The Grand Cherokee is an absolute classic. This version is beautiful. Great job as always.
Great video Ryan... BUT... 65K that is getting insane... wow...
Don’t get all the options then
@@brycepridemore9864 exactly lol. Overland is absolutely in the “luxury” category. You can pay a lot less and still get a very nice SUV.
Thanks for continuing to drive / test cars and trucks that I'm thinking about. You are in the pocket, Ryan.
Enjoying watching your reviews, thank you!
Thanks a ton, really good review covering a lot of built-in features the others don't cover in their videos!
Great video, Ryan! Thank you!
I think most snow modes are not calibrated for the deep snow, but for the hard packed plowed surfaces most people encounter. They certainly need a deep snow setting.
Agreed. I have never seen anyone in the worst case winter scenario situations be successful in snow mode. You almost always need more wheel spin!
Sand is basically for deep snow. No need for another mode.
Yeah I feel it's just a marketing decision as for most people the conditions they see is what you described, not the deep stuff.
All these modes is pointless; just give me one mode; my right foot and my two hands. That will get me through anything.
@@michaelp.3485 and your Corolla right?
thank you Ryan.. you make great reviews 🙂
Great review sir one of the best I have seen very thorough
another snow video ❤️ love these!
Jeep’s got a winner here! I love the styling and is very capable too!👌😎👍
Loved that! Your explanation in details is way better than most of others technically car reviewers 😅
Interior looks amazing, especially the infotainment. This is proof those tacked on tablets to the top of the dash aren't the only way to do it, take notes other manufacturers
Wait till you see it with some dust on it... the $5 shiny plastic looks disgusting for any trim let alone a top trim model.
@@robertjohnston8531 just wipe the damn dust off and stop crying lol
@@Tay04723 You can't. Then you have scratches. Even if you clean it every day, which is ridiculous, it scratches very easily too.
@@robertjohnston8531 that's why you get a duster smart guy
@@BigBossBallSoHard I've seen show room models scratched up.. Duster of not the cheap plastic was a dumb idea.
Awesome revue we wanna see it work and you did exactly that
I just bought one. Thanks for the video. This Jeep is complex and beautiful at the same time.
Love your reviews
Amazing slow mo stills captured
This was great not going to lie when you did the snow test on mountains I was like 😰👀 felt like a suspense movie lol . Great video 👏🏽👏🏽
I have the 2021 Limited X with the V6 and 4x4. The engine is not exciting but it is extremely smooth and never feels underpowered. I am excited to see what Stellantis will do with their rumored i6.
Great review. I will look hard at a Grand Cherokee when I move to north Idaho in a couple years. I have learned a lot about how these off-road systems work from watching your various reviews. I think that last part when you switched to sand/mud was an excellent example of the difference between the two modes.
Get the V8. The V6 will let you down
I'm Impressed. I'm living in FL but own rural property on the NY/Canada border. I'm considering moving up there year round to build a homestead. I have a Volvo XC60 but want something with more power and snow/offroad capability. The GC hemi is high on my list. I just want something with personality when it comes to the powertrain. I think it performed great in your test. I've been watching all of your recent off-road videos and I appreciate the effort you put into these!
Good review...as always.
This is an awesome video review
hey alittle side note, I and im sure alot of people would be interested in a comprehensive video about tires, I could totally watch you geek out about different tires and tech involving them etc. maybe on this channel or your second channel. Thanks for another great video. from one washington guy to another these videos rock!!
Awesome video!
You are ,definitely, one of the best car reviewers our there!
great review
I have the same problem with my 2019 Grand Cherokee Car Play. Sometimes it cuts out and a reboot of the system resolves. For the longest time, I just assumed it was my phone. Nice to hear it's not just me!
really digging this model.
This thing looks really great
Great video
God this thing was a beast on this snow hill climb. Another reason I love the grand Cherokee as the best all around vehicle. I have a 2014 GC overland EcoDiesel and it is a tank to drive for hours on end sometimes 8 hours or more in one day for my job and it just does it without any problems
I know that most journalists do car reviews base on the factory features, and that is fair, but you guys know the huge difference that a proper set of tires can do for the application. I rather have all the goodies and potential from factory, and if I want to go serious about dip snow I just put proper tires, it the easiest mode to do. But that is me.
Great video.
Amazing review! Can you review the Wagoneer and or Grand Wagoneer next? I would love to see them do this trail.
We have the Grand Wagoneer getting dropped off next week for filming.
Never been a fan of FCA products but this Jeep looks amazing! Would love to drive it as a rental.
Same… after working closely with fca for 6 years driving they cars and trucks… only rentals no purchases
@@deundray8792 Why?
Amazing Jeep reivew.
Thanks for the car play tip. I am having the same issue on my Grand Cherokee L and it stress me out because really use this feature . I had to reset to factory setting several times .
Ah yes, the almighty Nexen Zzzzuurh-ZeePriz tire. Great bite to it. XD
Awesome review, was waiting for this one.
Forget the car ... I am always amazed at all the hard work and effort put in for going up on the snow mountain by this channel Amazing exterior camera work !! Top tier channel here !!
Excited for you to review the new Trailhawk too!
Another great video/review.
Those tires are really holding back the performance in this test, when you first stopped and swapped to snow mode all 4 tires were spinning in place which is all on the tires being poorly spec’d for the off road package and not an issue with the vehicle. I would have thought that Jeep would put a 3 peak rated AT on the off road package, something like a Falken AT3W or at least the Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner AT.
The good news though is you are one set of tires away from a solid setup. The bad news is you spent $60k+ and spec’d the off road package just for Jeep to cheap out on tires.
He’s not driving the Trailhawk version. They have beefier tires, at least mine did.
@@megabyte7047 correct that it is not a trail hawk trim but he is driving with the optional “off road group” package which includes different wheels, tires(all terrains), electronic limited slip, skid plates, trail rated badge etc.
we live in Northern, ID... while our Jeep GC is the previous generation, it is brand new AND had the same tires as this tested Jeep. They are not very good. So we put Falken AT3W's on it and it's now amazing in all snow conditions. Night and day. So this was a good suggestion Mason.
Jeep didn't cheap out on the tires. Those tires are great for ride comfort and moderate weather conditions, which is what 95% of us need. If you live around the mountains or want to do serious off roading then simply swap out the tires as Sean did in the previous comment. Its literally that easy. :))
It looks really nice, but I’m still in love with my 15 overlander.
These cameras are amazing!
Great review, love the channel. One minor nitpick: I wish you had talked a bit more about the 4WD system on this rig in terms of how it works. (rear locker, front locker, center diff? etc) I saw many shots in the snow where all 4 wheels were spinning which is terrific, just not sure how it accomplishes it and how it's system compares to other SUV's.
Jeep's traction control system combined with their 4WD system is one of the best you can get right now. I agree always like hearing more about it
Check out prodigal overland for info. They have a few videos explaining it in detail
Quadra track II like he had does not use any locker, only uses a 2 speed transfer case with brake traction control on open diffs. top of the line Quadra drive II would have the elsd rear "locker". My wife and I drive one of each (previous gen) You can tell the difference in deep snow.
If the vehicle has the off road group option added to it to get the limited slip rear differential it isn't Quadra Trac II anymore, it is upgraded actually to Quadra Drive II.
Great review. I definitely would swap out tires for a god set of all terrains
Well for those pretty modest tires, I think that thing did a darn good job getting up to where it did. Interesting UConnect has had those issues in it's recent iteration, I feel like past versions were always known for being pretty darn solid (could be very mistaken though).
I’ve used Ucomnect on rental cars quite a bit and it was always “meh”. But now that I have a Ram and use it everyday it really is a solid system
This system needs the new software pack OTA update. My 2022 Ram Limited was the same way and I allowed the update. Been rock solid ever since.
The Uconnect 5 infotainment system, as seen in the latest Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, is built on Android Automotive. Uconnect 5's main menu. A key feature of new Android-based infotainment systems is robust support for multiple profiles.
The Uconnect system has always been solid.. it's the Android Auto/apple car play that sucks.. it always disconnects even on other vehicles not just jeep. It's Not a jeep thing.. I experience the same issue on a subaru, my 2016 JGC unconnect was always working properly
I have a 2019 Grand Cherokee and the infotainment system is flaky as hell. Even the presets mysteriously disappear and go back to some weird default. Android Auto and Apple Car Play are equally flaky. But I really like everything else about it so I just bought a new 2024 Grand Cherokee Summit for $74k. Crazy, I know. Its a lot of dough for a Jeep but man is it nice. Absolutely stunning interior and the air suspension makes the ride extremely plush on the road yet firm enough as the driver. It has a FLIR night vision camera, probably paying for something I will rarely if ever use but it is a cool feature. I was also going to look at the Lexus RX 350 but it just doesn't have the guts of a Jeep GC.
So I've heard that if you put it into sand and mud mode that that actually works better than the snow mode but then you get more tires spin
What I was most impressed from this video; That Subaru Jacket looks phenomenal! >:)
P.s. Thanks for the review. I always find it rewarding to watch your reviews on new vehicles. Too bad with current market prices I am not willing to purchase a vehicle, crazy these days...
Yes, rockin subaru gear!!!!
I have the 2021 Grand Cherokee L Overland Trim, and I too suffer from the Infotainment BT connection issues. I've been fighting that since day one on July 30th of last year. I have an appointment tomorrow to take it in for that, and a Power Steering issue. Whenever you remote start the car the power steering comes up with errors, and provides very little assistance until you drive it a bit and then power cycle the car. Great video!
I do like the one I bought, the Cherokee L (limited) version, but having said that - mine is about 4 months old with 4300 miles on it and it's been in the shop 3 times now for (2) different recalls, followed by a "service 4WD" indicator light, which was supposed to be fixed with some software update, then they ended up replacing a drivetrain control module, that still did not clear the error. The larger U-connect head unit screen blacks out at random intervals, and the front dome lights don't stay on when engaged by the ceiling button(s), until you hit it 3-4 times. Disappointing for a $52,xxx SUV
Great video! Does the Overland have a "sway bar disconnect"?
Hi, Thanks for showing how to reboot the infotainment system. Uconnect disconnect most of the time & it’s really takes a lot to reconnect.
I hope you can also review the lower trims like (Limited/Altitude/Laredo) of the Grand Cherokee L that come without the air hydraulics and 1nd transfer case. Gonna be different on the lower trims.
Snow tires on this thing and you have so much more fun doing this review.
I would get another one, used one day. 65K, it's too much for me. I had the older model V6 Overland. I loved it all around. Great car, zero issues. This one, looks really good.
I can't believe that a GC with a 3.6L v6 SUV is 65k. Crazy
@@brohammer If they could lower the price, more will buy/lease. They are great cars.
@@alp3781 agreed. I want one but that’s ridiculous
@@brohammer It is!!!
And to confuse the M+S rating (which i belive is a factor of tread depth and open tread area) with the 3 peak snowflake symbol even more - several all season and all terrain tires are now 3 peak snowflake rated, yet are still not comparable to a dedicated winter tire with the same rating. Also most snow modes are calibrated to keep wheels from slipping and keep the car on a slippery road, not deep snow or off road. Usually mud or sand modes allow for the wheelspin needed off road, that or traction disabled.
Very very good Grand Cherokee
Very impressive for not having snow tires. It sounded like in the end you were using the lockers, but I don't recall you saying you engaged them.
How do I find these fairly easy trails that are pretty close to the road/freeway? Always trying to find ones like the one in the video but never cam
Owned 4 jeeps with my current one a 2016 Summit Hemi V8, if you have experience driving off road Jeeps are the best in snow! Pulled out my share of 4 runners, expensive Range Rovers and everything in between! Also have a winch with expandable rope system, cables break and can be dangerous! Last but most importantly are the tires, don’t skimp on off-road or snow tires! You pay nuts you get squirrels!!!
More Nick ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even though I really like the Grand Cherokee and L version. We went and bought a Toyota Highlander simply because of the piano black. We keep our vehicles for 12+ years and having that scratched up would absolutely drive me crazy. Especially for such an expensive car.
or you could have installed the protective film over piano black
You bought a car based off color options? 😅 that's a first
WE bought a Overland in December 2021 it gave a credit for air suspension . That was the reason we wanted the Overland . I don't suggest buying a Jeep in Chehalis WA !
You need to be in Sand Mode for 100% full power. It turns traction control off. Driver is now in full control. Snow Mode kills the power which is exactly what you not want in deep snow. If you wanna do some donuts to play and learn car control, put it in Sand Mode which automatically turns off traction control. The 5.7 Hemi is the better engine.
At $65k im not taking it off-road 😂
Lol, but dedicated Jeep off-roaders are about $65k too
Somebody hears me lol
@@scooby2831 exactly no one heard u
I am with you.
Ditto brother…or sister, not allowed to ask anymore…..the idea of spending all this money for safety features is to keep from going off road…..gravel driveway is about as off-road as I want to get.
I have the Overland L…..gauge cluster….the cruise control indicated speed is very small.
Center stack….the 10.1” screen is nice but comes at a cost…..the cost being A/C vents….anyone in TX/NM/AZ will realize that real quick. Especially when you purchase in July
Wireless Charging pad…..recommended keeping the lid closed unless you actually have a phone charging. Too much risk of damage to the pad, phone or both.
The buttons on top of the infotainment screen are VERY poorly lit, no background lighting. You have to remember the switch position as in how many switches there are and count from left to right. Example…..traction control is the third button from the left. Fortunately most upper buttons are more of the less used systems.
Piano black interior parts could be covered with paint protection film.
I have an 2014 overland with Quadra drive included as an option…..no trail rated badge. It is my understanding, however, that any Grand Cherokee with a trail rated badge has Quadra drive, which includes the electronic rear limited slip differential.
I dig that Subaru jacket!
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if I was the only one?! Where did you get that jacket Ryan...us goofy subie guys really are jealous!
Question For Ryan - It seems you can't beat the off-road capability and clearance of the overland - I'm looking for a real world comparison to what the Subaru Ascent has to offer. I know this might seem like a bit of an apples and oranges question. I can look at specs, reviews and videos all day, but curious to know where the diminishing return on the Ascent truly shows in its AWD capability up and the Jeep Actually becomes necessary- justifying the 10k+ price gap on a new Ascent vs. a 2 year old used GCL Overland. We currently drive a 2015 Subaru Outback and have run out of space. I've got 2 kids, live Outside of Vancouver, BC and spend a fair amount of time on logging roads and marginally kept roads in the winter. Thanks.
"did I leave the shovel at the bottom of the mountain? Yes i did." Classic Ryan :)
Not sure if it was intentional but you said water "fjording" (fyording). Fjord is a noun. What you meant was just fording.
It was a slip and we left it in.
The cargo dimensions you talk about are for the 3-row not the 2-row. It actually has a fair bit less. Also, use mud setting in deep snow for more wheelspin.
Great video. Do these vehicles show you how high above sea level you are?
Is that surface rust in the shot of the air suspension?
Very nice in and out. At $65k, should have a more powerful engine.
yeah, massage seats, pan sunroof, camera mirror, all that extra they do these days, i would rather remove some in favor of 5.7, would also not argue bout incentives if they offer them like they use to
Agreed. I looked it up ..for that trim the 5.7 Hemi Still costs an extra $3200. Smh.
The twin turbo inline 6 should be coming soonish, that will displace around 525 hp. They also have the 4xe with a turbo 4 cylinder and the 5.7 hemi. The outgoing Overland goes for over 60k with the same engines so not sure why you were expecting a big change.
@@tylerdm1842 hopefully that engine will do well for them, new engine new problems yk
I still prefer the 2021 exterior grill and overall styling to the 2022 but interior wise the 2022 is awesome. The only thing I don’t like on the inside is the rotary transmission dial , I really don’t like those at all.
I hear ya but it clears out space for the phone charger that previous models don't have. I have a 2019 GC Limited and just bought a 2014 GC Summit. The Limited really is a great SUV and my daughter will love it but the new Summit trim is at a whole different level with air suspension and the drop dead gorgeous interior.
Great 4x4 system needs good winter tyres
That interior is super nice, but agree with the piano black, not good material. Also, I personally like when the screen is closer to eye level so I don’t have to look down
Jeeps are such a reliable vehicle!
Does the overland come with the off-road cameras like the trail hawk?
Good review! I'd love to have a Jeep but worry about their reliability track record. Handsome SUV though.
I'd be interested to see this test with a ~$45k Laredo. This truck is nice, but the price is in another world.
Inflation
i think the funny thing is that the $45k laredo isnt much more capable than any other cross over.
And when can you option a V8? I love my 06 Limited with the Hemi in it. Sucks on gas; but it tows great and is great in bad weather. This is way overpriced for what you get.
@@paulm6481 You misspelled corporate greed.
In which country this great video made
Really i want to visit this place
Nice vehicle
I've noticed similar issues with Apple Car Play cutting off in the India spec Jeep compass too. Cuts in and out randomly.
In the past, if it came with the ELSD, it was the quadradrive II 4 wheel drive system, has that changed?
21:40 and that's why I LOVE Jeep🤩🤩🤩
Hi your videos are great let the new Mercedes gls63 video come in the snow❤️❤️❤️👍
Telluride/Pilot should never be compared despite how good they are to a Grand Cherokee.
Yes, they are cross shopped guilty myself even but they are soooo different you really can’t compare them. Jeep is the boss🇺🇸 It truly is the American Range Rover and is approaching its capability
Nice reveiw I hope that suv has a skid plate
I generally find that snow mode is really for slippery, winter road conditions. When I’m navigating snow or thick slush I usually end up needing wheel spin.
I take my Overland off road in fact I'm going this weekend
You keep saying quadra trac ii in the video but if it has the rear eLSD (which the off road pack does) would it not be Quadra-Drive II?
Great review and driving. It really seems like these different driving modes Hinder the vehicle more than they do help because of reducing engine speed and applying the brakes when you seem to need momentum the most. The different ground clearance levels is a nice feature. Nonetheless… Way too expensive for my pockets. I like the Kia Sorrento.
Isn’t a Quadra track 2 with rear ELSD the same thing as the current version of Quadra Drive 2?
Great car and great review
On my trip to Florida over Christmas, the entertainment system would just crash every couple of hours I had a hold down the volume and the mode button but it was just the most annoying thing. I ran Android auto with a pixel 4a and apple car play with a 6s. Annoying and sorta scary when driving at night. BUT I love the jeep size and capability, especially since I don't like driving large SUVs this was perfect.
If they could fix the glitches it would make this a much more compelling offering. Yesterday the pedestrian collision detection just turned off on our 2022 Jeep Compass. It re-enabled just fine in the menu. But why Jeep, WHY?!
wow, i have my share of Android glitching in TV and hand held devices, but nothing like this, they need to get devs back in office chairs and do their work, it's not like they have to crawl in 130° attics to perform
I really don’t like snow mode. I get the idea of limiting throttle input so you don’t spin but really sometimes you want that spin. I have been stuck on icy hills where I had to turn off everything and just like the tires spin to get me up the hill. Sometimes that’s just what you need and snow mode won’t provide it.
When this beautiful car will be out I wanna buy it! I want the summit
