Hey all,

Had a bittersweet weekend. Traded my JK in on a rather nice '11 JGC Laredo X.

I *WILL* miss the JK - but the JGC is a better fit for my overall needs. (lots of rush hour commuting, no real off-roading).

Sad to see my JK go after ~5 years and 120K miles... but glad to stick with the Jeep family. I'm sure I'll be back in a Wrangler at some point in the future.

 

That sucks but at least u stuck with jeep like u said! And hey them GC aren't bad at all!

That's cool, at least you're keeping it in the family. The GC is undoubtedly much better from a ride/comfort perspective. Congratulations on the new ride, and good luck!

 

Congrats. Now go lift it👍

 

Bought my wife's '11 JGC Overland new in Dec '10. Only 2WD but got the Hemi, 730N, and Tow Pkge. It is one of her favorite vechicles she ever owned (but she'd love a new LR4).

You will like the WK2

 

Thanks all

I've still got some reservations about how the WK2 will work out over time - but overall I'm really liking it. The ride is so quiet and relaxed that I've been getting to work in the morning feeling like I've got an extra hour of sleep each night

The Pentastar is a nice little motor. Torquey, and makes some nice sounds through the rpm range. I can only imagine how much fun it must be in a stock 2-door JK with 3.73's.

 

The JGC is not a bad vehicle at all. My wife is on her third one.
