The Grand Cherokee WK honestly isn’t a bad car, there are just some design choices that really show how Jeep was pushing itself in two different directions at the time.
I have a number of Grand Cherokees (including a WK), and modded /r/grandcherokee for 15 years as an enthusiast.
The WK was the last one that I would call somewhat offroad capable, before they completely Fiatized the line. It’s not as easily modded for good offroad capability since it has IFS instead of a front live axle like the predecessor models, but still had a fairly robust 4WD system and you could add lockers, rear disconnects, etc. The engine options were kind of anemic, though. Lots of room in the back if you pulled the seats for camping, etc.
If I knew it could make me this happy, I’d buy a Jeep so fuckin fast
