Interesting take on why a Cherokee Trailhawk makes more sense than a GC Laredo from the Jalopnik Comments:
"The GC Laredo is not available with Quadra-Trac II, which means no terrain-selection modes, and also no hill descent control. Manual cloth seats with no lumbar support. Steel wheels (in 2014!). The worst stereo they could find. No air suspension, and believe you me, it makes a huge difference in ride quality on this porker.
But again, all those niggling little details are beside the point, because you will never be able to find a zero-option GC Laredo at any dealer in this quadrant of the universe. Dealers don't order them, because no one in their right mind wants them. The GC is supposed to be the domestic equivalent of a Range Rover, at a steeply discounted price. Fully optioned, it's an amazing vehicle, and one of the few SUVs I would ever consider owning. But the base model is a sad, decontented thing, the sort of car that is designed to remind you that you're a cheapskate."
The Laredo listed above is for rental car companies....
