Their other reviews pushed me over the edge of considering to committing back in Oct/Nov. Thought that was a pretty accurate analysis.

I don't know why he was griping about rear seat room. Maybe he didn't know the seats slide forward and back and recline slightly.

My son is 6'2" and was quite comfortable in the back seat.
I'm 6'0" and i can tell you that if i move the front seat to where I am comfortable, then sit in the seat behind, there is practically no leg room (and that's with the rear seat all the way back). Also, I have no headroom if I sit in the rear seat with panoramic sunroof (seat all the way back and reclined as far as it goes).

It ended up being the final straw as to why i did not take delivery of my '14 KL TrailHawk :(

I notice the same in the dealerships limited, however it's only 2 of us and rarely use the back seat for passengers,

So what are you going to do? Take another Kee without a roof, or different brand

I think for now, the Cherokee is a no go (headroom, hiproom and leg room issues), but I love the Jeep brand and will most likely remain with a Chrysler vehicle.

I would have liked it if they had gone into more detail about the 4x4 system. Good review tho.

Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? I am 6'3" or so and don't have problems with leg room or headroom.

I'm just 6'0"... I played football all the way through college, so I'm kinda built like a refridgerator! legroom and headroom are fine in the front, but the headroom is horrible in the rear for me with the pano roof.

my feeling is for an almost $40K SUV, that i shouldn't feel "squeezed" in it.
(probably has a lot to do with all the safety reinforcements, etc. in the doors, etc)

Makes sense... If it's not comfortable don't buy it. I have a buddy who is 6'8" 350 lbs or so and has a hard time with many vehicles. One of the first things I check is the legroom, it took a while to find a crossover sized SUV that was comfortable to me. I was leaning towards a Tahoe or Suburban but wanted something smaller.

I thought this review to be lame. Off road in the snow? There is less than an inch of snow and they are on roads that about any two wheel drive car would do just fine on.
Search them on you tube and check out there full test drive review,

Wouldn't say lame, it's only the conditions to the truck is available

The original review was ok, I saw it before I bought mine. Considering the title I was expecting the Cherokee in some deep snow at a minimum. I live in the same area where these guys test these things, so far there have been no big snow dumps and I'm excited to test my Trailhawk in some deep snow. Drove in about 4" this morning but that still is no test. So I still say lame review!
