My X5 slipped in the rain and snow also. I've been through 2 winters with the GC and the commercials don't lie. I feel completely in control and safe in the GC in extreme weather conditions.

Funny enough i traded in my 09 X5 SPORT for an '11 Overland. Half the price and the QuadraTrac II systems living in Illinois was a must. My x5 was great from a structural stand point. I love german engineering and BMW's particularly. the GC came with all the important options the X5 did. The maintenance is great on BMW, i had 3 prior to the GC but lease a BMW. Once that 50k/4y hits.. ugh. The ext. warranty on the GC cost my $900 compared to 3K plus. To each their own though. Good Luck.

@M5Marco Thanks very much. It's my understanding that Quadra Drive II is only for V8 models.

The only misspeak I noticed was that the Garmin Nav is not an "after marker" rig, instead it's actually a software package added to the same head unit. You can get no nav, with the screen as shown in the review, a Garmin nav software package which is truly the best option, or Jeep's more proprietary nav software which is worse in its execution, however, adds some voice features that the Garmin level doesn't have. Skip the voice and go with the Garmin level, for sure.

@steve9509 Some are purpose-built just for press fleets. After about 10,000 miles they either go to the crusher or up for sale within the company.

Thank God Jeep didn't take the GC down market as far as Ford did with the Explorer. I don't think anyone, even Jeep die-hards, would have tolerated a wrong-wheel-drive GC with a sideways mounted engine!! Jeep is still the one and only best SUV in the world! Ford might as well just shut down Explorer production now before they get embarassed any more...

thanks a lot for the input, i think im goin pull the trigger on the GC once my house is finished being built!!! but you have a good point cuz i already own a c-class benz and i love german vehicles but i dont need the bill for service work for 2 german cars and a house note. #thinksmart and jeep is on the ml platform anyhow so i dont feel like a total traitor :) !!!

@a7x5631 I know. If you'll notice, all the factory '11 Explorer videos have women describing it while all the Jeep vids have men. That's the difference. Men designed the GC while women designed the Explorer. That's why the '11 Ex is a cheesy, wrong-wheel-drive, watered down, emasculated version of its former self while the GC is better than ever!
