T
he Jeep Grand Cherokee is a unique fixture in the automotive market, in that it is designed to fit almost any budget. It starts with the Laredo trim at just over $32,000. A Car and Driver review states; “the base Laredo offers all the Grand Cherokee’s legendary capability both on- and off-road at a tolerable price.” From there, it goes to the top-of-the-line Trackhawk, with a base price of $86,900, and can easily run into six figures if jacked up with options. The Trackhawk runs on a 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter, Hellcat V-8 engine, the same motor that’s in the high-end Dodge Challenger and Charger muscle cars. And there are plenty of choices in between. The Grand Cherokee comes in a mind-boggling eleven trim models, so you can choose according to what you want for the engine, tires, interior accoutrements, and technology. And of course, the price you’re willing to pay.
