Just an info: This is built off a new platform that is not shared with the Durango (the Durango is actually shared with the last-gen WK2 Grand Cherokee). This is built from an Alfa Giorgio platform, which means this is also the first Grand Cherokee that is a CUV.
@RellupNorth2 жыл бұрын
GC was the among the first unibody vehicles when it debuted in 1992. Its always been a CUV, and furthermore the last gen was based off of the GLE chassis which is also a CUV
@lanceislateagain2 жыл бұрын
@@RellupNorth unibody =/= CUV. CUV means crossover, means shared platform and architecture with a car. The previous model uses a derivative of the GLE for a platform, but to my knowledge does not share the architecture with anything other than the Durango. And of course, it goes without saying that the previous GCs, with their solid axles, do not share a platform and architecture with any cars at the time.

@tinafrancis9272 жыл бұрын
The unibody platform Durango is being retired soon. Dodge is moving it back to a truck platform to make it a full size suv. It will be built on the Wagoneer’s chassis and share many components with it. I suspect it will be a less-posh variant of the Wagoneer at more affordable price; while the Wagoneer will be the upmarket choice and the Grand Wagoneer will be the luxury option. The Durango will compete with Tahoe, Wagoneer to Yukon Denali and Grand Wagoneer to the Escalade. That is my forecast, anyway.
@kaiichinose95903 жыл бұрын
Another amazing video. I was able to drive one today and love it. RIP DURANGOfor sure. The Durango even with its slight refresh pails in comparion. Now you do have to mention the other trim levels of the GCL because this car easily gets up to 65k especially on the Summit and Summit Reserve trim levels. And there are 3 different types of leather, the GCL limited gets a base leather with the option of perforated or non perforated and the overland and summit models get nappa leather and the summit reserve gets the Palermo leather and massage seats and some other interior surfaces are added with more leather. Also The 5.8l v8 only can be optioned with the Overland, summit and summit reserve model and that starts at 54k before optioning with the 5.7 v8 which is an additional 3k. You mentioned the Wagoneer and they are bringing that back and it will be the best big SUVcomparing to the Tahoe, and Expedition and even the Escalade starting at a whopping 87k. But from what ive seen that wagoneer is pure luxury. Good job JEEP.

I loved it until I didn’t. The interior was so luxurious and it had such a smooth ride. It was loaded up. Then At 38000 miles the engine starting sputtering intermittently for no rhyme or reason. It would happen every so often. They could never figure it out. So I got rid of it and never bought a Jeep again. My friend had one and had an electrical problem they could never figure out. Too bad cuz I think they are the best looking truck out there. But looking good isn’t good enough.

Oh no, what is Jeep doing? Looks nice, but a 3.6 naturally aspirated is kind of sad. The last Jeep Grand Cherokee I had (2008 Laredo ) had a 3.7 Twin Turbo. Other thing I noticed that is irritating (a lot of auto manufacturers are doing the same thing) is the lighter upper part of the interior. I like black interiors and I'm a bit OCD, so when manufacturers do that lighter upper half (light grey, tan, beige, so on) it bugs me and looks cheep, like a lack of attention to detail.

Don't know that we will ever own one. If I understand correctly the V6 is the only engine available. To me the wheel n tire combo can make or break just about any vehicle. Got a pickup or SUV of any model or year, put good looking wheels and widest tires that will fit and changes it's whole attitude about it's self. Wife recently had a Mercedes GL550 with 295-40-21 tires and wheels and like lookin at it parked, driving it for no other reason than just the drive. Nearly 500hp and also like to be behind it following wife down the road. So with all the engines in Jeep inventory and all you can get in the biggest Jeep is that V6. Maybe saves a few bucks but throw in Hemi and the fatter tires and then scope it out. Just curious as to how many like to drive with right hand on a SHIFTER. A knob for turning on the headlights just doesn't get it done. Passed up killer deal on Jag sedan because of that knob. All these things are just my opinions but we have owned over 200 rides since my first car, '66 Mustang in 1972. Still have it. Out of the 200+ rides only one new one, uh oh, it was a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lemon model. Really liked Jeeps and still do but just got unlucky on that one. SO, like this new model Jeep but if you're gonna go big doesn't big engine and big rubber make sense?
