So far I'm loving the MPGs of the Diesel. Plus it tows my Travel Trailer better than my Pathfinder. I actually looked into buying a left over 2014 Armada, it probably would have towed my trailer better it still would have returned the same MPGs.doctahjones wrote:nice. i do like those GCs....and now that they have diesel, whoo boy! also just helped a buddy put a lift on his GC...
in going to the qx i -may- actually gain an mpg, since i'm not lifting it or putting larger tires on
While yes they can be expensive I think the cost might be offset by the decrease in fuel consumption. Here in Utah Diesel is also about 15 cents cheaper than gas. Here's some info on the Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2):disallow wrote:I've been drooling over the Ram 1500s with ecodiesel. But $55k for the one I want... it'll have to wait! Vehicles are pricey up here in canuckland.
Talked to a buddy who has one, he said it's great, but echoed something that people on this forum have talked about, the payload isn't great. He does have an auxiliary fuel tank which is about 500lbs loaded, but even with out that he said he goes over on payload when pulling his travel trailer. It still pulls it, but he's a LEO and doesn't want to be caught exceeding gvw restrictions.
What's the payload rating for the GC?

I agree on the diesel. Even my V6 LE does pretty abysmal on gas, I wish we got the diesel version here.
That said. You wanted something BIGGER than a pathfinder? I can sleep in the back of mine and I once lost my wife in the cavernous back. I don't even think I can fit something bigger on my driveway.
(altho I do have 4 cars, ahem)

Thanks for being a great forum buddy!!
Good luck with the new truck, it looks awesome!
I guess on the bright side, you still have a Jeep to get you down some dusty trails!
Never thought about it...Can you PM me some details?You interested in a Moderator position?
Gotcha! Congrats on the new house too! Now you're all set for a family of 12!! loli don't have the jeep anymore, part of the deal of me getting it was that it would be sold to help with down payment on the house
