Traded the 2001 Ford Exploder in for this:
6689
6690
6691
2007 Grand Cherokee SRT8
K&N cold air
BB Tri Flow cat back
Rear entertainment package
Navi
Rear back up camera
Parking guideance
It is VERY nice.
Got it from a Ford dealer in PA - got 17.3 mpg on the 130 mile drive home.
It's the new winter beater
:drool:
17.3 mpg!
Does the 6.1 get better gas milage than the 5.7??
I don't think my '08 GC gets close to that

I'll get more pic's today.
Actually, I got 18 mpg on the highway last night - just cruising at about 68-70 mph - tires inflated to about 35 psi.
It is rated at I think 16 on the highway. I see around mid 15's around town.
This thing is a blast to drive - sooooooo smooth. Quiet at cruise speed but loud when I lay into it.
Haven't raced it yet :(

It has quadra-drive II which is full time awd.

It's a Jeep thing. Even *they* don't understand. How do you put 'jeep' emblems on a mall-crawling pavement queen?
No knock on the new acquisition, though - That's a sharp SUV.

LOL. I was going to make the same post with different wording.
1.) Awesome new ride, I love the SRT-8 Jeeps. I got my ass kicked by one once.
2.) I will never "understand" how a salty war machine turned into a soccer ball hauling, yankee candle scented, Lifetime network wagon.
Cuz range rovers, land cruisers and hummers see so much off-road time

Didn't say they were any better.
The H2 IS the Canyonero.
Ill have to agree that the majority of SUVs are 'pavement queens'...
I have always wailed on my jeeps... They've held up (for the most part)

Actually, you can tow with a SRT8.
Mopar makes a hitch and cat back to allow it to tow 3500 lbs. Not a huge amount but it still can be done.
I don't plan on driving off road w/ mine - it is the new snow beat though :)

I saw a CJ in a parking lot on my way to work with a big "MUST SELL" sign on it, so I rolled by for a look. The body looked like it was made out of Swiss cheese, so needless to say, I won't be a mod anytime soon :)

East coast has been **** so at dealing with me. Dcx was pretty good stock with mail order tunes and Johan has been my favorite by far.
