Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD

I’ve always been a fan of the Cherokee, so when this well-maintained 2007 model was listed, I was keen to feature it. Arguably the highlight of this particular example is the  Mercedes OM642 common rail diesel engine, which is both responsive and long-lived. This desirable motor, matched with a capable 4WD system, refined driving experience, and a spacious interior, ensures the Cherokee is well-suited to technical trails and the daily commute. 

From the Seller:

“This has the Mercedes OM642 still found in Sprinter vans, less all the Bluetec and need for DEF. I’m the second owner in six years. The vehicle was used but never abused. You’d be hard-pressed to find another example like this one.”

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD

The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 diesel motor that delivers 215 horsepower and an impressive 376 pound-feet of torque. This model also incorporates a German-engineered and built W5J400 automatic transmission, which is tuned specifically for the diesel and is said to shift very smoothly. On technical terrain, Jeep’s Quadra-Drive II system, standard with 4WD diesel models, sends power to all four wheels at any speed to enhance off-road capability.
