    2015 Jeep SRT8

    We found a SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee that we are thinking of picking up in the next day or so, Wondering what you guys that have them or had them think of them. Your thoughts Good or Bad.

    It's a fine machine. The only negative thing I can think of is that sometimes the downshift is a little harsh. I think it has to do with the software and the torque capacity of the 8 speed transmission. I have over 10K miles on it already and I haven't needed to return to the dealer for anything.
    I've had some pretty big tow vehicles before but this thing tows so well that you can forget that you have a trailer.

    I've got a 2014 that we bought new. After 18 moths and 12,000 miles we love the car. Worked well in all conditions, including a week in Vermont with temps predominantly between -5 and -16 F! Makes my long family drives SO much more fun. It's a perfect second car.

    I have a 2015 on order now. I hope it's as good a vehicle as our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that we are trading has been. I basically couldn't help myself from buying one after I test drove one that was on the lot. Really a sweet machine.

    I saw that on several sites. I wonder how much worse MPG can get in a 21st century car. LOL Also wonder what I'll get in trade after only 3 years in my 2014.

    I'm drooling.

    That's a great vehicle.

    Wonder if they will bother building it. The mileage is going to be spectacularly poor even when compared to the Hellcat cars (CAFE), and they already can sell every single Hellcat motor they can build for the Charger and Challenger.

    The Jeep brand doesn't need that much of a push either, so unless they can make even bigger margin on this vehicle, they may not build it at all. :-(

    Just picked up a new 2015 1 week ago from today. Glad to be back in one again
