My initial concern was; how would the Grand Cherokee ride compared to my Durango? I thought that the GC might ride harsher, because it may be biased towards off-roading, plus the shorter wheelbase. But, my concerns were unfounded, since the Jeep rides as well as the Durango. I have found the handling of both vehicles to be very good, a tribute to the IRS in both. Transitioning from the Durango to the GC was easy, because the dash layout and controls were the same. The shorter Jeep is easier to parallel park, plus it has the rear view camera that my Durango did not have. Over the 6 years that I had the Durango, I enjoyed it, and expect the same from my GC.
In Canada, all Durangos are AWD. Are there 2WD Durangos available in U.S?
