Just traded my '18 JLU Wrangler for a 2020 GC Altitude today. My trail buddies will make fun of me, but I'm in my 60's so comfort and luxury is now my priority.
I Am A 76 Year Old Man and I've had my 2018 JGC. ALT. 5 Years now. It's Great. I'll keep it until 2045. THE Cargo Cover Is Standard Equipment. I only have 28,000 miles on my JEEP.
I have the same car and I love it. Only thing is a month to having mine it started doing an extended crank issue. It was the fuel pressure regulator or something like that. It being under warranty they fixed it and so far so good. I hope it remains reliable. Curious to know if anyone else has had any issues, or was it just my wonderful luck.
Interesting, did your car drive different when you had that issue? So far, the only issue I had was the remote start. The battery sensor was bad but they replaced it under warranty as well.
Road to Millions it wouldn’t start sometimes. It would just do an extended crank. Once it would start it was fine when I drove it. It was awful and I was so upset that my brand new car was doing this. I hope I don’t have anymore issues
Road to Millions I wasn’t sure at first if I wanted to do it until I saw a picture of one that had the black grill. I knew then I had to go ahead and do it. I think they should of came standard with the black since everything else is.
reginaalear i guess they left it silver that way you can tell the difference between a stock altitude grill and a stock high altitude grill, which comes already blacked out .
Bought the 2020 Altitude a couple months ago. Mine came with the LED and sunroof and winter package, otherwise identical. Very happy indeed. Dude, you have a really heavy foot for that mileage. Through this winter I averaged 18mpg, but for the last 2 weeks since it's gotten warmer and with summer tires back on, I'm doing over 20mpg, easy! Oh, and check out the OFF ROAD PAGES on the UConnect, it's awesome, tells you all kinds of awesome stuff about the car, angles, oil pressure/temp, trans, everything.
Nice man congrats! Haha yeah my heavy foot doesn’t help with the gas mileage but here in Miami we get a lot of stop and go traffic which definitely worsens the gas mileage as well (but most of the time is my heavy foot 😅) .. I’ll check those pages out! Thanks man. Enjoy the jeep!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Hope to get out of my Lexus RC to a GC Altitude by next Friday. Especially now knowing my golf bag is gnna fit with ease lol
DMI Wezzy I agree! Nothing HID bulbs can’t fix. Other than that, the car is amazing. The High Altitude model comes with the LED lights but it does put you over 40k.
Thanks for the review, my Wife is looking to get on this week. We are trying to see whats the best price we can get it with all the incentive going on right now. Enjoy the ride!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the review! You just need to go back and forth with a few dealerships to get the lowest price. If you need a cargo cover for the Jeep, use the link I provided in the description!
Um, no. I got the 2020 Altitude, and there is an option to get sunroof and LED lighting for a couple grand extra, which is what I got. yes, it was an upsell, and the guy actually tried to talk me out of it cuz he had the colour on the lot I wanted, but I wanted it and he had to go get it lol. 0miles on the sucker!
Thanks! The sound system is really good actually! Maybe the alpine sound system might sound a bit more crisp but I don’t know how much of a difference it will make.
I have a 2019 Altitude, i just started to hear a bang in the trans when shifting from park to drive most times level ground an also on incline or decline!! Anyone else have this issue? i have about 4K in miles?
Oh man. Not good! We have around the same amount of miles as you and haven’t had this issue. Take it to the dealership, any issues should be covered under warranty.
I totally agree with you! I purchased the same car in granite metallic after trading in my 14 Jeep Wrangler. So far I’m loving everything about it but the headlights. Really considering either swapping them or just doing LEDS. Also, thanks for the link for the cover! My dealership claimed that since I got the car so many dollars below MSRP, they were not able to throw in the cover unless they charged close to $200 for it! Hope you enjoy your new ride!

Hey man, nothing wrong with comfort and luxury. It’s been around 6 months of ownership so far for us and we love the GC Altitude!

ah got it. I am glad it's fixed! Enjoy the car!
We are shopping right now. Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful review! This was exactly what I wanted/needed to see. Much appreciated!
Kelli Byrnes that’s great to hear! Glad I was able to help! Enjoy the new car!
I have one just like this. I changed my grill out last week and I love it!
reginaalear nice!

reginaalear I’ll have to look into it and see the pictures. Maybe I do the same 👀

What dealer did you get this one from? From South FL as well and was between Planet Dodge or Arrigo up in sawgrass
I went to Arrigo because I kept hearing them on the radio. I was ready to leave and they came back and gave me what I wanted!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Hope to get out of my Lexus RC to a GC Altitude by next Friday. Especially now knowing my golf bag is gnna fit with ease lol
Hahaha anytime man!
Excellent review, I'm thinking of getting either an 18 or 19 Altitude, does your come w/ a hitch or not all of them do?
Thank you! Mine didn’t come with a hitch
No sunroof?
I’m buying same car in the next couple days only thing I don’t like is the head lights arnt led. How ever I guess HID bulbs will work
DMI Wezzy I agree! Nothing HID bulbs can’t fix. Other than that, the car is amazing. The High Altitude model comes with the LED lights but it does put you over 40k.

you have to move up to the High Altitude Model to get the LED headlights.... nothing but an upsell for Jeep
Um, no. I got the 2020 Altitude, and there is an option to get sunroof and LED lighting for a couple grand extra, which is what I got. yes, it was an upsell, and the guy actually tried to talk me out of it cuz he had the colour on the lot I wanted, but I wanted it and he had to go get it lol. 0miles on the sucker!
freethinker4liberty good deal! I think I will look for a package like that !
Should I go for this Jeep Grand Cherokee or wait for the redesign?
If you don’t mind waiting then I would wait. The interior of the new Grand Cherokee was leaked and it looks insane!
@@MilliRoad Do you know when it will be released?
Great review. How is the speaker sound quality. I really do not want to pay for the alpine sound system :)
Thanks! The sound system is really good actually! Maybe the alpine sound system might sound a bit more crisp but I don’t know how much of a difference it will make.
Milli Road awesome! Thanks :)
SamrSaho you’re welcome!

Same, man. It’s a Jeep though, I’m sure this is normal. I know it was normal in my Lexus suv, even said it in the manual but definitely get it checked
This 4WD??
Not ours specifically but you can opt to get it
It looks like you're in Miami. I grew up in South Florida!
Haha you guessed it right!
This man started a RUclips channel god help us all
You know you love it ;)

You're welcome about the the link for the cover! Dealers will be dealers am I right? Enjoy your new ride as well and enjoy the cover! haha
14.5 average for a V6? Wow! You DO have a heavy foot!
Lol trust me, V6s waste a lot of gas. My v8 Camaro has better gas mileage
Imagine having to wonder if your golf clubs will fit in the trunk of an suv
😂😂😂 hey you never know! Haha
I'm looking at the car but I'm also looking at him too. Handsome Guy.
