Thanks so much for the quick replies. I should have mentioned we were also considering the Cherokee Trailhawk, hence the wiring comment, but are afraid it might prove to be too small. We are avid back country folks currently running trails in our Polaris Ranger. Downsizing from a house to a MH will not allow me both a trail toy and a touring car so we want an SUV that will stand up to moderate trail riding.
The Cherokee line really fits what we need out of a car/trail toy, and I simply can't afford to make a $40K mistake. Please keep the comments, thoughts, and experiences coming... They are invaluable to me. RVers really are the friendliest and most helpful people on the planet!
Absolutely do NOT buy the regular 2014+ Cherokee. We Lemon Law'd one. Very happy to see the Cherokee Trailhawk go away. The 9spd transmission was never ready for commercial release. Some computer flashes wrecked the entire transmission. The same transmission in other vehicles is also problematic (Acura, Honda, Range Rover). It's also smaller on the inside than it appears. In the year we owned ours it was nearly trouble free the first two months. It usually sat at our house or the dealership awaiting repair. The Grand Cherokee has no relation to the smaller Cherokee.
