2014 Cherokee Review

[Jo6pak]

Checked out a Trailhawk today (just like the one Marlon posted). didn't have tome to drive it tho.

The interior is really nice, actually a bit too nice. I wouldn't want to put a wet dog in the back seat, and that is the true test of a Jeep to me.

I like the way they look, but have to see how I fit in it. If the leg room is there its a deal maker!

But I think there is one in my future, Closest dealer said they would order what I wanted. Folks at Lithia won't even talk ordering for you.
True Blue works for me.

I am really curious to see what these end up looking like once people get a chance to mod them up a little. I don't see the potential for a whole lot of aftermarket stuff there, but it will be interesting to see what creative things people might come up with.

@al7fi= I'm 6'2 / 190lbs with a 36" inseam. the leg room is enough for me, not sure if the seat was all the way back or not. That being said, I only sat in it for a minute or two.

That was said about the KJ...

... and the '97 XJ.

^True, I guess I wouldn't want to put a wet dog in the back of any new vehicle.

I don't mind the wet dog in it but getting the wet dog smell out after is my issue.

I want to see what one will look like if you black out the top light with a film. That top LED light is what annoys me the most.

When the Cherokee was FIRST released, only the Trailhawk had the blacked out headlamps.
They quickly darkened them out on ALL other models.

I think they should have done the same with the LED DRL strip.

Nite Shades works WAY better than film

Agree. Just used it on my stock signals because of a run-in with a deer and my aftermarket ones. The tint came out well, however I miss my old signals.

Thanks for the info. I am 6'3" and 300 but inseam is like 32. Sounds like there is hope .

Still no 2014 Cherokees of any model in AK that I can tell.

And the wait goes on.

Lows have been -10 down here and highs about 0. Fairbanks is like -30 and -10. All in degrees F!

I wonder if anyone has done that yet?

I stopped today again and looked I think with a couple of light coats of Nite Shades it would look really good especially on a darker colored one, make them blend right in .
Like to have one for a couple of days, Think it would be real easy to get another inch or so of lift, just need one to tear apart
:rotflmao:
next time I need to take my camera

have you drive one yet

 

[tommudd]

No haven't driven one yet, maybe next week sometime. Had 3 salesmen out there today talking and wanted to get away from them. :rotflmao:
They kept telling me to let them take mine in and get an estimate for trade in. STEP AWAY FROM THE LIBERTY!!!

Tom, I think you would try to lift Manute Bol if you had a crack at it. :rotflmao:

 

[Marlon_JB2]

My salesdude knows better than to even seriously approach me about a Cherokee.

So he doesn't even try.

He knows me so well, he knew exactly what either me or my mom wanted...

Looked a few today....yuck. Way too curvy to be a Jeep, looks like a Toyota. The had one parked next a Town and Country, and that sat just as high. I think the Compass and Patriot were better.
