. What's your point, then? Of course I'd rather go off roading in a 94 over this new 2011 one, but this new "pussied down" GC is following the natural progression of the automobile.
@PoopFartShitStain Haha. Please go through my comments again. I agree that this has been "pussied down", but I try to give a reasonable explanation, rather than just outright denouncing this Jeep for being worse.
How am I trolling? This is a healthy conversation and in no way am I trying to attack you.
@PoopFartShitStain Well we're arguing now I suppose. But earlier we weren't arguing- I was just offering my opinion while trying to explain an assertion you made. I never tried to shoot down your ideas or dispute them. Arguing implies some conflict of opinions, and the topic of SUVs didnt bring up any conflict between us.
I didn't know that offering opinions and being friendly about them is now considered trolling...
@PoopFartShitStain Haha dude you really don't understand do you. Whatever this argument is going nowhere. I guess since I watch youtube videos and post comments, I don't have a life, so I'm going to go find one somewhere.
@JamDecks i have a 96 jeep grand cherokee i know what u mean the new jeep has a new radical style but..... the frount looks like a jeep but the back tail lights....not soo much but when i see the new jeep roll down the street it looks dam sexy..=]
@JamDecks I have an 01 Laredo, and I think this is the natural evolution in terms of SUB styling. All SUVs are starting to look softer. Look at the new Explorer vs. the original, and this 2011 vs. a 94.
Looks like Chrysler did a great job on this one. I hope it's a hit for them and they sell a million of them. I own a first generation JGC [a 1996 model] and while it's primitive compared to this new version, it's still a good reliable vehicle that can take me just about anywhere. Maintain a Jeep well and it won't let you down.
Somebody here said that the Grand Cherokee is not as capable as the Range Rover. Well news Flash...if it wasn't for the Jeep, there wouldn't be Land Rover. Land Rover was inspired by Jeep,plus Jeep has been there,don't that! And for those to say that the Jeep can't do what the Land Rover,Ranger Rover does, probably never drove a Jeep. Both are great suvs, but for value, I would rather go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
@datkoolbrutha that may be true...but in the same respects..america invented cars...but they are have been surpassed...much like jeep and land rover....but 2 be fair...land rover cost alot more...but now jeeps have started copying land rover with the terrain system.
@rsxzx6r I look at it like this, all car companies copy off one another. That's what makes the auto industry interesting. Just like everyone has been trying to copy the performance and handling of the BMW 3 series. And plenty have gotten close or surpassed BMW. But when that happens they come back with something better, and have everyone scrampling back to try again.
look a base priced land rover is at least $20,000 more the the top of the line cherokee. now you give me the jeep and $20,000 to put into the jeep and see what vehicle is more capable or more likely the one you would want then
i have a 95 cherokee sport that does 0-60 in the low 5's with 109,000 miles. my mercury cougar 400 v8 has (well had, untill i seized the engine) 475,381.9 miles, WITHOUT being rebuilt. it had the oil changed and a tune-up every 10,000 miles and was garage kept. it still ran strong but the bad con rod bearings seized up, still had good compression and still had a lot of power.
I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee that's at 210,000 miles and still going. In fact I just put a little over 100 miles on it last night. It's probably been through more shit than most land rovers. Actually I have yet to even see a land rover in my neck of the woods, probably because they cost too much to ram around in dirt road country. The most popular vehicle where I live are used Grand Cherokees.. Don't go on a jeep vid to argue that LRs are because most vehicles have their upsides.
the range rover breaks your wallet dude, NOT the grand cherokee. think for a second. And with with the on and off road options, with the functionality it brings to the table is something range rover does not.
@IROCwarriorAMC88 Alright,but what does that have anything to do with how the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is better then Land Rovers.Land Rover has been making SUVs for over 60 years has well,and the Range Rover has been around since the 1970s,while the Grand Cherokee has only been around since 1994.
@IROCwarriorAMC88 Any SUV that uses a full unibody contrustion is a Crossover,and the new 2011 Grand Cherokee uses a unibody contrustion,just like the Range Rover.The previous generations used a partial unibody contrustion,like the Discovery and the Range Rover Sport.Also how could the Jeep Grand Cherokee possibly be more capible then a Range Rover when it has less ground clearance,a lower towing capacity,a less advanced traction control system,and no rear locking differential?
@IROCwarriorAMC88 Well the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a Crossover SUV,like the Range Rover.If all you wanted was off road ability you would buy a Wrangler or a Denfender.You pay more for a Land Rover because you get more luxury.And as for capiblity any off road expert will tell you that Suv with locking axles will do better off road,Land Rover offers them,the Grand Cherokee does not and never has.Also Jeep Grand Cherokees have horrible resale value,the Wrangler is the one that holds it value.
@rangerover06sc I had 05 grand cherokee with hemi and QDII. I am part of large club and we took few of those in water and mud. Its front and rear elsd works great.
I Agree that landrover has much nicer interior but i dont like the exterior od LR. Both of those brands work good on and off road , i guess every brand has its own customers. i preffer Grand cheroke , You Land Rover.
New GCH has adjustable suspension like LR but has only on ELSD , but for the money i would not buy anything else
@Matilibic- Quote "Those guys just don't get it!!!... Fck quadro-trac 1 quadro-trac2 quadro-drive2 who gives a shit? . Who gives a s*hit for torque, terrain capabilities, tow capabilities."
Well you see people like I give a BIG S*hit about torque, terrain capabilities and tow capabilities. You may like being bored everyday of your life. But not everyone does. its more than (point A-B) its also about D.
Sooo really you dont get it..... "Its a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand."
Really want to drive an Overland w the Hemi.. Even if I love the thing I just dont see myself buying one in it's 1st year of production.. I got a '99 Ltd when they first came out and it had tons of problems.. The worst being rear end failure. It might strike someone crazy to think I would go from a 100 series LC "down" to a GC but Im not brand blind. If the new GC is a good vehicle and I like it i wont hesitate getting one. The interior looks quite nice and overall looks 2 b very enticing.
hey dumbfuck if you want a car like this then your not going to get good gas mileage, it gets better then the bmw x5 which it compares to and does awesome off road. Also if you want your fuel efficiency it will suck offroad. So go buy a damn prius hybrid that gets like 40+ mpg idiot
@bballplaya123678 you're the dumb fuck, how are you gonna sit hear and tell the guy that the X5 is good off road... yeah, more like rural dirt roads in Georgia! The X5 was designed for on road mannerism not off road expertise.
Somebody help me! I can't seem to yell loud enough to our US Carmaker's ears.....
"MAKE FUEL EFFICIENT CAAAAAAARRRRSSSSSS"
How stupid you could be? Those guys just don't get it!!!... Fck quadro-trac 1 quadro-trac2 quadro-drive2 who gives a shit? . Who gives a s*hit for torque, terrain capabilities, tow capabilities. Gas is gonna be $5-6-7/gallon, every politicians yelling "we need to get off oil" and you make a brand new redesigned car, no hybrid, 15mile/gallon no gas savings.
@IROCwarriorAMC88. Well Said, Jeeps Are King Of Off Roading. other 4x4s are just knock offs. The U.S Army in ( 1942 i do believe ) Paid Ford to Make a 4x4 for them and they came Up with Jeep the First TRUE 4x4. it look ford 2 year to Finally come up with a 4x4. The Jeeps name was General purpose or GP but the Soldiers named it Jeep. this is a little history of Jeep but if you want to know more just look up WW2 Jeeps.
This car has the frame and suspension of a Mercedes M class, the drive shift of a Land Rover, and it has the motor of a Jeep... I like it.
I was going to buy an Explorer, but since they've finished totally emasculating that once great Ford by making it a FWD 4 cylinder crossover, I'm thinking of getting this Grand Cherokee. Too bad it only has 5 speeds though.
In 84 Land Rover was the first car manufacturer in the world to add the benfits of air suspension to a 4x4.You want a real suv check into the lr4 why pay $40,000 for only a jeep when you could have something you would love to be seen in.I love my land rover!!
@mrlandroverdiscovery. Well Jeep Builders Look at Whats the Best way to Make the Best SUV and Best 4x4 More Capable. And the Builders of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Have Done a Great Job. I would Buy this Jeep in a Heart Beat. And Speaking of People Copying, I do believe Land Rover Copied Jeep because Jeep Was the FIRST 4x4 and Jeep is Trail Rated. Is Land rover trail Rated NO.
@WedidLandONtheMOON ---Land Rover dosen't need to be trail rated the trail rated logo is just a sales campaign it dosen't mean anything.That jeep dosn't even look like it would do well off road. Look at the LR Defender it has as much ground clearence as a Hummer H1 can ford 3ft of water stock and it knocks out anything in it's class. But Land Rover did copy off Jeep once because they didn't sell Jeeps in Britain so he saw a new market. Jeeps are more reliable and cheaper to get parts for.
@WedidLandONtheMOON Jeep copyed off LR on everything on the new model hdc, sunroof's, air sus, steped roof ,off road dial and it took the looks from the Land Rover . Jeeps are good but if You want a true 4x4 go with a Defender.
@mrlandroverdiscovery. The Front End Looks Like Ford Edge, the front lights look like MERCEDES head lights, the Side looks like A Jeep and the back looks like a Dodge Journey. This Jeep Does not Even Look like a Land Rover. Land Rovers are Boxes on Wheels that Cost a Shit load of money. No Defenders are Not True 4x4, are Defenders TRAIL RATED NO. Jeeps Are. Jeeps Are And Will always be the Best 4x4. Talk to Any Expect of Off roading, and ask him Whats the Best 4x4, he will say Jeeps are.
@maximus10463 ..... And you can kiss my Land Cruiser's asses !!!! Actually tho, the 2010 4Runner are quite nice .. Cant beat Toyota 4X's ... !!! LOL : )
Jeep just copyed of Land Rover big time they had that for 5 years I thought it was trade marked called terrain response.Land Rover also had a saying as slow as possable as fast as necessary no it's becoming Jeeps new saying.Land Rover made the discovery in 89 which had a steped roof which is now on the commander. And in 1948 Land Rover was the first suv to have 2 sunroof's which almost every car today now has.
Blah blah boah, what the fuck are you talking about dude ?? Quadra what? Hell I'm an engineer and I even I'm fucking dozing off! It's like a fucking space shuttle, who the hell is going to sit and choose all those damn options? Only some anal freak!
What made Jeep great back in the day when it was Willy's Jeep was that it was a car that you could get in and drive over anything without all this BS. Air Conditioning was the wind in your hair and suspension was leaf springs! That is 100 times fun
No one has driven it yet so we don't know what it will do. I will say that when the redesigned the wrangler I was saying that it was gonna be junk, I mean I thought it was awful to even have power windows on a Wrangler. But come to find out the 07 and up wrangler has been put to the test on the trail and people say its great. So lets get some mud on the tires before we discount it
you guys wanna make a real jeep... locker's front and rear and one i can wash with the garden hose inside and out!! these guys are building jeeps for taking your kid's to soccer games... i think that's what mini van's are for.
@rumswigger They did that with the Wrangler unlimited, but people bitched about how expensive it was, how it rode terrible, and how little standard features it had.
@xxMafia101 lol give me a rubicon with vinal seats and i'll be happy, none of this cloth bs. and maybe dropp in a V8, and the unlimited has too long of a wheel base, just looks funny to me
everyone is talking about they feel this new GC doesn't have any balls, but i think it's got plenty. they've just make it a more flexible and capable vehicle. honestly, they needed to make their flagship product this way. i'm not going to say it's a hardcore off-roader, i think i pwns a Range Rover. I'm sure they are going to hold on to the rumble and tumble status with their other products, but this one has to do better in its intended market. that's just facts
It sure is too bad that the Grand Cherokee has been neutered with independent suspension. If I wanted an independent front & rear Crossover, I would shop for an IFS/IRS Crossover. If I needed a durable off-road 4x4 with a proper set of solid axles front and rear, I would shop for a Jeep.
To whom is Jeep trying to appeal with this?
I want to replace my 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, but this new G.C. is NOT an adequate replacement. I will NOT buy a Jeep without solid axles.
@ndtubedude15 dude chill...I don't have a Rubicon. But I'd like to be able to buy a Rubicon Trail-capable Grand Cherokee to replace my Rubicon Trail-capable 1998 Grand Cherokee. However, the downgrades to the new G.C. have rendered it incapable of making it through this trail (or most other mountain trails) more than once without major body and chassis damage.
Sure, I could buy a Wrangler instead. But that's my point: The G.C. used to be a Jeep. Now it's just another impotent mallcrawler.
... So it sounds neat... But only 11" of ground clearance???
I could not imagine how much it would cost to lift this thing. Honestly I am really sad about this jeep. I drive a 93ZJ with 21" of ground clearance and still wish I could be taller. Also as stated earlier, with all these new gadgets and gizmos there is no way you are going to be able to break something and simply fix it on the trail.
I know that jeep has always wanted this vehicle to be a happy little grocery getter. but really??
Can we get a SIMPLE, Wranglerbased, SUV again? All the gee-whiz crap really drives up the cost and complexity of a vehicle. I don't really think you get any gain from it and you certainly can't fix some of this stuff in the field with baling wire, zip ties and duct tape to get you home.
To be a Jeep, don't you NEED the simple, proven engineering that the brand was known for? The past 10 years or so has seen good things happen to the Wrangler and questionable things happen to any other models

The interior looks quite nice and overall looks 2 b very enticing.

hey dumbfuck if you want a car like this then your not going to get good gas mileage, it gets better then the bmw x5 which it compares to and does awesome off road. Also if you want your fuel efficiency it will suck offroad. So go buy a damn prius hybrid that gets like 40+ mpg idiot

@bballplaya123678 you're the dumb fuck, how are you gonna sit hear and tell the guy that the X5 is good off road... yeah, more like rural dirt roads in Georgia! The X5 was designed for on road mannerism not off road expertise.

How stupid you could be? Those guys just don't get it!!!... Fck quadro-trac 1 quadro-trac2 quadro-drive2 who gives a shit? . Who gives a s*hit for torque, terrain capabilities, tow capabilities. Gas is gonna be $5-6-7/gallon, every politicians yelling "we need to get off oil" and you make a brand new redesigned car, no hybrid, 15mile/gallon no gas savings.

@IROCwarriorAMC88. Well Said, Jeeps Are King Of Off Roading. other 4x4s are just knock offs. The U.S Army in ( 1942 i do believe ) Paid Ford to Make a 4x4 for them and they came Up with Jeep the First TRUE 4x4. it look ford 2 year to Finally come up with a 4x4. The Jeeps name was General purpose or GP but the Soldiers named it Jeep. this is a little history of Jeep but if you want to know more just look up WW2 Jeeps.

This car has the frame and suspension of a Mercedes M class, the drive shift of a Land Rover, and it has the motor of a Jeep... I like it.
I was going to buy an Explorer, but since they've finished totally emasculating that once great Ford by making it a FWD 4 cylinder crossover, I'm thinking of getting this Grand Cherokee. Too bad it only has 5 speeds though.

In 84 Land Rover was the first car manufacturer in the world to add the benfits of air suspension to a 4x4.You want a real suv check into the lr4 why pay $40,000 for only a jeep when you could have something you would love to be seen in.I love my land rover!!

@mrlandroverdiscovery. Well Jeep Builders Look at Whats the Best way to Make the Best SUV and Best 4x4 More Capable. And the Builders of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Have Done a Great Job. I would Buy this Jeep in a Heart Beat. And Speaking of People Copying, I do believe Land Rover Copied Jeep because Jeep Was the FIRST 4x4 and Jeep is Trail Rated. Is Land rover trail Rated NO.
WedidLandONtheMOON 1 year ago
@WedidLandONtheMOON ---Land Rover dosen't need to be trail rated the trail rated logo is just a sales campaign it dosen't mean anything.That jeep dosn't even look like it would do well off road. Look at the LR Defender it has as much ground clearence as a Hummer H1 can ford 3ft of water stock and it knocks out anything in it's class. But Land Rover did copy off Jeep once because they didn't sell Jeeps in Britain so he saw a new market. Jeeps are more reliable and cheaper to get parts for.
mrlandroverdiscovery 1 year ago
@WedidLandONtheMOON Jeep copyed off LR on everything on the new model hdc, sunroof's, air sus, steped roof ,off road dial and it took the looks from the Land Rover . Jeeps are good but if You want a true 4x4 go with a Defender.
mrlandroverdiscovery 1 year ago
@mrlandroverdiscovery. The Front End Looks Like Ford Edge, the front lights look like MERCEDES head lights, the Side looks like A Jeep and the back looks like a Dodge Journey. This Jeep Does not Even Look like a Land Rover. Land Rovers are Boxes on Wheels that Cost a Shit load of money. No Defenders are Not True 4x4, are Defenders TRAIL RATED NO. Jeeps Are. Jeeps Are And Will always be the Best 4x4. Talk to Any Expect of Off roading, and ask him Whats the Best 4x4, he will say Jeeps are.

Jeep just copyed of Land Rover big time they had that for 5 years I thought it was trade marked called terrain response.Land Rover also had a saying as slow as possable as fast as necessary no it's becoming Jeeps new saying.Land Rover made the discovery in 89 which had a steped roof which is now on the commander. And in 1948 Land Rover was the first suv to have 2 sunroof's which almost every car today now has.

What made Jeep great back in the day when it was Willy's Jeep was that it was a car that you could get in and drive over anything without all this BS. Air Conditioning was the wind in your hair and suspension was leaf springs! That is 100 times fun

No one has driven it yet so we don't know what it will do. I will say that when the redesigned the wrangler I was saying that it was gonna be junk, I mean I thought it was awful to even have power windows on a Wrangler. But come to find out the 07 and up wrangler has been put to the test on the trail and people say its great. So lets get some mud on the tires before we discount it

everyone is talking about they feel this new GC doesn't have any balls, but i think it's got plenty. they've just make it a more flexible and capable vehicle. honestly, they needed to make their flagship product this way. i'm not going to say it's a hardcore off-roader, i think i pwns a Range Rover. I'm sure they are going to hold on to the rumble and tumble status with their other products, but this one has to do better in its intended market. that's just facts

It sure is too bad that the Grand Cherokee has been neutered with independent suspension. If I wanted an independent front & rear Crossover, I would shop for an IFS/IRS Crossover. If I needed a durable off-road 4x4 with a proper set of solid axles front and rear, I would shop for a Jeep.
To whom is Jeep trying to appeal with this?
I want to replace my 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, but this new G.C. is NOT an adequate replacement. I will NOT buy a Jeep without solid axles.
Ever.

@ndtubedude15 dude chill...I don't have a Rubicon. But I'd like to be able to buy a Rubicon Trail-capable Grand Cherokee to replace my Rubicon Trail-capable 1998 Grand Cherokee. However, the downgrades to the new G.C. have rendered it incapable of making it through this trail (or most other mountain trails) more than once without major body and chassis damage.
Sure, I could buy a Wrangler instead. But that's my point: The G.C. used to be a Jeep. Now it's just another impotent mallcrawler.

I could not imagine how much it would cost to lift this thing. Honestly I am really sad about this jeep. I drive a 93ZJ with 21" of ground clearance and still wish I could be taller. Also as stated earlier, with all these new gadgets and gizmos there is no way you are going to be able to break something and simply fix it on the trail.
I know that jeep has always wanted this vehicle to be a happy little grocery getter. but really??

Can we get a SIMPLE, Wranglerbased, SUV again? All the gee-whiz crap really drives up the cost and complexity of a vehicle. I don't really think you get any gain from it and you certainly can't fix some of this stuff in the field with baling wire, zip ties and duct tape to get you home.
To be a Jeep, don't you NEED the simple, proven engineering that the brand was known for? The past 10 years or so has seen good things happen to the Wrangler and questionable things happen to any other models
