Apparently jeep is now making a "trail worthy" GC.

Thoughts?

At least they're producing something (besides the Wrangler) that (appears) be to trail capable. I still wouldn't spend $41.9k on a vehicle that I'd be taking on the rocks. The new Jeep line just seems to be going more towards class and looks, opposed to what they used to be. Older GCs are great on the trails, and when lifted and everything, look mean. I personally just think Jeep isn't really what they used to be, IMHO.

 

....but its still a grand cherokee...

 

Idk.. I mean 40k? Are our xj's worth that much? And they do way more than what that could do! What ever happened to 4 low and all that? Now it's a ****? Kinda stupid.. But still think its cool there trying!

 

Ya for $40k not worth it. but i was surprised to see the rocker skids and other skid plates on the factory vehicle. not to mention the air bag suspension is pretty cool.

 

Meh ive never liked the idea of wheeling new vehicles, unless its a Ford Raptor ha ha.

 

Haha yeah same.. I just can't see any new vehicle offroad unless its a wrangler of course.

 

40k! Holy ****. I 'll wait til they sell for 1000 dollars like most ZJs and some Wjs around here.

 

I would be scared to wheel a 40K jeep, even if it was made for it. But damn that interior looks SHARP! I think Jeep did an excellent job with the new GC. Very classy and good looking.

 

ive seen a few of those Porsche suvs down a trail before to get to a lake. not a hard trail but you wouldnt want to take a car.
