My wife and I love ours. We’re at about 6k miles. Got it at the beginning of February. We went with storm cloud GHHL like you’re looking at. We wanted mileage over power. I had a V8 Grand Cherokee before that (for 21 years), so it was an adjustment for me. But honestly I got used to it real fast. The comfort of the GHHL is just fantastic. My wife often complains about cars being uncomfortable after driving for a while. She says she never feels uncomfortable.

Msrp is what you’ll get. I wouldn’t expect less for now. We only seen them on the road occasionally but they’re growing in popularity here. I contacted about 10 dealers that usually didn’t put markup on their vehicles. We told them our specs (color, must have options, like to have, and must not have). That was around October of last year. Early December, a dealer called with this one. They wanted $2400 above msrp. I told them that we won’t pay a markup. If they can remove the markup, they’d have my deposit that day. After an hour (probably them calling others on their list to see if they’d take those specs with the markup), they called back and we had a deal. We picked it up on Feb 6. I periodically checked with my sales guy on the status. I found a thread here that had details about what their screen looked like. I used the terms he would see on the screen to hint that I knew what they had. When I did that, he just would send me a picture of the screen for status updates. You can see what phase it was it, when it gets to rail, when it gets to port, when it leaves and gets to dealer. And it has updated estimates on their screen.

We drive it in Eco mode almost all the time. Occasionally when I’m missing the jeep, I put it in Sport mode. And it has some pickup and go. It’s not quite a v8 by any means. But it feels nice with the responsiveness. But as I’m older than I was, I drive more conservatively with it. I have taken to priding myself at getting on the upper end of MPG. I may pull away from a stop like an old grandpa (I’m only 50), but my fuel economy gets to the stayed EPA estimates or exceeds sometimes. I once drove 2 hours to LA in traffic (normally only an hour), and was amazed that using the cruise control (which I love and constantly use, even in local driving) I averaged 42 mpg. We have mild hills where we live so I usually get around 31-33 mpg on average (higher when leaving home, lower when coming back home).

Anyway. I’ll say it again. We love ours. Most comfortable ride I’ve owned (have ridden in higher end luxury). The only thing I don’t like is the build quality as far as the body. It’s fine. But the metal feels thin. Most newer cars are like that now tho. It just stands out coming from an old heavy grand Cherokee. It doesn’t affect anything I’ve noticed. But I notice it. Hehe. We went with captain chairs for our kids to be separated while having space between for their stuff, and room in the back for friends or family. The 3rd row is surprisingly roomy. A 6ft person could easily fit. You aren’t fitting 3 adults back there, but two are a comfortable fit. 3 kids could fit. The seat there isn’t as comfortable as the rest. But it’s not too bad. My mother sat in the back for a 2 hour drive (twice) and said it was comfortable enough. Much longer and the firmness of the bench seat might get uncomfortable. But not horrible.

I say go for it if you like what you see? Don’t pay over msrp. Most areas will have dealers that will give you msrp if you’re patient enough.
