Perfect Vehicle
My first truck. Was going to buy another sedan but decided to try the jeep. I am so glad I did. I love everything about it! So many people give compliments on it, moreso than my last luxury car.
Love my Jeep
This Jeep is very smooth on the road - takes potholes well! Great in the snow.

DINOS JEEP
LOVE THE ROUGH RIDE,AND HIGH SEAT VISIBILITY. HAVE NOT HAD ONE THING GO WRONG,AND THIS IS MY THIRD JEEP GC.RELIABILITY HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY SINCE MY FIRST ONE IN 94
Awsome Drive
Just bought it and love it!
jeep #5
this is the 5th jeep grand charokee i have owned and it is by far the finest. this vehicle has the best urgonomics of any of the previous vehicles i have owned, jeep or otherwise. everything is right at your fingertips.
Not Sure
I have owned my Jeep for two weeks today and I must say I'm not as impressed with it's I6 engine's ability to get up and go as I thought I would be. If you are going to purchase this vehicle, I would suggest that you take it for a LONG test drive, 10 miles at least. I'm glad I leased it!
Good Stuff
Well, I've only had it a week, and it's our first Jeep but we love it! the only complaint is we have to take it in and get a new windshield put in it because the one that came in it has air bubbles in it... a little disappointed but nothing major and they'll give me something to drive while they do it. Other than that so far it's great, drives wonderfully and I personally think the Grand Cherokee is still a sharp design and is one of the best looking SUVs on the road.
Offroader and Country Club in One
Just picked up my Silver Limited and immediately took it on a a 400 mile trip. The Jeep performed above expectations. It rides like a champ on the interstate, and is easy to manuever in the city. It does have a little of a truck like ride, but hey it is an SUV - right? If you want a car ride, than I say, "Buy a Car!" I considered the Pilot, the Highlander, the 4- Runner, and the Pathfinder. Test drove them all a number of times and finally settled in on the JEEP as my favorite - no regrets!
Happiness
Had a great buying experinece, from the fleet manager on the net. No hastle. Took delivery and it has run as designed and built. Am very satisfied.
Jeep? Never Again!
Car turned out to be a lemon. Lousy reliability. Has been in repair for half a dozen items. Altough it is comfotable to ride, i woul NOT recommend it to anyone. Go Japanese.
this car is blehmazing
This car has a meh on road attitude. However once you let the thirsty 4.7 HO V8 off road, she becomes one amazing SUV. In years of living in middle GA i have only been stuck in the mud twice. Great 1st car for your son or a offroader.

its a jeep
Coming form an xj I am pleasantly surprised at the comfort that this grand has , it has proven itself time and again in the harsh northeast with temps from 10 below to 100 above ,I didn't get stuck once in the 24 inches of snow dumped on up in jan (1 storm), despite chryslers take over it is still a jeep
All Around Great Jeep
Great SUV! The H.O. motor is fun and reliable. The car is great for someone who wants an around town SUV but knows that they can take it off road to. Car acts just as good if not better when off the road. The H.O. motor is also good to have for trailers. Overall a great car.
awesome suv with the power of a truck
I was searching for an affordable suv with a good strong name. My preferences were in comfort, off-road capabilities but something luxury as well. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V8 has all of the above and it is a smooth yet powerful suv. 4x4 is excellent for off-road. Great family suv with a good amount of space. I knew the minute I started to drive it that it was perfect. not very bouncy like other competitors and gas wasnt as bad as others as well. I can't wait to take a long road trip in my jeep. Dont forget the V8's towing capacity either the maximum is 6,500 lbs that is a large boat.
Man I love it!
This is my second Grand Jeep Cherokee Limited to the '93 (same model) I had. The old one ran fine, but getting everything repaired at the dealer just got too expensive for such an old car. I had a little less than 150K on it so I'm expecting to get similar mileage before I get another new car on this 04 GJC. My new car is simply joyful to drive and to own! It has power, comfort, and style. I just love driving this car, even though I don't go off road. So far no problem except for groaning when shifting from R to D. My old 93 did this too. I'm not sure if it's normal.
Rough, Rough Idle
This will be my 4th Jeep and last. Purchased new and ran great for first 10,000 miles. Started to have rough idle problem when in drive. Had 4 different dealers work on it with no luck. They just say V8's idle rough in this vehicle because idle RPM is set too low for lower emissions. Can't change computer settings. What bull! If buying this vehicle used, look for one with at least 15,000 miles. This idle problem does not set in until later. Very smooth running V8 but idle at red lights or traffic a joke. Passengers will ask you whats wrong with your car? Brakes also need frequent work. Only buy this vehicle with a power driver seat.
The First of Many
This is our first jeep. My wife and I are hooked. We are currently in the process of purchasing our second Grand Cherokee Limited.
This Jeep Rocks!
Wife bought this as a surprise b-day present. Great surprise! Thought we were going to have to go smaller, but got a great deal and the Jeep has been great so far. Had it for about six weeks and took it on a 2600-mile trip to VA and back; performed like a champ and got 20 MPG with the 4.7L V8! Comfortable, roomy and looks terrific in Inferno Red Tint Pearlcoat. Easy to get into and out of. Looking forward to facing the challenges a Minnesota winter will throw at it. So far, so good - I'm thrilled with my first Jeep!
All-Around Great Vehicle
We bought our Silver 2004 Ltd pre-owned from a dealer and have owned it for a little over 2 years now and we absolutely love it. Cool styling (best year in my opinion), awesome power and torque, very comfortable and pretty quiet on the highway w/o breaking the bank like an X5 or Rover. Has enough room for us w/ two adults, a 2 year old in a car set and two dogs in back. We put a Thule box on the roof for long hauls and we're ready for anything! We are avid snowboarders an this Jeep motos in the snow, but the stock Goodyear Wrangler tires need to be replaced w/ something more all-weather capable. My brother-in-law drove ours and went out and bought an 05'. They're contagious!
2004 Jeep Cherokee Ltd.
I have had the Grand Cherokee Limited for over 4 months and all I can say is I LOVE THIS vehicle! It rides smoothly, handles well, and is so comfortable to drive I am always wanting to drive more. The high ground clearance makes travel over rough conditions a breeze. The back is spacious and can carry lots of equipment and supplies.
Overland is awesome!
As with previous Jeeps, the maintaing of the vehicle is the secret to it's longevity. What can I say? It's a Jeep. It goes when and where I want it to in luxury. The door panels could be a little slimmer. Big people's knees go where the window switches are. Gas mileage is not terrible but that is not why I bought it.
Everything but adjustable brake pedals
We have taken it on 2 long trips and its a fine car except it requires premium fuel and the economy is less than expected. It was picked up with a slight miss and it still does but worse when hot. The GPS has a lot of nice features and someday it will navigate using more roads so that direct routes can be used rather than just major roads. It is not as good as a hand held portable GPS for routing. It handles surprisingly well at high speeds and if you need some power its there when you need it. Its fast.
First Jeep
First in buying my Jeep, I used the Internet to do my leg work before I even went to any dealerships. Between Edmunds.com, cardirect.com, etc... I had 14 quotes. Once I had a good feel for the price I wanted to pay, I lined up test drives not only to check out the vehicle but to check out the dealerships. Some rate better than others. I spent little time in the dealership when I purchased my Jeep. I'm very happy with it!
Jeep Review
The 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado is an excellent vehicle. I previously had a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado and traded it for the 2004 model. It is a very dependable vehicle.
Fully Satisfied
I am fully satisfied with all aspect of my Grand Cherokee, 2004. It is my third Jeep purchase. I am pleased with the 18 mpg average around town in the first month's ownership. Am also looking forward to driving in the ice and snow to gage it's performanceO
Left me stranded 4 times the 1st 6 month
Reliability on this vehicle has been a nightmare; for this I should have purchased a used car. It is now on it's FORTH battery with 8198 miles on it. To date they have not been able to figure out what the problem is. I would NOT purchase this car again new. Also, the inside lacks nooks to store things up front.
Awesome Jeep ride and off road
The new 4.7 litre engine is awesome and has lots of pep. This vehicle will leave every other SUV in its class in the dust off road. It rides the same off road as it does on the asphalt. The little bumps seem a little bumpier on pavement, but it drives awesome on BIG bumps off road. I live in Montana and this ride takes me everywhere I want to go.
Do not like the vehicle
Quadratrack drive performs poorly in snow. It is really not a 4X4 but a 4X2
Overland satisfaction
Only have 20000 kilometers so far and am satisfied with the vehicle. the overland is distinctive and is easily identified from the ordinary Grand Cheroke.
FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!!!!
Over the years I have owned a number of suv's from all major american manufactures except Jeep. If I had known how nice they were, I would have had one before now.
Fun to Drive!
It's fun and easy to drive. You have to be a little careful when turning on sharp turns; it's not as stable as it could be. Great view of the road and I like the roomy feeling.
3rd Grand Cherokee and final one!
Our 3rd GC a Christmas present.At 200 miles the "check engine" light came on.It was fixed. Every 200 miles after that it came on also, after 1,000 miles Chrysler is buying back to SUV. Faulty software in this model when fuel tank is 1/2 full and going up steep hills!
Gone 'Jeepin
I've wanted this Jeep since the redesign back in 1999. I finally got one, and it's the most fun-to-drive car I've ever been in! The V8 engine is great on speed and power, though I'm only getting an average of about 16mpg. No surprise there, as this is an SUV after all. The LTD model has a ton of gizmo's and gadgets to keep me happy, and despite being a 5 year old design it still looks more modern & aggressive than the new Trailblazers and Explorers. I also considered the HUMMER H2, but although I like its big TONKA toy truck look its still kind of ugly. The Jeep gets twice the H2s gas mileage, costs over $20k less, and has twice as many onboard toys.
jeep ok
my third GRC far suprior to all others. 2300 miles so far & no problems of any kind. note i am very critical & would consider a 1/16" difference in body pannel fitment a problem to be fixed
Works for me
I traded in a 95 Impala for a 4 wheel drive GC. Although I had to get use to the tipping (while turning as you get with all SUVs)I find the ride every bit as smooth.
2004 JEEP GC
MY 4TH NEW JEEP IN 9 YEARS. THIS IS A HANDSOME & RELIABLE VEHICLE. HOWEVER MUCH TOO LARGE FOR THE 6 CYL ENGINE. NONETHELESS POSSESSING CAT-LIKE PROWESS IN OFF-ROAD SITUATIONS . THE SEATING SHOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE CONSIDERING THE $30K PRICE TAG . I HONESTLY EXPECTED MORE FROM THIS MODEL CONSIDERING THE PRICE HIKE OVER THE NOW DISCONTINUED CHEROKEE.
Grand Cherokee
I think that my Gran Cherokee is quite possibly the best car of I ever owned. I am a mother who is hauling kids everywhere, and I feel very safe in my jeep. I have owned a Mercedes and a BMW and now I am on my 4th Grand Cherokee and love it.
Great
I am an Office products technician by trade, I travel alot of miles between service calls, it holds my inventory with room to spare, so far in the last 2300 miles (it's new), I have ave'd 18.5 miles per gallon. The ride is very smooth, great response, enough power to get out of the way and with the cruise control on, it's a nice quiet ride. Sound sys, which is not the best they offer..is outstanding. Don't just sit there, go get yours.
grand cherokee
its a great car, its great for long trips and smooth rides it can tow anythings and its great for families or just you...
mediocre experience
The Jeep is a fine SUV until things start to go wrong. I am tired of hearing "we see this all the time in these Jeeps" from my mechanic when I have a little problem. It performs excellent off road, but compared to other SUVs it is noisy and has mediocre handling. Chrysler designs these vehicles so that when little things go wrong with them - big things have to be replaced.
A Real SUV
Simply put, a great SUV through and through. The Overland is not for everyone, and are best suited for those enthusiasts of true off-road vehicles. Remember, the Jeep will behave and react like an SUV should, and when properly maintenanced will provide years of inexplicable joy and recreation.
Jeep is FUN like everybody says it is
I always wanted a jeep and finally I got one. I love it so far. It's rugged feel and durablity is why i like it so much. I haven't had any problems as of yet. Being in Michigan i have had to put it into 4 wheel basically all winter long. Just yesterday the roads were icy coming out of my sub, i put the select-trac into All-time and away i went, no problems. One of the other reasons i bought this suv is becuase the 2004 GC has been on the same platform for over 5 years. I feel that all the bugs have been fixed and the quality should be perfect. I highly recommend this vehicle to anybody.
fun suv.
I like the way it handles on and off road,and the easy in which my wife can go to 4 wheel drive with little effort.
The best suv ever
i have never had a problem with my jeeps. I have owned them for the last 30 years. It can handle any situation that you offer it. The engine runs great and the interior is comfortable.I love my jeep!
second jeep purchase
this 2004 seems lighter and eaiser to drive,only problem is a little noisy when accelerating
My Jeep is Noah's Ark
This Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Limited is the best car I ever bought! It rides as well as our Volvo T6 S80, and drives beautifully, too. Going through snow it is like a big safe sled. Not one skid, slide, or hesitation going over the mountain pass in several inches of snow. In my mind this Jeep is the best all around SUV for the money. A huge improvement over my previous Jeep.
GREAT SUV !!!
G TOO MANY QUESTIONS WE JUST LOVE THE OUR JEEP "GRAND CHEEROKE" WE HAVE 3 KIDS TWO OF THEM IN STROLERS GREAT TRUNK SPACE AND WE GET GREAT GAS ...
MY BABY
I love the jeep. its is great except for one very big detail. IT IS A GAS HOGGGGGG?
Balanced Choice
Given the SUV foremat, performance, fun to drive, and economy levels are much higher than would be expected or than experienced with my friends' competing vehicles. First year, but with about 14000 miles of HARD driving, not a single reliability/quality/assembly issue. Replaced a 1993 Grand Cherokee with 170000 miles and similar satisfaction level for its time. An improvement in every respect.
Jan's Jeep
I traded a 2003 Tahoe for this 2004 Columbia Edition Grand Cherokee. My wife has been totally satisfied with the ride and power of the 4.7 liter HO motor. We get a pretty good gas mileage average of 20 mph on the highway and about 17.6 in town. We have not found anything about the vehicle that we do not like.
