No third row seating in the GC. Like PBM said, the Durango has three rows and is basically the same vehicle, and the upcoming Grand Wagoneer will. I do wish it had a third row.
I looked at the Highlander, very competent vehicle...but for essentially the same money as a loaded Highlander the Jeep is a much nicer more capable vehicle, unless you NEED 3 rows.

I've loved the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee, both exterior and interior, since it was introduced. If I was in the market for a large SUV that would be the one. I would rather have that than an X5. Well done.

Just a quick update. I'm 1.5 months and 3,600 miles in
Jeep is running great. Going to put it in next week to have a couple recalls/TSBs done. An adjustment to the radar cruise control software, some other small recall, a TSB for the front axles (that ones pretty bad, I dont have the issue but a lot of people have had the CV boots fail on brand new Jeeps and the axles have slewn grease all over the inside of the wheels and undercarriage. Apparently a batch of axles had improperly applied clamps on the boots that slip off. Mine is in the VIN range so they're going to replace both axles even though I don't have any issues). Passenger door latch also needs an adjustment because it doesn't always close all the way the first time.
Just got back from having it at the beach for a week. 3 people and the dog and all our gear, needless to say we were pretty packed up...but the Jeep performed great, could use a little more cargo space but all in all its a great trip car. I hate to give it back to my wife tomorrow and go to work in the GS
Here's a pic of the back loaded up, and a pic of the dog in her nook. She likes the Jeep too

How is the Jeep treating you, any issues? Might pull the trigger on a 2015 Summit if I don't like the 2016 RX. Very impressed with the Jeep!

If he hasn't had any issues, I'd say go for it. I just saw the Grand Cherokee at the Dallas Auto Show with the interior combo (Indigo/Brown) that he has and it surpasses most other interiors in classes above it. Also, they hit a home run with the exterior. If I ever went back to a full-sized SUV it would be this one.
