Used 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for Sale near Beloit, WI

First off lets start with quality. I have not put any money into this jeep besides regular maintenance things, like oil and filters. This jeep is built very well, the interior quality is nice, especially if you get a limited or overland. The jeep 4.0 straigh six is an awesome engine and will run forever reliably. It has a good amount of torque, which helps it move the jeep reasonably well. Gas mileage in town is not good, usually around 14 for me, while highway is anywhere from 18-22 depending. The quadra-trac 2 and Quadra-drive 4 wheel drive systems a great AWD systems that will really work to get you out of some tough situations. Overall these are a great vehicle for any climate which gets tons of snow and or ice, or anyone looking for a good qulaity "SUV", even thought a lot of jeep owners will never refer to it as on but only as a JEEP. They are very capable offroad from the factory and with an ever expanding aftermarket, they are becoming even more capable.

The interior is great, the instruments are are nicely located for easy viewing. Seats are comfortable and hold up to wear and tear. Storage behind the rear seat is large enough to store camping equipment for a family for a week, food included. The engine is strong and over seven years I have had no issues. The exterior has clean line and holds up well to the elements.

- very reliable inline 4.0L V6 engine - lots of torque - available 4WD - satisfactory mileage for its size - powerful, distinctive Jeep look that demands attention - comfortable interior styling - very limited leg room for back seat passengers - plenty of cargo space, especially when back seats are folded down - power windows - overhead display with temperature and compass readings - AC - cruise control - fog lights - stock sound system delivers great sound with plenty of bass - plenty of aftermarket accessories available for this model - overall, a true baller's vehicle :)

It gets 25mpg when driven right, and the inline 6 is fantastic for reliability. The rest of the truck is junk. New transmission at 117,000 miles. Rear axle leaks, transfer case gets stuck. No electrical problems yet, though. Conversely, the compact Cherokee that preceeded it was great all around, with minimal repairs or defects. I'd score most definitely 10 stars on that one.. it's still on the road with over 300,000 miles now : )

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I bought it used in 2004 (with about 25,000 miles on it) when I got into an accident that totaled my Chevy Venture. I like it overall but not as well as I loved the Venture. In comparison the seats are lacking in the Jeep. I have owned it for over 4 years now and haven't had a major problem with it...unless you count the engine blowing at 40,000 miles - I owned it less than 6 mos at that point (yes I put 30,000 miles on in a year). I had a warranty of course (thanks to Dewy!!) so it was covered. Since then, no problems. Exhaust is starting to rattle a bit but come on it is 8 years old and I live in Northern Michigan!! It handles extremely well. Is very quiet. Gets about 15-20 MPG (I usually get the lower end of 15-16 as I am in the throttle all the time-and have tickets to prove it.... :( ). Finally is it fun to drive-yeah not bad-It gets around really well in almost any weather, yet hauls the family to church or on a roadtrip just as easily. I can make it slide around an icy corner perfectly and I haven't ever had it in the ditch!! I would highly recommend this to parents for teenagers. The uni-body construction is one of the safest bodies out there for kids to learn on. I also feel safer having my family in the Jeep too!! Right now I have 140,000 miles on it. Would I buy another one.....perhaps if I couldn't find another Venture.
