I live in Montana. That should tell you a little about my driving style. Everything out here is far apart. I do a lot of driving and wanted a vehicle that can keep up with what I'm going to throw at it. Before I bought the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Overland (JGCDO), I was on the fence. It was either the JGCDO or the 2015 Audi Q5 TDI. I test drove both, a few times. I liked the Audi's better mpg and get-up. However the towing capacity and the interior storage capacity of the Audi was a deal breaker for me. Along with not being able to put BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on the rig--they just don't make them to fit the Audi. I don't like having to put winter tires on my rig in the cold and flu season and them take them off to put another set on in the beginning of allergy season. I like to buy one set of tires every 50,000 miles. I did a lot of research on both models. The TDI engine is tried and true--been around for many years, is reliable and bullet proof. The new diesel engine that Fiat came out with in 2014 for the Grand Cherokee is not tried nor true, however they have been building diesel engines successfully for a number of years. After combing over the jeep forums, I found many people dissatisfied with their JGCDO due to warranty issues with the catalytic converter and other minor things. I decided to take the leap into the deep end and buy the 2015 JGCDO last week. I got the extended warranty to satisfy the uneasiness about the reliability and 3 year 36,000 mile factory warranty concerns I had. Even with the extended warranty the overall price of the JGCDO still came in below the cost of the Audi Q5 TDI. It would have been nice to say "I own an Audi," but when I go skiing in a few months and have to drive through a blizzard to get some fresh turns at Big Sky, I will be happy with my decision because I know the JGCDO will be able to mob through 20" of fresh snow with a little help from the adjustable air suspension and the BF Goodrich All terrain tires. I just don't know if the Audi--even with top of the line snow tires and Quattro all-wheel drive would be able to. On a side note, I took a 415 mile trip today over about 10 hours going up and down mountain passes from 5,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level. My speed ranged from around 20 to 85 mph with BF Goodrich All Terrain tires. It was mostly highway but some hard miles were up and down steep grades at high elevation doing no more than 20 mph. With two people in the car, lots of food and gear, we averaged 29.1 mpg. Take that Audi! One word of advice: If you live in a cold weather climate and are thinking about getting a JGCDO, then negotiate for the engine block heater cord to be installed before you drive it off the lot. Its fairly inexpensive (~$150 with install) and should be standard on all diesel engines but its not.

I purchased a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee to replace my 13 Chrysler 300. Extremely comfortable in all my travels. I have used it to go off road, pull my boat, and personal need. This vehicle is comfortable on the inside. When I take clients with me they are impressed that it's a Jeep. Constantly telling me they can't believe how luxurious it is on the inside. Driving at night is awesome the headlights turn on to brights on their own. Wipers have rain sensing on them. Looked at other 4x4 vehicles and just wasn't happy with the dash setup and options offered. Best options for the money I paid. Make sure to take out the MOPAR warranty instead of the dealer warranty. Mopar covers until 2098 bumper to bumper or 999,999 miles on all major componets with $100 deductible. Take out a transmission at 150k 100 bucks to fix it. Warranty is pricey but well worth it.

Time and time again after my first Jeep all roads have led back to Jeep. Having had a 2011 overland I now tested a Audi Q5, Lexus Rx350, BMW X3, Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, all competitors and for what I need hands down again no comparison I purchased Jeep again. I was actually wishing I found something I enjoyed driving more as I like variety but nothing met my needs like the Jeep. A true multi purpose strong unstoppable comfortable luxurious vehicle.

First Jeep Grand Cherokee. Overland. 4X4. V8. I love this SUV. Great value It is comparable to BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. The cost is much less but performance is great. I have had no problems with the Jeep. Great acceleration. Just did 3000 mile road trip, very comfortable. No problem with long hill climbs fully loaded V8 easily keeps speed and accelerates well. One episode of electronic trouble, adjustable wheel stopped working for a little while but started working again. ????? No other problems. AC went out on cross country trip. Dealer in Utah did not find a problem, recharged no further problems.

I bought my overland certified preowned. I love everything about the car expect two things. The electronic shifter (no longer found in newer models) and the v6 engine. It is underpowered and the mpg is mediocre however the 16’ and newer models received a more efficient and powerful v6. So if you buy a 15’, go with the hemi v8 (no loss in efficiency compared to v6) but if you buy a 16’ and up, the v6 is the way to go if you want a mix of power and efficiency. Lastly, since I bought the overland edition which is loaded with tech and the air suspension system, I bought an extended warranty on top of the power train cpo warranty through my credit union as a safety net and piece of mine in the event one of those air bags or another piece of tech goes out. 2/1/2021 Update 68k miles, purchased with 38k: I don't mind the v6 anymore - it provides a decent amount of power and achieves good fuel economy. The transmission though, not so great. I know understand now what other people have said about jerky/slow shifts from a stop-start position especially after starting the car. The driver side seat warmer no longer works. The driver side headrest has burst open on a few different occasions but it didn't cause any injuries or accidents. It can be put back in position with some muscle. The doors creak when they open and close, sometimes very loud depending on the temperature outside. I dropped my extended warranty because there are so many exclusions of what is covered that its not worth it. I've put 40k miles on it since purchase in late 2018 and I haven't had any catastrophic issues that left me stranded. The transmission worries me though, I feel like it will prematurely fail at some point.
