geoffrey fury Got a cactus up your ass? What's so bad about being proud to be one of the workers who build these things?

Joe Laney I love this car alot and I wish I will buy one someday

I just purchased a second hand Trailhawk. I absolutely love it. Fabulous car. Good job.

Just bought a used 2014 with about 77,000 miles, excited to see how it performs in Wisconsin winters. Really enjoying it so far.

Hey I’m thinking of maybe picking up one of these Jeep’s. How did it hold up over the years ? Any expenses?

4500 lbs is ONLY if you get the tow package. Without it, it's only 2000 lbs, even with the V6. I own one.

ib516 but he said "up to 2000lbs" which means that the cherokee can't haul more than that even properly equipped. he should've said up to 4500lbs

Clay Martin Agreed!

omar khan 26,000+ in our first year is pretty good. I appreciate any help you can provide to help us grow in 2014 - Dave

i love my cherokee, too! i have the 2.4L 4cyl and i'm averaging 31mpg currently. i've averaged up to 33.6mpg on a long highway drive. never gotten below 28mpg

Mazda CX-9 is not a compact SUV, you were probably thinking about the CX-5

Well... for Europe and Africa (where I live), this is categorised as a midsize SUV. A compact SUV would be something like a Jeep Renegade and and a large SUV would be something like a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Wrangler would be categorised as an off-road SUV.

John Daigle That's such a personal choice and there are too many to list in the comments here. Besides, I would need more information on your daily habits, price, geographic location, etc. Please keep browsing my reviews and happy shopping - Dave

Everyman Driver Dave - I drive about 40 miles per day, mostly highway, live in New England, and am looking to spend $25k-30k. I like the Cadillac ATS (base model) and the Honda Accord (Sport or EX). I've watched your review on the Honda Accord and it seems like you get a lot of "bang for your buck". Any other suggestions would be highly appeciated. Also, what is your view on AWD v. RWD? The ATS comes in both, but it also has a snow/ice mode, which is something I see more and more cars offering. Does this snow/ice mode negate the need for AWD?

That is what I tell everybody, and about 50% say that that think that the Cherokee is ugly, I don't agree with them!

I like it

what? Im 6'4" and I daily this car everyday with no head touching.

I'm interested in knowing this as well.

Well since I posted I actually bought a 2015 trailhawk model and that version at least is an "always-on" 4 wheel drive. Very good car but the denomination "compact cross over" is really not appropriate, it's much bigger than many vehicules in that range. Hope it helps ;)

Guillaume Doriat Thanks for the quick reply! Congrats on the Trailhawk! I'm just looking for a winter daily driver. Won't do many, if any, trails, so I'm looking at the Latitude. It really doesn't much matter to me if it's a full time 4x4, as the fuel mileage is pretty respectable anyway. I'm just curious. I currently have a Camaro and drive it in the winter, just not on days that it snows ;) Luckily, I have had access to an old Jeep to drive on snow days. However, now I'm looking to purchase a full time winter ride so I can put the Camaro to sleep for a few months and keep her away from the salt! I agree about the size. I think it is very similar in size and shape to my mom's BMW X5, which would never be categorized as a compact crossover.

cutielulu593 You're welcome. I most likely won't be doing much trail either but the Trailhawk comes with some pretty good options as well that weren't standard on Latitude trim (that's the North trim I think here in Canada). For example the Trailhawk comes with a full size spare tire, the exact same model as the "regular" 4 other tires actually which is always pretty nice. On the winter part particularly I live in Quebec so we have tons of snow every year (I don't know how your state compares) which means a LOT of salt and gravel everywhere (because the roads are poorly built in Quebec) and this will be the first winter for my car. If you're concerned about salt, Jeep offered me an extra anti rust treatment for the car when I ordered it at first (3 month waiting period almost to the day). A comment I sometimes got from a few "purists" was that it was "not a Jeep" (I replied it's simply not designed for the 60s) or looked like a "ladies car" just like the branding for the Compass and Patriot (the first being apparently considered to be more for women and the later for men). Now, despite the comments, I bought it and compared to the other models in the Jeep line-up in the "small SUV" (Patriot, Compass, Cherokee and Wrangler, the Grand Cherokee is really not playing in the same court) it is the best at many things: very spacious, the seats are very comfy (the Trailhawk comes standard with Premium Cloth, in fact they're about 50% leather, or the Standard Leather, Premium Leather is an option), some have said cargo space with seats unfolded is limited but I never had any issue with it (except for moving into a new apartment or going to Ikea of course), the gas consumption is reasonable on my V6 (that's an 1200$ option but I really advise to take it, makes the car much more reactive, especially since the Trailhawk is a bit heavier than the other) which is 12.5-13.5 liters per 100km mixed driving (I'm French so no idea what this is in imperial, obviously it also depends how you drive), the car is also very good at managing its consumption in cruise control. I had considered the Tiguan, the CRV, the RAV 4 and a few other SUVs in both new and used but the Cherokee really blew them out of the water on so many points the choice was pretty damn clear.

Guillaume Doriat I live in Upstate New York, so we get tons of snow here, too. The Trailhawk looks awesome, but it's more than I want to spend. Since it'll just be my winter ride, I don't need all the bells and whistles. But the cold weather package is a must! I'm so glad Jeep offers heated cloth seats, so it's not necessary to upgrade to leather! I'll definitely be going with the V6! I've never driven anything with less and I don't think I could do it. I need the power!

no answer ??

Mike Norton thank you for the clarification - Dave

If it doesn't have the factory tow package, it's rated at 2000#. The tow package is more than just a class 3 hitch, ie. trans/oil coolers, increased cooling capacity, and a different final drive ratio.

nope

its not ugly idiot

Matthew Ryan Spencer Back isn't that bad.I could deal with the back

Tim Hines What kind of weed have you been smoking?? That is a hideous car. Its ugliness competes with the Aztek. Go get some glasses

Because the majority of their vehicles can't hack it off road anymore. Soccer moms took over this company.

The Trailhawk has the badge.

"majority" can't. Trailhawk is the only version of the cherokee that can actually perform well off road. It actually performed surprisingly well at moab.

The limited model gets the push button start and the leather trim.

thats because its chinese, designed for the chinese market who love the cherokee

You are a racist ;)

yes

No it doesn't. Mine is between 19/23

Are you hard of reading lol

Thanks for your comment on a video I did 5 years ago.. I’ll do work before my next terrible terrible review :-)

if you're talking about jeeps in general and off roading, thats not entirely true, if you're talking about a more modern and sporty jeep you're poorly mistaken.

Ever since the Compass, Jeep has watered down their toughness.

+H Siu its not a jeep. its a kia

Ummm, no it's not. best Jeep

its a Jeep not a kia
