Considering a Grand Cherokee for My Wife - what year/model?

[jjt250]

2011 was the year it was remodeled. I've driven a 2011 Overland with the 3.6 V6 and it was perfectly adequate. It wasn't a speed demon or anything but it felt plenty powerful for every day driving. However, if you decide to get a WK (2005-2010), I would skip the 3.7 V6 and get at least the 4.7.

I stand corrected. 2011 was in fact the first year of the new Grand Cherokee.

OK, got it. The 2011 was the new model year. Thanks.

It doesn't look like she wants a Grand Cherokee. But I hope to get her to at least test drive it. She wants to look at a 2011 Patriot that a nearby dealer has. But she also likes the 2011 Liberty. I think the Liberty would have more room, better 4wd system and trailer tow.

She had the older style Liberty before and it was too small for me, not much leg room, uncomfortable seats and no where to put your stuff that you want with you in the front seat.

It's a done deal. She bought the 2011 Patriot, part-time 4WD, no 4LO. 4 cylinder, no trailering for this little Jeep. But it should meet her needs and get pretty good gas mileage.

Thanks for help, guys.
