  • Luv my jeep - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Ive had my Jeep 4.5 years, and have loved it. Im looking at the 06 (I want a nav system among other things). Its a comfy ride -- not marshmallow soft, comfy enough, and its great when I drive out in the hills/mountains. I have great confidence in the power and handling. Love my Jeep !

    The Grand Cherokee is what a real SUV should be like. Excellent balance of features, reasonable price, all the powers you might need, fine, yet just plain tuff. Not a vehicle for everybody. This is a mans vehicle. Rugged, strong, fast, with a can do anything and drive over you attitude. If you want an economic vehicle go for the toys SUV’s like the RAV4, Escape; or a minivan with a SUV look like the Pilot or MDX (off course, dont go off road cause theyre too fragile). If you you want the real thing, there’s nothing like a Jeep. The first one and still the best 4 by 4 period.

  • Very strong Jeep - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this August of 2003 with 114,500 on the odometer. Mine is a 4x4 because i have needs with my work where I will be offroad a lot.. I now have 256,830 on my odo. Only brakes once and fuel filters to maximize performance and mileage. I average 5,000 miles a month and drive it hard. Constantly at 4-5500 rpm range. I have tested this proven 4.0 engine. Use 4x4 4-5 times a week. Mud, rocks, sand, deep water, asphalt. I hit a deer on I10 in south texas and it drove away like a champ. Tranny still shifts good and engine starts every time. I know I can get 350k or more.

  • 2000 JGC - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    In spite of questionable reliability of the JGC, mine has performed very well. My only complaints: on very hot days, the air conditioner does not seem to keep the interior as cool as other vehicles that I have owned (i.e. Toyota 4-Runner). Also the vehicle is louder than previously owned vehicles. It is, however, much more powerful and comfortable than any other SUV that I know of in its class AND I can pull my 25 foot trailer in the Colorado Rocie Mountains without any problem!

    Roomy inside, good pickup when pulling out into traffic, very tight turning capability.

  • Would buy another one! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this vehicle new and have loved every day of it. If your main concern is great gas mileage you dont need an SUV, but if you want to do any off roading you want a Jeep. On road manners are great and it is a lot of fun to drive. I have the 4.0 I6 which is nothing but reliable. Select Trac will go anywhere. If you are reading this you are probably looking for a used vehicle. Dont be afraid of these. Hints: Look for one with the 7/70 powertrain warranty remaining. Also, service can be okay or a nightmare depending on the dealership.

  • Love My Jeep! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I own a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited Edition with probably all the bells and whistles of the Overland Edition. I have the POWERFUL 4.7L High Output V8 engine that literally throws passengers heads back when you punch the gas. I have the Quadra Drive 4WD system with 3 well placed skid plates in the front, middle, and rear of my Jeep and I am able to go most anywhere I want to whenever I go onto the trails. Yes I said trails, dont be fooled, just cause I have leather and heated 10 way power seats with dual climate control and every creature comfort possible in the cabin, as well as an amazing sound system, I can still take my Jeep out on the weekend and tear up the trails.
