The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is a SLEEPER | Review and 0-60

[@JeffeyBarney]

This 6.1 Hemi has to be underrated. A stock 2018 SRT Jeep runs about the same, but has 70 (reported) HP more. The 18' also has a Slick 8 speed...

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Yeah, for sure! These 6.1 are stout! I just posted a 6.4 Jeep wrangler, very sketchy, but very fun lol. 😂

[@jeffrey3498]

You get to have all the fun 😎👍 I had a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS with a LS2 Corvette engine. I was going to supercharge it but things fell apart and I had to sell it. It was 42k MSRP too, but I got a great deal because a friend of mine owned a Chevy dealership. One of the best vehicles I ever owned. AWD, leather interior, navigation (big deal back then). This Jeep review brought back a lot of memories. 😃👍

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Yeah, this one was definitely a lot of fun! Oh wow, that’s really cool! I’ve never driven a TBSS but have always thought those and the similar year Silverado SS were pretty neat! I’m glad it brought back some memories. 😀

[@slickfn5594]

Did you ls3 swap? I thought those had the ls2

[@jeffrey3498]

@@slickfn5594 You're right, thanks for pointing that out. It was LS2.I stand corrected.

[@RyanVerberne]

can you tell me about the audio system

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I’m sorry I don’t remember my thoughts on it. But that engine note was glorious!

[@ThatReconDad]

Is 126k miles a lot to these SRTs? I’m looking at an 07 for $15,500

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I’m not sure, I would check out the forums and ask that question on what to look out for. I would imagine the engine is likely good if maintained. But I don’t know how the transmissions and all accessories off the engine hold up. Best of luck! 🙂

[@ThatReconDad]

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 appreciate the response 🤙🏾

[@LA-wf9kh]

that's cheap, I am from the Chicago area. Srt8 wk1's with 150-180k miles range 17-20k

[@therondismuke5192]

It’s standard for streeet sells but you can find some for 8-10k easily also

[@moea6136]

@@LA-wf9khthere is an 06 with 160kms on it (im in canada) i want to buy one dont know if its worth it he wants 11k for it and he doesnt come with the original srt wheels 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@soccerallday28]

can I put the 6.1l Hemi in a 05 grand Cherokee?

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

With enough money and the right people you can put a 6.1 Hemi in almost anything! 🤪

[@audriusbaranauskas6227]

@ 0:40 you went all out Joe Biden for a few seconds there :)) Just kidding, great video and a really nice piece of early days SUV muscle!

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Lol. Yeah, this was a fun one! 😎

Congratulations! 🎈 😛

[@kcrossover4267]

How is it able to tow 3,500lbs without even having a tow hitch.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Lol, good question. You’d think for the price of these they would come with a hitch from the factory.

[@bentonb7614]

It can't tow a dam thing.lol

[@Blessedman2323]

I need one,!

[@MuscleMan909]

I’m looking to purchase one of these, just wanted to know how do these perform if you upgrade around 550-600 hp? Also what’s a good price range stock with about 30k to 40k miles?

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Those are questions I would ask on an SRT8 Jeep forum! These and the 6.4’s are very fun rides. 🤩

[@RobertSmith-vz9et]

I have a 610hp 07 the car performs fine I don’t daily it tho just keep up with maintenance which isn’t cheap also parts for these cars are pretty rare and if you’re looking for a low mileage one that’s stock good luck but if you do find one the range I’ve seen is low $30s-high $30s I got mine for $22K with 90K miles and it wasn’t stock

[@ChilisCarrillo-if5bf]

Amigo yo tengo una supercargada y nitro en Sinaloa jala como demonio 👍

[@ruoYyddaD]

My daily driver is an '07 Jeep SRT8. Not stock 140k miles faster than you

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Nice! What’s done to it? For the elevation where I tested this one I was surprised at how well it ran. Usually big V8 cars are at least a second slower than magazine rated, but the AWD launch definitely helps.

[@Calixbean1999]

Just curious what's the monthly cost on gas to work haha

[@dneroaddiction]

@@Calixbean1999I daily mine in Cali everyday I waste about $10-20 every day to make sure I make it to work and back home without stopping to fill, full tank is about 80-100 depending where I fill up. Picked up a 07 for 13k with 110k miles. Debating on trading for a Tesla 😭

[@Nosmoke2024]

Never seen one with rubber petals 🤔

[@simplegamer4970]

I just got mine 2 weeks ago been at the gas station maybe 5 times to fill up. But I’ve been enjoying it and getting on it. Babied it this week and a full tank lasted me a week of work. I drive 30 miles to go and come back. From work 15 in LA traffic and 15 at night but cruising at 65-70mph averaged 12.5 mpg. Hope it helps. Also I’ve seen some ported and with an intake and throttle body averaging a bit more mpg some up to 15mpg
