I drive 2007 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7 V6 4wd limited and I just passed 222K original miles and she still runs amazing but in my head I drive an SRT8 Sometimes even a Trackhawk
I got rid of my 07 charger srt8 a few years ago and finally got an 06 jeep last week w/80k miles. Paid under 20k. Im never letting go of this. They cost over 30k on the west coast for under 100k miles
@@Bigmanfitness77sorry just saw this now man … I’ll tell u this I’ve had it for over 7 years and as far as reliability … perfection …. Only a starter was done besides oil changes n obvious normal maintenance
Maybe best car that i've owned and I have had 2 of them (2006 & 2007). Currently own 2007 SRT8 and had that 7 years already. More we move into future I think this brick design will look more and more agressive:)
I love this truck and I own a 09. You can turn the trunk lid over and keep the groceries in that area without them sliding around. And those are halogen headlights 😉 good vid 👍🏿
@@srk88 Depends on how well maintained it was. A Carfax on it would be a good start. Bought an '07 at 112k miles 5 yrs ago. Im at 139k miles now. Besides Oil&filter changes every 4000 miles I've replaced: Brake pads All 4 tires Radiator/waterpump/thermostat It's my daily driver
To my knowledge the srt badge in the front bumper is factory the chrome trim comes on the grand cherokee limited not just on srt’s. The key and interior changed in 08. The 06/07 have halogen headlights. Some 08 - 10 still have them, but they could also come with projected hid’s
Most of the changes you mentioned started in 2008. The Grenade Key, black seats without SRT8 and box, steering wheel. My 2008 have all those. Radio was different in 2008 also
@@wisdomandlove1661i got my 08 SRT this month with 100k miles for 20k. I put down 6k. because banks dont like to finance 10 year old plus vehicles. got it from Virginia but i live in Southern Maryland. pricing was more than fair. Virginia is always cheaper than Maryland
I had a 2010 SRT8, silver just like this one. In 2018 I traded it in for a Trackhawk. Should of kept the Srt. Sure the Trackhawk looks better and is much faster but it cost me an arm and a leg!
is there a way to fix the electrical? all the lights on my dashboard flicker on and off the a/c cuts on and off too, this happens from time to time. but why? and how is it fixed?
@@fallback8314 hey I just fixed this issue on my 06 srt8. All the lights would flicker on and off as well as cut my ac on and off; it would also cause my cluster to turn off and on while the car was still on (sort of like if you were moving the key back and forth between on and off). A faulty wire wasn't making good contact to the ignition switch and the fuse box wasn't sending signal so it would cause the cluster to go crazy. Try that and also look for messed up wires on both the driver and passenger doors that are going through the door wells, I know it sounds farfetched but this is a common issue on these monsters. Let me know if that helps!
I love my 07 srt bought her brand new. All original color is red rock always garage has 67000 miles. Sad to say my wife wants to sell, a buyer is coming to take a look full cash offer at 27,000. Did my last drive yesterday, my age is 71 I guess time to grow up. I agree car will be collector car. I shouldn’t complain my wife drives a 911 and also selling😢
From 2006 and probably until 2010, these jeeps were in the mid five second range. Prospective buyers understand this. 420hp and 420lbs of torque is not much considering the 4800 lb weight. My 2006 charger RT with a 5.7 put out 340hp and 390lbs of torque and was 5.6. The jeep only has 80hp and 30lbs more than the charger BUT weighed 800lbs more. The extra hp and torque is completely negated by sheer weight. It’s a beautiful jeep but this will not beat the same year charger, challenger, mustang, or 2010 ss Camaro. If you want speed and performance, get a muscle car. If you need a family car, this is a good balance. Just know you’ll get stomped by the performance cars.
I previously owned an 08 Charger SRT8 and currently own an 08 Jeep SRT8. Stock for stock, the jeep is quicker but the charger is faster if that makes any sense. Weight is always an issue on the top end. But the jeep will leave most dime a dozen "performance cars" off the line with ease being AWD. And with the right mods, or a power adder, they will have a helluva time trying to catch you. The WK1 SRT8 grows more rare by the YEAR and was an instant classic. I still smile each time I see one.
With my 2 jeeps that i've owned I have done lot of testing with Racelogic and also ran in standing mile event. 0-60mph 4.3 0-100kmh 4.5 Trap speed 173kmh/108mph Standing mile went 228kmh (142mph) but this thing is not really made for that.

I love mine too, def gonna get more collectible in my opinion
I just picked up an 07 w 113k for 20. I love it.
BEST CAR IN THE HISTORY OF AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN …. Yes I own an 08 and it clarifies the definition of perfect
How’s reliability?
It's not mean for that at all, hence why he says DESIGN not reliability

@@cmuir97it’s amazingly reliable. Had it for 7 years and only a starter was put in besides normal maintenance. It’s been the most reliable car ever

I hope so, it’s been a great car for the year I’ve owned it
How’s the reliability? Transmission? Hemi tick?
I definitely like the 06-10 boxy body. New ones are very nice but something about the 06-10 that is right on.
This car is amazing. I wish I could afford to have one of these
You will just trust the progress
Currently have a 2010 one. Literally one the best cars in my opinion
I like that the horsepower and torque is 420 😎
That’s one of the reasons I’m about to get one
Thanks for reviewing this American 🇺🇸 icon 👍🏻
Facts ‼️
I daily drive my 06 SRT8, I love it.

Do you think its fit to daily drive?
@@jordanfuller5458 yes as long as you have Premium gas money.
All good points! I daily it and only thing I don’t love is gas mileage and harsh ride
How reliable are they in general? I found one with 133k miles for a reasonable price. Any input from owners would be awesome!

Love this car, always wanted one
What a great review and what a great car!
Number one

It's also not a Fiat (Ferrari) stereo. They were firmly merged with Mercedes Benz at that time
Love my 09 that I just bought earlier this year so worth it the new ones are nice but too expensive atleast these are a little more affordable
Definitely worth the money even in this crazy market
@@AmericanVsImports how much can one expect to pay for a 2007 in this market?
Obviously it depends on mileage and condition but an unmodified one with higher mileage (around 80k) can expect to pay around 20k

Love the vids!!!!
use the rear compartment space for floormat storage.
That’s a fantastic idea, thank you
there is a tow hitch for the 1st gen SRT, however i believe not too many srt owners bought it
How would that work with the exhaust
@@AmericanVsImports it slips out between the exhaust pipes and the body
The sides are chrome on limited as well
Space is where the guns go
This review really makes me considering getting an SRT 8 jeep. What’s your opinion, are the older models or the newer models better?
2006 Jeep Srt is the best all the new Srt jeeps are basic
I love the older muscle over the newer
6.1 over the 6.4 everyday
I heard ticking on that one headers long tube kook make it sound good with low cam

16 years and only 32k miles!?!? WOW...........my black fully loaded 2007 srt 8 jeep currently has 59.2k miles
Ford windstar had pedal adjust i believe 2002
Does anyone know the size difference between the front and the back is it 20x9 front and 20x10 back?
That secret storage is for square flounder....
Is it 4x4 or awd because you didn't show any 4x4 buttons
AWD always
The very first thing i changed was the antenna..... couldn't stand it
Found one with 115k miles, everything clean for 14k is it worth it ?
Take it to a shop and flush and make sure the sunroof ain’t leaking.
In the UK there are 2 I'm looking at an 06 and a 10. Both under 80k miles, just less than 14k! Both come with fsh and warranty
Ty
Probably keep wrenches and jumper cables in that one spot but thats just me
That’s a great idea
Guy wedged the exact same one underneath a bridge died instantly same color!
I remember that... WILD!
No need for more power ? I disagree tell that to the procharged and twin turbo and 426 stroke wk1 owners me being one whenever I decide to stroke it
2010 SRT8 can pull 4.5 second 0-60s very easily
Sold my 2010 a few years ago and really regret it!
I bought a 10, 4 years back from Chicago 15k on the clock.
I have mines posted on my page 2006 🔥

Nope, tires are staggered...larger rear tires
@@SofaKinwut what does that have to do with a spare.?
You cant tow?!! SMH ,i have the 2012 srt8
The center mounted exhaust prevents towing where your exhaust is out of the way!
that's stainless steel on the bottom of the door sills same goes for the bumper in back
Basically a Trackhawk without a blower
