The Grand Cherokee is perhaps not the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but that’s not to say it’s unsuitable for the job. The issue here is that the Wrangler and Gladiator are so popular that the Cherokee is simply overshadowed, when in reality, it’s a fantastic choice for adventure. A quick online search reveals no shortage of inspiring backcountry-ready builds with droolworthy offerings from the likes of Hardware Habit, Overland History, and Primal Republic. It’s also a favorite with the Overland International team and featured in our Top Ten New Overland SUVs. Automotive expert Christophe Noel states, “When the going gets rough, the Grand Cherokee is a willing participant … Surprisingly undeterred when the terrain gets ugly, the Grand Cherokee does not feel strained or out of place. It behaves as a Jeep should in those settings.” Cue today’s 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee (175,000 miles), which showcases a plethora of desirable modifications and is priced at just $11,000. If you’d like to learn more about the realities of travel in the Cherokee, then check out our feature on Chris Shontz’s 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited.
