The GC is the ultimate do it all Jeep, looks great and I'm aware of the magnificent and smooth powertrain in that vehicle

There's a reason it's Chrysler's best selling vehicle! Even more units sold than the Ram 1500.

Is that a pic with all the mods done?

Congratulations on the GC purchase.. I love the subtle changes to the 14 over the prior years. The headlights are a huge upgrade over the previous years.

The GC would be a vehicle I'd love to own as a parent, but since I'm 26 my next Vehicle will be a Wrangler.

 

Good luck RadOso. Thanks for staying in the Jeep family!

 

The 3.6L is now standard on all trim levels, the Hemi or 3.0L Diesel are options. Another thing that is impressive is the fuel economy on the highway - the GC will get a solid 25 MPG on the highway, even going over a mountain pass. It's kind of mystifying to me that a heavier, bigger engined vehicle gets better mileage?

MB - in the photo of the GC, I had only added the hitch at that point. I did the lower fascia, SRT grille, and tow hooks all at once. Here's what it looks like now:



The SRT grille is honeycomb shaped instead of vertical slats, it ties the front end together nicely I think.

 

Thanks JeepCares!!

 

Engine efficiency and technology has come a long way, the powertrains in the MK platform are prehistoric compared to the GC, that's why you can get better mileage AND better performance.

My dads company car lease Challenger is 4200lbs with the 3.6 pentastar rated at 305hp, and trust me that thing can get up and go, my dad drives it very conservatively however and he averages 26mpg city/highway in the winter and 29-30mpg city/highway in the summer, and this is all in rush hour traffic. So yes a 300+hp muscle car gets better mileage than my moms Patriot XD
