Key Features of the Jeep® Grand Cherokee
What makes the Jeep® Grand Cherokee a popular SUV among families here in Pueblo, Colorado? Many parents appreciate its signature Jeep® all-terrain capability, while others appreciate its blend of luxury and capability. These are the main attributes that set the Jeep® Grand Cherokee apart from other SUVs for sale in Pueblo, Colorado.
Off-road capability that earns the Jeep® name
You expect all-terrain confidence when you drive any Jeep, which is especially crucial here in Pueblo County. While the Grand Cherokee is made more for on-road than off-road travels — as opposed to the Wrangler or Gladiator — the Jeep® Grand Cherokee does come in a Trailhawk version that adds all-terrain equipment. These include an air suspension with raised ground clearance, a two-speed transfer case, an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential, hill descent control, and more.
The Jeep® Grand Cherokee is also one of the only midsize SUVs that comes standard with rear-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. Of course, most buyers in Colorado will prefer having the upgraded four-wheel-drive system instead that far outperforms the basic AWD system on your average small SUV.
Massive HEMI® V8 options
The Jeep® Grand Cherokee is one of the few midsize SUVs on the market that is produced with available V8 engines. While most small SUVs are content with a Turbo-four or a V6, the Grand Cherokee knows that sometimes you need extra power for overcoming steep mountain inclines or towing a heavy trailer.
In recent years, Jeep® has offered three versions of its HEMI® V8 for fourth-generation Grand Cherokees: a 360-hp 5.7-liter unit, a 6.4-liter SRT reaching 475 hp, and the massive supercharged Trackhawk® V8 that produces 707 horsepower with 645 lb-ft of torque. That gives you up to 7,200 pounds of towing capability depending on the configuration!
While Jeep® has discontinued use of the V8 in new Grand Cherokee models, you can still find them equipped in pre-owned Grand Cherokee models at used vehicle dealerships in Pueblo like Southwest Motors.
A used Jeep® Grand Cherokee is a smart choice for outdoorsy families in Pueblo who need to cross rocky terrain on occasion or tow a trailer. You can find pre-owned Grand Cherokee models for sale here at Southwest Motors.
