This site does not offer by default to add the 5.7 Hemi engine or any V.8s. I have had 5 Jeep Grand Cherokees all V8s. The latest a 2010 4x4 5.7 Hemi Limited S, which is great & the power is just so much more than the 4.7 models. I believe that this WK model (2009-2010) with the 5.7 Hemi is by far the best power to weight ratio in all the grand Cherokees to date including the newer ones (2011-2016). The 2009-2010 got a small boost in HP & economy with no weight increase. I also had a 2009 4x2 5.7L Hemi & I thought being a 4x2 would be faster.. not so and I like towing with the little heavier 2010 Type S WK 5.7 (hard to find model) To get to the reason I'm writing this is easy. You take care of your G.C. and it will not fail you much, windows always in Jeeps go bad. I bought all of mine used and had put some money into them always at first to start from zero on fluids. I have always changed all fluids to synthetic the moment I have bought them. Never had much problems unless not garaged and in cold weather. When I tow heavy loads then some problems have come up but no big deal. With synthetic proper fluids and oils you should not experience problems when towing acceptable loads. Don't force the transmission or the engine too much.... it will smell like is burning once you park. These Wks are not large SUVs & do have good ergonomics. Driver kind of cramped left foot when up and flat. These wk hemi feel fairly tight and performance orientated for the price. The ride is soft not what I expected on the 09 & 10. I guess accomadating women too. The seating arrengemnet or size is fine, not having hardly any people in the rear seat suits me fine. The towing is very good on the Limited S model(stiffer front) but on the Limited (2009) not 4x4 is just ok. I would like stiffer suspention and did added a heavy dutty rear sway bar and stiffen with Air Lift bags the rear. Other good things is the sound system. Not a huge vehicle and fits just fine in garage. They are very practical parking in downtown too, the rear camera helps. I'm sold on the 5.7 Hemi because I tow a car here and there and the power is there when you step on it, it will GO! I will say any driver can drive these since they are not a HP bouncing machines. I used to hit the pedal to the metal often when I first got them but now I know the power is there when I need it. They do get thirsty if you pedal it down in city roads. Find the used ones with no signs of towing if possible. No matter the miles on the hemi it should be fine if not abused. People get bored of same vehicle and not necessary sell them because they are bad. These Grand Cherokees (WK) with the V8 Hemi are a great vehicles for multi uses, even city driving if you got $ for gas. Using 89 octane is the trick when towing or mountain driving. No need for 91 or 93 octane won't do any better. Have fun and if you find an Type S (2010 only) get it, much nicer than just the normal one. Despite any repairs I have enjoyed driving the V8s only for any kind of towing, and this hemi with vvt (variable valve timming) is better than all other ones I have ever owned. Add heavy duty ceramic brakes in front for great stopping power and even more safety. You should have no oil leaks at all if all tighten down good that could leak. Fun driving easy parking. Hwy driving with cruise control & @65 mph Florida flat hwy gotten 22mpg. Otherwise 18-19 mpg. :-)

7/5/2013: I have had this 2010 GC Laredo 3.7L base model for almost 4 years. No fancy shmancy bells or whistles; the 2WD SUV is perfect for southern/rainy climates. It sits up high, steering is tight/responsive, super Mercedes W5A580 tried- and-tested transmission, and a window liftgate to carry long items. (Very few SUVs have that window liftgate feature.) In 4 years, I have had nothing but smooth, reliable performance. TIRES: what a difference good tires make- recently replaced the stock Forteras with Michelin LTX M/S and it feels like a brand new car with perfect handling. I am even happier with it now. Corners great, solid grip and confidence in major rain, and a ride smooth as glass. Update 7/10/22: Loving the ROI on this Jeep. Still in it 12.5 years later, after purchasing it new in Dec 2009, no problems (outside of one window motor at about 6 yrs), super reliable, just oil and routine maintenance. Low mileage at 78k (thanks to work at home), high #years. No garage, sits outside in Southern sun, paint is still glossy (have had it waxed/detailed several times). Don't think the new PCs on wheels, laden with electronics, will outlast this no-frills basic SUV model. This Jeep has been more reliable than my prior 2 Japanese brand cars, which I kept >10 yrs. Gas mileage could be better (18/23), but tires (still use Michelin LTX M/S) improved the original mileage on Goodyear Forteras, by about 1-2 mpg. I think I'll see how long this one will go. Zero car payments, super low maintenance costs, can make a big difference in lifetime savings. :) will update again in 9 yrs. Be aware that many of the lower reviews here are for 2009 JGCs. The 2010 was a fantastic year- they worked out all the kinks. https://getjerry.com/auto-news/best-year-jeep-grand-cherokee#an-overall-best-year-for-jeep-grand-cherokee-2010 Update 5/14/2024 - Still driving it 14.5 yrs later, 88k miles (low mileage helps, work at home) no major problems- replaced headlights that oxidized a little, new Michelins, looks brand new again. Kept up with all maintenance, fluids, serpentine belt, brakes, etc. Had one scare (mechanic misdiagnosis) about vibration felt thru gas pedal, turned out to be loose bolt near exhaust. Fixed, no vibration now. Paint is amazing. Cloth seats still look new (they were made with a tough fabric that far outlives leather) . Sat outside for all its years, but still glossy. Reasons why I keep it- rock solid reliability, good in rain/snow, quiet, great stereo (I use sxm), still looks great, kind of an iconic look now. Lucked out on this one. 5/16/25 This car will outlast me! Still getting super reliable performance from it, going on 16 years. Just routine maintenance, replaced oxidized headlights and it looks brand new. Paint is amazing, still glossy even without a garage. I use a black vinyl restore on the exterior cladded parts and they look new too. Dash still perfect, no cracks. I keep expecting a part to give out, but nothing breaks. Radiator, starter, etc all original. I did replace the serpentine belt about 4 years ago. Got lucky with this car, she just goes and goes.

Didn't even consider a Jeep when I was looking at new SUVs. The limited model was very smartly styled, black with chrome accents. I wanted a V8 w 4WD, with Nav, bluetooth, memory and heated seats. The 5.7 hemi is terrific, getting 15 mpg city and 17.5 hwy over first 10K miles. steering is precise, suspension is firm but sophisticated, not like a truck (or our 2000 EB Explorer). Brakes are the right balance of pedal pressure and stopping distance. I haven't found anything that the 4WD couldn't handle on snowy mtn. roads. The Navi/radio/bluetooth system with voice interaction is very smart and responsive. This car is definitely smarter than I am . This car has been flawless.

Bought the Limited with the 5.7 Ltr hemi (not an option in the Edmunds drop down menu). After owning a '95 and '99, decided to go back to my old friend. So glad I did!

Got the 2010 Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD with 5.7L 8cyl Hemi. Love the manly Jeep body style. The thick, heavy, solid body and all time 4WD make me feel very safe in this SUV. The 5.7L Hemi has tons of power for uphill acceleration. Handling is great thanks to the firm suspension, the 18" wheels and the TRUE all time 4X4 (Quadra-Trac II which splits the power 50-50 front- rear by default). Surprisingly the cabin is very quiet even at 70mph. The dashboard layout is simple and straight forward. The GPS is easy to use without reading the manual. The leather seats are very soft and comfortable. I test- drove X5/MDX etc but overall none of them can compare with the 5.7L 8cyl Hemi Grand Cherokee.

My family has been buying Jeeps for years now and has had generally pretty good luck with them. Our 2010 Grand Cherokee Laredo is no exception. Before believing the professional reviewers who claim the 3.7 liter V6 engine is underpowered, I suggest you drive one and decide for yourself. Mine has plenty of get up & go although the mileage could be better. My dealer was doubling the manufacturer's rebate, meaning I saved over $10,000 off of MSRP before they looked at my trade-in.

Purchased my JGC used w/28,000 miles on it. A couple days later engine light comes on. Dealer replace 02 sensor and on the way home it goes on again. It's been in the shop going on day #3 and now they say computer is shot. I dont think they no whats wrong with it. I'm starting to think this was a bad purchase. At least it looks good.
I love my first Jeep!

I bought this Jeep a little over 2 years ago and i absolutely love it! I love the ride and the way it handles and the build quality is pretty good. The only things I don't like about it is the gas mileage (average about 15 combined) and the front speakers have always been a little fuzzy. The low tire pressure gauge is a little too touchy also.

This is my fifth Jeep and my 4th Grand Cherokee. I want something a little more fuel efficent so I opted for a 6cyc. Had a 2007 Limited with V8. Burned a lot of gas. 2010 Limited only comes with Hemi. Instead I opted for the X package and am surprised at the performance of the 6cycl. It has just as much pick up, one of the quietest ride of any jeep I have owned and handling is smooth and nimble. I love the MY GIG system and many of the other creature comforts that come with the X package I have only had it for about two week and so far I am not seeing a significant difference in the Gas mileage but too soon to tell.
Fuel Pump Relay recall

I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has been stalling on starting. Getting much worse. My neighbour who has a 2011 just received a recall for the Fuel Pump Relay giving the EXACT same symptoms as my 2010. I called Chrysler and because there has not been an official recall they deny accountability and say there is nothing they can do and I have to pay for all repairs myself just because there weren't enough problems reported. No matter what I say they deny fixing. It is my opinion that they know there is a safety issue (it could stall and quite anytime) but deny because it isn't the right year. I have decided to take this issue to the FCA and see what they say as they were the ones that told Chrysler to issue this recall. If anyone else has a problem like this please let me know. I see others have had problems with the O2 sensor as well and tire pressure. I've dealt with these on my own but Chrysler should pay attention to these issues. Overall I've liked my Jeep and would consider another in the future. I'm just really upset at Chrysler.

Bought the Limited 4wd w/5.7L Hemi as a tow vehicle for fishing boat. Other than pickup trucks, few vehicles are available capable of towing more than 1,500 pounds - most SUVs are now "crossover" vehicles (station wagons). The Grd Cherokee can tow up to 7,200# w/Hemi and tow pkg. Although my experience is limited(2 wks), I have no complaints. Cabin is quiet, handling is nimble yet stable, body is solid, doors and interior fit very well, Hemi starts easily and runs sm-o-o-o-th. Backup camera great to hitch trailer. Insufficient experience to comment on reliability and fuel economy. Jeep web site is confusing-QuadDriveII (limited slip, skid plates, tow hooks) came standard with 5.7L Hemi.

Nice Truck, poor mpg. very Nice interior, great power, I have the 5.7 Hemi, it goes along great. This truck needs more place's for storage items. I would rate it at about an 8 on a one to ten scale

This Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best yet! The quality of workmanship is very good, the vehicle is solid and fun to drive, and I have had no problems at all. I am really enjoying this Jeep, even though I have owned 7 Grand Cherokees in the past.

I recently purchased a used 2010 Grand Cherokee 'E' model with 21,016 miles with a rwd 3.7 liter V6. I have never seen so many standard features that would options on other non Jeeps. The A/C is cold, the transmission shifts smoothly and when it shifts it is quick with no lag. With the a/c on in stop and go traffic I average 14 mpg. I have not had it on the highway long enough to measure the mpg but hope to do so soon. I also have a 2002 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7 liter V6. This engine is durable and dependable and sounds like a small V8. If you are looking for a fuel sipper, go somewhere else. If you want a safe vehicle you can depend on get a real Jeep.

In general, this is a great vehicle with awesome power and better than expected H/W mileage. Jeep blew it, though with the tires. We've sliced (and destroyed) 2 tires on easy gravel roads! No one sells better 18" tires. Will have to downsize to 17" in order to get better off road tires. Chrome-clad wheels on an off road vehicle is dumb ... they chip easily. My wife freaks now when we drive on any sort of rough road. Jeep's reputation has been tarnished in my book!

Great all around SUV. Bought the LAREDO 4wd w/5.7L Hemi, NAV, Quad-II, etc. All the options other than the Limited features. Boutt he vehicle during snomageddon on the east coast due to our lease being up on 2007 Grand Cherokee. 8,000 in rebates was hard to pass up and I am glad we did not. Great all around vehicle with so many options and very little cost due to the rebates.

I have owned numerous BMWs over the years. I recently sold a 2007 550i and was considering an X5. I learned that Jeep was giving steep discounts on their 2010 models. I am very impressed with the Limited Hemi. Very solid and incredible features for the money. Very similar in size to the X5 in terms of back seat space. The best part is that purchased it for $7500 less than MSRP due to the dealer and Jeep discounts. Great time to buy a Grand.

This is my only disappointment with my first Jeep. The auto off for lights is not standard and cannot be added. I haven't had to pay attention to turning off lights for YEARS. This could have been a deal breaker if I had realized prior to purchase.

I just got the 2010 Grand Cherokee Limited and I love it. First off it came with everything you can think of stander. The 5.7 Hemi made the jeep what it is. I test drove many other trucks and nothing came close to these. I had 4 other Grand Cherokee so I know what I was getting

Just bought the Laredo 3.7 ltr yesterday. Am a loyal Chevy man. Wife wanted to try the Jeep. Initial driving seems nice. Back seat area seems to be a little tight. Doesn't seem to be as solid as the Chevy Equinox. Nice looking vehicle. Time will tell for me though. Rated it as 5's in all categories for now. Will rate again as time goes on.
Under 100k and not impressed.

My 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee was under 100k and has already required a new water pump, had a crack in a gasket and I never cease to see the light on the dash indicating an engine problem. My next vehicle will definitely not be a Jeep. I’m hoping I can keep this one going for 3 more years but, I won’t hold my breath. I have without fault, kept up with every oil change every 3k, never abused the engine and, kept it so clean you could eat off of it, summer or winter. I give it a “2 stars” rating and that’s being generous. As of today, the key fob won’t open the gate and I have to roll down the windows to unlock the doors to open them. I also have to take the key fob key out and physically put it in the door to enter. 🤬 Hopefully, my next car will treat me as good as I’ve treated this one. My advice is buy a Honda or Toyota, they’ll probably outlive you. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Bought brand new initial problems with computer crashing while a few old and not being programmed correctly. and Key fob not working on occasion also ironed out in first couple of years. Since then normal wear and tear . I diligently change oil every 3000 miles and transmission every 30 000. Ayear ago water got into the computer unit which cost me $1000. Otherwise its been a tremendous car. The transmission is butter smooth and the engine just keeps on trucking... doubt the later models would be this trouble free. Replacement of water pump, alternator, sway bars but compared to buying a new car a small price to Pay! Confident it will be a 200 000 mile car...
