Considering 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee TV

Howdy!

Been awhile since I posted.
I am considering the purchase of a new Jeep. It has everything I want and the price is excellent. The ONLY thing it does NOT have is the factory installed tow package, ugh!

The dealer can install the hitch receiver, ectc, but I dpn't think they can do the leveling suspension and the heavy duty engine cooler.

So I am thinking I will not go for the killer deal!

I am thinking the factory installed tow package is a must have.

The vehicle is the 4x2, 3.6L v6 with 8speed transmission.


Am I correct in not buying the vehicle because it won't have the heavy duty engin cooler? Or does that matter so much on a 3,000 trailer (I have the 16Xrb)

No comment on if the dealer can/should add a factory like tow package after market.

What I will say is there is always a "Killer Deal" out there. Just because you decide to pass on this one doesn't mean another even better deal won't pop-up next week. I don't think you should ever rush into a big purchase, like a car, to chase what seems to be a deal and make sacrifices to do so.

If it was me I'd wait to get exactly what I wanted and use the knowledge of this deal to negotiate the next one.

Have you checked out the reviews yet on Edmonds.com for the JGC yet? Might want to read through them first.
