Default Wh Laredo v6
G'day fellas, just a couple of quick questions

I sold my wj a few years back due to needing a work ute, now the work ute needs to go to cater for a new arrival to the family, so I've been looking at the wh series Grand Cherokees.
My questions are , what are the 3.7L v6's in the Laredo like? I do 100km a day so unfortunately the hemi is out 😞 And diesels are out of my price range, I've tried searching the web and all info is on the 4.7, 5.7 and diesels.
Also how is the quadra track 2 off road? I would love something with QD2 but I doubt I'll find something

Thanks for any help
Craigo

The 3.7 is the same as in the KJ'S and is thirstier than the 4.7. Also no QD on the V6's.

From the few times I've been able to compare (totally unscientifically.) the hemi seems to be the most fuel-efficient of the petrol engines, assuming you can keep your foot off it... anyone have numbers to prove/disprove?
Despite what plenty of guys of the US forums say, the MDS is very effective when cuirsing if it's allowed to operate as designed (correct oil, leaving trans in Drive, smooth throttle, etc.).

A quick look at what's around at the moment does find a few sub 10K CRD's but my pick would be this unmolested 06 Limited.

Pretty much priced to go however am open to negotiation.

Offer what you can & see what he says.
