I have a 2008 Land Rover LR3 and a 2010 Jeep Rubicon and this thing is a joke. My Father in law has one of these. They came to Colorado from Chicago to see the mountains. We took them on some mild trails, my wife and kids took the LR3 and I went with the in-laws in the Jeep as he was inexperienced off road. We found out it has NO axle articulation (feels very tippy) and electronic LSD struggled when the Land Rovers did not. You can't compare this to the Rubicon. I like Jeeps but not this one.
Sadly and almost a year later these beautiful SUV's remain out of reach for most people and families. Up in BC (Canada) a Base Laredo,which has No sun roof,No navigation system, No leather, No heated seats,No blue tooth, and this is the worst one of all.....virtually No off Road ability.... is priced here in BC at a mind Boggling $43,000...with an Interest Rate of 6.9% . Jeep Canada's web site has the Base Laredo MSRP at $37,980 and an interest rate of 1.99%......I have yet to see that in BC.
@nfldude28 That is because the Laredo is the base model. As far as the price goes, American products always cost more in your country due to differences in your dollar and mine. As you should know, our dollar is not very strong these days.
I am contacting you here as I can't find an email address for you.
In a recent "Automobile" article you compared some AWD crossovers and made mention of Subaru's "symmetrical all wheel drive" thinking that was the power distribution arrangement when in fact it is the mechanical drivetrain layout.
Is there not a technical proof reader at your magazine? One of your senior associates made a ridiculous statement in one of his articles - didn't know kerosene from diesel.Very unprofessional.
@bluecove732 Depends on the Trim you get..the Laredo is probally selectable but the Limited and Overland is i believe has the Quadadrive 2 in it which is always in 4WD or AWD however u wanna put it
dumbass Chrysler,, for current grand cherokee they put the door handle bottom of the door,, in order to open it you have to move your knee... How dumb or ignorant the designers.....................................
I was going to get an Explorer, but since they've totally emasculated that once great car into a FWD 4 cyl crossover, I'm going with this Grand Cherokee... I just saw the Limited version today at my local dealership, and despite bailouts and all... I think it's going to be my next car. Good thing too, I've delayed my car purchase for 4 long years waiting for something good in the American market now.
This new Grand Cherokee looks awesome. I hope it is going to be better than previous years. If you go to the review for this from Motor Trend, These 2 videos are the same. The guy from MT says it has lots of steering feedback, and, this guy says it has none. All I have to say is, you should be your own critic and go test drive one. No one can tell how good it is but you. I just watch the videos to get basic info on the vehicles. I love the new look inside and out. Can't wait to try it out.
