Just bought a 2018 Altitude and your vid has been the most helpful. Thanks, bro!

[@ThePyroMark]

Glad I can help!

[@DiggingCanuck]

Just bought one..jet black. Love it.

[@xplorefurther]

Nice Review. I am thinking about replacing my Forester with this model. How's your experience driving in snow? (You said it was CT where you filmed this video?)

[@yesischannel6874]

Just bought mine! 4x4 with sunroof! Love it!!!

[@ThePyroMark]

Yesenia H Amazing! ENJOY IT!

[@charlottedogo3967]

I got me a 2018 Grand Cherokee limited 5 months ago 👌👌👌 I love it.

[@HookinFever]

Just bought this jeep as a family truck, and we love it! Its exactly like this one! Really smooth ride

[@ThePyroMark]

That's great! yeah i'm really enjoying mine!

[@HookinFever]

ThePyroMark Have you done any Mods to it? I added dark tint to mine,and ordered weathertech mats

[@ThePyroMark]

Not yet but those are literally the first mods i'm gunna do too! lol How do the tints look?

[@HookinFever]

ThePyroMark I added dark tint on rear windows and front 2 are legal tint,but im thinking of going darker in front, and it really gives it a diffrent look with dark tint!

[@ThePyroMark]

Yeah I think i'm gunna go really dark in the front! thats awesome.. enjoy it

I am so happy with my new 2018 Ivory Tri Coat White Jeep Grand Cherokee!!!

[@simplementeyolanda6433]

Thank you cool video love the chanclas 😅I just got mine yesterday and this helps very informative.🙌🏼🙌🏼💯

[@toddthom4508]

Thanks for the video! Can you tell me what package in the Altitude series this is? I know their are some variations using roman numerals depending on what features are included (the IV has variable traction controls knob in center console for example).

[@ThePyroMark]

Thanks for watching, Todd! This is the 2018 so I'm not familiar with the roman numerals. The High Altitude has the control knob in the center but mine is just the "Altitude" minus the high.

[@itsomar9788]

Hey I have a 2017 Jeep grand Cherokee altitude the back of the car says 4 x 4 I’m assuming it’s 4 x 4 when it’s snowy out automatically because there’s no button for The 4 x 4 I would appreciate it if you could help me with this and let me know the features because my car still slides like it’s not even on 4 x 4

[@Josizzle]

2019 JGC Altitudes have a new HD screen that is flush with the console. I just test drove one today and will be purchasing one but Black on Black.

[@alef6122]

Josizzle never buy new. Wait til 2 years go by. It’ll be 10k cheaper.

[@hugomoran6854]

Helpful video. Just got a 2018 altitude myself. How do I know if the eco mode is off? Is it when the light is on that it's off?

[@ThePyroMark]

that's right! the button actually says ECO off so once its on that means its off.

[@timciryak]

Just bought the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Altitude 4x4 - Metalic Sangria LOVE IT!!! Ceramic top coated and sealed using Ethos Ceramic Wax and Car Guys Hybrid Wax. The wife took it to work this morning. Guess I'll be driving the 2005 Jeep Liberty today. We also have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. We are a Jeep family!

[@arthursmith643]

we just bought one. We had I think it’s been hind Jeep’s. They have there problems like all cars. Never major stuff. Just replace what wears out. Had to put in a torque converter in one at 129,000 miles. $1200.00 dollars but hey it was 129 000 miles.

[@mikebiggs1337]

Great Jeep I bought one myself in grey, when you hit the eco button does that turn it off, I done see any symbols on dash stating eco is on or off

[@ThePyroMark]

The eco button under the radio is turning it off. so if you press it and the light is on... ECO IS OFF* if there is no light.. ECO is on... if you press sport mode, you'll see eco turns off with itu

[@gabev1g17]

Lol I see you with that maxx chewning ghost, inspo for the white grand Cherokee too I assume👀 it’s clean man!

[@nyxsyn]

Good review. Sport does nothing for suspension in the altitude. If you have a model with air suspension, it will lower it to the aero setting. What it does do, like you said is stiffen the steering on the newer models with electronic steering. It also changes how the transmission shifts by holding gears longer.

[@ThePyroMark]

thanks for the info man!

[@prestonlathrop3943]

I thought my stomach was making noises til i realized it was the video hahaha I liked the review though!

[@aikidoboynj]

I love the look I was just worried about the difference in ride quality from the regular fat tires to those you have with a much smaller sidewall. The roads are so bad by me but I've always had cars that had better(stiffer) handling at the expense of ride quality but I'm starting to get tired of feeling the abuse.

[@mikebiggs1337]

Ok thanks a lot so eco is always on unless you hit the button and light is on. Much appreciated

[@ThePyroMark]

Yes, thats correct!

[@donnalopez2126]

If you think it is neat how you change the temperature by sliding the numbers on the screen try the VR button on the steering wheel and just tell it what temperature to set the cabin at, hands free is even cooler.

[@ThePyroMark]

I will definitely try that! Thanks!

[@freddy0064]

Had the same colorway and all but 2017. Love it but the gas is terrible. Is it true the 2018 altitudes come with navi? My 2017 and all 2017 altitudes came with the screen but no Navi. You have only the option of paying 600$ for the Navi app to add to that screen software

[@ThePyroMark]

Yes 2018 comes with Navi

[@KickingIt-In-the-Kitchen]

Where would you rank the altitude as far as top of the line Cherokees, better than the limited , overland? Would love to here where this car ranks.

[@KickingIt-In-the-Kitchen]

Hear* sorry!

[@isitadonkey]

Hows the sound system? I heard you say you got the upgraded speakers

[@ThePyroMark]

Very good, I think it was a 600$ option so it was worth it for me. Loud, bass(y) if you want it like that

[@mattsynth]

I this a V6 or 5.7 Hemi? I have a 2013 Overland with a 5.7 hemi and that is the best part of my car, very fast and fun to drive.

Is there a way I could turn the volume more up it sounds low

[@rayhjr3577]

Really wish the altitude model came with colored stitching like the trailhawk

[@ThePyroMark]

oh man, that would be awesome!

[@aramisproductionsllc.4412]

Hey would you get this jeep or a Durango? I am so undecided between the two, aspects of each I would take to make "one" 🤪🙄🤣✌️ but seriously, I know RT, GT, SXT, 4×4, etc....But maybe this BASE comparison to the Durango "version". 🤔

[@ThePyroMark]

I've absolutely loved this Jeep. No issues at all. Lots of room, decent gas mileage, handles snow great. I literally can't complain about a single thing in my opinion.

[@devronte]

Did you lease? If so what did you put down and what do you pay per month. Thanks!

[@ThePyroMark]

Financed! roughly 12k down and financing about 550/month for 60 months(with max care warranty and wheel tire package)

[@TechTimeMass]

Lease with 1500 down and 398 a month and 12k miles

Where was the 4WD knob? I’m looking to buy a 2018 grand Cherokee and some advertise online 4wd and have the knob by the cup holder and some say 4wd but don’t have them. Is there another spot in certain trims?

[@ThePyroMark]

Hey man, for the "Altitude' which is what I have... there is no knob for 4WD. The 'high altitude' has the knob where you can switch between snow and sand etc.

[@foofstarr4856]

Basically the Limited and up trims off have that level two 4x4. The Altitude is based off the Laredo platform and has a level 1 4x4 so no knob and no custom settings. Just a general auto 4x4 system so.. if ur a serious off roader then look for a Limited and up that has the level two 4x4 setup maybe an Outlander or like he said High Altitude

[@darillfow]

Nice Jeep but I don't understand why there is no button for turning on 4x4? Or is it always in 4x4? Sorry if I sound stupid. My first time looking into this type of Jeep.

[@ThePyroMark]

I felt the same way no worries! It's "Always" in 4x4.

[@darillfow]

@@ThePyroMark Ah I see so it's basically an AWD? If so why are they calling it 4 x 4? lol! Most would call it AWD if it is always in 4 X 4. Interesting.

No sun roof? My 14 altitude has sun roof only thing it's missing is backup camera and navigation

[@ThePyroMark]

I opted to not order one with a sunroof! I had one on a previous car and never used it!

[@techedtmg338]

penguin world order sun roof lowers head room by an inch or 2

[@aikidoboynj]

I like them but I always wonder how all these open roof designs will age since I usually own the cars as long as I can. I always loved T-Tops, once I didn't even know I had a leak until I found a snow mountain in the rear passenger seat.

It's great, worth every penny.

[@reginaalear]

I just got the 19 in the same color. The dealer was trying to charge a extra 5,000 for the one with upgraded sound. I decided to get the one without it and add in my own amp & sub which is $800 installed.

[@ThePyroMark]

Extra 5000?! That's crazy. Dealer option for 650$ for upgraded sound for me on this 18'

[@reginaalear]

ThePyroMark The dealer I purchased mine from would of been about $500 but they sold it the day before I got there. They had one in silver but I really wanted white. I went to another dealer to see about a dealer trade for the one I wanted and they were trying to charge me $5,000 more. I probably could have waited for the right one to come in at the dealer I bought from but I was in a hurry to get out of my Toyota Highlander. The bad part is the dealer who tried to charge me a extra $5,000 I have purchased 6 cars from in the past and sent many customers to. I only had my highlander for 5 months and was able to get out of it for $1 more a month with lifetime unlimited bumper to bumper warranty, Powertrain and gap insurance. I’m very happy with my purchase just really wish I could have got the upgraded sound system. Prior to my Highlander I had a 2017 Grand Cherokee 75th anniversary edition and I immediately regretted trading it in.

[@williamcampos2845]

@@ThePyroMark Hey buddy, great video. We have the same exact car and sadly we are realizing that it is not a 4x4. Definitely check your owners manual but it looks like you may have the same issue. Even though it says 4x4 on the back gate it looks like the true 4x4 models have a LOW/HIGH and Terrain option where the coin/change bins are, right behind the gear shift. I checked out our owners manual and not one page talks about how to switch to 4WD. We also thought that it was because it is constant on 4WD, but there should be at least a way to go from hi to low and there isn't. So, check it out and best of luck. We just found this out and plan to contact the dealership about it.
