• Strong engine lineup, unmatched off-road ability, balanced handling, long list of advanced safety equipment, solid warranty.

• Hard plastic interior surfaces could use some padding, less cargo capacity than most midsize SUVs.

  Overall great....but... - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By RANDY - August 14 - 1:03 pm

  Great vehicle, but for some reason it overheated at 750 miles (since new) after a brief gas stop on 250 mile trip home. It was flatbedded to the nearest dealership. They found nothing wrong! Strange, since now I wonder if it might happen again. Dealership not helpful in explaining how this could have occurred. Otherwise, my 6 month experience with this Jeep (5.7 L) has been great.

  I love my Jeep - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Drew Hollingsworth - July 30 - 5:30 pm

  This is, and has been, the absolutely best Jeep to roll off of Jeeps assembly line. This includes every new Jeep that is out there on Jeep lots today. Now, instead of building an off road Jeep that is just as good on the freeway as it is in crossing streams and rocks; now all they are building is wimpy, slightly bigger, two wheel drive, land yachts that trade performance for gas mileage and are not even trail rated. Really sad. If you are looking for a real Jeep Grand Cherokee, look for a 2005 limited edition with the 5.7 liter engine. That is if you can find one that the owner will let go of. In that area, I do wish you luck! You wont be getting mine!

  Best car ever - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By lee amaral - July 22 - 4:33 am

  This car has all the features you could possibly want. It is good looking, comfortable, and handles and rides very well. Instruments are all right there in front of you. Power terrific. Transmission with + and - is very handy in the mountains whether going up or downhill.

  High Performance SUV - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dan - July 10 - 10:46 pm

  Mine is the 5.7L Hemi Limited model, and I love it. VERY quick! The combination of Quadra-Drive II, stability control, traction control, and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS is great ... it always goes exactly where I point it, with no drama at all. Interior is very comfortable and looks great. Lots of useful feature that dont get in the way of driving and give you the option of using them or not (automatic headlights, rain-sense wipers, automatic climate control). Smaller cargo area than some other mid- size SUVs, but its plenty large enough for my use. Overall a great high performance SUV that has the hardware and technology to make driving on and off road a pleasure.

  Jeep is moving on up!! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Wayne Daughtridge - June 12 - 2:20 am

  I have owned several jeeps over the years both Wranglers and Grand Cherokee. My GC has the 4.7 V8 motor, and I tow a 22 foot boat back and forth to the coast several times a year about 4 hours each way. I also pull a motorcyle trailer all over the southeast. My fuel mileage is just as good as the F250 Diesels. I average 13 to 14 miles per gallon. The jeep is strong and reliable even with 65,000 miles logged in.

  Just about everything I hoped it would be. It is what every sixty-something should drive both on and off road.

  A dream with a hemi 5.7L - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Joretta - April 13 - 6:08 pm

  I still love her but the interior door handles have fallen in on the floor. I had to replace the entire driver door panel so i can get out of her. She still runs like a dream!!

  I love it! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By erin - April 13 - 12:40 pm

  When I was looking for an SUV I was only looking at the Volvo XC90 or the BMW X5. My husband had me try the Jeep and I fell in love. I have every available option, bluetooth, Sirius radio, nav., auto dimming lights, rain sensor wipers and on and on. I have over 60K miles and have yet to have a single problem with this vehicle. I sell real estate so I am in my car all the time and taking clients around. They are always impressed with the interior and are suprised its a Jeep. We will be selling it soon because I need something bigger with two kids in carseats but I will buy a Dodge/Chrysler product again in a heartbeat.

  Awesome ride, great interior.... - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JohnGermani - April 4 - 9:00 pm

  We were looking at getting a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the massive dealer incentives but my wife fell in love with the safety features of the 2005 version (No Daimler Chrysler product introduced since 2002 has received less than 5 star crash rating). We bought one on the last day of the month and payed 1% over invoice less the $1000 Jeep cash. The dealership gave us $600 more for our trade than any other dealership would give us so I guess they cut into their holdback a little and sold it for about 1% under invoice. As for the vehilcle, it has the best ride of any of the midsized SUVs we tested (Ford Explorer, Chevy Trailblazer, 2004 JGC).
