Anyone know anything about Jeeps? Specifically late 2nd Gen Grand Cherokees.

Needing to know if there is a 3rd row seat option available for those models or not. Asked in the Jeep section but no response yet and I haven't found much online yet.

Looking at buying a SUV, need 3rd row seats, Durango is high on the list but would like to consider Jeeps too.

 

2nd gen Cherokee (84-01) or Grand Cherokee? (99-04)

Neither one ever had third row, in fact, I don't think it started until the '10, or '11 model year.....

 

Grand Cherokee.

Well that sucks. Will have to look harder at the Rangos....

Thanks.

 

Yeah, the GC's start getting stupid expensive the newer they get.... Holy smoke. Try looking at the GC Overlands.... Wow.

 

Yea, they're crazy.

I was approved for a loan and could have gotten a newish, maybe 2012, GC that had 3rd row seating, but decided I don't want to deal with payments.

Looking at late 2nd Gen Durangos, I don't like the front end of the 3rd Gens and finding an affordable 4th Gen to buy is not going to happen.

Also looking to get one with the 4.7L, screw the plenum issues on the 5.9.

 

Have fun with broken exhaust studs on the 4.7

 

Didn't the 4.7's also have head gasket issues?

 

Not sure. Puts out decent power though.

interesting stuff. http://www.allpar.com/mopar/47.html

I wonder why they went back to pushrods for the 5.7?

 

Yes they did. If you overheat at all you can figure you'll need to do head gaskets. There are many threads about them on Jeep forums.

 

Also considering Explorers. Seems Ford had their **** together and offered 3rd row seating in the earlyish 2000 models.
