Traded in my 2014 Overland Hemi. Was a great ride but didnt really drive that much as my wife got her 2016 Highlander AWD. The Hemi was a 4x2 and drove really well. I always noticed some of the exterior trims coming off a bit and recently the electric shifter started getting stuck. That really annoyed me for a 45k+ vehicle. So i took her in for an oil change and browsed their lot. Noticed the diamnond blk altittude and couldnt resist. Took her oit on the test drive and the 2nd gen tranny shifts really nice. Uconnect display has a much better display resolution than MY14. End result, after talking #'s good amount offered for the Hemi, put the extra cash as a down, +2500 from manufacturer and was also on dealer discount.

Here it is. Lost a few features from tbe Overland but i could do without them. Loving the altittude wheels and package. Nothing chrome except the grill which is different for 17 i believe.

Nice! I'm most likely picking up my 17 Altitude on Monday and I'm trading in my 14 Overland. Are you still happy with the Altitude? I'm having a hard time getting over the fact that I will be losing some features that I love. I keep going back and forth over the Altitude package GC and a Limited with the Lux package. I can't decide.

Thank you for the response! Our other two vehicles are Lexus. They all have the same sized sunroofs as the one in the Altitude. I haven't used the power fold mirrors on the Jeep since I got it. I do like the ventilated seats even though sometimes I feel like I can't feel them. The biggest things I think I will miss are, the pano roof, dual exhaust, driver seat memory, turn signal indicators on the side mirrors and the puddle lamps.

Agree with these except the turn signal indicators. On the overland, the passenger side mirror one the last few months prior to the trade in were flickering after i turned the vehicle off and locked the doors. Don't know for how long they would flicker but i assume they were going out. That would of been another wasted dealer trip. I don't believe you can just swap it out and may just have needed a new mirror altogether. The puddle lamps, meh, didn't need them, were more of a nice to have.
