Default New Diesel Jeep...Laredo or Limited ?

I am about to place an order for the new 3 litre TD Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Firstly ,.... should I ?

Secondly ...is the , roughly, $10,000 difference for the two models worth it, or am I better buying a Laredo and adding any extras that suit me?

I am a little concerned about the degree of electrical "bling" in the Limited so I thought the Laredo would reduce the risk of electrical "bling" malfunction.
Any thought please.

Firstly - someone has to be first!

Secondly - the Laredo seems really well optioned out of the box. The most obvious consideration is whether you want leather seats or not.

These cars are all full of electrical trickery anyway - no matter which model you buy (Jeep or not Jeep). You're considering being first in line for a car that hasn't been released yet - so you're on the 'bleeding' edge.

Ah well. Did the job today. Sight unseen, I ordered a Laredo as I wasn't that worried about leather seats. The Laredo is well optioned anyway. Just have to be patient and wait for delivery now, probably in late July.

Not necessarily for longer trips, but far better economy than the hemi, almost the same power and most importantly same towing capacity as the hemi..... Sold me pretty quickly!
