Just thought I'd share a little positivity as there seems to be plenty of negative comments on this forum.

Sorry to all those experiencing problems but...

Our 2014 V8 overland is by far the "best" all around ride we've ever owned. We've had BMW (335's and X5), Tahoe's and several Dodge Ram diesels. We were holding out for the diesel but got tired of waiting.

This thing is comfortable, capable, economical and turns heads everywhere. The transmission is amazing, smooth seamless and fast. Plenty of power from the Hemi, and if you drive like my wife gets 22mpg. Air ride is so plush, never harsh and in OR2 super smooth over nasty ruts, rocks, etc. Pulled a couple ATV's around 80mph for 400 miles, hardly noticed the trailer and got around 15mpg. I would by another in a heartbeat. Job well done, happy as I've ever been at 5000 miles on a new ride, just wish my wife would let me drive it more.

Thanks to those involved, keep up the good work.

Well, without any nit picky gripes you may not get a lot of responses.

It is nice to hear about people who are just out enjoying their Jeep.

There may come a time when you will be happy that your wife wants to drive.
That's right about the time she will start handing you the keys.


Have a nice weekend.

Good to hear, I was begining to get a sinking feeling about this very substantal purchase. Even though I really loved my 2005, trans problem and all. Can't wait till mine arives.

Its nice to know that those who have the V8 version are happy more so than those who have the V6 version. I tried to get a V8 version but there was none available in a 180 mile radius. You were spared the misery.

As they say in that vegetable juice commercial;

"I could of had a V8"

You just order and be patient until it comes in.

[Scottina06]

Eagleone-please dont comment in every happy thread with your misery! LOL

Agree the forum has been kind of negative lately but unfortately is the nature of car forums sometimes, OCD folks wanting to vent, trolls and flame wars etc. Feel bad for those with a true lemon but every manufacturer makes a few duds that usually that gets taken care of and made right.

Scott - Its a FREE Country ! Start a V8 only Thread then . I am not alone with my feelings. Chrysler is Building to many Lemons with NO Lemon Aid ! LOL

I'm thrilled with my V6 version. Absolutely no issues to date!

Congrats!

Glad to hear you are one of many happy Jeep owners.

That's a fact Will! :thumbsup:

And no mechanical issues on my 2011 as I approach the magical 36,000 miles mark at 30 months. :thumbsup:

I never understand comparing ride quality with an older vehicle (unless it was superb). I would hope a 2014 car/truck/ etc. would have better ride quality than a car built 3, 6, 10 years ago.

If you said we currently own a 2014 BMW X5 and the 2014 Jeep grand Cherokee, and the ride quality is better. Then then that's a comparison that holds weight.

On a positive note: I agree with you, the ride quality in this car is far above the vehicles you mentioned.

You would hope, but you wouldn't know. If somebody owns an older version they may be interested in how folks think the new one compares. Even if you don't care, it's still valid.

I am with Bill... I liked the ride of my 2006 Envoy Denali, The Yukon I drove after that not as nice and the 2014 Jeep grand Cherokee has an even better ride than my 2009 ML320. I compare them all the same and that is comfort IMO. Frankly I have driven the 2013 ML and though the ML maybe corners a little better I can't get air ride unless I buy the bank so the JGC still wins.

For those looking to buy, don't get caught up in the negative feedback on this forum. there are plenty of 2014 Overland Jeep owners who are very happy with their purchase. i am one who has been fortunate to not experience any of the issues (a matter of fact none). I am now at 6000 miles and can tell you that the quality and built and ride (especially with the air suspension) is head above some of the other luxury SUV vehicles out there. I am coming from the Mercedes Benz family and I can tell you that I am more impressed with my overland than my 2009 ML350. I took a leap changing brands and I am very happy so far.

 

[brandon790]

Forgot to mention that I also have the V8 hemi engine on my 2014Overland.

 

[Zhe Wiz]

I actually decided to keep the Cherokee on my list BECAUSE of the thread "2014 GC Totally $#@% dead". What amazed me was that after all those problems, the original poster WANTED ANOTHER ONE! Must be a damn good vehicle when you happen to get a lemon and are willing to give the car, despite the company's slow response, another chance.
