Tornado Rated! Literally!

There are reasons I checked and rated this Jeep perfect. This is not a soccer mom SUV, not a shopping mall vehicle! It's a great long distance driving SUV. 6000+ miles in 3 months. On 6/12/17, after pulling out of Lusk Wyoming. Around 1630 a tornado had literally dropped down on us - well traveling at 35 mph, our Jeep was hit by hail, rain so hard it sounded like someone pounding all over the Jeep. The Jeep shook violently as the massive amount of water and rain blew vertically from left to right. I accelerated as much as possible fighting to keep the Jeep on the road. 30 terrorizing minutes later. We pulled to the side of the road. I got to assess all the damaged that it surly had taken. Surprised and dumbfounded, Not a dent. Perfectly intact. Just extremely clean! I trust the vehicle with my life. Again. Tornado Rated.

Off road beast / tows like a truck

2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

I love my trailhawk, it goes everywhere I point it safely and securely. The ride is firm however it is a off road package. I use it to tow my pontoon boat, rzr and even towed my dirt bike from Tennessee to California no issues. The newest transmission update the dealer has done made my jeep shift like a dream. I love the 9 speed at 85mph it hits 9th and fuel mileage jumps to 25mpg and she rolls happily down the road. In the Smokey mountains last week I was comfortable enough to head out through Martha Sundquist park alone in the snow covering almost 100 miles on dirt, mud and water crossings while listening to my xm radio. My last vehicle was a 2016 Ram 3500 dually my trailhawk makes me smile every time I drive it.

2017 Jeep Cherokee

2017 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

This is the second Cherokee thst we have owned the frist being 2014, the only difference is that we opted for the V6 this time the 4 cly. seem to lack power when you needed it climbing mountian passes getting on the freeway passing other cars, we figured that the extra power would be a trade for an more economical vehicle but sofar we are pleased with the 2i to 30 miles per gallon that we are getting on the highway, as for ride interior comfort electronics we were pleased with the 2014 and sofar I see no difference between the two cars, I do think that the 2017 seems to have more interior room but thats just my imagination. In short we were pleased with the 2014, and we are just as happy with our new one, time will tell.

Fast not so Quiet Cherokee Limited V6

I had a 2015 Mazda CX5 that I liked, but the road noise was out of control. I am an outside salesman so I go through cars very quickly as you can see. The CX5 had all the bells and whistles, but I didn't like some of them so I'm glad I had more options with the Cherokee. The first thing I noticed when I looked at the car is the design is fantastic. It looks like a Grand Cherokee, but more compact. It is just the right size for me. When I opened the door the huge display screen was a sight to be seen. It has many more options than the CX 5 did on the display, which is a nice addition. Now lets get into the driving. It is a little quieter compared to the other compact SUV. If you want the same quality of sound and drive you will easily be spending over 45K with other similar models. It is fast with the V6 and honestly, who wants a 4 when you can get over 100 more horsepower for almost the same price and identical gas mileage? Here are the cons: It doesn't handle as well with corners as the CX5, the engine is loaded when you gun it (I actually like that about it but some might not), cargo space is a little smaller. I wanted a quieter ride but I'm no where near satisfied yet. I'll keep it for 4 years than see where Jeep is at.

2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
11 of 11 people found this review helpful

This is a great SUV that is price right in the middle of the larger and smaller SUV, i.e Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Compass. If you are looking for a leap forward in power get the V6 rated at 271 HP compared to the 4 cylinder at 184 HP. A big plus is that you do not loose much in mileage. Over all the fit and finish is great and I have had no problems thus far. My vehicle: 2017 Cherokee 4X4 Latitude with the 8.4 Uconnect system and the 3.2 V6 engine.
