2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Test Drive & Review

[@tylerimcooldude25]

One of the absolute best reviews I've seen. Knowledgeable, witty, smart. Great job! Showcased everything the Suv has to offer and more!

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoy our work and hope you check out our channel..:) Steve

[@urbanmister]

Steve, production quality of your videos are top notch and continually raise the bar. Impressive!

[@Sleepygrinder]

Very cool effects, nice camera work and great review. Thanks, it's very entertaining. It shows that you put efforts into it.

[@markmarshall39]

best car review's on youtube, gotta love the guy

[@yearlytrust1]

Actually, no - you don't have to love the guy. Classic telling moment: when he sings "I just put it in track mode." lol. Should have retired from selling cars years ago and why he ever switched from selling timeshares is beyond me. (singing) "I just sold you on Cancun." lol. Great video editing, though - very skilled. Too bad they couldn't edit this guy back to his first day of selling Caddy's in 1984.

[@srk7555]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy our work..:) Steve

[@mariejohnson9600]

Some of the best reviews on KZbin!

[@DANLAROCA-dx9gk]

Great review as always

[@GOINFINITI]

You make the best reviews - keep up with the great work!

[@jamespayne4459]

Well Steve, Gotta tell ya man. I really enjoyed your review. It coulda went a little deeper but you covered the visceral engagement of the vehicle in an engaging and humorous manner and your voice is unique and compelling, a trait all too often missing from those who do the job. It's above my paygrade, but it was nice to ride along. Thanks

[@kotennoy]

This reviewer needs more viewers! Its the best!

[@Legendzzz007]

Man that exhaust note is addictive! Great review mate.

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot! You're awesome for watching our videos and sending us such a nice compliment..:) Steve

[@srk7555]

Thanks. Bob told me he spent four days working on that effect. He never ceases to amaze me! Glad you enjoy it..:) Steve

[@BMWDRE10]

If this isn't THE coolest car review EVER, compared to these other "professional car reviewers", I don't know what is. Love the split screen of the Base G.C. to the SRT-8 model. Five-Stars Steve!

[@srk7555]

Thank you so much for your very kind and gracious words, thoughts and sentiments. I truly appreciate them. I can tell from your own videos that you are on the path of enlightenment and I wish you great happiness and success along the way. Enjoy..:) Steve

[@oaklandcar]

Fantastic video and great job with the video editing!!

[@Bittertokken]

Another good one. Loves these reviews!

[@bttawfiq]

Excellent review Sir with an equally excellent video editing

[@srk7555]

Thanks for your kind words! Glad you found us...:) I'll have to have Bob get back to you regarding his camera rig. I believe he uses a combination of duct tape, Super Glue and a cinderblock...but I could be wrong...about the Super Glue. Stay tuned because we have a lot more coming your way..:) Steve

[@srk7555]

It's the resolution of the video production. 4K is actually the equivalent of 4 x 1080p. I've been told it's basically the industry standard used in the movies you see at the theater. We use the Scarlet model of a RED (brand) camera. Check it out on Google when you get a chance. It's pretty cool. It's also why, when you watch the video in the "original" resolution it can take a while to download and play. Thanks for watching our video..:) Steve

[@TheGetawayer]

The sound is epic and the special effect was great ! Steve's my idol and rolemodel as a reviewer... I'd love to know how it behaves on the german Autobahn...Don't see too many Jeeps here anymore, since people that bought them in the 90s, now go for X5s and Cayennes... Another great great review ! Cheers from germany, TheGetawayer

[@meisbepat]

I love my 07 SRT8. Only thing that sucks is the terrible gas mileage, but it's power more than makes up for that. Wish they would have kept the center exit exhaust on the 2012.

[@stevenbrooking5765]

Just bought one of these yesterday. Very happy. Fast as a shark.

[@kushil]

Love your reviews... Keep up the good work.

[@ExiledExia]

You man, make the sickest reviews out there! You should have your own 'Top Gear' !

[@NewEra0G]

I was able to test drive all the Jeep lines all day but man the SRT8 is ridiculous with it's 470HP, fastest thing I have EVER drove, very comfortable by the way too..I'd love to buy one...beautiful truck!

[@TomDeVito]

Steve ur reviews are awesome :D.

[@IKhanNot]

Because this channel is too real for most people. Fanboys would starve here because Steve doesn't spew a bunch of numbers and doesn't have a bias towards any of the vehicles he tests. People here keep it civilized on the comment boards which is unheard of on YT.

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot for your very sincere concern. Seriously... I really appreciate it. I know it seems that I'm "reckless" in my driving habits... but please rest assured that safety on these video shoots is my number one priority. The last thing I'd ever want is to have an accident on the job or at any time I'm on the road. It's just that the editing makes me seem like I just drive "hands free". But that does give me a great idea for an upcoming video shoot!!! Thanks...:) Steve

[@nhsandrade]

Hi Steve, I came across this channel not long ago, and I must admit I'm already a HUGE fan. I'm my opinion you're one of the best automotive presenters there is, very nice work. Well, as a automotive photographer, I am very impressed with the steadiness of the filming, specially on the inside. Could you please tell me what kind of support you are using, and perhaps, what brand? You can send me a message if you want it privately. Thanks and keep this great work coming, for Christ sake!

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot. We appreciate it your kind words..:) Steve

[@8weapons]

awesome review! l uv that SRT8

[@sky2233]

"I just put it in track mode" :D

[@TonyTube407]

Great special effects. Very funny. Two thumbs way up!!!

[@tommyisaboss]

Good thing mine is coming in this month. And there are a few in the stuttgart area. There is one dealer down here that sells them.

[@CUMHOLDDEZ]

By far one of your coolest fucking video's ever!!! the transition between the standard cherokee to the srt was fucking superb

[@Turppa21]

Your good at these, keep it up

[@h4u123]

one of the best and sexiest car reviews out there....

[@mohammadfiruzmustapha9965]

Thank you.. Loving every bit of your review

[@TheCarVlogger]

"I put it in track mode" ahha lol, I love this guy, fantastic review and amazing special effects!!

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot. The real accolades belong to Bob for all of his great camera work and insanely creative video editing. He's the true "star" behind the scenes..:) Steve

[@EVILGOKU1986]

Awesome vid and great transition. Will you do the dodge charger srt?, anyway Awesome vid love the exhaust note truly the money shot, never get tired of hearing that everyday

[@glasergf1970]

This guy needs his own show.

[@jeton001]

yes they were thanks for reminding of that too, simply they were the best at everything.

[@LordFilbo]

Love the sound of the car

[@nhsandrade]

Thanks a lot Steve! Regards from Brazil!!

[@garyrielly1955]

What an AWESOME VIDEO Steve. After watching this video I am leaning more toward getting myself the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 instead of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7 Hemi. The towing capacity drops a little over 500kg between the two but I really don't think that it will stop me buying a SRT.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks!!! I believe once you drive the SRT...the choice will be an easy one..:) Steve

[@TheF15ace]

Awesome review

[@CatchM3x]

Any chance you could do a video of an outgoing e92 m3 coupe (alpine white)? please put this into consideration as it would be an awesome car for one of your videos!

[@breezewood64]

Great vehicle and great video. I was especially moved by the 30 mpg calculations! :0)

[@Moe89kh]

awesome cinematography

[@srk7555]

To niesamowite urządzenie! To ma taki agresywny styl i tyle przyjemności z jazdy. Dzięki za oglądanie naszego filmu .. :) Steve

[@Mikelaren101]

Take into consideration the new Mercedes AMG SUV lineup? ML63? G63? Upcoming GL63? Or the monster G65?

[@srk7555]

Yes it does. Some of the finest. That's the beauty of it. But since the SRT8 has been lowered just a bit...you do lose a little ground clearance. None-the-less... it will take care of you no matter what your driving conditions are. Thanks watching our video..:) Steve

[@allstarz69z]

Effects was mind blowing

[@Bittertokken]

I did after I first discovered these reviews!

[@matthewslaughter6804]

Make more videos o 2020 cars 🚗 Rosenthal please i really enjoy your reviews...

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

We actually just filmed our first 2021 video for ya which we'll be posting in a few days. Thanks for your kind words and we hope you tell your friends about our channel..:) Steve

[@EdwardSinclair]

Hehehe, for a moment there you had me going at 30 mpg... I was asking myself how they managed that for a good minute, because I kept rewinding to make sure I heard 30 mpg...

[@Vukmon]

What camera you use for insane 4K resolution recording?

[@BarakaGitari]

How the hell have I not found this b4? subbing

[@h4u123]

how much gas did it cost you to make that video lol, love your math by the way.... wonder why you are not in TOP Gear or have your own tv car show it will be great, love your videos and reviews keep them coming my friend... great work

[@gitaklu1]

What is interesting is even though the truck was overloaded and faced such a severe manuver, blowing tires and all the jeep still doesn't tip and even stays inside the cones. So I guess that says something for American Engineering. Also notice this magazine didn't try this test with the SRT8

[@skin13ify]

He said it all I love that jeep but my all time favorite is the wrangler :)

[@ACS402010]

Awesome review. Thanks!

[@crane5161]

That was an awesome video!! I loved it! And guess what! I'll be order a 2013 Grand Cherokee SRT8 Black on black fully loaded. B-)

[@Gurjaaneli]

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT JEEP WAS DECEPTICON!

[@yummy1234098]

i love how every review ive seen of the SRT Cherokee all the reviewers always start smiling when they step on it lol

[@sodmony]

great channel

[@102ashrafc]

Always been a fan of the SRT lineup except the SRT-4s

[@DaddyIvo]

Love this vehicle...Love this video...

[@srk7555]

Thanks. We appreciate it..:) Steve

[@ranjitgrewal5648]

Looks very ML. LOL 30mpg, you got me on that one! Ill be the first to by a couple of these for my staff in India when it launches out here.

[@SkylerDees]

Where's the 4K or HD option?

[@DAVESGOLFMK4]

is this now the least powerful sport 4x4 ?

[@alexsiul1142]

does it really still have off-road ability?

[@Rinconmaniac]

The perma smile says it all :)

[@srk7555]

I'll take that as a compliment...especially since I've been playing the drums since I was eight..:) He's one of my favorite drummers along with Carl Palmer, Tommy Aldridge, Rod Morgenstein, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson, etc. etc. Check out our "Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival" video ad when you get chance. I'm playing the drumset I've had since I was 12 years old in it...and the song is an original from a band I was in. Love drumming and Love my Ludwigs..:) Steve

[@KhalilCora]

Love this review it's been awhile I've been waiting. I always like the srt model for jeep but I know it's a gas guzzeler cause I drove the 2012 charger and I could never get it to half a tank just tooooo expensive lol and I live in nyc.

[@mikealanzo]

:) Hey man, sorry for the uncalled snap, I was like itchy and scratchy back then :) but we're cool now, and I totally get your point there, but still, wth, it's a awesome car, all it needs (as you pointed out) is an upgrade to the software and the glitch is taken care of. But it kinda saddens me that Chrysler is keeping it on the downlow, they oughta get cracking and get on with it! Anyway, I'm glad we both agree that we both would pick this one over a volvo any day :) You be cool / Mike

[@timorgano]

I agree. Steve is MUCH better than any of the TGUSA guys. Maybe I'd keep Adam for comic relief though.

[@TheGarvito]

I like your math skillz

[@srk7555]

The Scarlet model of the RED camera line. Thanks for watching..:) Steve

[@mohammedalhamrani4079]

i like your show man ^^

[@srk7555]

Thanks a lot! It really does sound great..:) Steve

[@johan21678]

Nah, that mag have made the same test for over 30 years. Jeep seems to have screwed up their the numbers when they registrated the new model in Sweden. Max weight where higher then it should. And the mag just used the numbers Jeep had registrated.

[@Raeppl]

THE SOUND OF THE V8!!!! :DDD

[@Bassonni]

can someone pls say how much liters it consume on 100km?

[@srk7555]

Thanks so much for your "love" and support..:) We really appreciate it. Bob and I just endured over 100 degree heat today filming our next video... The 2013 Acura RDX. But don't tell anyone because it's a "secret". I hope you enjoy it as much as we did (sans heat) making it. My vehicle of choice...well...let's just say that pushing a Yugo to work on a daily basis is not out of the question..:) Please be sure to check out all of our latest videos as well. Thanks..:) Steve

[@mustafamohammed7944]

I need your help my jeep liberty keeps on heating up to red what is the problem

[@TomDeVito]

mustafa mohammed Did you check the coolant level?

[@mustafamohammed7944]

Yeah thank god I did and know it's running perfectly thank u for the reply

[@TomDeVito]

mustafa mohammed Awesome. And anytime :)

[@smokeyhotpotable]

nice exhaust noise!

[@srk7555]

Well... I never really thought of it that way until now..:) Steve

[@oaklandcar]

Got to love it !!

[@Rage4Liberty]

WOW WOW I searched it. Could ot believe the difference!!!

[@CHUUMPASS]

boy this bad boy sounds like it is going to rip the tarmac up to open up a direct access to hell. what an amazing machine the new GC SRT8 is ! i'd certainly take it over both the Cayenne Turbo as well as the ML63AMG... oh , and i'm german i may add. the American big three have upped their game tremendously on all fronts in recent years !

[@TheCarVlogger]

Don't know where you got your numbers buddy, but the X5M does a 4.1 0-60 while the Jeep does a 4.6 and the Cayenne Turbo gets a 4.3, so the Jeep is the slowest of the bunch, but also the cheapest.

[@ThreeeAngles]

Thanks for your comment!

[@sainteustatious]

does this guy own all of these dealerships?

[@mikealanzo]

sweet..... and not to mention the new 8gear auto.....

[@patrick5083090833]

theres never a dislike, thats says alot about how they do things ;)

[@virendradr]
