I'm looking to replace my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2002 4.7 84 k miles with a used 2004-2007 Dodge durango.

I have been looking for awhile trying to get one which has the Limited package, Loaded with moon, leather, DVD, leather seates and heated. Like I said pretty well loaded.

Seems I'm having a problem finding one that does not have a Hemi. The ones I located seem to have all the features but all have the Hemi.

Did Dodge make the Limited Loaded with the 4.7 engine or did they all come with the Hemi?

I have seen plenty of the 4.7 engine but they are the SLT.ST, SLX models with partial options.

I know I should not even be looking for one with the gas mileage but I don't drive far and I get about the same with my Jeep.

Any input appreciated

 

Dont know what kind of fuel economy you get with your jeep 4.7, but my ' 04 5.7 gets about 14/18 with my foot in it all the time. As you go up in year they started making them with mds which turns off four of the cylinders if not under heavy acceleration or tow load. Good luck.

 

The Jeep I get 15 city and 22 highway. I know the 4 cyl do turn off on some Hemis but I'm trying to stay away from any Hemi. I have plenty of time and will keep looking for a loaded Limited with a 4.7. Dont need all the Hemi power

 

THe 2004-2006 have differerent front ends and hoods than the 2007-2009,

Thanks never noticed what has the better front end?

Also Did Dodge make the Limited Loaded with the 4.7 engine or did they all come with the Hemi?

thanks

 

I like the 2007-2007 front end bettter and I think the Limited came with the Hemi standard,

You'd be absolutely silly NOT to get the HEMI, they get the same, if not better gas mileage than our 4.7s. Not to mention about 335hp from our 4.7s 235.

 

If cost is no object, the Hemi would be a better option. Maintenance wise, the 4.7 is a little easier, and in my area, the HEMI symbol on the back tailgate adds about $3000-$4000 to the price tag.

To answer your question about the Limited... I've seen that high end trim in both 4.7 and HEMI varieties, so yes, the Limited did come with both options.

 

It's only going to add $3-4000 if its brand new. Youguys should learn to use craigslist. There are some excellent deals on there if you keep a look out.

 

DSS:

Don't be a afraid of the Hemi. As stated, you can find a good deal on either engine without too great of a price penalty.

The fuel prices are in your favor, so this is a plus. If you have not driven a Hemi, I encourage you to do so just so you know the difference.

The early 04 Hemi's did have a valve train issue, but that usually shows itself pretty early on. I have owned my 04 SLT Hemi for 14 months now, and do enjoy it.

If you should find a good deal on an 04 or 05 with less than 70k, you can have the remainder of the 7/70 powertrain warranty transferred to you if you would be the 2nd owner.
