I am thinking about purchasing a 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo and had some questions about it for people who actually own one. I was wondering how does it handle in snow and how well skis would fit in it if i dont have a rack on top. Also I was wondering, realisticly what kind of gas mileage does it get ?
I just bought a jeep cherokee which is pretty similar. I get 18mpg and my skis fit in in great, but they are only 158 so it really depends on how long they are.
i love my jeep i have a 99 jeep grand cherokee limited and it holds up to two pairs of skis with room for people to sit in the back. and it works very nicely in the snow if you have good tires
i got an 07 cherokee with the hemi engine in it...same car just bigger engine. Handles in snow pretty well. I had to drive to school 25 minutes away this winter in multiple giant blizzards in 4- a foot of snow on the saw mill highway which anyone knows is pretty windy. As far as anything your going to handle on the road...it can do everything well. I dont offroad so i cant help you out. Fits skis ok with the seats folded down. I wouldnt say its the biggest interior compared to the overall size of the car, definatly get a roof rack if you are going to haul a lot of shit with skis in it and a bunch of people. Handles pretty well for a suv great power comofrtable highway mpg's arent the best, but then again i dont pay for gas.
i have one.
visually appealing, looks sick with a ski rack.
terrible gas mileage.
it's okay in the snow.
you feel like every bump with this car.
super top heavy.
i really don't like mine to be honest, it's a 2006.
i have a 99 gc laredo and it drives like a tank. has been beaten to hell. love the fuck out of the car. it smells like a blunt. we have fit soooo manny boards and skis in it literally like beaner packed 7 kids with all their snow gear. but horrible fucking gas mileage.
Well thanks for answering all my questions, since most of your complaints are gas mileage I think i will most likely get this car because I am not paying for gas as long as i keep my grades up.
until you go to college and your parents give you 300 a month for gas and food. And all you want to spend it on is booze shows and drogas. then you can't afford gas and you spend all your money within two days of gwtting it and they're like where is your money going. and you're like well uhh well i uhhh uhhh uhh. but its ok you buy your own gas with your dirty drug money.
my brother had one and i grew up around it my whole life, skis didn't fit very good without the rack, they came through the back kinda awkwardly so you might want to get a rack. i believe it handled pretty well in the snow. decent car in my opinion.
