I have a 2016 with 98,000 miles. Best and most reliable vehicle I have ever had so far. No issues.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Cool, great to hear

[@curtisww33]

@@GlennsCarCollection Thank you. Also, thank you for the review.

[@avocadotortilla4991]

Wow, no issues what so ever on your JGC? Which model did you buy the way...

[@Scorpioking1987]

You just inspired me to buy one, great job on making effective presentations

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@healthynewyourecipes2678]

Great suv , we own one and are very happy with it.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Glad to hear

[@RossEnzo]

Very similar to our 2012 ML350 4-Matic, back in early 2012 we cross shopped the Grand Cherokee. Really enjoyed the 5.7 V8 that was in the Limited one we drove. Wasn't impressed with the material quality of the interior and the infotainment looked like something out of a 2005 300C. Not to mentioned the Limited Grand Cherokee 5.7 came in arms reach of our current ML price-wise, suffice to say we ended up with the ML and 7 years 150k miles we couldn't be much happier. After looking at the new GLE with that truly HORRID "Hey-Mercedes feature" I think we'll be giving Jeep a second chance when the new Wagoneer arrives. Great video! Love to see the more pedestrian cars, now you just need more electrics on this channel.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great comment, sounds good

[@angry519]

Silly.

[@DJRBush12]

I just bought a 2017 jeep grand cherokee limited best suv ever, puts a smile on my face every time I drive

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great choice

[@dawnscott8164]

I just bought this thanks for the review

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Glad I could help

[@natemiller1392]

2016 Limited with the Lux 2 package - about 21mpg with mostly highway driving. So far it's been a really good SUV except for a contaminated cooling system which had to be completely replaced but it was under warranty. That was a $3,500 repair.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Good thing it was under warranty. Update video coming soon

[@PL-mu1cp]

I have a 2017 JGC Limited, 3.6 V6, almost 30K on it. not one problem. It's my Daily driver. The 2021 will be on an Alpha platform, I'll keep mine that on the MBZ platform, ZF trans and pentastar V6. It's the perfect size SUV and great for road trips.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great comment. I agree, perfect size and we use it for road trips all the time

[@cheapme1850]

I’m on the same page. I’m not an early adopter (guinea pig) person so I prefer the well-tested 4th Gen version. I also saw the new GC L and while I expect the two row version will be significantly smaller, I still expect it will be noticeably larger than the current version. The 3rd Gen actually was the perfect size to me but it rode like a truck compared to the new 2019 I bought.

[@Mike44C]

Nice review, thanks

[@GlennsCarCollection]

thanks for watching and subscribing, Mike. Happy New Year !

[@tomtalker2000]

After my 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD shits the bed. I'm looking at a 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited with the V6 blue exterior gray interior. Beautiful color combo and upgrade in size and having everything i'll need in a vehicle.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great comment. Before the 2019 Jeep JC we had a 2014 Limited in Blue. it looked great.

[@paulm6481]

Nice review. I have a 2011 with 112,000 miles. Yeah it is first year and five speed transmission but same Pentastar engine. It is a solid practical vehicle. Most issues don’t happen till 60,000 miles or after. I have a extended Mooar warranty that took care of them with 100 dollar deductible. Oil pump leak, radiator leak, both replaced. Still engine and transmission solid and love interior and ride

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great daily. Check out my 5 year review or our previous 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[@paulm6481]

@@GlennsCarCollection I watched it. Good review. At the end of the day you bought another one :) As someone who owned a 5 series one time, I find the repair bills refreshingly low. I have had my share as I stated before (transmission intercooler replacement of 1,200 and oil pump another 1,200). Actually I have other things go bad too lol. Trick for Jeeps is MOPAR extended warranty. I got a lifetime warranty in 2011 (they were offering it because they were in dire financial circumstances post bankruptcy). Even now you can buy one for 2000 for 120,000 miles or 10 years. I think its worth it. Accepted at all Jeep dealers in the nation, 100 dollars deductible. Honestly, if you want to save money and not replace cars, it is a great deal.

[@evoben24]

Can’t wait to get one of these used!

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Good luck !

[@curtisww33]

Buy it new at the end of the year or look for a new 2019. It will be a much better buy than a used one. I bought a 2016 in Nov 2016 and paid $5,000 less than a used one. Of course this was a steal and probably a once in a lifetime buy, but I have been looking for a 2019 and have found great deals.

[@avocadotortilla4991]

@curtisww33 how much did you pay for yours? & what model is it?

[@krzysztofoleksij]

i just bought the same car only walnut brown, but same interior. im getting it delivered on thursday and im extatic ....cant wait

Longer term review 2004 jeep grand Cherokee daily driver, best on and off road I have ever had

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Go to hear. I had a 2004 as well

[@cheapme1850]

I just bought virtually the same vehicle. The Luxury Group II option gives you a lot of the upgrades that are in the higher level Overland trim level without the concerns associated with the air suspension or 20” tires. This package is very rare and hard to find and they go quick on the used car market.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Yes, congrats

[@jv8296]

Have a 2018 and have never thought it was difficult to plug into the USB's because of the shifter....

[@pedromarrero9572]

I recently drove a rental trailhawk for about a week and I agree that plugging into the USB is a pain in the butt!!

[@NCF8710]

I have a 2016 JGC Overland with the 5.7 Hemi. There are 59,000 miles on it and it will be needing tires and brakes this year. Winter mileage varies between 20 - 21 mpg. Summer mileage varies between 22 - 24 mpg. About 60% of the miles are highway and the rest a mix of rural and city. (I leave it in ECO mode). I have had zero issues with this vehicle. I would not hesitate to buy another.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Sounds great!

[@angry519]

I hate eco mode

[@stephencannon3140]

For the U-Connect NAV portion....... is there a way to set the NAV to go straight into “View Map” mode instead of sweating NAV then another entry (button ouch) to set up Map View mode?

[@patronk]

You can set the AC to “Max ac” under climate in the uconnect

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Cool, thank you !

[@109rfan1]

Spot on I had the 15 grand Cherokee Laredo and hated the shifter Other thing I hated was going in for an oil change and needing a four hour computer update.

[@FlyingSparks12336]

Over MSRP ended up trading to go back to a pickup It suited my needs better

Here in Europe I can get a 2020 stock JGC Overland 3.0 CRD (6 cil / 250 hp) brand new 0 Km for 52.000-54.000 € (that is a great discount in Europe, but still more expensive than in the USA). Keeping that in mind, would any of you guys suggest to purchase the JGC Overland for 52-54K € or better go for an Audi, BMW, Merc...? 🤔

I prefer the German brands as long as they are under warranty

Eco mode good thing or not effective?

[@megabyte7047]

@@user-ii5dx8wh5f It shows, with Eco Mode on, I would get 17.4 MPG and with it off, 16.5, so it saves you a gallon per mile, but shifts weird. Gas is cheap now, so I'm not worried about it being off.

[@user-ii5dx8wh5f]

@@megabyte7047 I understand you, that is, it is better to ride without this mode because there is little saving. I turn this mode on in traffic in the city, and turn it off on the highway

[@cpiscopo1]

I have a 2018 Overland which is fairly reliable mechanically but the motor for the air suspension blew the second week I bought the vehicle and scared the daylights out of me when it abruptly sank. Motor was replaced and its fine but this car is becoming an electronic nightmare. Tire pressure monitor stopped working (literally disappeared on the dash) along with the automatic high beams, and the start/stop mechanism failed and the dashboard reads "start/stop not ready battery charging. Another annoyance is the buttons on the steering wheel are easily interfered with when you make a turn and suddenly you're looking at a digital speedometer instead of the analog one that I prefer. The worst part of it is you can't change it while driving as the dash clearly says it can't be changed while driving yet it can accidentally change when you make a turn. Finally the bright chrome strip on the lid for the console compartment reflects sunlight right into the drivers eyes during spring and summer when the sun is higher in the sky. I have to place a strip of tape over it to prevent it but you would think that they would have changed that in the nine years of this edition of the Grand Cherokee. Seems like every 5,000 miles when I go in for oil changes they have to fix something. Definitely going to dump it before the bumper to bumper warranty ends unless I can get a really good deal on an extended warranty. Bottom line is I should have leased it instead of buying it.

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Sorry to hear that

[@cheapme1850]

That’s why I preferred the Limited with just a regular spring suspension. The Luxury Group II package gives a lot of the goodies that come with the Overland without the worries of the air suspension.

[@brotha1984]

That's why I'm cool with my base model Laredo 2018 it have everything I wanted like rear back up sensor and camera android auto optional sport and eco mode good enough for

[@zroscigno]

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Hey Glenn. So last few weeks I've been thinking of getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee so I decided to rent one on Turo for a few days to try it out. I rented a 2019 Limited. There's nothing wrong with it but personally it just feels monstrous and heavy. Once it's cruising on the highway its fine, but in city streets it just feels like I'm driving a boat. Maybe its just me because I've been driving sedans for a long time or is it maybe just the 2019 models? Is it just something you have to get use to or are any of the 2020 or 2021 models better improved?

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Hi, yes it is bulky around town. I am used to sedans and sports cars. It dos feel big, it is big. It you have open roads were you live its probably fine but if you have a lot of tight turns maybe a sedan would be better.

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

@@GlennsCarCollection do you know if there are certain years or trims of this generation GC that are lighter weight?

[@ricanredliner]

I’ve owned 4 Grand Cherokees. Great suv all around. I loved my 2015 limited I now have a 2019 altitude. They really stepped up the Laredo model too for 2019 got the wife a Laredo with the X package which basically gives it the full interior of a altitude model and the rims from a limited. Great package for the price

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Great buy. Update video coming soon

[@deanalbertson2050]

To me, it seems like buying a car is better than leasing one.

[@chrisauriazul2203]

Always! Leasing is like long term rental. Too many restrictions.

Are those lease payment with any money down

[@GlennsCarCollection]

minimal down, maybe $1,500 ?

[@matthewvalentinas]

How much down to get that lease rate? $4,000?

I believe we put less than that down. We bought it on New Years Eve so we got about $8k off MSRP

Sales tax in New Jersey is cheap compare to California.

[@yossikolman6263]
