Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.
Putting Cross Climate 2’s on was one of the best decisions ever. Wet, dry, snow or sun… doesn’t matter - these tires continue to impress.
It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.
We have a jeep GC L summit trim got it from a dealer loaner car it's fully loaded but not the v8. We like it the only downside is that it's smaller than some SUVs so it's a 2 x 2 x 2 seat config in our case and we've found we need a 7/8 seat config more than a few times.
I just replaced one of these in my Grand Cherokee.\n\nIt took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that\u2019s where the clunking noise was coming from
I had a set on the Grand Cherokee that I traded in for my R1T and I loved them. They were great in the rain and fantastic in the snow.
Mahle is the OE replacement for the thermostat, the Chrysler logo is on the part but sanded down. Autozone sells them with PT# TI23695 I just replaced mine last weekend.
I'm running Bilstein on the rear with the quadralift airbags. Seems to be a decent match.
Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.
Friend has a similar year Jeep GC V6 with 350k km (like 215k miles?). While it still runs great, it goes through a thermostat about every 6 months. Her husband is a mechanic and has the job down to about 20 min but still annoying.
