2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Vs 2023 Dodge Durango: Which Is The Better Value? 

You compare a base model Durango to a loaded Cherokee which costs 10000 more. For 54 thousand you can get a Durango RT plus which has a 10-inch screen a hemi V8 with alcantara leather seats and a suede headliner this is not a fair comparison as this will sway people without them having all of the facts in hand.

I like the fact that the GC and Durango still have a truck look to them. So tired of everything looking like different sizes of half smushed eggs. Had a Durango a long time ago with the V8 magnum engine. Loved it. I think I'd opt for the GC as it fits my life more now. With 5 grandkids and 3 adult kids, I need space and power, ac vents, power ports etc. for a more comfortable trip. Great comparison video, thank you.

For me, I would go with the GC. I prefer the comfort in my old age.

Just traded in a Durango SXT for a Overland. What an upgrade! 🍻

My dealership gave me $1k discount on the L overland. The price is now $64k. Lol I told the sales guy to call me when it's $54k.

I bought a brand new 2021 Durango RT, Tow N Go and only put 11,000 miles on her. Well, the powertrain started to take a dump on me and whilst under warranty they ended up replacing like 4 major components and was still having issues. I loved the vehicle but with kids, taking trips, etc I had ta bail as I didn't trust it anymore. The dealer took my car off my hand and gave me money to put down on a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland with the 5.7 Hemi. WOW! I actually do not miss my Durango RT Tow N Go with this thing! The interior ambient lighting is so cool, there's massaging seats, panoramic sun roof, this 5.7 V8 and transmission (not sure if they're exactly the same in each vehicle) but the Jeep seems more smooth, pulls harder and better shifts. Really love this Jeep!

204.9" Silver Grand Cherokee Altitude L 4x4 for the WIN!😀

Nice comparison video

Durango is an older architecture with what i felt was a smaller interior space (im 6'1" and 230lb), much more cramped 3rd row, and significantly mire expensive insurance rates. I also preferred rhe GCL displays and dash.

I just spent a couple of weeks looking for a Grand Cherokee Limited to pull my 3500 lb boat and trailer. The GC is rated for 6200lbs "fantastic" however Jeep adding a trailer tow package was almost non existent in the Limited. After some more research I discovered the Durango is pretty much the Grand Cherokee L sister however the Durangos come with factory installed trailer tow package. Some Jeeps came with a Trailer tow prep package but no hitch or plugin. Dealer wanted 1400$ to install hitch and wiring. We are happy with the Durango same engine same dash and electronics and seating as far as we can tell. GO DURANGO.

I’m prepping for GC purchase with the altitude package, limited or overland.

I prefer the look of the Durango along with it's Mercedes GL derived architecture v.s the Alfa Romeo of the Jeep.

Great video as always, Ben. Love your new Mustang!

which one is more reliable? Im stuck choosing between these two models as those are my approved leasing options, I need this to be a family vehicle, what would you go for?

Considering their designs are 10 year apart. Hard to imagine how similar they both look side by side

The other big difference is the drivetrain, dollar-for-dollar the GC will always have a superior off-road setup where the Durango will have a more tow/driving oriented package.

The Durango gets my vote. 👌

SUV + Charger = Durango

Just went through this went with the Durango RT Tow n Go. Had GC's for years but not a huge fan of the latest style and the fact the 5.7 V8 is almost impossible to find in the GC, I had to go with the Durango as a boat pulling SUV. It's thirsty, but sounds awesome with that SRT exhaust. Really happy with the RT

Durango love the style and shifter

I still prefer the wk2 gc over both

Gt or GT plus for the durango would be a lot more comparable to that grand cherokee. Both still have the same pentastar V6 there and mostly the same base options

I currently have a Durango… looking to make a switch to the GC limited… love durangos but I am so drawn to the GC

The Jeep needs the I6. Not sure what they're waiting on.

I have the GC-L and love it, but have some issues with it 1. I upgraded from a 2010 300, and I could download my music. Unfortunately I can't do this now. 2. It came with the back up camera, I went back to the dealer to see if I could add the front camera. One dealership said no, the other said technically yes. But the front end and modules would have to be changed and it will cost roughly $4,000 to upgrade. 3. My dash camera is powered by the cigarette lighter outlet, which is located in the little compartment with the door that closes. That's not conducive for the wiring because eventually repetitive opening and closing it is going to cause damage to the cord. 4. I didn't like the fact that the seats are half leather and half suede. The only way I could get all leather seats was to upgrade to the Overland, which was the extra $13,000. 5. That trunk apartment is really small. My husband is a survivalist. So the emergency kit, gas can, blanket, and emergency food would not fit in there.

If they are the same price. You go with the Jeep. I love the Durango but the tech and other features it comes with makes it a dinosaur. Plus this whole Durango body style is done after this year.

Why would you compare a base model Durango to a fancier, higher trim level Jeep Grand Cherokee?

No $... Buy Durango..... 😂 have extra $... Buy GC. 😅

I got to go with the Durango... the styling goes to the Durango, however the GC has a great interior. BTW love the mountain view in the background!

Durango always 🔥

Walked out with a new Durango Launch Edition for 38k, only feature it’s missing that matters is land departure. I have heated seats, remote start, acc/fcw, and a classic muscle design before they’re gone. For 38k, when Jeep wanted 45 with 5k in incentives, nah I’m good. The latest ain’t always the greatest, and the Durango has a great track record. It really comes down to preference on these, even though the Durango is older architecture it’s solid, and it’s tech has been upgraded throughout the years. Cant go wrong with either, but reliability wise the Durango is what I went with.

jeep grand cherokee l and dodge durungo compete with honda pliot and toyota sequoia & grand highlander nissan armada

Good ❤

The Dodge Durango for $49,000 plus is not a good buy considering what is on the vehicle. The Jeep is also overpriced. If I was shopping the two, I would just leave the dealership!

Altitude is 53k but Durango at 53k gives you a V8

They’re the same car

If going with a American Brand for about 45-50k I might go with the Chevy traverse RS. The Durango would be my runner up.

durango

I prefer V8 grand Cherokee L

I bought the wife the Durango, the GC same ugly front end they have used for probably 20 years.

Grand Cherokee👍

Completely unfair comparison!! This is like comparing a Chevy Tahoe, to a Cadillac Escalade!

you have the basic model

Just got an overland L and you can’t compare the two. The dodge is a 10 year + technology. The tech in the L is way better. If you just want a muscle car look in an SUV then fine, otherwise, no comparison.

Jeep’ looks little more roomy

They're both Mopar!

❤😂🎉😅😊😊😅🎉😂❤😂 Very nice
