SUV Owners... Personal Vehicle. Jeep Cherokee?


In all honesty this is going to be personal commuter/daily driver. The new cherokees get 22 mpg highway and around 17 city... which is about what my current rig is getting me. Does anybody have first hand experience with the new (05-up) Grand cherokees? What trim do you have? any issues?

Thanks

I have a 05 4X4 Laredo with a V8. It's the best Jeep i've ever owned !
Mercedes took ahold of Jeep and put some Quality back into it.

Buy one you won't regret it.

MB has since sold Chrysler.

Jeeps are one of the most dependable lines in the Chrysler family. A friend of mine has a few older ones with the straight 6 and ones got 260K miles and still has enough power to pull a skid loader around.
