2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland review from North America
"A true JEEP built for both on and challenging off-road use!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No repairs.
Warranty or otherwise!
Has Chrome front grille & wheels that would look appropriate on a 59 Caddy!
Like the Cherokees and Grand Cherokees before it this vehicle has too little rear seat leg room for America's Super-Sized adults.
This is the Top-Of-The-Line Model, the most expensive JEEP one can buy.
General comments?
Has every option except adjustable pedals and an engine heater, thanks to numerous sales incentives I paid 32 K + tax delivered New.
Has a solid front axle, superior for off-Road use over independent suspension.
Has an old tried and true design from a design that made the phrase SUV possible.
Has more visibility and larger windows than the newer 'high belt line' design.
Geared very low to pull trailer.
Rides great off road, but is a bit rougher than the shopping mall/generous tush folks will appreciate. They should buy the Alabama-Benz AWD minivan instead.
This is my 3rd Jeep since 87, and I still drive my 94 Limited with over 200K miles on it. An excellent vehicle that prompted me to buy another before Daimler 'soccer mom'd' it for 05!
