Thanks for sharing. I put the same Weathertech floor mats throughout my 22 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. First time I have ever spent that much on floor mats. I have to say, I feel it was a great investment in keeping my jeeps floors in great shape. I too like the fit and look. Wanted to let you know I enjoy your updates and have watched them a couple of times each and find them very informative.
Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! These sure were expensive but they already are paying off. I spent a lot of time vacuuming and scrubbing the carpet previously and now I save that time with a quick vacuum and wipe. Much more efficient and they don’t hold any smells in!
Looks good I bought the OEM weather mats when I bought my GCL and love them.
The Mopar mats weren’t available when we got ours. Thanks for watching and commenting!
When I got my Grand Cherokee, I considered these, but ultimately went with Lasfit, as they provide the same coverage as Weathertech, but are considerably less expensive.
I can’t argue with you. The LASFIT are great. Only caveat is where they are produced.
Weather Tech mats are great. With that said there are two major problems with W/T mats/liners. Floor mats are great but cargo area “Liners” have one design flaw. They fit well but two separate sections. The liners have to be removed when you switch back and forth when you either raise or fold second row. Not made by W/T but they’re is a work around….a accordion type flexible spacer that is Velcro’d to the carpeted side of the second row seats. Tucked under the “Behind third row you can switch back and forth with raising and lowering the second row. I keep the third row seats normally retracted…..the third row seats interfere with the mounting of the cargo area securely shade.
One major issue that I am old school and really don’t like. They advertise Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and although I don’t normally use, with the 23 model at least the cruise is Adaptive Only. The option of normal cruise control and ACC as needed is not there. 2023 is Adaptable only.
A couple of other minor design flaws.
1. A/C, heating vents are way too small. The “10-1” infotainment screen really cut into the center stack real estate.
2. The duplicate controls for the A/C, heat….the actual physical buttons are way too low. There is a toggle selector switch…well actually three. Two are temperature (Cold/HOT with duplicate settings for driver passenger and also a “SYNC) control to allow both front seat occupants to have the same temperature setting. The third toggle is the fan speed selector for manual operation.
The selector for the defrost, vent position, A/C is underneath the set of toggle selectors. Very non user friendly, especially at night. Yes I know infotainment screen is primary method to operate but still like having the option.
3. Both drivers instrument cluster related.
A. Cruise control speed select indicator is way too small. Location is fine but really needs larger/bolder font type with more contrast against the background.
B. Fuel door. Door is physically located on left side near there row. Fuel quantity indicator is on the right side of the instrument cluster.
Overall a great vehicle but some fairly obvious lack of attention to detail. The minimal contrast against the background for easier viewing is getting to be the common theme among a lot of today’s generation of vehicles.
Lift gate; the button to lower the lift gate is inside the cargo area, not the bottom of the lift gate assembly.
Lots of feedback! Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos brother I'm in perth Western Australia and looking to buy the Grand Cherokee L Limited would love to see you do a video off road to see how it performs, as you gather we don't get any snow in this part of Oz but would be good to see it in the mud and sand thanks again mate.
Thanks for the kind words, watching and commenting. Unfortunately, we no longer have the GCL as it was wrecked by a distracted driver. But based on how well it did in the snow/mud I would have no concerns with dirt paths and trails. A rock climber it is not for obvious reasons.
Great video, really wanted to see if any one used these weathertech, I have kids and I don't want any thing to be spilt over the new Cherokee 😂
They work great. You won’t be disappointed with them.
I'm waiting for their more traditional rubber mats set. I had problems with this style in my last car getting bent edges and not "springing back". The rubber is more pliant.
Check out what LASFIT offers. We are really happy with them.
your from simpsonville ? dang ill make sure to give you jeep wave if i see you!! nice videos
Yep. See you around! Thanks for watching!
Also, you should wrap your car...similar to putting a screen protector on your phone, you should put a film on your car to prevent further paint chipping. The wider box design unfortunately isn't as aerodynamic, and leaves itself open to the elements.
Sure, a wrap, clear bra or protective film would each possibly help. But they are all costly. Maybe in the future, who knows. 👍
Hello! I really appreciate all your updates on GC L. It was really informative and helpful to others. I’ve recently got 2022 GC L and noticed some weird behavior (not sure whether it is okay or not). I feel the little vibration (kind of phone vibration) underneath the driver’s seat when the vehicle is in halt and engaged in reverse or driving mode (let’s say waiting for traffic signal and keeping the brake pedal ON). Have you or anyone observed this ? Is this something I need to worry about?
Thank you for the kind words.
I can’t say I have experienced any vibrations like you have described. I am sorry I can’t provide any additional feedback. There is an HVAC vent under the driver and passenger seats. But I wouldn’t think that would be enough for you to feel it through your seat.
@@QuickShifts Thanks for the feedback. I have booked the appointment with the service center next week to look into that.
@@jani20980 Hi there! I have been experiencing similar problem as yours in my 21 Summit model. Was the technician able to find out the probable cause of this issue? Please share your valuable feedback! Thanks..
Hi QuickShifts. Good video showing us the installation of the WeatherTech floor mats for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Based on what I saw in the video they fit good and snug in the vehicle which is great! I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Mine is a 2023 model year in the Summit Reserve trim with the V8 engine. My vehicle has the captain chairs in the second row like yours, but a different setup. There's a arm rest console in the second row for mine. The arm rest console unit in the second row is basically the same like what's in the first row. Question to ask you is, at the time when you ordered the WeatherTech mats for your vehicle, did the drop down menu on the web site ask for which trim level Jeep Grand Cherokee L? If it does ask for which trim level, that would be nice to know. Another question I have for you is how long did it take for delivery? Was it few days, one week or two weeks? For a suggestion, now that you have the floors protected with the WeatherTech mats, it would be very wise to do the same thing with the leather seats as well. As you know, the leather seats will eventually wear out or rip depending on the scenario especially the driver's seat. I'm going to get something to protect the seats within a month or two because my vehicle came with the Palermo leather seats.
The weather tech site will ask you which seating layout you have. Select the one which matches your setup. The delivery took a week for me and I am on the east coast. That’s pretty good in my opinion. Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@QuickShifts Ok. Thank you! Will let you know when I get mine. I'm looking forward to seeing more Jeep Grand Cherokee L videos.
My center console piano black is getting scratched up like crazy. Not sure what caused it. The keys maybe? But usually put those in the tray.
Also, I have chipping on the back number by the trunk. I am thinking that wear from the my daughters stroller. We have 11K miles on it.
Overall though great car.
Bumper* not number
That’s the frustrating thing about piano black pieces. They scratch very easily and have finger prints like crazy. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing. Amazing videos. it would be great if you can share some tips how you take care of you center console scratches (especially area with piano black)?
Appreciate it. I haven’t done anything special yet. Just keep it clean with a microfiber and interior cleaner. At some point I may do an extra little buff on it and will video that.
Thanks for the video! Wanted your opinion. Would you recommend OEM Mopar formats? Or Weathertech? I have no preference and price really doesn’t factor into my decisions.
And by OEM Mopar, I’m referring to the rubber version!
@@TheColbyWatson really, it gets down to personal preference on the design differences. Back when I did this video, you couldn’t get the Mopar as they were not available. Can you message me on Instagram? I have the weathertech still and maybe we can make a deal.
Do you know if the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Altitude comes with the 3rd row floor mats? When I bought mine the dealership is trying to tell me it doesn’t come with the 3rd row but it’s setup for one with the two plastic pieces to pop one in
Ours came with one. I don’t see why a 2023 wouldn’t. Good luck with the dealership. Worst case get one from LASFIT. They are really nice products. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I guess don’t buy floor mats when you purchase the vehicle. Just place an order for Weather Tech.
It’s one of a few options. Weathertech being the American made option. But for half the price you can pick up LASFIT with better rear seat floor coverage, but not domestically produced. Decisions have to be made.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
wait till you get to 60,000 mi and hit start having problems with a transmission in the gas seals
Did you have a problem with yours?
Do you have to remove the old carpet mats? Can’t you just put this on top?
Technically, you don’t have to and could lay them on top, but I would not recommend it. You should remove the others and install these so they lock into place and do not slide around and potentially create an unsafe situation under foot.
@@QuickShifts thanks
Hey I am on the fence with buying a used 2021 grand cherokee L limited with 6,000 miles on it. Do you still think it is a great suv? my main concern is how good it is in bad weather like snow and rain, I was also wondering how it would be in mud and rough roads.
I wouldn’t have any concerns. I have another video where you can see how it performs in the snow on the stock tires. In short, it does really well even on all season tires. Thanks for watching and commenting! good luck with your purchase.
@@QuickShifts thank you for the response. Happy 4th of July!
@@MrNickster12345 how much is it going for?
@@IVAN2233 $49,399…. Is that a decent deal? It’s msrp was 52,355
nice video. Im about to hit 5k miles on my 2021 L at what mileage are you doing your oil changes and Tire rotaions?
We are following the factory recommendations as we have included maintenance for the first couple years. Tires are at 10k I believe.
@@QuickShifts oh ok yeah mine says to do oil change at 10k but I have never waited that long on a car before so I was just wondering
oil changes should be every 10k on full synthetic, more often on a blend or organic oil. Tire rotations are as needed, not on a schedule. Just check for tread depth differences regularly. I've got 42k on mine with no issues so far. The tires are wearing quicker than I expected, though.
Did your L come with a tow hitch as standard? What trim level do you have?
We have a Limited. It did not include a tow hitch or the tow package. Those were additional.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello, just wanted to ask if you or anyone has noticed how loud the air conditioner is. When I stand outside I can hear the ac compressor very loud. Just curious if anyone else is having this happen.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Fair question. The AC is loud on the GCL. But it is a large vehicle that takes some power to cool, especially on very hot days. I wouldn’t be worried about this at all. Jeep has always had loud AC but it is also always very good AC. Don’t worry until you don’t hear it. Haha!
I have one. The AC is loud on the outside. Inside it is fine.
I have a 2022 Summit (none L)and I never once thought the A.C. was loud.
Does your Limited have the E LSD delete?
No. It was a Quad 1 so no eLSD. But, you can disable traction control with a button on the center council. I demonstrate this in the snow driving video.
Mopar ones are better... Rubber not plastic
I have not seen the Mopar. They were on constant back order.
