Let me tell ya, it's super bright at night. Little worried it's too bright and might **** off drivers behind me.

I think the question everyone is dying to have answered - Will the headlights fit on a '13 and older?

I had the same gripe with my 2013 Crew's seats. I'm happy to say that after a couple thousand miles, the seats definitely break in nicely (or my butt has) and are quite comfortable now.

Very nice ride....congrats. I think you're the first 2014 owner here. How's the V6 with the 8 speed for acceleration?

Not sure yet, only got 46 miles on it so I'm still babying it like a grandma. I'll put the hammer down like the manual says after I hit 60 miles. From what I can tell so far it feels like it has some good low end torque to tap.

I was behind a Charger cop car this morning before dawn. Definitely by far the brightest tail lights of any surrounding car. They definitely say "hey everybody, look at me!!!" I'm happy with my anonymous tails.

Ah, soon ha ha. I test drove a 2014 Grand Cherokee with the V6/8 speed 4WD and the way it was geared it really accelerated briskly through 1st and 2nd. Very strong. Granted the DD is a bit more "portly", but it should have plenty of power when you get to put the hammer down. Bet it will tow well too.

Yeah, but the 6 speed's first and second does fine around town as long as you're not on a big incline. It really starts feeling like a pig on the highway when you need to pass someone and at any gears on incline.
