The cherokee shall be your 1rst choice.

Now,if you ask me which cherokee would step away & deffinetly avoid the grand cherokee's last generation.

Go for any cherokee from 1999 thru 2004,to me the best cherokees ever built.
My sister owns the 2002 limited edition & overheard nothing but excelent inputs.it's fast,powerfull as should do as a V8 & the trim is full luxury,i'll go further & say even more luxury then the new limited generation with the 5.7L hemi engine.

I can't say much of the jeeps,the only model i've even test drive from the new generation is the SRT8 grand cherokee because it's a monster.
