As ridiculous as it may sound, the reason I have decided to sell this fantastic automobile after only 487 miles is because it is TOO nice.  I am a building contractor that was looking to replace my aging Suburban, that I use daily for work, with something more a little more exciting.  There aren’t many SUV’s that are more exciting that the Jeep SRT so I tracked one down online that was in transit to a local dealer, equipped with all the perfect options.  As soon as it arrived I took delivery the next day.  Before unleashing it to the public though I made subtle modifications to the truck that I feel should have been part of the factory SRT package from the beginning.  All work was done professionally by a top-level body shop.  Here is a list of the improvements:

  1. The factory chrome grill surrounds were painted Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat (exact match to the trucks main color, but a slight contrast to the solid black front fascia that is standard on all SRT’s).
  2. The factory plastic grills were replaced with black powder coated stainless steel grills, manufactured by T-Rex.  Please be aware that these first two modifications required the complete removal of the front bumper cover and front fascia, not an easy job.  This was all done professionally and perfectly.
  3. The front factory chrome Jeep emblem was replaced with a gloss black emblem, a genuine Mopar part.
  4. The rear factory chrome Jeep emblem was removed and professionally painted gloss black to match the front emblem. (A black emblem for the rear tailgate is not yet available in the aftermarket.)
  5. One chrome SRT emblem was added to each front door and looks completely factory, they are also genuine Mopar parts.  Surprisingly, there is only one SRT emblem on the truck from the factory and that’s on the rear tailgate.  Not enough SRT advertisement, in my opinion, for a 70k automobile.
  6. And now for the most important modification of all.  All the chrome trim surrounding the side windows was painted satin black.  In my opinion, there is no place for chrome window trim on an SRT, it looked really out of place.  The satin black paint looks as if it came like that from the factory and looks absolutely stunning.

The truck also comes with an extended warrantee, which extends the factory 36 month/36,000 mile warrantee to 60 months/75,000 miles.

The next desirable feature that this truck has was gotten through pure luck.  When the body shop did the paint matching for the grill surrounds, he told me that the factory Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat paint (paint code PXR) comes in 9 different shades, which is considered normal production variations.  This truck has the darkest black of all nine shades.  The black paint on some Grand Cherokee’s is light and looks very charcoal like, which is why I was hesitant to get black at first, but this car is very black and looks awesome.  It’s just the luck of the draw.  You can order a brand new Jeep in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat and it may not look like this one.

As far as use goes, the car was driven back and forth to the body shop (to perform the aforementioned upgrades), twice to dinner and once to work.  It was when I finally drove it that one day from job site to job site that I finally realized there was no way I could use this beautiful truck for work.  I had to find a safe place to park it at whatever construction site I visited and worried about it all day long.  The truck is just too nice for my needs.  Knowing in the future I would eventually be driving it through mud, gravel, etc., to get to my job sites made me a little nauseous.  I drove it straight home and it has been in my climate controlled garage ever since.  So if you are looking for an essentially brand new Jeep SRT, only better, this is the truck for you.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.
