2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 75th Anniversary

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 75th Anniversary
Powered by the Pentastar 3.6L V6 that produces 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this Grand Cherokee combines strong on-road performance with everyday drivability. The 75th Anniversary edition adds commemorative exterior and interior touches to the Laredo’s equipment, while retaining the Grand Cherokee’s chassis, suspension and utility.

Mechanical and driveline
- 3.6L Pentastar V6, 295 hp and 260 lb-ft torque, factory-mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifts and improved highway cruising.
- Rear-wheel drive is standard; factory options include Jeep’s available four-wheel-drive systems for enhanced traction in slippery conditions.
- Independent front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension provide a balance of ride comfort and composed handling.
- Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and standard stability and traction control systems deliver predictable stopping and electronic aids for cornering and low-grip surfaces.
- When properly equipped with the factory tow package, V6 Grand Cherokees are rated to tow up to the mid-thousands of pounds (verify exact capacity for a given vehicle and configuration).

Exterior and styling
