Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• How much does a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 weigh?

  That particular variant of the Grand Cherokee weighs an impressive 2336kg. That said, manufacturers often underquote their vehicles' kerb mass, and that could be the case here, so take it as a ball-park figure only.

  If you're concerned with overloading the vehicle, the best thing to do is load it as you would and then take it to a local weighbridge to gain an accurate idea of what it weighs in-service. Many council recycling facilities (we used to call them the tip) now have weighbridges.

• ML 320, ML 350 or Jeep Grand Cherokee for towing a boat?

  As you say Mercedes generally cost more to service and repair, particularly if you have a dealer do the work.

  They're not as expensive if you use an independent Mercedes specialist, and there are plenty around who can do that for you. They not only charge less for their labour, they usually have access to cheaper parts. Most of those parts are full factory parts, just sourced from overseas, instead of locally, so you don't miss out on quality or reliability by using them.

  Jeep owners generally swear by the cars, but they have had issues over the years that should make you wary about signing on to the brand.

  There's not much to split them, perhaps I would prefer the 'Benz.

• Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014: Can I import my US version to Australia?

  No, you can't. If it was 25 years old you could drive it on historical registration, but as it's not 25 years old you can't do that. You could have it converted to right-hand drive and then approved by a recognised engineer for Australian registration, but that would seem to be an expensive exercise for the purpose.
