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

Are you talking about the Limited models? It's how Jeep describe the spec. Grand Cherokees, Cherokees, Compass and Patriots all have a Limited spec model to choose from. Is that the info you were after?

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.

We've got the WK2 GC Limited 3lt (with air
suspension) after owning a GU Patrol for 16yrs (370,000kms) done all the extreme stuff (with KIDS) now into touring & comfort. The Jeep has lots of power & v good fuel ac, Dimensionally its only marginally smaller than the Patrol, a nice vehicle to drive.

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.
Bob
