Fogg's Automotive stocks used Jeep Grand Cherokees in Schenectady, NY, in two-row and three-row L configurations. The difference between them is the third row; both use the same capable four-wheel drive systems. We inspect the suspension — including the air system on higher trims — as part of our 151-point reconditioning, and qualifying vehicles under 85,000 miles carry our lifetime engine limited warranty.

The difference is the third row. Everything else is the same capable SUV.
The two-row versus three-row question, and the one component worth asking about before you buy.
Grand Cherokee has been sold with several different systems and they are not equivalent. The simpler part-time setups are fine for snow and light trails. The full-time systems are better on mixed surfaces because they need no decision from you. The most capable versions add a low range and a limited-slip rear differential, which matter if you tow on grades or drive genuinely rough ground. For a Capital Region winter any of them will do the job — the question is what else you ask of it. We can tell you exactly which system is fitted to any Grand Cherokee on the lot.

Be realistic before you buy. It is heavier and thirstier than a compact crossover, it wears larger and more expensive tires, and on higher trims the air suspension is a genuine cost item when it fails. In exchange you get the most comfortable Jeep to cover distance in, a real tow rating, and a vehicle that shrugs off a Capital Region winter. We inspect the suspension, including the air system where fitted, as part of the 151-point process — precisely because it is the thing most likely to be expensive later.

The difference is the third row. The Grand Cherokee L is longer and seats up to seven; the standard Grand Cherokee is a two-row SUV with more cargo space behind the second row. If you are carrying kids and their friends, the L earns the extra length. If you are not, the shorter one parks and drives better. Both use the same four-wheel drive systems, and both are genuinely capable in a Capital Region winter — which is most of why they sell here.

The air suspension on higher trims is the item worth asking about — it is excellent when healthy and expensive when it is not. We inspect it as part of reconditioning, and we will tell you which system a given vehicle has rather than letting you find out at the first pothole. Beyond that, the usual applies: service history, tires, brakes. Every vehicle here comes with a free CARFAX so the history is not a guess.

The difference is the third row. Here is what that actually costs you either way.
More cargo, easier to park
The standard Grand Cherokee. Shorter, lighter and easier to live with day to day, and it has a genuinely large cargo area behind the second row — more usable space for four people and their gear than the L offers with all seats up.
Seats up to seven
Longer, with a third row that genuinely fits people. The right answer if you run a carpool or regularly carry more than five. Worth knowing: with all three rows up, cargo space behind the last row is modest.
Suspension, history, and the usual
Both share the same inspection priorities. Air suspension on higher trims is excellent when healthy and expensive when it is not. Beyond that: service history, tires and brakes. All of it is covered before a vehicle is listed, and the CARFAX comes free so the history is not a guess.

The L is longer and seats up to seven with a third row. The standard Grand Cherokee is a two-row SUV with more cargo space behind the second row. Both use the same four-wheel drive systems and are equally capable in winter.
It is excellent when healthy and expensive when it fails, so it is the single component worth asking about. We inspect it as part of our 151-point reconditioning, and we will tell you plainly what we found on the specific vehicle you are considering.
It varies significantly by model year, engine and configuration, so check the specific vehicle rather than a general figure. Tell us what you intend to tow and we will confirm the rating on the one you are looking at.
Very. The four-wheel drive systems are among the more capable in the class, which is a large part of why they sell in this region. Pair it with healthy tires — ours leave here at 10/32 of an inch or better — and it handles a Capital Region winter comfortably.
The L is the long-wheelbase version with a third row, seating up to seven. The standard Grand Cherokee seats five with more cargo room behind the second row. Mechanically they are closely related.
Yes — it is one of the more capable mainstream SUVs in winter, particularly with 4x4 and proper tires. We inspect the four-wheel drive system, brakes and tires as part of our 151-point reconditioning.
Qualifying vehicles under 85,000 miles at the time of purchase include the Fogg's For Life lifetime engine limited warranty at no extra cost. Ask us to confirm coverage on the specific vehicle you are looking at.
