Bought last week and I am in love with her. This jeep is addicting to drive. The shift paddles don’t bother once you become use to the vehicle. It’s an amazing SUV. Looks mean as well.
2015 ? After 4/5 months how is it ? I just got 1 2 days ago lol
@@imsubscribingtoeveryonewho7059 dude I love her still. Went for a long ride today across several towns. This jeep is everything. Yes 2015 limited.

Just bought a used 2015 limited yesterday. It has rain sensing wipers. Thanks so much for a helpful review.
how is the ownership going for you, has it been a good vehicle?
Also would like to know I picked a 2015 one up too!
0:19 you lost me at truck
+Alex Bernard You had me at hello.
Body on frame SUVs like this _are_ trucks.
My mom and I rented a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo to go to Savannah, GA from Chicago and back a couple years ango and I agree it is a NICE road-tripper.
It's a nice car to be in anytime!
Peter von Panda k
I have one its definitely addictive to drive i wake up thinking about it like my girlfriend.
lol I love how you say sucker throughout the video, and I don't know why but I actually liked this kind of consumer, laid-back review style. Nice job man!
6'2 fit in just fine.
Great info!
FYI: The wood trim is real wood
Sadly no
Best car review ever. Very natural and in depth but not too long winded. Thanks for making this video.
+Tommy Roberts thanks, bro!
nice consumer review! but at 8:55 whaaat are thooose!!😂

The whole purpose of that grab handle IS to help with ingress. I'm 5'6" and 72 years old and have NO problem getting in my WK2. My wife, who is 5'2" and has extremely short legs. has a bit more trouble, but still manages just fine. Try grabbing the handle with your left hand, stepping in with your LEFT foot first. Helps me. I love my Grand for cross county trips and, since it's an SRT, find the power to be very useful, especially when at higher altitudes.
That address is so close to my childhood home! But thanks for the review. I'm looking into suvs and just realized that step getting in is so annoying.
I love my 2012 Grand Cherokee.Nothing to envy BMW X5, MERCEDES, etc...
This is the Limited Edition of the car, which is the second one from the bottom. You also need to toggle up and down on the LCD screen in the middle to see more of the cool stuff.
I really think that a 2-3K higher price range would have been worthwhile for the upgrade to the higher level of luxury.
By the way that is real wood man. This not a Hyundai.
I personally drive an Overland myself and I thank myself for the gift every day.
Worth every penny.
Enjoy your family Jeep
PS: Good effort on the video.
Actually, Hyundai is manufacturing remarkably fine vehicles these days w/ real wood in certain models. Not a good comparison.
have you had any electrical issues with your overland?
The first level of Limited does not have real wood. I have one.
The 305 Garage yes. I like the genesis models.
If you get the version w/quadrailift air suspension you can put it in park mode to make it much easier to get in and get out. Not sure which trims you can get that on but it's at least available in the Overland and up.
Bought a 14 Grand Cherokee Limited Diesel last summer. it has the rain-sensing wipers and adaptive headlights with auto high-beams and the panoramic sunroof. You can option these with pretty much everything. Only thing it doesn't have is adaptive cruise and auto-braking which I NEVER want on any of my cars anyway.
I have this vehicle as well. I'm 6'4 and fit comfortably in it. It really is a very nice riding SUV and with a couple of huge snowstorms in Colorado, it performed excellently. I"m not a fan of the shifter and it takes time to get used to. But the only thing I don't like much is the little gear shifts on the steering wheel. It puts you into the gear your in and won't automatically change. This can be useful at times but its to easy to bump it and turn that feature on, and if you have to specifically know how to turn that feature back off. Otherwise I think this is the best SUV on the road, and I've driven a lot of them.
I'm 5'6" and have no issues getting in and out. I hate the shifter, but that's the way technology is going ... Shift-by-wire. I need the older, when you shift you know it's in gear.
You can deactivate the paddle shifts on the settings. I love this feature BTW.
You did a good job with this review. A few minor points:
0:16 Technically the Grand Cherokee is a crossover and not a truck because its based on a unibody.
3:20 I don't understand the appeal of putting low pro tires on trucks and SUVs.
+Michael Miller Low-Profiles handle better on the street.
+Michael Miller Technically the JGC is an SUV,not a crossover and those are not low profile tires.
+LoveAboveHate True, but the ride comfort level suffers if you're looking for a cushy ride. 10 years with my FJ Cruiser now but I did upgrade it to 20" wheels because of high speed lane changes with the oem 17" wheels didn't make it for me (like driving a boat).
It's a Jeep, I know most will never be taken off road but this SUV can actually do a pretty good job off road and low profile tires would ruin that ability.
Technically, Flatline, you're wrong. That's because the JGC defies categories. It is a crossover because it is unibody . . . but it's an SUV because, properly equipped (which this one clearly is NOT), it is quite off-road capable. And RomaBoy, my WK2 is not about fast lane changes. That's why I have a GT500 Shelby/Mustang. It's a Jeep, for God's sake, not a sports car.
I have a Jeep Wrangler and though it has a different infotainment unit, doing the voice training helped the voice command behavior tremendously. Before it was totally hopeless and after the (kind of tedious) voice training it worked way better. Obviously this is one-person centric so it's not a solution for a shared vehicle but it did help.
+Mike Dubiansky Great tip!
Just an FYI---The limited is the 2nd out of 5 trim levels. Also, you can get rain sensing wipers on the limited with the LUX 2 package. Usually limited models come with a standard sunroof unless dealer orders it without sunroof. The only grand Cherokee that comes with out a sun roof standard is the Laredo.
+pdgable The Cherokee is able to have features as that because it has electronic power steering. The grand Cherokee does not. The lux 2 package for the grand Cherokee however includes QL which is the air suspension. If you actually think about that system alone and all that's involved with it $4200 isn't so bad considering you're getting all the other features.
I have the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit V8 and it has everything you could think of, i mean thats basically a base jeep, if you want the hight to go down go for an overland with standard air suspension. Plus you get every option you could want.
Sell it to me
I have owned a 2015 Grand Cherokee for about a year now. I like the car except for one big problem I have had. I almost had three accidents so far, the right side mirror blocks the view of cars or people coming from the right side. what makes it worse is the mirror is chrome so when you look it appears that nothing is there.
Yes true, I noticed this also big blind spot through there.
First off I enjoyed watching your review. I own a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and love it! I am portly myself and also struggle with the height but consider it a good leg stretching activity, LOL! The shifter is weird along with the subpar "VR" system, but I agree overall it's a nice vehicle to own, ride in and drive. Good job!
Sounds exactly like my experience. Thanks!
For shorter people, try lowering the seat height to it's lowest level, you can even program it to auto adjust to different height drivers with the memory buttons. That's what my husband and I do and it works great for us.
Heh been doing that too since got the 15 new. Great solution.
I always vow to never go with red on newer vehicles becasue the taillight design don't stand out. I prefer blue the most.
Well Peter, I have the rain sensing option, and the auto-dimming feature on the headlights on my RAM 1500..same technology as all the rest of the Fiat/Chrysler/Ram similarly equipped vehicles...and, they clearly do not stack up to the competition. The rain sensors detect rain...sometimes..well, always, but way too late..depending on it's mood. Ditto for the auto-dimming headlights...sometimes yes, sometimes you get a "reminder" from oncoming traffic. If you have reflective road signs in the countryside...where it is very dark, with lots of critters that like to do the "death dash" you need to pay attention...they do not always flip to high when you most need them, and are forced to pull the lever back and force and hold it to stay on high.
I am pretty sure, that if you are not sure when it's raining, you need your licensed revoked..not you Peter, just in general. Ditto for High beams...nice Idea, but I sincerely hope, people are not SO distracted they can't manualy activate wipers or high beams.
Uconnect tip of the day...if you have an iPhone..not sure how many versions this works with..but mine is a 6...Siri will work while driving...compose, send, reply to emails and texts...while driving, hands free..not touching anything or taking eyes off the road. You MUST have your phone plugged in via the USB port...then this works. To compose a text or email, just say "hey Siri"..and your command..." Hey Siri, Email *****" it will prompt "what do you want to say?" ..well you get the idea ..just listen and talk.
+pdgable Maybe...I had it in for its' oil change, and mentioned it, and they told me "ya, it's not 100% accurate 100% of the time. " Yes, they DO work...but perhaps its/ the hight of the RAM vs other vehicles, and maybe the windshield angle as well? Who knows lol. If it suddenly starts raining...They work as advertised...steady rain...sure....but it's the misty, start, then stop stuff that fools them some times. If they came on exactly at the same time I typically activate them manually, I'd not notice it. Maybe I'm just picky, and too quick on the "trigger"? :-)
Anyway all good! :-)
Great video, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but you Terrain's back seat can recline as well.
+euroglx I love those seats! ruclips.net/video/YlWkxTETeUQ/видео.html
great video i just bought the same one but I am having electrical issues it actually shutdown completely on me on the highway today and had it towed to the dealer....did your parents ever have any issues?
For the people who don't know It's real wood and the Shift issue is fixed.
The shift issue is that people aren't accustomed to that type of shifter. Who is. There isn't a malfunction with it.
Plastic trees.
We have a 2013 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the 5.7 Hemi and love it! I liked the 2011-2013 model's grille more. Looked more masculine and didn't look like a Jeep Compass' grille. The taillights on the 2011-2013 model had a point on their ends that made it look more mean in the back. The rims are small because it's an off-road vehicle, and you can damage larger rims if you take it out to rocks that squeeze the tire too much (you usually deflate tires a bit for better traction off-road too). I do like the interior more on yours though. The 2011-2013 interior looked like it can use more style, but I still like it!
+Dcc357 I like the lights, they have kind of an Audi style to them.
Did you know about the 12 volt power outlet in the center console? Also there is a small light in there.
The limited is the 5th from the top package, just above the Laredo. It's below the , Limited Black, Overland, Overland Summit, TrailHawk and SRT .
"You don't have a low profile tire by any means" - It's a 4wd vehicle, the 18s leave room for larger off roading tires. It's not a sports car or sports suv like an X5
My '20 High Altitude came with a long funnel that fits into the capless gas filler. In case you ever had to put gas in with a can.
That's a solid feature... I had to buy one on Amazon
1 Summit.2 Overland. 3 Limited. That's the Grand model pecking order. The 20 inch wheels are a 1500 dollar option plus all the money you will spend on rim repair.
SRT8 would be #1 then Summit and so on...
Laredo would the entry-level package.
Trackhawk would be #1 then SRT8 and so on...
Hey, thanks for the review. You should have spent a couple of bucks more in order to get the "Overland" which gives you some more gimmicks including the great two tone 20 inch alloys. Had to make the choice between an X5, Q7, GLE or the GC. Opted for the GC in the end because of the added value and the similar prices of the four here in Europe. And btw. it is one of the last real SUVs left because so many other follow the Lexus and design their former SUVs as Crossovers which I personally never liked. Have a look at the new Q7 which looks more like an pumped up station waggon now. One additional aspect of the GC is the offroad capability which is unbeaten and not to forget ... it´s got a footprint. Best regards from Germany. Mike
Mine has the factory 20s and they really make the look. Be glad you don't have an X5, it costs an arm and a leg to fix it and depreciation is awful with the BMW. I'm on my 3rd Grand Cherokee and I've had great luck.
You got that radio voice I could fall asleep to ahah
That's not meant to be a bad thing
nice car review man
+James Kang thanks, bro!
go for the quadralift option love mine
The limited is the 2nd from the bottom trim. You have Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and the awesome SRT.
+Richard R You also have the Altitude that has standard sunroof, dual exhaust, 20 inch wheels and the SRT suede insert seats which I believe puts it ahead of the base Limited as well. There is also a High Altitude that is equipped like a Summit.
+pdgable Yes, but there was the Orvis edition that was even more limited than the Limited.
Correct, Richard. For anybody else: the SRT (and 20-inch wheels) is for someone who can't make up their mind if they want a sports car or an SUV. To each his own, but I don't think it makes any sense.
My grand cherokee overland is the most unreliable car I have ever owned!!!
AMG GLE 63 S what are the issues with the Overland? I am thinking of getting one
It's actually the third from the top. Trims are the Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Summit.
+CommunityChrysler 4th. SRT is the top. :)
Forgot about the SRT! We don't get them, so it slipped my mind!
The SRT is not a proper off-road SUV, so often people forget about mentioning it.
Neighborhood Car Reviews why don't you get SRTs? Where are you?
Neighborhood Car Reviews which model is the best?
The led outline the put around the headlights is better for that model year
Complaining about the height to get in is a bit moot on SUV. If you want just better traction in the snow, the Subaru's would do fine and would have that lower height.
Also, the Overland has the adjustable ride-height (which I do use to let me dogs in and out of the back). Nifty feature.
1.5 years and I still get into the wrong gear 50% of the time. That shifter is a disaster. Love it otherwise.
Hey just so you know I have a 2016 limited and the back seat lays down flat you just got to know how to work it
I'm 6'1" tall, and getting in and out is one of the best things about my new 2018 G.C. Limited. I don't even have to adjust the steering wheel down. Just lift your right foot and slide your right knee under the wheel, duck your head a bit, and the rest is automatic. And the door hinge has two detents before you get to full open--I can get in and out--keeping my Stetson hat on--when parked next to the garage wall with the door open only to the first detent--and not worry about it swinging in on me and crushing my shinbone. Plus this car is the first I have found in at least ten years of car shopping and driving rent cars that doesn't bang both my knees when driving, causing serious pain. They scooped out some space on the center console to give knee room, and on the left, the arm rest hits me painlessly on the fleshy part of my thigh, just above the knee bone. The gear shifter that he complains about has a new design now so it moves in the conventional way, unless you slide it left and drive in "manual shift" mode. Rain-sensing wipers? Who needs 'em? But I think they are available now on the G.C. Limited. I haven't tried the "voice recognition" yet, but I appreciate his demo of it. I want to learn the old fashioned stuff first. My first car was a '54 Chevy Bel Air; first "new" car a '65 Pontiac LeMans. ☺
Nice all round review Peter. I'm thinking of getting one of these myself. I agree that the wood trim would probably look better in a lighter tone of Oak, but it still looks pretty good as is. In regards to the problem with the for the navigation system, maybe you could try giving the command of: Navigate, then just say the house number and drop the "Navigate to". I think you stated the computer might consider the word "to" as a number which is entirely possible. Like I said though, really nice review. Cheers!
I think you're right. I just wish it was as good as Siri.
+Peter von Panda uConnect sucks!!
What I hate about the air suspension is you can't leave it at the highest settings. If you could do that to be able to put bigger off road tires on I would get 1.
+leadnsteel Ah, that would be cool.
Limited is 4th from the top! 1st would be the SRT 2nd would be the Summit, 3rd is the overland, then the limited and of course the lerado is last!
Excellent call! What I meant was that it was the 2nd from the top in terms of option packages for the Limited version... the top package included rain sensing wipers and a moonroof, but I didn't make that clear.
why are you comparing this car to the x5? the bmw x5 is luxury midsize suv and is compared to the audi q7 and porsche cayenne
Funny you compare this to the BMW X5. I just traded in my X5 for the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. One big question: how do you turn OFF the radio? The button only mutes it, eventually the damn thing comes back on - again & again & again. I DO NOT LISTEN TO A RADIO when I drive. Help!!
To avoid the radio (FM, AM or Satellite) just select media and then any other screen menu.
These Jeeps have serious transmission issues. Shifting is erratic, downshift are rough and bang into gear. I have had three software updates done on my 2015 and the transmission valve body was just replace, but the problems persist. Just be aware of this if you are considering purchasing one. My dealer told me he has had as many as 16 Grand Cherokees in his shop at the same time with transmission issues.
Superb cars, even here in LR obsessed Britain many looking for a proper 4x4 are turning to Jeep.
My Jeep grand Cherokee limited has 20” stock rims
Do you know which Jeep Grand Cherokees/model/year have the LED accent trim around the front headlights?
+Se2018 LED headlights are on 2014- 2016, they are available on Limited and standard on Overland ,High Altitude, Summit and SRT.
So how has the Jeep been in problems and or Reliability?
SD cards are great. They're cheap and you can load them up with tons of music. No need to have an iPod in the car to get ripped off.
The wood is real and is an open pore exotic wood, according to the Jeep press kit, so it won't be oak.
A capless gastank is not a good idea. If that door does not tight dust and moisture can get into your fuel. I have seen Fords where the gastank door is slightly open. That's not good. I am surprised that that design passed by the designers. Time will tell if this is an issue.
I have rain sensing wipers on my 2015 GC Limited.
+Mark Roiland lucky
I love my grand cherokee.
It's pretty great all around.
Dude... you have a base limited. Limited has an upgrade package that gets you rain sensing wipers, led daytime running headlights, sub woofer and some other stuff. Then there is the overland, and summit editions. Other words, your not driving a “one step down” edition.
We have a Limited in AUSTRALIA, ours is the 3.2 Diesel as we haul horses up to 3200kgs (3.5 ton) this vehicle does it with ease. On the freeway we get about 2 gal/60miles, with horses 4 gal/60miles. Compared with the US model we do get rain sensitve wipers and 265 x 50 x R20inch tyres. My wife mainly drives the car and she is about 5' 9" and has no problem getting in or out and we don't have side steps. Had a 2005 petrol Toyota Highlander before which was great but this is better, we do about 13,000 miles a year. The only thing I don't like is the push button start/off.
Rob East he is 5'8" but he looks like he weighs close to 140kg so I think that's why he can't get up in too easy...
a jeep is a package on it's own. it is not a crossover not one bit. that is where the compass and such came in . the departure angle needs to be that high because it still needs greater off road capabilities than a crossover but not as much as a wrangler. putting Jeep into a crossover segment is where most of the Jeep fan boys will rip into you because since day one. the grand Cherokee is made to hit the trails. this may have a lot more body but still is capable.
this is a truck... I think they should make a truck WITH a truck bed just a nice 4 door large pickup truck in the Grand Cherokee style that would look amazing
Ok. I have this exact same Jeep but w/ a few extra options and Charcoal interior. I love the car, I drove Ford for the last 15yrs and no longer found the SUV's to be off-road worthy. I have different wheels that actually fill the space, plus a winter set that really make it look Beefy. The only thing I would've liked is the Diesel engine, and I honestly don't see how Jeep justifies the 4k increase when you can get a Chevy Cruise Diesel for 1/2 the price. Right now I'm loving the "SNOW" mode, it's a shit show in SE Michigan. I think I'll stick w/ Jeep for a while, hopefully the next lease will be the Wrangler w/ the 8sp trans and Diesel.
You don't understand how Jeep justifies the 4k increase (for the diesel) because you don't own one. I do. WELL worth it! P.S. The idea with tires is not to "actually fill the space." There are other considerations.
Only worth it if you tow, or drive long distances often, and want minimal fuel stops along the way. Otherwise, it's a big waste of money, and a notch down on refinement over the V6 or V8. Yes, I have driven all. IMO, the V6 is more than adequate for this vehicle. Hence my choice for a 17 Overland 4x2 V6. I don't see any other reason that justifies paying $4,500 more for the diesel. And don't tell me fuel savings, as that is nil, and would take well over 10 years to payback. I won't be keeping this vehicle 10 years.
My 08 limited has rain wiper senser auto highbeam dimming .only thing I think it can't do is play music threw the bs Uconnect
I have a Lincoln that has the capless gas tank. Yeah, it's convenient, but honestly I'd rather just have a simple cap. Why overcomplicate such a simple thing, adding one more thing that can eventually fail?
Well, I'm amazed at this review, because I think there's so much wrong. I bought a 2016, also a Limited version, which has eliminated that stupid shifter which was really just a gimmick and FCA got caught on it. However, calling out the 18-inch wheels (and their somewhat higher profile tires) fails to acknowledge that this vehicle is in its concept an OFF-ROAD vehicle made more civilized in an attempt to compromise between off-road ability and on-road competence. 18-inch wheels are the correct size for this vehicle (although on mind, I have the slightly more aggressive off-road tread Goodyear Wranglers). Anything larger than 18s, and you are just looking at big shiny wheels. Both comfort AND off-road ability suffer. Plus, this is a bad example of how to equip a Grand Cherokee. In the first place, there are at least two trim levels higher than the Limited: the Overland and the Summit, not to mention the SRT. Why ANYBODY would opt for a Jeep and not go with 4X4 is beyond me. It's a Jeep. Mine is, I think, properly equipped: diesel engine (WOW, is it superior!), Quadra-Drive, Quadra-Trac and Quadra-Lift. The Quadra-Lift not only solves the Entry issue, but it allows for a lot of extra ground clearance, with five heights: Entry/Edit, Normal Ride Height, Off-Road 1 and Off-Road 2. Plus, there's Aero mode which is automatically selected at highway speeds. I wouldn't like that Grand Cherokee in the review, because it seems to me that is not much more than a standard crossover . . . so it's not really a Jeep. It's a JINO (Jeep In Name Only).
+Denys A JINO! I love that. I'm going to start using that.
I'm purchasing a 2017 4x2 V6 Overland. I'm not spending the extra money on 4x4 as I don't need it. This will be a city driven vehicle. Why pay 3k more for something I don't need, nor will ever use? Regarding the diesel, again why should I pay $4,500 more for something I don't need? The payback in the fuel savings is nil. Long before I will ever see a payback, this Jeep will be long gone. I'm not towing anything, so again, the V6 is more than adequate. Besides, I actually test drove the diesel and found it far less refined than the V6 model. Now the Hemi 5.7 is a worthy option, as it is even more refined than the V6. But, I don't really need the extra power, and I don't want the mpg penalty. I have a sports car for weekend driving, so that will fulfill my need for speed. This vehicle will be driven like a granny. So, these are my reasons as to why I'm choosing a 4x2 w/V6.I will say, however, I wish Jeep gave the option of being able to have the Quadra-lift air suspension on non 4x4 models. That is one feature of the 4x4 that I will miss.
I love this one.
The vocal navigation will have you stopping at every house on the block if you stutter.
the 2016's now have the option for rain sensitive wipers
+gta4viceman those are nice.
You don't want low profile tires on an off-road capable vehicle as they can be damaged on rocks, etc.
I also have the sunroof
lmfao. Cause its owned by my mommy and daddy.
Gi Jo true I just got one for my wife and daughter smh lol
I have had multiple transmission problems with my 2015. This seems to be a common issue with these vehicles. I have owned mine for 18 months and it has less than 12,000 miles on it. The latest fix was to replace the entire transmission. Buyer Be Ware!!!!
How.much it hit u for
@@bobbyhurley4869 Replaced under warranty
65,000 miles now and not a peep of tranny complaints. 2015 bought new.
I like your comeback on these comments...
+Camdon Logan me too
Camdon Logan I was about to say the same thing. That's the proper way to handle trolls!
Real wood.
How is the reliability about Jeep? My father owned a GM car before and We had have a bad experience about American made car. I think they have make a great deal improvement about their quality now, but still not sure about their quality. any one can help. thanks.
+opex wells Reliability-wise, it's been a champ. The only reason it doesn't get driven more is that the mileage is a bit underwelming.
+opex wells if you're looking for reliability you should buy Japanese, domestics have always had a bad reputation for reliability and their resale value sucks also
you have a great "car reviewer guy" voice btw
And you, sir, are awesome btw.
+Peter von Panda My parents bought a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited (White exterior + beige interior) in July. We love it! I do agree with you on the voice command complaint though.
Good job PVP
Thanks!
I have no problem with the step in height. But then again, Jeep has never meant for this vehicle to compete with crossovers but with true off-road vehicles instead.
Just get the Quadra-Lift. Problem solved. My wife is 4'10" and she can get in and out fine.
2017 they replaced the gear shifter with something more conventional. That bump system was carried over from Mercedes Benz and is responsible for some loss of life.
very frustrainting that you car can't have up to date maps without paying for an up grade and the navigation is so behind in technology!!!
That is a stupid dislike that the step in is too high. What do u want the truck to be lower because it is low enough. If anything it need a lift. It's a Jeep. Buy a compass if you want a low step in.
How is the grand Cherokee doing so far? Do you have any problem with it?
Had my '15 JGC Ltd. new since July '15, 39k miles, no problems.
Get a side step. Although you'll want to take it off if you ever go off roading.
They make model "packages" to help keep the cost down so people who don't want/need or maybe can't afford those EXTRA's can still afford to purchase this vehicle. So buying a particular model and complaining that you aren't getting features from the next model up is a little childish.
I did however learn about the reclining rear row seat from your video *thumbs up.
+Anthony Sullo I'm a LOT childish.
Reviews of this review and things he forgot...18" Tires and the extra "rubber" is fine. If you want low profile tires or a Jeep for speed, get the SRT8. For the suspension that comes with the Limited, you need the "extra rubber". Function trumps aesthetics! On the opposite end, the "squinty" headlights DO NOT equal to better Night Time DRIVING. Give me brighter lamps or bigger lights. I also have the towing package so that "might" affect the ingress/egress of the vehicle, but I'm under 6' and have no problem getting in/out of it. I do agree that the limited should've at least had certain features like the lane detection mirrors, but I'm sure FCA packaged that with the Adaptive Cruise Control and other things on purpose for a higher sell. The SHIFTER...SMH. With the recall and the way technology is going, "Shift-by-wire... joystick... whatever" is here to stay. The mechanism does take some getting use to IF you are an older driver who likes to feel the gears engaged. After a year driving, some things you missed that a potential driver should note are the following:This vehicle is MORE computerized than some would like. Touch screens, LCDs, etc. You can dim the screen, but you essentially have to have it on which can be a distraction for some. Scarier still is that some of the functions don't have manual backups - Heated Seats for example.Speaking of computerized... Uconnect. Lots of hits and misses with it. Although Voice Recognition with of the Uconnect (tm) system was mentioned, the system itself can be off-putting. Numbers must be spoken individually. Whereas you would say 1340 as "thirteen forty", the only way to get true accuracy is saying "one three four zero". Also, cities that have N, S, E, W or NE, NW, SE, SW added to the street addresses, good luck trying to get the Voice Recognition to interpret that correctly. Have too many examples of me arguing with the GPS about a street. LOL. One more thing of note, the Speech-to-Text option sounds great for Hands Free Texting. However, it is given for 1 year free and always adds as a tagline "sent from Uconnect..." to each text message like an ad. There is no way to remove this even by paying for it (except hacking which I will not discuss here. LOL).GPS - Besides speech issues at times, the interface for the GPS though (Garmin Based) is not as intuitive. Couple that with balancing "her" voice volume with the radio, and you have a challenge. Car will horn will beep and lights will flash if you leave your keys in your car! I don't know who created this feature or how many vehicles have this, but this is cool. With the keyless entry and proximity technology, the vehicle KNOWS what keys you are using and where you are in proximity of it. "FOB is outside of the vehicle" messages, etc.
This is a Limited but not Luxury 2 Package right? And, that's what you keep referring to about the upper level package? I am just making sure.
+mike gurgle yes
+Peter von Panda Thanks for the response and the video. Good stuff.
+Peter von Panda & #everyone: I just bought a brandnew 2015 Limited w/ Luxury 2 package. It is awesome. I was also told that the 2015s have a 5 year 100k power train. The 2016s have a 5 year 60k power train. Jeep is not doing the 100k anymore.
Like a crossover...it is a crossover...
which do you like better the jeep or the terrain?
Jeep
Very hardy SUV and reliable !!
I have a request if you are in contact with representatives of a Jeep, then tell them for Russia they made the most reliable jeep!
There is one Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2013 with a 3.6 engine, it has a mileage of almost 800,000 thousand kilometers or 497,096,954 thousand miles !! Not a problem except a broken gearbox !!
With the recent controversy of actor Anton Yelchin dying after being pinned by his 2015 Grand Cherokee, have you had any issues with the vehicle slipping out of park or thinking you put it into park and realizing you didn't? Do you think it would be easy to make that mistake or more possible with this type of gear shift?
+jake2112 I've thought about that. No, I've never had it slip once I'm in the right gear. However, yes, I think the shifter is cool but it sucks. It's not only easy to end up in the wrong gear, it can be hard to get it in the gear you want because it'll jump two spots instead of one.
How is the reliability since purchase, I am looking to get a 2016 grand cherokee and I hear mixed reviews, some people have it in the shop all the time, others havent had a problem at all since purchase. Chrysler products always make me sort of hesitant.
+Skunny no trips to the shop for me yet
Same here I have a 2011 and a 2015 and no issues with either. I also had an 2000 grand Cherokee that had 1 shop visit in 11 years, a rotted brake line due to the salty winters I presume.
Skunny i
Limited, Overland, Summit, then SRT
terry triche you missed one...
they have Altitude, high altitude, Trailhawk, and Trackhawk
Peter don't listen to the hate do your thing mang
+Sean Murphy Solidarity, brother!
+Peter von Panda would you ever consider switching from your gmc to a jeep? Just wondering
Ahh yes, putting low profile tires on an SUV that is made to be in mild off-road situations. Absolute pro move for those who want to break a wheel or lose a tire to a rock.
It’s okay. Just get step rails.
I have an 2003 JGC. Lets trade that way you'll appreciate what u got
03's are sweet!
Looks like a Laredo. No features and quick order package. Really low end Limited. Decent review.
high tech dashboard just Fn ruins the vehicle! makes me consider holding on to my 2011 that much longer!
+tman55575 I miss the simplicity of my 1992 Jeep Wrangler.
