Maybe go comment on new Hyundai videos..?? lol after all, how many 20-25+yr old SUVs from other brands do you see still beating down the trail in a daily basis? I rest my case

I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the Quadra Trac AWD 4.0l. Looks like it did when it came out, nothing changed on it. Only owned it a little while and curious how the Quadra Trac does off-road. I'll find out soon enough

I had the 2001 and 2004 models. The ride quality and seats were so comfortable. I remember a few long rosd trips, I could lay the seats down and take a nap when I needed to plus a few extra back seat activities lol.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is confortable and great space interior. Excellent perfomance 4x4 and two engines incredibles 4.0 and 4.7

This thing was an overnight class killer. Literally took over the suburbs at an even greater pace than the ZJ. While the 99-01 had their issues, but 02-04 saw a ton of the electrical infrastructure updated and new valve bodies on the trans. The 4.7 H.O. is the one to get of this vintage as it did not suffer the head gasket issues thr standard engine did.

As much as this thing lost it’s rear departure angle it has proven itself an undeniable off-roader with a minor lift and good tires! The interior was far superior to the 98! Although the 5.9 was sorely missed! My daughter has an 01 4.0 Laredo with the upgraded interior (heated leather and sunroof, not quite a Limited). She is amazed at how well it goes through the snow! 200k and just recently it had its first trans rebuild! So much for crappy Chrysler transmissions!

Beautiful the Jeep Grand Cherokee

I own a 4.7 Limited 99 WJ, originally from California but transported to Europe in 2003. I’ve had it now for more than 5 years and around 80.000 Miles. It ran 200K in total. The WJ has a 2” lift, it never let me down and is our favourite car for weekend activities. It’s super reliable and when something breaks down, repairments are almost never expensive. I really don’t know what to look for when the life of this WJ is over. The WJ is a unique combination of looks, reliability, comfort, low cost running, off road capabilities and especially: character.

My parents have owned 2 of these Grand Cherokees. A 2000 Limited with Quadra Trac II, and currently my dad drives a 2004 Freedom Edition with Selec Trac and the high output 4.7 liter V8.

I love these Grand Cherokees. Get me the later WK with the 3.0L CRD Turbodiesel!

I love my 2001. Also had a 98 Laredo. Loved it too. WJ looks a tad better imo

Chrysler's back-of-steering-wheel audio controls were underappreciated. It wasn't necessary - buttons on the front are just fine and still exist for cruise control - but it did make for less busyness on the steering wheel. Today's steering wheels... 😬 Cruise, audio, dashboard screen settings, phone controls, safety controls... Good grief.

Glad to see you guys have a great memory and remember these WJa were developed under Chrysler Corp and not DaimlerChrysler. It was Robert Eaton I'd guess, but he was also there for the '96 ZJ facelift.

I owned 2 and seriously hate that I parted with either of them. The V8 stalled and the computer was $1400 at the shop I went to and at that point I was scared it would break again.

People who live in areas where they don't need or want 4WD, or the added cost, added maintenance, lower mileage, added weight, more things that can go wrong. People that want a higher driving vantage point because everyone else has an SUV. People who have to deal with flooding. People that want the cargo space. I could go on and on. I have owned 3, 2WD Jeeps. To each their own, but I've never needed a 4WD vehicle. All the roads I travel are paved, so why spend extra money on an option I would never use, but would cost even more to maintain?
