    I have a 2021 GC L Summit Reserve and travelled across Canada doing over 6,000 miles pulling a 18 foot travel trailer weighing over 4,500 pounds plus the stuff in the vehicle. The V6 was at his limit climbing the hills in the rockies forcing me to manual shifting but aside that limit, this Jeep is fantastic and I really love it.

      We bought a 24 limited 4runner & after doing the mid-Cali mountains in that, we've labeled the car as a non-tow vehicle, except for extreme emergencies. It struggles to move it's own weight. Night & day compared to our older '05 4Runner's

    You got the awd systems backwards. This is from Jeeps website: Choose from three highly adaptive available 4x4 systems. Quadra-Trac I® can automatically switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive for optimal efficiency. Quadra-Trac II® and Quadra-Drive® II offer you maximum power and 4x4 capability.

    I don't think a Grand Cherokee Summit is in the same class as a Honda Pilot, or a Pathfinder, anymore. Now It's closer to an Audi, Bmw, and Mercedes.

    • @OutMotorsports
      @OutMotorsports  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Summit Reserve is not, but the lower trim levels of Grand Cherokee L are priced to be competitive against more mainstream makes/models of three-row crossover, and all trims offer the same Pentastar V6, hence the comparison. If you look at the Germans, they all offer either forced induction or electrification as part of their drivetrain offerings. Jeep knows they need to do something with the drivetrains offered here, and we think they will soon.

Not sure if you focused on things I would focus on -feel, cargo space, comparison to a truck, sound system, etc, but your delivery was the single.most convincing of all the "bigger' reviewers. Fantastic work. You may have helped me make a $66k decision!

    You almost got the 4WD systems correct. It's actually Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II then top trim gets Quadra-Drive II. You explained them spot on, just the nomenclature was off. Also, checking out Jeep's website, no trim can be equipped with Quadra-Drive II. I think it was only available with the off-road package/trail rated package, which is no longer available. Bummer...Great review, BTW!

    • @OutMotorsports

      Thank you! Truth be told we ran through those 4WD system names repeatedly before filming, thought we nailed it, and then... didn't. Oopsie. Sounds like they made changes for '23, we'll try to get ahold of one to compare.

      They kept the “Quadra drive 2” name for marketing purposes.
      But the best available 4WD system is the quadra trac 2 with eLSD. It’s been that way for over 10 years.

    Jeeze, I want to marry this man. What a thoughtful, intelligent, and cohesive review of this car. I have the 2 row Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve and I love 99% of it. It's a great car in almost every way. The only slight let down is the 3.6L Pentastar V6. Look, it's a good engine. It's reliable, sounds good, and it's refined for a 10 year old design. However, it lacks to torque that this car really needs to keep it in that X5 / Q8 / GLE area. Here's hoping Jeep brings the Hurricane I-6 Turbo to this. With that engine (especially the H.O. verson), this would be unbeatable. Great review!

    This sounded like a very honest and objective review. One I would rely on when the finally makes it to Europe. However, I would like some more details on the interior quality as there have been reports by some reviewers that the fitting was a bit loose at places and the rear doors felt very light as compared to the front ones. Overall, there have been a lot of reviews on this car but only a few being truthful, like yours. Keep up the good work!

    Fantastic review. Summed it up perfectly. I ordered one of these but eventually ended up canceling. That v6 was just not enough and that v8 and its thirst wasn't super exciting either. Ended up with a 22 Aviator. The 3.0L engine in that is perfect. Would love to test one of these Jeeps with that hybrid. The interior and ride quality are on the same quality as any luxury brand.

    • @OutMotorsports

      Thanks, Jason! The non-L Grand Cherokee is available now-ish as the 4xe, but the GCL has nothing hybridy announced or confirmed yet, so if they do update the engine options it will be for 2023 or later.

In short we have had 2 Aviator Blacklabels the second also being Grand Touring. The first got labeled a lemon because of an unfixable backup camera and the latter because of something between the hybrid and the engine, still unfixable together the cars were in the shop for a total of 11 months so we are now shopping for a grand Cherokee L

    @girlegrl54 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I recently sold my '19 Toyota Highlander SE because I didn't like the way it drove, it was jerky and I felt like it just didn't have enough power. After watching your video, you described almost exactly how I felt about the highlander with the Grand Cherokee and its engine not having enough power. Is there an SUV that you recommend that is a V6 but still has enough power for the car? I loved my highlander but couldn't stand to drive it anymore due to the crappy engine! I'm really struggling to find what I'm looking for.

    • @OutMotorsports
      @OutMotorsports  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The big thing with a lot of these V6 engines is that they have to be revved high to make their power, which can be annoying and also feels odd if you're not used to thrashing on an engine. Your Highlander didn't make all 295 of its horsepower unless you were revving it to 6,600 RPM. Below that, it was making... less. What you really want - if you want something "effortless" - is torque. Everyone buys horsepower but you drive torque. And you get low-down torque with a turbocharger, a hybrid, or a V8. You could try the Grand Cherokee V8 or 4xe (plug in hybrid). See about a Highlander Hybrid, maybe?

    Great detailed review. I currently have a Telluride SX Prestige and am thinking about moving to a Summit Reserve L in the next year or two if and only if it gets the 3L turbo I-6. These N/A V6s have to work really hard to make these heavy trucks. I want to tow a 24' boat which is well beyond what the Telluride could handle.

      We try to discuss everything using real inches, not internet inches. The GCL is not huge - the Grand Wagoneer is definitely larger in every dimension. But despite being smaller, the interior space is used as well as the Wagoneer or better. You get some benefit from it being unibody vs the GW being body on frame. The GW keeps the lead on third row headroom and overall cargo space.

There have been reports of questionable reliability of the 3.0 EcoDiesel long-term, and diesel as a whole in the United States isn't being pushed much outside of bigger trucks and commercial use. Electrification is where automakers are going, and given the shorter two-row '22 Grand Cherokee can be had as a PHEV 4xe, we suspect Stellantis will add electrification of some kind as a third drivetrain option for the Grand Cherokee L in the future.
