Laredo V-6 engine, 4WD.
Bought the car new. Handed down to my daughter in college. Has been rock solid overall.
PROS:
Reliable. Only issue was a power window and air conditioner went out.
Beast in the snow if you have decent tires.
Gas mileage not great.
5 star safety.
Easy to park. Easy to drive. Decent pickup for V6.
Lifetime drive train warranty was a big initial purchase factor.
I am 6-5 300lbs and drove the car for 10 years. Can't say it felt roomy but was never uncomfortable, even on long drives (10)+ hours).
CONS
Rear seating is terrible as it is for all jeeps it seems. I am not sure why they can't get this right but no legroom in the back.
Rear seat does not fold flat with the front seats back.
Lots of plastic in the interior. Expected nicer finishes but got a great deal when purchased new.
Exterior door handles seem a little flimsy.…

I have loved our Jeep Grand Cherokee, as never has it left us on the side of the road. I have well over 200,000 miles and feel torn trading the car in. I am a single Mom with four busy kids and this car is like part of the family! This car was my pick because if I am in an accident, it will keep my family safe. I don't want my kids in a tin can!…
Nothing but problems

We bought our 05 grand cherokee 9 months and since then it has been to the dealer 12 times. Thats right 12 times and the thing still isn't fixed. Been nothing but problems from the day we bought it. Looking to trade or just get rid of ASAP.
We have everything replaced in the fuel emissions and the ecm still says that we have a leak in it somewhere. The airbag light stays on with the check engine light. The dealer doesn't know how to fix the problem. The value has also dropped $2,500 in nine months.…
