With you. I recently got a nice incentive for a diesel and I'm considering it. You have the 8 cylinder? With the 6 cylinder the 5 sp is so damn wimpy.

Nope, I have the V6. I drive ~100 miles a day so I didn't want to be at the pump constantly. It's decent for what it is, but I'd certainly prefer a diesel or V8...

I have 2014 GC, I couldnt be happier with it. Its not my DD I just use it when I need to haul the family around so I got it lighly optioned. I didnt even get leather inside, this way when the kids get chocolate and sand from the beach all over the place I dont freak out (ok freak out only slighly) Definately a step up from before the refresh for the MY14. Transmission much much better and the U-Connect infotainment.

Gets the job done in the snow, and its a nice ride. Definatley do not mind when I have to take the jeep somewhere.

My wife drives a '14 GC Overland Hemi. It's a fantastic vehicle. The only thing I wish it had was a locking diff.
