2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland review from North America
"A rugged yet refined 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Climate control/heater box problems.
Fuel pump o-ring failure caused delayed start up - $10 fix.
Exterior emblems have lost their clearcoat and paint.
General comments?
Very comfortable and luxurious.
Very powerful motor, especially when run on 91 octane fuel.
Decent off-road capability - one of the last SUV's to retain a solid front axle.
20-21 mpg at 75-80mph seems good to me for a V8 SUV.
The H.O. motor has forged internals and seems to be a very well-built motor. At 145k it still drives like new.
265hp, solid front axle, leather seats, luxurious interior, coil spring... what more could you want?
