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.

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.

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.
