2015 JEEP Grand Cherokee SRT I have a craving for a hamburger…. Road Trip! Load up the kid and head out to a meet some friends at my favorite burger joint. On the road under normal conditions it drives like a normal SUV. Once you settle in, driving this is quite pleasant. Now it is time for one to explore all these neat driving modes. Snow Mode or as I call it “pointless”with wide sport summer tires and all that horsepower no mode on the planet is going to make this thing OK to drive in the snow. Auto, if you’re just tooling around town this is your mode. Easy, mellow shifts, calm throttle response just your every day SUV just not boring. Sport mode is the mode for me on most days, quicker throttle response crisper shifts happening at higher RPMs and not as much coasting. This thing is fast! If you put your foot into it you will smile as it sounds like you just pissed off a T-Rex. If Sport Mode is Ludicrous Speed then Track Mode is going Plaid. Okay Track Mode is crazy, crazy fun! Launch control off the line BAM! On the massive brakes BAM! Turn in, accelerate out BAM! Where have you been all my life! On ramps, off ramps, highway, back roads, the track and everything in between. Are you kidding me? This is a 5000+ pound SUV. I drive a lot of different vehicles, I mean a lot, and all I can think of is I have got to get me one of these. Fast and fun, I like everything about this Jeep.
