Jeep® Quietly Opens Grand Cherokee L Build & Price Configurator:

Four Models To Choose From...

It may be late in the 2021 model year, but it isn’t stopping the Jeep® brand from launching one of its most anticipated vehicles – the all-new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The Grand Cherokee L is the first of a trio of new fifth-generation Grand Cherokee models coming over the next six months, with the latter two models being two-row and electrified variants.

With vehicles getting ready to arrive in dealer inventories any day now, Jeep has quietly released an up-to-date Build & Price configurator on Jeep.com for the Grand Cherokee L. Those who are looking to purchase a new three-row model will be able to choose from four models (Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Summit).

We are still getting Ram DS 1500, Tradesman trim, work trucks with the 5 inch screens. If we get a DT Ram in the fleet they are usually a higher trim level with a larger screen.
