2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X is just right

Between the base $33,440 Grand Cherokee Laredo and the near-$90,000 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, the middle-of-the-road Grand Cherokee Limited X at around $50,000 makes a formidable case for moderation.

Manuel Carrillo III
A Porsche 911 S brought Manuel Carrillo III home from the hospital after he was born, so it's no surprise his lifelong trajectory has centered on cars, leading him to a robust career creating rich automotive media for publications prior to joining CNET.

The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.
