Most popular Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale

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!

Well having owned 2 other limited 99s v8 4x4s before, I do like them and I have 2 2001s now, one 4x4 other 2x4 both v8s. 2x4 is a rocket & easier steering, the 4x4 is a great one, I tow a boat 5,55lbs and no problems. All v8 4.7s are Mercedes Benz engines, if not abused & taken care they will run for the life of the car(tough v8s). One thing that have broken is the window mechanisms and on ebay $60 vs. dealer $120 (they last 4-5 years only on both jeeps). I have 95K miles on the 4x4 and 2x4 54K miles. The a/c is ice cold for both, in one I have the lake effect(water in condenser container and $$ to fix correctly), it drains too slow for amount of humidity produced. Look out for that if buying a second had jeep, and on the 4x4 take it up to 75-80 for 30 seconds, if small whistle noise in front transmission, then have it checked out, otherwise these Jeeps are a class act and they are a real good vehicle. The milage is great if not pushed too hard and the power is awsome for towing as well as quickness from a 4.7liter. I upgraded the Rear anti-sway bars on both jeeps to 1.25" from a stock 1/2". The difference is great for cornering and safety (addco makes them). So thumbs up if you get a good used jeep and get it checked out by a dealer. I like mine and recomend them. Not expensive for 4.7 liter power with luxury. The Japs 4x4s are pricey. Good for hwy, and trails, not the best on city for economy and a little bouncy ride but a tough truck and not too many things can go wrong on these things when cared for.

As the former owner of a piece of crap 2000 Chevy Blazer,,,,,I am totally envious of my wife's 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Bought from a little old lady from Asbury Park, N.J. , this vehicle is a dream to own!!
The 4.0 engine is a little powerhouse that is fully capable of 200k+ miles if well cared for!
The fabric seats are soooo comfortable and the A/C/ is ice cold.

I am now in the market for a truck just like hers!

I am using her truck as the LITMUS PAPER to judge all prospective Jeeps that come my way.
I should be as blessed as her to find a truck that good!!
I use LUCAS gas treatment as well as Lucas Oil Treatment and the truck LOVES it!!
I take good care of her truck as if it were mine (I WISH!!!)

Just get one and have some fun!!
