Jeep Grand Cherokee

The straight six engine is tough and reliable and can tow moderately, but if you want to have more get-up-and-go, definitely opt for the V8. If you are towing a motorboat or recreation trailer, you really have no choice but to get the V8. No major issues with mine, the 4 wheel drive has remained easy to use and operates smoothly at 125,000 miles. Same with the transmission, no clunks or grinds. You do need to stay on the routine maintenace however. Brakes, fluid changes, and tires, as well as suspension parts want to be babied to stay smooth in ride on the highway. It does have a good blend of highway and mild off-road capabilities, so if you live in the snowy areas it holds up year-round. It does like to eat up brakes in the front, but they grab well and respond like a mid-sized car. The shocks that hold up the rear lift gate seem to fail, I have run into other Jeep owners with similar issues. There are tons of factory parts available, however, which makes them pretty cheap to tinker with!

No doubt this is the best vehicle I have ever owned (age37). I test drove Dodge, Chevy, GMC, Ford, Mercedes, and Land Rover SUV's before my purchase of the 4.0 Grand Cherokee. I use it for cross country travel and getting around all year in the Colorado Rockies. I have been in deep snow, blizzards, off road rock trails, through streams, 11000 ft + passes in all kinds of weather and the 2004 Grand Cherokee performed flawlessly in all conditions.

On highway driving at 75 mph I average about 25-30. At 65 mph I average about 27 because only half the motor is used. Around town I average about 16. At high altitude on mountain roads, I use the lowest grade fuel and average about 17.

The milege is exceptionally good for a vehicle with so much capacity to perform and in fact the real world mileage exceeds most of the touted imports. It is possible to get very poor mileage with a 5.7 Hemi if one drives with foot to the floor however,that is a driver defect.

I have read critical remarks about the placement of the ignition key-that it can be damaged by being hit with the drivers knee-that would be some trick. I am 6'1'' and weight 220. It isn't close to being in my way. I have read critical remarks about the placement of the emergency break handle-well it very easy to use and it has never been in my way.

The Grand Cherokee is not in the same catagory as most vehicles described as SUV's and the lack of clarification confuses the public. It is not a soccer mom car. It is not an import want to be. It is built for five adults who want to go anywhere they want on or off road. It is a special purpose vehicle with extraordinary capacity on and off the road.

Current political correctness calls for an anti-suv view point and has promoted poorly informed reviewers to dismiss the Grand Cherokee 4WD without really understanding what the vehicle is designed for and what it can do.

The 2004 4.0 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a fantastic vehicle-a classic.

MET WITH SELLER PAID FOR PRODUCT. EVERYTHING WAS IN
ORDER. JEEP WORKS FINE FOR THE 4 YRARS OF ITS AGE.
THANK YOU

Very happy with the vehicle, feel I got a nice deal for a great vehicle! Seller was very accomodating and the transaction went smoothly. Would recommend to those looking to purchase a vehicle.

A milk crate has more poise.This car is scary on a wet day on a negative camber...Properly Scary. The HEMI is all mouth and no trousers and guzzles petrol for no perceivable pick up in performance. With horse carts like this (i leased for 27 months), the Sebring (rented on vacation) last week it's no wonder this company hit the wall.

The car I bought does not match it's description at all. The thing is POS, and is nothing like it is in the photos, which don't even start to describe the underlying mechanical issues. There is nothing that Ebay can/will do to get your money back, and ultimately it's your own fault for buying the car on the internet in the first place.

I bought my '05 Grand Cherokee Limited about 6mo ago and love it. It has the 5.7 Hemi which has plenty of power to begin. ...but ad a flowmaster, k&n air filter and a superchip and hold on. Not to mention it has a higher tow rating than most full size 1/2 ton pickups. Also has Quatra-Drive II 4X4 system ...one of the best 4X4 systems on the market. All in all, I love this truck and highly recomend. Well the Hemi, Quatra-Drive II that is.

This is the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, however, it is loaded with the Limited edition options, a rarity in the Jeep marketplace. Leather, electric seats, V-8 motor, tow package, alloy 17" wheels, Infinity sound system, power accessories, electric sun/moon roof--this Jeep is a wonderful buy! Purchased with 80,000 original miles, garage kept and rarely if ever used in off-roading, this vehicle provides plenty of power for freeway driving and off road exploring, while providing 20-23 mpg on the highway. It seats 4 comfortably, and has plenty of cargo space for the weekend explorer's luggage or golf clubs. Acceleration is quick and shifting through the 5 speeds is smooth and comfortable, without the lurching found in some of the earlier years' 4-speed auto transmission models. While many of these grand Cherokees were traded in during the Cash For Clunkers Program, it remains the perfect vehicle for maintaining our ranch, and getting into the city, and many can still be found at very reasonable pricing. they are built tough, have good ground clearance, and it's not uncommon to find many on the road today with 150,000 + miles on them and still going strong. A good value for the money vehicle in my opinion.

The blue color was pretty and it had GPS. The wheels were oxidized near the edges and This was a car owned by a chain smoker that kept the windows rolled up while they smoked.

Bought jeep on ebay frm dealership in NJ,flew from FL to pick up jeep and people were decent.Soon after leaving towards Fl noticed a noise which I thought was tires.The next morning in SC took jeep to a repair garage and they said front differental was burnt up and rear differental had water in it.Fixed front diff for $1100 and made it back to FL.Two days later air conditioning quit working and the next day car would not start.Called seller and got no satisfaction.
