My new (rarely used as a) tow vehicle

[Bionic_Man]

Ordered a Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Hemi Thanksgiving week. It took 6 full months, but it finally got here. Luckily it was built with every option I requested.

I have to say, so far it greatly exceeds my expectations. Super luxurious, comfortable, quiet, powerful. I love the massaging seats, and the night vision is pretty cool.

This will be my 3rd string tow vehicle for my 7000 pound boat, and a primary tow vehicle for my boat. But mainly, as most "tow vehicles" here, it will be a daily driver. And a very nice one at that.

Beautiful Jeep, OP!

I had to do a double take as I thought it was some type of convertible at first. The other one is a Durango HellCat. That one is FAST!!!!!!! He also has a Charger that is modded to 1,000hp and will be an under 10 second car. Next he has a T REX. Cabinet sales are VERY good!

Congrats on the nice ride. Looks like Jeep no longer designs the GC for offroad use like my parents '96 GC they used to own many years ago.

What.....not a "JEWEL" ???

Ok... Ok... It's a jewel. :B

Better!

Nice ride!!!

My Son's friend just added this to his MOPAR collection.

Not feeling this one with the white B, C and D pillars and a black roof. Makes those pillars look like they're not attached to anything.

Yes the GJC L is a stretched GC. Similar size as a Durango (Not sure if they share platforms or not)
The Grand Waggoneer is a full size suv.

The Grand Wagoneer is north of $100k...

So the Grand Cherokee is smaller than the Wagoneer? Hard to tell from the pics. Makes sense, no need for 2 battlewagons...

The Trail Hawk and the Overland are still “trail rated”. Other than snow and an occasional forest service road, this will be a pavement queen. It drives much better without the off road options.

Very nice! Did you look at the new Wagoneer (no longer a Jeep LOL) when you bought this? Just curious how it compares, it's been getting good reviews. That Hemi is nice, it moves along nicely 🙂

My wife has a Expedition MAX that will likely be replaced by a Wagoneer. That’s the main reason I didn’t choose it. I don’t want two huge SUVs in the family.

And honestly that night even be tough after driving this. I can’t get the same equipment in a Wagoneer, and to get the same level in a Grand Wagoneer it’s going to be $40k more than I spent on this.

Beautiful. Congrats.

I'm not up on the new Jeeps. Does it have a full frame under it? Or is it unibody? Very nice BTW. Congrats man.

GC has been unibody since AMC designed the first model.
