I have a 2014 Laredo in diesel. It hasn't missed a beat so far. The reverse camera is pretty crappy but it appears that this is being rectified on new release models.


Cheers

Matt

Mine is a my15 Laredo diesel with 700klms up.
It's 9 degrees in Melb. at the moment and the heated seats are awesome at 6 am.
It has the reverse camera with guide lines, quite useful.
I hate the gear lever and the wipers, I miss the hundred speeds of my Wrangler's wipers.
The diesel and 8 speed is a very good match.

I have a 2013 Laredo diesel and have had no issues with dealers or service costs and the vehicle itself is fantastic. I have added a long range tank and remote start, if you get a towbar make sure you get the mopar one, aftermarket gear (long rang tank, rear wheel carrier etc) is usually designed around the mopar towbar. If you'd like to PM me with an email address I can send you a pretty comprehensive list of relevant websites etc that I accumulated during my research before buying and since having it.

Hi,

Have had our Limited since 9th May. Have already done two caravan trips (van is ATM 2700kg) and we are very impressed with the ease the Jeep pulls the van. Fuel econ is great too (average 15LPH). Comfort, power and grunt is excellent.

The comforts are wonderful - also love the heated and vented seats!

If towing, try and get one with Quadra Lift Air Suspension - works brilliantly even with a WDH.

The Adventure Pack (skid plates, etc) is great, going to add the Murchison snorkel in a couple of weeks.

Loving the Jeep!

Cheers,
Sally

Who are you buying from? In my opinion ask every question and get all the answers before the dealer has your money, because once they have your hard earned they could not give a flying duck.

Our CRD Limited is a year old now and has done 37,000km, 12,000+ towing a 3 tonne caravan. Nothing but praise for the way it handles and the fuel economy.

Only problem has been a knocking from the suspension which was fixed but has come back (going in next week to be looked at and hopefully sorted) and a few software updates.
