What is a fair price for a 2020 Grand Cherokee?

Fair prices depend on trim and mileage. Laredo with 50,000-70,000 miles: $26,000-$31,000. Limited with 40,000-60,000 miles: $31,000-$37,000. Trailhawk with 30,000-50,000 miles: $37,000-$45,000. V8 models command $2,000-$3,000 premium.

V6 vs V8 vs Diesel: Which engine is best?

The 3.6L V6 (295 hp) handles most needs adequately and is most reliable. The 5.7L HEMI V8 (360 hp) adds towing capability and power but drops fuel economy to 17 MPG. The 3.0L EcoDiesel (240 hp) offers 30 MPG highway but has higher maintenance costs.

Are there common problems with the 2020 Grand Cherokee?

Known issues include: oil cooler housing leaks on Pentastar V6 (recall exists), ZF 8-speed transmission can develop shifting issues, and Uconnect infotainment can be glitchy. Air suspension is reliable but expensive if it fails. Overall reliability is average for the class.

Is the Trailhawk worth it for off-roading?

Trailhawk adds Quadra-Drive II, Quadra-Lift air suspension, electronic limited-slip diff, skid plates, and unique styling. It's genuinely capable off-road—not just appearance. Worth it if you'll use the capability; Limited with air suspension is sufficient for most.
