Why the Used Jeep Grand Cherokee Is Our #6 Selling SUV Near Binghamton & Scranton
Hello again, neighbor! There comes a point where standard crossovers simply cannot pull the weight of your weekend plans. If your routine involves hauling a camper down to the Endless Mountains, backing a boat trailer into Cayuga Lake, or navigating deeply rutted rural driveways that swallow lesser cars whole, you need real mechanical muscle under the hood without giving up executive-level cabin comfort.
That perfect blend of luxury and trail capability is why the pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokee holds the #6 spot on our official top 10 bestselling used vehicles list. It delivers genuine truck-based towing limits, legendary four-wheel drive hardware, and a leather-trimmed interior that makes long road trips an absolute pleasure.

Most In-Demand Used Jeep Grand Cherokee Model Years
Local shoppers frequently ask about the generational transition when shopping pre-owned Grand Cherokee models. Across our lots, two generations offer distinct advantages:
2019 to 2021 (WK2 Generation)
Representing the final, most reliable years of the revered WK2 platform, these model years offer tremendous value. Powered by the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or muscular 5.7-liter HEMI V8 paired with a bulletproof 8-speed automatic transmission, they feature intuitive Uconnect touchscreens, standard Apple CarPlay®, and robust mechanical hardware at very competitive pre-owned price points.
2022 to 2024 (WL Generation)
The ground-up redesign introduced for 2022 brought an ultra-modern aesthetic, acoustic laminated glass for a library-quiet cabin, and the introduction of the three-row Grand Cherokee L. Equipped with available full-digital gauge clusters, passenger touchscreens, and advanced driver assistance suites, these newer models offer cutting-edge luxury that competes directly with premium European brands.
Authentic Trail Capability Meets High-End Refinement
Quadra-Trac 4WD Architecture
Unlike lightweight slip-and-grip commuter all-wheel drive, Jeep’s Quadra-Trac I and Quadra-Trac II systems feature active transfer cases and available low-range gearing to crawl out of unplowed deep snow, slick boat ramps, and rocky terrain with absolute authority.
Real Towing Muscle
With tow ratings ranging from 6,200 pounds on standard V6 models up to 7,200 pounds with the V8, the Grand Cherokee easily handles horse trailers, enclosed toy haulers, or heavy bass boats that would overwhelm ordinary crossovers.
First-Class Interior Comfort
High-tier trims like Limited, Overland, and Summit pamper occupants with premium leather seating, genuine open-pore wood trim, heated and ventilated front buckets, heated rear seats, and panoramic dual-pane sunroofs.
Proven Selec-Terrain Management
Dial in traction on demand with Jeep’s console-mounted Selec-Terrain dial. Tailor throttle response, transmission shifts, and transfer case behavior across dedicated settings for Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand, and Mud.
