I've only had the vehicle over the past weekend, so why even write a review? Well, because it's a 2012 with 147,250 miles on it and it rides and drives like new. That says something to me. A week ago I knew nothing about Grand Cherokees, except that that the introduction of the 3.6L Pentistar engines in 2010 had been a game changer. Now I know It's 38% more powerful, consumes 11% less fuel, and is 42 lbs lighter than its 3.5-liter predecessor. Engineers also eliminated the brackets that the accessories (alternator, ac compressor, powers steering pump, etc.) are traditionally mounted to the engine with, and bolted the accessories directly to the engine block, drastically reducing noise and vibrations. It the best selling SUV in America and the most awarded SUV in history. I found a generously appointed Laredo (base model) 4X4, and knowing nothing about the progression of the trim levels, assumed it must be fairly high-end. I discover a pretty neat hack. I went to the MOPAR website, registered for an account and it allowed me to pull up the original window sticker. While the Laredo is the base model (Base Price: $28,995) mine includes the "Customer Preferred Package 26X" and the "Laredo E Group" option package, bringing the original price up to $37,200 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats Heated Front Seats Driver / Passenger Power 4-Way Lumbar Adjust Power 8-Way Driver and Front Passenger Seats Customer Preferred Package 26X $5,300 Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats Heated Front Seats Driver / Passenger Power 4-Way Lumbar Adjust Power 8-Way Driver and Front Passenger Seats 18-Inch x 8.0-Inch Aluminum Painted Wheels Remote Start (standard on Laredo X) 6.5-Inch Touch-Screen Display Media Center 430 CD/DVD/MP3/HDD 40 GB Hard Drive with 28 GB Available Uconnect® Voice Command with Bluetooth® ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera Air Cond w/ Dual Zone Auto Temp Ctrl and Air Filter Security Alarm Tire Pressure Monitoring Display 9 Premium (Alpine) Speakers with 506-Watt Amp and Subwoofer USB Port for Mobile Devices Audio Jack Input for Mobile Devices 115-Volt Auxiliary Power Outlet P265/60R18 BSW All Season On/Off-Road Tires Leather-Wrapped Shift Knob Cargo Compartment Cover Universal Garage Door Opener Laredo E Group $2,000 Keyless Enter-N-Go SiriusXM Satellite Radio w/ 1-Yr Radio Subscription Bright Side Roof Rails Flex Fuel Vehicle Seems like a steal for $13,500, right?

I own a $47,000 Cherokee Overland & found through a minor issue that Jeep customer care has protocals they follow regardless of cost or inconvience inflicted on the customer. This is the 1st Jeep product I ever owned and will be the last. Jeep sent me a software and map upgrade complimentry to me. Trying to install the map upgrade I found the vehicle vin number is not loaded in the nav system, thus it will not load the map upgrade. No dealer in Chicago has heard of this nor knows what to do to fix it. Jeep customer cares resolution is to bring the car to a dealer and experiment trying to fix it. No idea what may happen, how long it takes and no loaner read page 4 of the owner manual!
Smooth ride, and Lifetime Warranty!

I have only owned my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a handful of months. But I work as Jeep Service Advisor at a Jeep dealership. My Laredo X with a panoramic sunroof and of course, a Hemi is so much fun, and stylish. Its smooth, confident in handling, bold, powerful, quiet and very comfortable. Major step up from the previous gen (WK) with soft touch materials, and great quality plastics. My Jeep only has 20,242 miles on her clock, but as a Service Advisor, I write repair orders all of the time. It is very common to see these 2011-2013 Grand Cherokees (WK2) with well over 100,000 miles. They do not rust for what I have ever seen, and if they are taken care of, then they will last you forever. If you do not like that it had 4 recalls (Recalls that replace very expensive parts with no money from you) then you need to look for a bike. All vehicles get slapped with recalls. That should never be a deciding factor when buying a vehicle. This is my second Jeep Grand, and my fiance is on her second Liberty. I also was able to buy a LIFETIME WARRANTY! Great brand! Love it! (To leave review, I had to put that its an SRT. But, its not.)

We have had this vehicle for 14 months and 40,000 miles. So far both the puchase and ownership experiences have been good ones. Power with the V6 requires lots of RPM's as a small V6 is propelling a 5000+ pound vehicle BUT, the upside is that same 5000+ pound vehicle getting on average about 23 MPG at 70 MPH on the highway. A downside is the navigation system which is near useless and best plan on having a Garmin mounted to the windshield...!!! Our only warrantable item was a new seat covering on the driver's seat due to premature wear....quite the hastle getting the right material from Jeep Service Parts and thank heavens for a great servicing dealer in Auburn, Indiana. Happy owner...!!!!!
