Hi Friends,
Just wondering if anyone here has been able to obtain, or has the ability to obtain a complete pricelist of everything to do with the Australian 2017 Grand Cherokee?
I am looking at purchasing a Limited with a few extras like:
Nappa Leather Trim Package, and
Jeep Active Safety Group
Plus I will obviously be hitting up the dealer for a few things like Tow Bar, and exterior plastics.
Cheers,
Dave.
p.s.
Sorry if this has been asked for previously. I didn't really have the time to go searching.
Thanks Marty, but what I was after, more than anything, was the prices for the optional extras and accessories. I just re-read my original post and realised I did not make this very clear.
I'm about to sign the contract for a MY2017 Overland on the weekend and my on road price negotiated with the dealer with factory tow bar is well under RRP (Happy to share once I've signed the contract.) Build date is 15/5 and it is currently on the docks at Baltimore, so it is definitely a MY2017. I'm pretty happy with the price, although the depreciation on my 2012 Overland is pretty savage.
Did the deal on my 2017 Overland today. Granite crystal paint, OEM towbar, OEM rubber cargo mat, full tank of fuel, all on roads (NSW). $78800 drive away. RRP for the Overland is $88228 without the towbar, so I'm pretty happy with that. ETA to Port Kembla is 8/7 so only a few weeks to wait.

Apart from the marketing blurbs "“The Trailhawk model, which includes a unique version of Grand Cherokee’s Quadra-Lift air suspension to improve articulation and suspension travel, takes a capable vehicle and makes it even better. "
or reviewers essentially parroting the press releases: "The suspension and off-road system tuning are what really set the Trailhawk apart from other Grand Cherokees. Jeep tweaked the four-corner Quadra-Lift air suspension to improve articulation and suspension travel, while retaining the 10.8 inches of ground clearance of lesser Quadra-Lift Grand Cherokees. Paired with the standard Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive system, rear electronic limited-slip diff, and 20-inch Goodyear Adventure off-road tires, the Trailhawk is not short on capability (at least on paper)."
I have struggled to find anything that points to a definitive difference.
According to the new brochure issued by Jeep Australia, the specs for the suspension are identical between the Overland and Tailhawk. Both models come with Quadra Lift as standard and the part code (SER) is the same so I'm thinking there isn't that much difference in the Quadra Lift suspension.
The only difference I can see in the 4x4 system between the two is that on the Trailhawk, the Jeep Quadra-Drive II 4x4 System comes standard but is an option on the Overland (I just checked my build sheet and it has Jeep Quadra-Drive II 4x4 System included.)
On the Overland I have on order with the ORA option there is an item on the build sheet "SDVP Export Tuned Suspension - Increased Travel". Not sure whether it is standard or part of ORA but it seems to imply additional suspension articulation.
Great information - thanks. But even $78880 is still a heap more money, $6000, than I paid just a year ago for my MY15. With the ever increasing purchase price and savage depreciation it is getting hard to consider a change over any time soon. At these prices FCA are finding themselves in no mans land - too expensive for an ordinary bloke, but not premium enough for someone who can stretch to a Q7 or Rangie...
It's actually less than I paid for my MY2012. There were no discounts to be had when I ordered back then as Jeep was growing strongly and there were hardly any WK2 Jeeps on the road and no stock in the country.
Got a phone call today from a car broker who I had made an inquiry with a couple of weeks ago. You know the ones that advertise they can get fleet pricing etc. He had gotten four quotes from dealers for a 2017 Overland. Highest quote was $85k and lowest was $79900. When I told him I had a better price and what it was he was blown away that I could have obtained a better deal than he could. I must admit I was feeling pretty pleased with myself. When I heard his reaction. He said he would keep trying to get a better deal but he sounded pretty deflated - I think he realises that he won't be getting a commission from me.
