Haven't read any comments in here yet, but I've just purchased (600 KM's so far) a 2021 GC Altitude after having a 2018 Laredo and a 2000 GC Limited. I have to say, my initial observations are, compared to the '18 that the steering is tighter, the suspension is stiffer, the throttle is more responsive, the Start/Stop is more decisive, and the doors seem tighter (ie: a more solid "thunk" when closing). The cons are: a slightly louder cabin noise (maybe because the '18 has michelins, and the '21 has Bridgstones?), the backup camera is less defined than the smaller screen in the '18, and I guess as a segue, the larger 8.4" Uconnect screen is great except for the above back up issue. My main beef is with the 9 speaker Alpine system. I"m a DJ from way back. I'm used to having great stereo systems in my vehicles, including an Alpine in my YJ from back in the early '90's. This one in my '21 forced me to bring the EQ bass to the minimum, and the treble to the max. Not happy about that. I was hoping that would be a highlight of my purchase. I'm really thinking of buying a completely new system. Any one else feel the same way, get in touch. And BJP Lifestyle: thats for all the videos!
I just returned a ‘20 GC limited back to enterprise a week ago and yes even though the truck is nice I do agree with you on the sound system. My ‘10 Mazda CX-9 sport has a BOSE system from factory and it’s louder than the ALPINE system in the GC.
Best purchase ive made by far. I have a 2018 GC same trim as yours same everything besides it being all black. I live in Chicago we recently got hit with about 12in of snow and my Jeep was the only one that made it out the alley ways and out the garage with out a problem. Best purchase of 2020. Glad i traded in my 2017 Tacoma for this.
@@BJPLIFESTYLE Nope its just like yours i guess its automatic 4x4? That was one of my worries in the snow how it would active and stuff but it did just fine.
@@philthomas5307 Needed a family vehicle as much as a loved my Taco, i needed something that would be family friendly. Cant say that i made a bad choice with the Jeep
Awsome vid ... just purchased 2015 summit from brother..am so excited!... up here s. Utah 9,000 ft so snow vid very cool actually all you're vids are great...for winter have 86' Toyota and will climb a tree.. hehehe ..Live in middle of nowhere .. 80 miles nearest town.. 5ft snow dumps ...but this summit changes everything!! ...I see no comments for year or so hopefully you see me...I watch your vids daily..Keep em coming...Did I say I so EXCITED bout new "Jeep"...Ohhh ya "It's a HEMI GABY"
If you plan to get a SRT, please consider also purchasing a Mopar Maximum Care plan (not the 'dealership warranty'). I'm going to guess you're going to be looking for a 'good deal' on the SRT (as you're going to lose $ on the trade-in), which means chances are it'll have high miles, or may have been 'abused' by the previous owner (launch all the things!). For a SRT, either buy new or certified; avoid 'deals' if you don't have the full service/repair history.
I just got a 2017 Altitude. It came with the paddle shifters and a moon roof (no awd because I live in florida) came with brand new Michelin tires too (and the 20 inch wheels) After a bunch of research I found out that I could actually swap out the Uconnect system and the usb reader with 18/19/20 models and get car play! (around $500-600 on ebay) So that's why I went with the used 17 model. Got it for $24k before taxes and dealer fees! Which is way cheaper than paying thousands more for a 2018 model just for car play.
I have the same Altitude 2017 model with paddle shifters, sun roof, black out option and off road cause I'm in Jersey....excellent in snow....especially having alot this year!!! This is my 4th Jeep and favorite by far!!!
Love the videos man. We gotta lot in common lmao both drive a WK2(V6 great for gas compared to SRT)...both involved in Real Estate lmao. Your jeep is MINT btw. Im a fellow 2017 summit owner and it makes me very happy to know I got to keep my paddle shifters by sticking with this year XD. My car came with every do dad imaginable besides the entertainment package in the rear seats.P. S...my uncle calls my jeep a truck and I always snarkishly/PROUDLY remind him that its a STATION WAGON. AND A SEXY ONE TO SAY THE LEAST. MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY JEEP GC WKII PEEPS!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE mine came diamond black exterior with sienna brown leather (I like to call it Peanutbutter. And it has black mahogony wood trim instead of your carbon fiber which I am also a fan off. So many unique options for people with different tastes not to mention 8 different trim levels lol
This generation of grand cherokee wk2 on a solid frame, the new wl is no longer available, the dealer in Australia sent me with regards to the welded frame in wk2: Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven grand cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.
I bought the 2020 Limited X about 8 months ago. Definitely the more “street” version of the GC. Love it though has the Quadratrac II system and living in NH where snow is abundant putting it in snow mode makes the thing a beast. I also have had some issues with fueling but I noticed it’s only certain pumps and usually at a Irving stations. Must be something with their pumps.
Nick, is the gas problem if you fill to the top? I heard there is an issue with some Jeeps. I too bought a 2020 LimitedX. Feel we got ripped off with no front air vents and no rear heat seats. Other than that love it. My son bought the same version as BJP.
@@BJPLIFESTYLE Hi There! Enjoy your channel. You have great ideas and like your opinions you share (except the exhaust add on. Doesn't seem like your style as it's for kids with rice rockets not a nice Jeep like you have. I have an idea for you to make another video. Go to auto stop eliminater and purchase the modual. 2nd day with 100 miles put mine on and can't be happier. Ask for a 10% discount. The guy helped me out maybe you too.. Anyway, keep up your hard work.. it payoff.. www.autostopeliminator.com/collections/jeep/products/2018-jeep-grand-cherokee
I just returned a ‘20 Grand Cherokee limited and I absolutely love the truck. For a 6 cylinder suv gas mileage is not bad either since I do a lot of highway driving. The only few concerns that I have: is it expensive to maintain? And how reliabile it is? I Originally wanted a 4Runner but it is expensive (even used ones) and it’s also a gas hog. Thank you for your videos they are also entertaining. Cheers!
I bought a 2019 Jeep GC Limited not a 4WD and I absolutely love it! Except there's one little thing I don't like. When I come to a stop on a hill, I hit the gas to take off when light turns green and it hesitates like it takes a couple seconds too long to take off. Does that make sense? Someone said it's because it's a Rear Wheel drive and I'm definitely not use to that, nor do I like it. Should I take it in to the Jeep place or is this normal? Thanks!!!
I just got my wife a 2017 grand cherokee limited. Got lucky i guess cuz It has all the led lights and a panoramic sunroof and power everything. Thinking about keeping it for myself and giving her my hunting truck. Only problem i have with it is that i just noticed that the drivers side strut assembly is leaking. Priced replacement assemblies and them lil beeoches are big time bookoo bucks.
What you recommend get the SRT first then a overland let me explain it better because if I start with any other model I’ll have to put money for the down payment of the SRT
It's personal preference, the WRXs are super nice but I personally like having an automatic for a daily driver and then having a manual as a second car! If you don't mind it though, go for it!!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE okay great! But if i get a good deal on 2018 grand cherokee v8 and new wrx, should i still go for new wrx? I have an automatic car rn but i miss driving manual and i kinda want manual
@@BJPLIFESTYLE do you have a video on how to replace them? I have a 2014 overland model with HID light but they are getting old. I can’t find videos on it.
I was confused because it looks like my 2021 80th anniversary 4x4. So far I have added tow bar but having problems finding guard for the full front. The small ones are laughable and pathetic; because they can't stop wild animals except for lower middle area if that.

The heated steering wheels are really great in the middle of the winter. We live in New England and do appreciate this. Bravo Jeep.
Had my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo v6 it’s the best car I have ever had low maintenance other then oils change rides smooth it’s 8 years old

One thing I do know, they run better on the Mid to Highest grade gas...it's not a must but it does make it run smoother...

I definitely will be buying low miles on the SRT whenever I get one! I want a 2018+ anyways so it’s hard to get one with crazy high miles anyways

I wish I knew all of that before as well! The paddle shifters would be a fun touch that I wish I had lol
@@BJPLIFESTYLE It's pretty weird as the models got newer, they removed the feature. I'm pretty sure even 2015 limited's can get paddles.

I got a 2016 anniversary edition and love everything about it except the auto stop start. I just automatically turn it off when I start it up.
I have a video on my channel disabling it lol Can't stand that start/stop feature!
Hate that also!!

I bought same your car when I saw your videos and I am waiting 3 months to arrival to iraq from USA 🇺🇸❤️.. I love you
I have the seme color like you rims black and i painting the front grille look so sport

Great the way the speedo blurs when the revs pic up. Funny about that.
That is normal in Jeep. Those electronics in Jeep they live they own life lol

Yeah some parts are expensive on them, but they have good warranties through MOPAR you should look into!
What you think about the limited X 2019
Any reason why you blurred out the speedometer lol
I’ve just seen most car youtubers do it lol
What you recommend get the SRT first then a overland let me explain it better because if I start with any other model I’ll have to put money for the down payment of the SRT
Depending on what you’re driving, if you’re able to afford it and plan to go for the SRT anyways it would be worth just going for it!
Would you prefer manual car or automatic?
I’m trying to buy a car but i’m confused between subaru wrx 2020 and jeep grand cherokee 2018
It's personal preference, the WRXs are super nice but I personally like having an automatic for a daily driver and then having a manual as a second car! If you don't mind it though, go for it!!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE okay great! But if i get a good deal on 2018 grand cherokee v8 and new wrx, should i still go for new wrx?
I have an automatic car rn but i miss driving manual and i kinda want manual
That gas on a srt/hawk not good for a daily🤷🏼♂️
Compared to my truck its much better! lol Plus I work for myself so it's not a big deal
If you can afford an SRT or Trackhawk then gas is not an issue.
Just add a RIPP supercharger and you'll be close to SRT speed.
They don't make one for the 2018 I don't think.
Thanks for this review im trying to get a used 2014 jgc limited after I return a lease what u thing about the 2014 model
2014 was a great year! Just make sure you check it out and make sure everything is solid, and throw a warranty on that bad both
@@BJPLIFESTYLE thanks bro
@@tipico809 I bought a used 2014 limited with the 3.6L v6 about a year ago. Love it! Gas mileage could be better but it’s worth it. Great vehicle
@@sethrom96 thanks for ur answers thats help me to get more quickly my 2014 or 15 jgc limited thanks again 😊
Isa Jiip lmao and even if u get an older SRT as long as it’s not high mileage u may as well go for it definitely would recommend 👌
I’m doing some research now, if I’m able to install the 2018+ CarPlay uconnect in a 2016 or so I’ll definitely do that!
I have u connect stock on my 2016 their

Yeah, the replacement was awful too! Appreciate the love!!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE do you have a video on how to replace them? I have a 2014 overland model with HID light but they are getting old. I can’t find videos on it.
I have one on the standard halogen bulbs to LED, I don’t have the HID so I don’t know how different they are unfortunately!
2014 grand jeep how ur gps my goes not taking me to my destination its funny i went to the same place twice and not taking me home
Mines fine, you may need to bring it to get updated / do it yourself!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE it worked today fine but i think was a clitch,what you think
