2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt8 on 2040-cars
Miles City, Montana, United States
|
This is an amazing two owner Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. It was originally owned by a woman in California and then I bought it from a dealer down there and sold to a friend of mine in town here. He owned it for less than a year but decided it didn't fit his needs as well as he had hoped. He intended to drive it year round but decided that it was too nice of a vehicle to drive in Montana winters and then purchased an older Chevrolet pickup to drive during the winter. The Chevrolet broke down on him on the highway here a month or two ago and he decided that it didn't make any sense to have an unreliable older vehicle for the months that you need a very reliable vehicle up here. He traded both vehicles off on a four door Dodge Ram 1500. My friend is meticulous with his vehicles. He purchased the vehicle when it had 40000 miles on it and he wasn't positive if she had done all the maintenence to it that is required at 30,000 miles so he had my dealership (a Jeep dealer) do all the required work. He had the oil changed (with 0/40 synthetic Mobil), front and rear axle fluids, transfer case fluid and spark plugs all done on 5/16/2013 when the vehicle had 40033 miles. He had the oil changed again and the transmission fluid and filter replaced on 8/15/2013 when the vehicle had 43187 miles. We used all Mopar recommended parts and fluids that are required for the SRT vehicle. He just put on new Toyo Proxes tires all the way around and they have under 1,500 miles on them. He installed a Mopar Cold Air intake during the summer as well. He only drove it once or twice in bad weather and decided he didn't want to subject it to it. The only bad thing on the whole vehicle is on the liftgate the first owner had a cell phone antenna installed and drilled a hole in the panel. My friend removed the antenna and installed the Mopar emblem to cover it up. If this Jeep isn't one of a kind it's one of very few, it sounds great, the interior is immaculate, and the attention to detail the second owner gave to the vehicle is impossible to miss. This vehicle was his baby and you can tell the second you look at it. |

Build a Jeep Gladiator 392 next? The Hummer H3T Alpha blazed the trail
Tue, Nov 17 2020The 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 will combine the go-anywhere capability of a Jeep's iconic off-roader with the grunt of a V8 for the first time in decades. As cool as that is, we can't help but think Jeep is missing out on a huge opportunity to pair that 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with the Wrangler's pickup cousin, the Jeep Gladiator, in the form of a Mojave 392. Autoblog took part in a media Q&A session with Jeep ahead of the Rubicon 392's announcement in which the company's product higher-ups said that there are currently no official plans to build a 392 variant of the Gladiator pickup. But whether or not Jeep has plans, it certainly has precedent, and from our perspective, a market. Rewind to 2008, better known as one of the worst possible years to introduce a gas-guzzling, V8-powered pickup truck. Enter the 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, the first variant of Hummer's midsize truck/SUV hybrid to be offered with a 5.3-liter V8. The 300-horsepower small-block was an upgrade to the sturdy but relatively uninspiring 3.7-liter inline-5 that the H3 lineup had inherited from its midsize pickup platform mates. As our Jeremy Korzeniewski noted in the Rubicon 392's introductory piece, an open-top Jeep has not been offered with an optional V8 for as long as the "Wrangler" nameplate has existed. The last Jeep 4x4 to do so was still a CJ, or civilian Jeep, and the 304 cubic-inch engine came from American Motors Corporation. Incidentally, this generation of the Wrangler is also the first to be offered in a pickup variant. Cue the beard-stroking. Now, frankly, it's not even remotely fair to compare the H3T's powertrain offerings to the decade-newer Gladiator's, but the Hummer actually boasts a few advantages over Jeep's modern pickup. While most of the Jeep's off-road specs give it an edge, the Gladiator doesn't come close to the H3T's 30.1-degree departure angle, for instance. And in more practical terms, the stubbier H3T has other maneuverability advantages. The Gladiator has 3" of wheelbase and 5" of overall length on the H3T, and a 22.4-foot turning radius to show for it. The Hummer's? Just 18.5'.
Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
