That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

Turbo Diesel engine is almost as fast as the hemi and averages 25mpg. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

The 4.7L V-8 with 545RFE electronically controlled 5 speed automatic is an adequate performer. It will happily tow a 5,000 pound trailer if properly equipped with the electronic trailer brake controller (not available from the factory). It will acquit itself well in freeway and two-lane road passing situations. It is not a stoplight warrior, though. With the average V-6 automobile now sporting 300HP, the 4.7L Grand Cherokee will be left in the dust on dry pavement. Add a little rain or snow and the situation is reversed. For all normal driving, the high-eight-second 0-60 performance is perfectly adequate, and would have been considered "fast" in the 1980s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

Simply put, the 5.7L Hemi shines brightly in this package. Offering 20 more horsepower than 5.7L engines in the passenger cars, the truck ismuch lighter on its feet than the 300HP 4.7L version offered the same year. Acceleration is crisp when the truck is lightly loaded. It's not sports car fast, but it will run with virtually any average sedan without embarrassing itself. With a load in the bed or hitched to the back, the Hemi's grunt reallyshines. I have hauled trailers in excess of 8,000 pounds with my vehicle, which is properly equipped to handle up to 10,000 pounds. I frequently use the truck for scrap metal runs, as well as trailering medium sized enclosed trailers, and there is never a problem getting the job done, even if the job calls for hauling over unpaved surfaces or through 12" of snow. The truck barely knows that my 2500 pound boat and trailer package is attached until it is time to haul it back up a steep launch ramp at the end of the day, and even then it does well. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

Tons of power in ever gear. Hemi pulls hard up even the steepest grades. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

Pulls hard from idle to redline. AWD provides solid control even when road and weather conditions are poor. There is always abundance of power to pass or power through or out of a turn. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

The factory Goodyear Forterra tires are in a word: excellent. This is the first vehicle I've owned where I've replaced the tires with the factory OE-spec model. They are all-season radials with a fairly aggressive tread, yet they are quiet. They will carry the Grand Cherokee through a foot of snow or drag your boat on the trailerup the launch ramp without a complaint, and they're not bad at soaking up bumps. If you happen to purchase a Grand Cherokee that someone has put different tires on, consider going back to the factory spec tires at your earliest opportunity. They are wonderful. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |
