I recently purchased a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited with the Active Drive II suspension to use as a dingy. This suspension was the only one that can be used for flat towing. After the first hundred miles I was ready to get rid of the vehicle. I was not aware when I ordered the car it comes with a "OFF ROAD" suspension which produces an incredibly rough ride for my 66 year old body. Speaking to Jeep produced a series of comments that it was my fault and I should have test driven the vehicle. Here is a $40,000 luxury SUV aimed as a tow vehicle for the RV Boomers and it has an Off Road suspension?
My advice is pass on this car unless you want a very rough ride. The car is amazing in many other ways but the ride diminishes any benefit from the electronics or appearance.:(
Not to jump on you, but Jeep made a product. If you didn't like it, you didn't have to buy it. You had the opportunity to test drive before you bought it and evidently choose not to.
Just as a heads up, if you want a nice ride, I'd look at Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, or Lincoln if you want a luxury SUV with a great ride. I'm sorry the ride is beating you up! Hope you find a suitable solution that won't kill the pocketbook.
