Vehicle Description
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 which proudly wears the initials, SRT
8, stands for Street Racing & Technology V8 and is how Chrysler,
Dodge, and Jeep models identify as the most powerful and sporty
models. One of the performance models under the Jeep Grand Cherokee
banner is this SRT8.
For consignment a super low mileage, super performance SRT8 (Street
and Racing Technology V8). With a mere 6,025 original miles it
could have the synthetic break in oil in it. Not only does this AWD
go fast, but it can pull a super hill or go through mud in a flash
with the AWD capabilities. All while riding is wonderful leather
comfort surrounded by many conveniences. Let's get a little mud on
the tires, or at least smoke 'em a bit!
Exterior
Looking much like your unassuming mild mannered upscale Jeep
Cherokee the only thing that gives it away are the centrally
located exhaust outlets next to each other on back. Also, the front
bumper and lower grille shape is modified to be just a bit more
menacing than the standard Cherokee. Otherwise, it's black, has
tinted black windows and just a smidgeon of chrome trimming. Steel
is very straight, and gaps well minded, and rockers are just a bit
beefier looking with the SRT body kit. 20-inch polished wheels are
wrapped with wider 255/45R20's in front and 285/40R20's on back.
So, is the extra money in the value of this AWD worth it? You could
say do you see any difference between a Ford Taurus and a
Ferrari?!
Interior
Shades of gray for all the surfaces. Front and back seats are
wrapped in smooth gray leather, with dark suede inserts. These
power seats are all excellent in front and back. The dash presents
in more shades of molded gray plastic and for the instrument
cluster, these are nestled in a simple arched insert in front of
the steering wheel. They have a beautiful blue backlit surround,
back lit white numbers and snappy red pointers. Two large and two
small circles sum it up. In the center, all functions for the
stereo, navi, and Bluetooth are controlled by a large screen and
surrounding buttons. Brushed stainless mixes with the molded
plastic and houses the climate controls seat heaters and anti-skid
buttons. This panel seamlessly melts into the console between the
buckets and has a gated shift lever, cup holders and a glovebox.
Pristine carpeting in gray covers the floors and rear cargo area
which has nary a mark on it. A moon roof is noted in the middle of
the gray fuzzy headliner.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a powerful finely tuned 6.1 liter Hemi V8 capable
of putting out 420 horses. It has EFI and a 5-speed automatic
W5A580 transmission which pushes power to 3.73 limited slip
differentials.
Undercarriage
All very clean and rust free, solid as a rock under here. For the
front suspension Jeep uses short/long independent (SLA) coil
springs, gas charged, mono tube coil over shock absorbers, upper
and lower control arms and a stabilizer bar. For the back a live
axle 4 link with coil springs and a track bar, and gas charged mono
tube shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. Power Brembo disc brakes
show your roll, and dual stainless steel exhaust is seen making its
way to the dual central rear exit.
Drive-Ability
High performance is an understatement with this AWD rocket ship.
Great cornering, and exacting braking along with all the interior
conveniences make this not oft seen example of the Grand Cherokee,
a real find.
At this low mileage, you have virtually a new Grand Cherokee,
broken in and still all buttoned up. High performance and luxury
mix with AWD, and good looks and we have a winner.
