Very nice! Did you look at the new Wagoneer (no longer a Jeep LOL) when you bought this? Just curious how it compares, it's been getting good reviews. That Hemi is nice, it moves along nicely [emoticon]

My wife has a Expedition MAX that will likely be replaced by a Wagoneer. That’s the main reason I didn’t choose it. I don’t want two huge SUVs in the family.

And honestly that night even be tough after driving this. I can’t get the same equipment in a Wagoneer, and to get the same level in a Grand Wagoneer it’s going to be $40k more than I spent on this.

Congrats on the nice ride. Looks like Jeep no longer designs the GC for offroad use like my parents '96 GC they used to own many years ago.

The Trail Hawk and the Overland are still “trail rated”. Other than snow and an occasional forest service road, this will be a pavement queen. It drives much better without the off road options.

The Grand Wagoneer is north of $100k...

So the Grand Cherokee is smaller than the Wagoneer? Hard to tell from the pics. Makes sense, no need for 2 battlewagons...
