Wow i think its beautiful! Ever since my dad bought his 92 Grand Cherokee i;ve been a fan. It had 240,000 miles and a straight six and it mobbed harder than our lifted duramax. I immediately went out and bought a 98 Grand Cherokee limited 5.9 AWD and it has been, and always will be amazing. I love them for what they are. Perfect blend of Ruggedness, luxury, and economy. Perfect DD. I wasnt much of a fan of the next two generations. I really wanted an SRT8 for a while, but you lose the whole off raod apppeal which is half of my reasoning so it was out. Plus for $60,000 i could find a used Chayenne s twin turbo or range rover. Anyway, this new one look ssweet and uses Jeeps newest v6 which has 280hp and improved gas mileage! Even though i'll go for an 8 cylinder, thats exciting to!

ugly just a regular mini van looking truck

Trail Rated

I like the air bag suspension... always looked cool on the rovers

Looks like a Lincoln. I find myself liking each generation of the grand cherokee less than the last.

I actually like this thing. I've always been a fan of Jeep. Sure they have their share of issues, but overall they are pretty solid vehicles.

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone noticed how much the new Honda Pilot is looking like a Jeep Cherokee? Except for the front end, the lines are very similar.

Kinda looks like a Rover, which isn't a bad thing in the SUV world. I've found the uglier I find the car the better it does.

im not impressed for shit with jeeps period

exterior isnt too appealing in my book. at least the interior is a big step up from my dads 99 cherokee.

dads 99 cherokee 4.0 I6, 60k miles, nothing but oil changes and basic maintence, thing runs like a champ.

as far as i'm concerned, they quit making "Jeeps" decades ago...that thing just looks like another chrysler suv with a "jeep-esque" grill.

I know that the Jeep I-6s are some of the most reliable engines in the world, but 10 years and 60k miles is nothing special. In fact, that's incredible LOW mileage. I had a friend with a 9 year old Jeep back in high school that had 220k miles on it and ran like a champ.

I've got a buddy with a 98 with over 200k and it still goes... they'll run forever

my buddys wrangler, idk what year exactly 2000ish, has 150k miles and doesnt miss a beat. and he drivers the piss outta that thing, after 1st gear, he doesnt even need the clutch :lol:

We bought ours with 240,000 and it was original and running like a champ. Always did until me brother had a seixure driving and totaled it. I was very impressed and thats why ill always consider their future products. Most capable off roading vehicle ive ever driven. Well, my dad has a Range but its an HRSE sport so i feel guilty with it in the mud

I am perfectly happy with my 04 Grand Cherokee's engine and suspension.....but each time it shifts and each time I mess with any climate controls, I am unlovingly reminded that its still a Chrysler product.

I agree, I think the last time a solid axle was put in a non-Wrangler Jeep it was the 04 Grand Cherokee. Cherokee stopped in 01 and I don't believe any new models since then have a SFA. I think one of the new junks even has independant at all 4 corners...

If you want a luxurious Jeep that still performs off road then go with the 99-04 GC. Hell, even some of the 93-98 Limiteds will suit your fancy if you aren't too picky. All new Jeeps are trashboxes for sure.

the guy who i bought my cherokee off of had one with over 300k and it ran strong.

It does look just like every other SUV out there right now.

Bleh, don't like it.

I'd buy one! I'd like to see what the SRT8's look like!

My wife has had four jeep Grand Cheep Cherokees with the I-6.
Her current one is a fully loaded 1999 white Laredo I-6 4x4. It has about 87K on it with very minor problems. All the previous Grand Cherokees before that had 150K + with no major problems before trade-in.

These newer Jeeps are a completely different breed with thier later drivetrain, powertrain and chasis technowledgy. Not sure if her next vehicle will be a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Damn, a '99 with 87k? That thing must be pampered.

Use to pamper it but now it's getting a little neglect.

My wife hardly drives it anymore.

junk...

I really like that. That interior is SHARP.
