New Jeep

Does it come with a "bigger boat" or do you have to buy the boat separately.

Good morning all.

Grand Cherokee, diesel

Hey George, you need to keep your answers short, no need to write a novel. Lol. Anyway, as a Jeep owner, I can say they are a nice car. That new diesel is fantastic, great power and fuel economy. I have driven the car, and the only thing I did not like was the position of the parking brake. It's foot operated and sits right next to your left shin. I found it annoying to say the least. Otherwise the car was great. There is a question mark about Jeep reliabilty. Mine has only given a few problems like door handles having issues or annoying electrical gremlins. It's an earlier GC Limited with over 200K on the clock. Others will say to avoid crd motors because of the possibility of expensive engine repairs. They only thing I will say is that crd's out of Europe (the Jeep motor is Italian), are generally more reliable than crd's out of Japan. Isuzu is an exception. If anything goes wrong with a crd, it will probably cost a lot so you need to go in with your eyes open. If you do high kms then the fuel savings from a Euro crd will pay for it due to the incredible fuel economy. That's my experience.

Thanks Mudguard, a very good mate is retiring his trusty ol 80 series Toyota and is looking at buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee but keeps getting conflicting reports on the Jeep,so I thought I would try and help him

George.
If he was a really good mate you would talk him out of the Jeep.
Cheers

George,

If you do a search on the forum there should be at least a couple of threads relating to GC LTD.

Few blokes bagged them, including a couple of owners, but other owners were rapt in them. Detractors also brought out the "moose test" on YouTube, but these examples were of the earlier model. Anyway, we don't have too many moose in Australia!!!

See quite a few on highway, and specs look good, on paper at least. If we were in the market for a big wagon would definitely check these out.
