Jeep Grand Cherokee.
2004 Jeep (au) Grand Cherokee 4WD gets abit of Turbo Diesel. The J has introduced a 2.7L CRD I-5 engine featuring common-rail direct injection and an intercooled variable geometry turbocharger. The Grand Ole' Dame has a Quadra-Drive system (standard on Overland and optional on Laredo and limited V8 and CRD). Apparantly it's the only four wheel drive system to operate at a maximum capacity all the time, according to the J.
2000 June: Jeep (au) has made the 4.7 litre V8 (petrol) engine (162 at 4700r, 390 at 3200ropm) available, as an alternative to the straight six, in the base Laredo Jeep Grand Cherokee (right). The V8 comes with the `45RFE' 5-speed automatic gearbox. The `Quadra Drive' four wheel drive system, i.e. the Quadra-Trac II transfer case with front and rear Vari-Lok LSDs, is an option. The Quadra Trac transfer case drives the rear wheels normally, but if there is wheel slip a pump raises hydraulic pressure to a multi-disc clutch thus sending drive to the front axle. ![]() Pre GST prices, June 2000: Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 Six Cylinder 53,500, V8 Laredo 57,400.
