Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee faces a wide range of competitors, including car-based crossovers (with little or no off-road capabilities) and true sport utility vehicles (with genuine off-road skills).

The true SUVs in this comparison include the Toyota 4Runner, Nissan Pathfinder, and the ancient twins from General Motors: the GMC Envoy and Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

The Toyota and Nissan are both larger than the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they don't share the Jeep's nimble off-road handling.

Neither offers the variety of engines found in the Jeep or a performance model like the Grand Cherokee SRT8.

But practically, the Toyota and Nissan both sport a third row of seating that can come in handy.

And the quality of either of these nameplates is reassuring, especially in light of the Jeep's rather spotty reputation for reliability.

Unless you feel compelled to shop another domestic manufacturer, skip the choices from GM; these two SUVs haven’t been kept as up-to-date.

The Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot are car-based crossovers.

Even when ordered with four-wheel drive, these SUVs aren't designed for tough off-roading, even if the Pilot does look somewhat rugged, though both have a very spacious interior with three rows of seating.
