What Do You Want To Know About The Jeep Grand Cherokee L?
What Do You Want To Know About The Jeep Grand Cherokee L?-May 2024

Image for article titled What Do You Want To Know About The Jeep Grand Cherokee L?

I drove the Jeep Grand Cherokee L a whole bunch over the weekend, and I’ve got a lot of thoughts. But, before I put together my second review, I want to know what you want to know.

Let’s get a few things out of the way: it’s big – really big, it’s very comfy, it seats four people perfectly for a long trip, and it gets really not great gas mileage.

This truck is also expensive. It stickers at $67,090, but for that price, you do get a lot. In fact, the 2021 Grand Cherokee L I drove was pretty much fully loaded, other than not having the 5.7 Hemi V8 engine. This truck has to make do with the Stellantis’s corporate 3.6 V6 engine – which in all honesty is enough. Good thing it’s enough to power the big brute too – because I got some pretty terrible gas mileage.

That terrible gas mileage was achieved primarily on the highway between New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Those are three places where the Grand Cherokee L doesn’t fit in any meaningful way. We’ll get more into that later – but for now, let’s just say thank God for surround-view cameras.

The GC L has a few main competitors – primarily from GM’s quadruplets: the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse and Cadillac XT6. The car presents an interesting issue size-wise since it is the “L.” Keep in mind, the regular Grand Cherokee has its own list of competitors that do and don’t cross over with the L.

Anyway, I don’t want to give that much away yet – but I do have a lot of thoughts on this car. Some good, some bad. It does a lot well, but I can’t help but see it as a rather confusing vehicle.

So, let me know what you want to know, and I’ll do my best to answer you.

I Checked The Value Of My Car On Kelley Blue Book And Now I'm Sad
In case you didn’t catch the mood from the headline, the news wasn’t good. I went on and looked up my car—a 2002 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG—and was told that it’s worth around $5,400. Don’t ask me why I did this. And now I am really quite sad. I knew those...

For $49,995, Would You Drive Dennis Rodman’s Custom 1996 Hummer H1?
For $49,995, Would You Drive Dennis Rodman’s Custom 1996 Hummer H1?
There is probably no more flamboyant a sports figure than retired NBA player Dennis Rodman, and an object lesson in his extroverted lifestyle can be found in today’s Hummer. Let’s find out if this custom H1's price might also be something to get pumped up about. There wasn’t much excitement...

For $4,500, How About This 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback For A Daily Driver?
For $4,500, How About This 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback For A Daily Driver?
Today’s Lancer has what is quite possibly one of the most epic—and perhaps least car-appropriate—ad photos ever put on Craigslist. Let’s see if this rare wagon’s price supports the legend. BMW’s M3 could be considered legendary, well at least the original E30 edition so far. Yesterday’s was representative of that...

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Final Edition Says Goodbye With Its Middle Finger In The Air
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Final Edition Says Goodbye With Its Middle Finger In The Air
The is old news down to everything, save for the silly badges that Mitsubishi used to try and differentiate it from a normal Evo X. Spoiler alert: it’s really not that different at all. As a hater of pointless badging, this really doesn’t help anyone’s case for me, but I...
