How do you come up with that assessment? What do newer Jeeps have that is so bad that this one doesn’t have ? Because this grand Cherokee (while reliable and good looking) has a (AS SAID BY RALPH GILLES and other Chrysler heads) very cheap interior and was designed during Chryslers worse time. The cars built when FIAT took over are the well rounded ones. The ones before fiat have the reliability but the rest of the cars are literally made from bankruptcy money (none)😂. The grand Cherokee after this one (2011) when fiat gave Chrysler money to actually develop something , is when grand Cherokee got GOOD!
I had a 96' Grand Cherokee Laredo and that thing was amazing.. Damn mountain goat and had over 200k that was very reliable.. Course 13.9 mpg in the city was terrible but it had a 24 gallon tank and would get 320 plus miles on the hwy..
@@gabrielgochenour8225Not at all. I had a 2002 Grand Cherokee that had three transmissions. I bought a 2006 Grand Cherokee and still have it. The Jeeps built when Mercedes owned Chrysler were done right.
worked for chrysler when these came out. I thought the interiors were cheap. had tons of issues with the Displacement on demand system. Lots of customers had us shut it off. The NAG 5 speed was a mercedes trans, good unit. 30,000 mile tune up with copper plugs on the hemis was stupid.
@@fortyforfree i got it at auction 2005 one owner 146k she's great...there is a steering leak i have to address and it had a bad oil weight sensor and had to swap that out...but other then that its a great car for my girl...12mpg at best with the hemi but its fun
This is my favorite looking jeep grand Cherokee My auntie used to have one in silver back when I was younger and it broke down and then my brother used to have a black 2010 jeep grand Cherokee Limited Now he crashed in wrecked it
How so? This generation was much better in every single respect. It was safer, larger inside, had more power and torque from bigger engines, and retained Jeep's awesome 4WD prowess.
@@Deanyfromtheburgh sort of depending on how it’s used. if it’s meant to be an off roader, the older gen is better because it has a solid front axle. Double wishbones are nice but aren’t very good for off-roading since they aren’t as strong (that hemi is awesome though)
Idk where they got the idea that the fit and finish of the WK was better than the WJ. Yes, it does look a little more contemporary and less... stuffy? Than the interior of the WJ, but its not better put together at all. All of those surfaces are hard plastics of the lowest grade
One of the very last halfway decent Jeeps.
When Daimler (Mercedes Benz) owned Chrysler.

@@Natethegreat200c You’re such an idiot. 😂
@@Natethegreat200c You have no clue what you’re talking about, Fiat has somehow managed to make Chrysler even worse! 😂
Beautiful this Jeep Grand Cherokee

The worst model of Grand Cherokee ever produced

Me too. The WK and WK2 are my personal favorite of the Grand Cherokee. I'd love to find a Limited with the 5.7L HEMI, in blue, black, or red.
My 07 jgc 4wd laredo 3.7 just surpassed 227K and still runs amazing love her! 🦾
@@okjoe5561someone didn’t change their transmission fluid
The last of the real Quadradrive 2 systems.
Best era of the Jeeps 1980s and 1990s

You can thank the government for the implementation of the cylinder deactivation. They do this to meet government fuel economy standards.
Love my 2010 and looks great
I just got a clean title Limited Hemi 2005 Grand for $3500 she a one owner beauty... cant believe they went for 38K 2005 money
How many miles? I found one with 48 k miles. 2006. 5 k. Overland. One owner. Gonna pick it up today lol

Love jeep!!
Never get over 15mpg in mine.. Must not shut off cylinders mentioned
Get the compression ratio up by fitting 6.1 heads and intake.
I get 16/g w 227k still runs amazing never left me stranded ever!
@@lstruggysame. I have 330k miles. Well maintained since new
My diesel 2008 gets 25mpg
05 5.7 jeep 250k strong
This generation was a huge downgrade from the previous one.
How is independent double wishbone suspension and a bigger engine a downgrade?

Someone never drove a hemi
