Dodge Chrysler really does make some weird decisions sometimes. From the PT cruiser to the Dodge Hellcat lineup, they do things out of the ordinary over the years. Even though the decisions are against the mold, I believe this is to their benefit. One car that always shocked me was the all wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - an unsuspecting grocery getter with a hemi V8. We take it back to one of the past models to see where it really started to make it's stride in the industry and see if this truly is a great vehicle for the family car enthusiast. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday!

Best quarantine vehicle?
GO.
The M1A1 Abrams, sleek, strong, practical, Murica.
Jeep Track Hawk and the knight XV

@@zohaibhussain2524 Yeah you can get an audi or a rangerover if you want your quarantine vehicle to break down as soon as possible.
Citroen 2cv and or Pontiac Aztec cuz ain’t nobody going near those.
Jeep SRT8: a vehicle that can drag sti’s while carrying 6 friends and a trunk full of toilet paper.
Sam Justice deadass we smoked a challenger while carrying 5 people😂
@Blck Mach1 a 2v is any better? Lol
Not very impressive considering the sti is a 4 cylinder meant for rally driving not drag racing
@@iked4421 Facts
Isaac D congrats you can read the brochure
My oldest brother had a 07 Jeep SRT8 with the 6.1 Hemi, it was an absolute beast! I remember he beat a 6th gen Camaro SS and the owner had a dumbfounded look on his face, a true sleeper suv
Kevin Jimenez really ?? I GAP those 6.1 hemi all day long with no hassle (bondstock here) 😳 now those 6.4 hemi are just about even with me ...
@@red38cash18 no you dont lmao
When this generation of SRT Jeep came out I got the chance to drive one at the auto expo we have here. I was shocked for 2 reasons.
1. I was one of the few in line to drive it so got extra time in it.
2. It was shocking how good it drove for a big suv.
I've wanted one ever since. They have their issues but they have such a personality.
You know he's getting one of these when he has some kids 😂
if he does get kids
Everyone else during thr quarntine: staying home
David during the quarntine: reviews a car
David, just gotta say, Ive been watching your car reviews since almost the beginning. I really enjoy them. Please keep it up as much as you can... Thank you
I’m trying my very best my dude. I appreciate that so much
i enjoy em more
Very cool SUV, I'd get a 2014+ to get the 8 speed 👌👌
That G8 Guy I got a 2012 and I agree because man got a 2014 and when where on the highway he always crushes me on a stretch
Oh shit you have a G8 👌🏾
I have an '07 Jeep SRT8 and a 2015 Jeep SRT both are tuned..and honestly my '07 SRT8 (5 speed) is quicker and has more of a raw muscle feel. However the only thing i like better about my '15 SRT (8 speed)is the interior. Its fast but its bigger..I would have to say the original body style on the 07 Jeep SRT8 is more aggressive, stands out, and overall the meanest looking out of both of em..
2014 are like 8-10k more then a 212
@@topofthebottom6954 100% agree
I’ve been waiting for this one. Great review bro!
I got a 2012 and the first thing that I did was delete the MDS system, not just in the computer but the cam, lifters(hellcat lifters), and plugs for the modules that I got from MMX. After deleting the MDS I switched to 15/50 synthetic oil, the 0-40 recommended oil is for the MDS system which flows better but is way too thin for the bearings in the bottom end if you have a lead foot and see 6K rpm often. It's kind of weird because I'm getting better gas mileage now that I'm running in V8 mode all the time. One more thing, get ready to replace the rod bearings once you reach 100K, they are known to fail because they are Cheap(Cheena) bearings instead of high-performance ones like Clevite 77 or other name brands. Other than that and a few more minor issues, good vehicle.
I really enjoy the back stories and your take on vehicles
I love grand Cherokee because of the way it looks, but also it just sounds great with the auto, the way it shifts fast and you hear that bit of redline. My favorite is the wk1/the boxy one
Absolutely love my SRT Jeep!! Excellent video brother. Thanks for the tribute!!! Cheers
I been waiting for this for so long!!
As a new owner of a wk2 srt I have to say I’m impressed. Coming from various other cars such as a Trailblazer SS, Pontiac G8 GT, IS300, SR20 240sx and others. This car is the complete package of luxury and speed. Plus mine actually gets very good mpgs. From CT to NJ I used a half of tank of gas. The truck in this video is my trucks twin minus the tinted tails. Black grill, intake, door badges and all.
Thanks for the video it was a relief to see something else besides dread. Your enthusiasm makes this awful more bearable. Thank you for your content and upload in these chaotic times. #keeponbeingapositiveinfluence.
I’m been waiting for this and we need a 06-10 charger srt8 review 👍
Needs to be a 08-10 because the world Is flooded with 05-07 the later models had all leather and heated cooled cup holders
Been dying to see an SRT8 jeep on here 🔥🔥👏👏👏 ty bro
I'm hopeful going to be picking up a '12 SRT next year I'm so freaking excited
Awesome video the new Srt8 Jeeps are cool but I love my first gens haha
Love you’re videos man
Thank you!
Hold up. Had to go change my pants after the exhaust notes from this beast.
i love these jeeps a friend of mine had a 06 cherokee with the 5.7 hemi he ran it open headers you could hear that thing from half a mile away and it was pretty quick too
Nice finally a Jeep srt8 on your channel
David has been killing it with the intros!
I love the boxier WK1 Grand Cherokee SRT8s from the late 2000s but that’s just my opinion. Still a badass ride
I've always loved the srt jeeps. The 1998 5.9 limited Grand Cherokee is what really got me into thr sleeper jeeps. It's pretty much the srt jeep of the 90's. The 5.9 limited and srt jeep are both fun pieces of machinery
I just want the sport trucks to make a comeback. Every company already has the engine for it. Just paint the bumpers and put brembo brakes on them and slap a badge on the side.
Ugh, a couple years after this and it got a great 8 speed transmission and actually a really nice interior. They really got it right in recent years
I loved my 2008 SRT Grand Cherokee. I don’t miss the 8 mpg though
This is perfect for me I’m actually on the market for a new daily thanks for the review brother
Christopher England this ones for sale lol
Depending how much you drive, prepare to waste on gas! I drive around 15000 miles a year. I easily spend 300 a month on gas on my WK2 Jeep SRT with the 8 speed transmission. Gas where I'm at is around 3.50.
I liked the first gen body better aesthetically (center exhaust, body kit, headlights) and also because you could tell it apart instantly. I still have to look closer to differentiate the new srt8s.
The hard bassy edm mixed with the nice shots oof 🙏❤
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good
Yesss been loving these things more and more! So cool they’re on the quirky line with these and they do so well haha. Also been seeing a lot if Durango SRT’s too. Didn’t think I’d say this but V8 AWD SUV’s are BADASS lol.
lol
U sure? Suburbans qualify in that
SNFriedM I didn’t think they came in AWD?
Had a 2013 V6 Overland and Im dying to get my hands on the same gen SRT8 or the newer 2014 and up SRT8's😍
Just love the sound and the looks
Thanks David!
I just picked up a 2015 jeep srt8 last month, best daily I’ve had yet
I love my wk1 srt8. Do a wk1 turbo review
I remember when i first saw a hellcat. was about 1min from my house over by the golf club and corn fields. It was a nice purple, this was around winter of 2018. not too long ago but they were not everywhere like today
I love the SRT Cherokee. I don't care which generation they're all great.
The WK2 is awesome and all, but you need a solid review of a WK-1! They are solid workhorses
JaredEriksen wk1’s are the best. But people go for better interior/electronics. Smh
@@brokeboybrian7663 can't fix stupid
And yes I am biased because I own one
@@JaredEriksen yes people always go to gadgets all I need is bluetooth for music and sunroof dont care about nun else really
JaredEriksen agreed! I knew the wk2 interior and electronics are better. But the feeling of the wk1 can’t be beat
Im a wk1 owner.....love it !
i love these jeeps. i drive a normal 05 grand cherokee and i always wanted an srt8
Love SRT8 and trackhawk! I always wanted one tbh
I have a 06 and I can say it shocked me when I first drove it. Crazy powerful lol
Love the jeep srt8 but love the styling of the wk1 more
Lambochaser All black wk1 srt8 is the way to go
Yeah wk1 looks a million times better imo
I’m glad I got a 2007 wk1 black SRT8 prefer the aggressive body style over the new one! Way more vicious!
Lambochaser same
@@yodaddy6340 how basic can you be to think a all black wk1 is that cool ?
I have a 2012 grand cherokee overland with the 5.7l hemi girl moves real well. Wanted an srt but damn they hold their value.
Actually have the same model and year and yes I would highly recommend them.... best Vehicle I’ve had to date.....even though the newer ones have the 8 speed 🤦🏽♂️
Wish I had one, have a 15’ Cherokee and a 12’ 392 challenger to compensate though.
Heck ya, love the Srt8
To be honest i think the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is underrated , to me had the best of worlds now i know the trackhawk is a totally different monster but think about it this was the trackhawk before the actual trackhawk , i just love the Jeep dodge collaborations it just looks so good and sounds so amazing 💯
I have always wanted an srt8 jeep to make into a track car but they are not that cheap where I live. Ive driven one and I was amazed by it because of how fast and torquey they are
I'm really really considering one of these.
If you got fat pockets and paying premium gas is no problem, go for it! You wont regret it. Smiles per gallon baby!
Same..just waiting for the right price especially here.. 100k new but used is around 35 -50k depending on kms
Finally some more Mopar! 🔥🔥 you need to do a charger! 😈
A friend of mine had one and it was a blast.
Good review man!
Wk2 is a nice vehicle. The wk1 is a raw aggressive experience. Add a built motor and turbo and hold on. Ask me how i know😉🍻
gtpfiero yes! My oldest bro had added a pro charger to his wk1 and it destroyed cars off the line!
I have a 4.7 Cherokee and it is the most fun car I have ever driven. It’s unexpectedly quick and almost never breaks loose.
Would love to see your take on the SUV that started the 'fast 4x4 craze', the Jeep 5.9 limited. Fastest SUV in the world for 1998 and unlike the SRT8s that followed, you could use the old 5.9 off road as well (smaller wheels that allow all terrain tyres, low range 4x4, solid axles, plenty of clearance). Sure they're not as fast, but the character is there!
I have one and love it, BUT maintenance cost is hiiigh!
you need to review a wk1 now
You should try and do a trailblazer SS
I've tuned a few of these and they are really fun after tuning.
You still tune these?
@@videogamegusto7852 yep
I’ve just bought a 2011 jeep SRT8 because I like fun🚙💨
It’s 2022 June 5th….I’ll be back to this video in a few years once Ive purchased one of these bad boys !!!! Mark my words
You get one yet?
i had a 2012 and now a 2019.. fantastic daily driver if u dont mind the mpg! the 8 speed is loads better
These things are really cool, definite sleeper too.
Awesome Jeep they’re sick!
When the kids are quarantined from school because of the coronavirus we binge watch that dude in blue!!
One of very few SUV's that actually is just that...Sports Utility. Fulfills the needs of many types of people, and with little compromise (other than a thirst for fuel). They are an even better bargain in the used marketplace, and have a drivetrain that you can womp on, without fear of blowing it up, on a regular basis.
Damnit David. You made me start shopping for a SRT8 Jeep.
Love my 14, the 8 speed is a huge difference especially getting 18-20 mpg on the highway.
How's it doing? Considering a 2014.
They are awesome!!
Always loved them since 2006
I love having thatdudeinblue videos before school
school canceled tho #corona
Can u review a wk1 srt8 bro 👌😍 i love all the srt jeeps bro its like a big fun muscle wagon with lots of attitude
I love the Jeeps and the SRT they look sweet and fast 💨
nice exhaust sound , what brand ?
I've got an 08 Jeep SRT8 and 2019 Trackhawk..but in my opinion I like the 08 body style better
You should review TheStradman's 6x6 Gladiator once the build is done
I’ve always wanted one!
A friend had one of these,got it impounded the first week for excessive speeding,it then spent too much time in the shop for warranty issues,got rid of it after that as it was clearly gonna be problematic.
You should do a Ram SRT-10
one of the SRT durango’s came onto the highway unnoticed from a ramp and really got into the throttle before matching the traffic speed and there was nothing but suv’s and toyota’s around me and i couldn’t find out who tf sounded so nice. i was looking for a damn mustang around me. 😂
they’re awesome
Check out the Firehawk that Asyn from Farm Truck fame built.
Those are badass! I drive a 2014 Durango RT (daily) and a 97 built auto Eagle talon (Sunday fun day car). Those are on my channel.
When you are in NJ you should come review them .. 2 for 1 deal lol
Those things are sweet and are the ultimate sleeper.
Love my 06 WK1 . Cammed hemi. Break necks every day.
Very Cool SUVs!
These are awesome. And what about the 300 SRT8? Those are sleepers
The newer models with the 8 speed are way more responsive hehehehe still a badass SUV though. 🔥
Love them. Best vehicle for the car guy with a family who doesn't want a wagon🤔
I'm surprised you didn't do a trackhawk or other boosted one.
whats the name of that intro song that beat was fire!!!
I would love to have one cuz it’s the family car while still being able to be fast and put money into it for more speed and ride
David gotta switch the camera views do it like the smokingtire
You need to try the SRT durango. Also has the 392, but way better trans, suspension, tuning, and braking.
The 14-2020 SRT Jeep has the same trans, engine, suspension, and breaks as the Durango.
U got to do a mazda cx7 with the 2.3l turbo
So my dream car is a mustang. Shelby to be exact (can't afford one) im in a pickle with myself because I love these things. With the mustang id need a beater for snow. This can go through snow and everything plus tow stuff.
My question to you is I need an honest answer, would this thing give the enjoyment a 5.0 or roush would? I'm not planning on having kids so that isn't the issue. I want a v8 though but idk if i can afford 2 vehicles. I see what these things can do and have drove them. I just want your opinion
You need to test a newer one with the 8 speed! I think the 2012s were 5 speed boxes not ZFs
The 5 speeds were even slower than the 6.1s
In 2014 the 8 speed came out. The v8 2012s have a 6 speed but it only utilizes 5 speeds.
Jesse Bergunder wrong, the 2012-2013 were 5 speeds. Not 6
Joel alejandro Carrera arreola WRONG they use the 65RFE it utilizes 5 gears as i said but there are 6 gears. I have a 2012 grand cherokee with the 5.7l when in drive you can shift left and right (-,+) and it shows the gear on the gauge cluster. IT GOES UP TO....... YOU GUESSED IT 6. Want a video i will make it.
Jesse Bergunder we’re talking about srt jeeps dumb dumb
