2026 GC L Limited Reserve 5k Miles
After a lot of thinking, back and forth, and should we or shouldn’t we, my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on this stunning “Mostly New” GC L! Slate Blue, and it looks so much better in person than in photos. More green undertones and closer to teal than straight up light blue.
This is by far the nicest and newest vehicle we have ever purchased. Originally we were in the market for a Durango, but our sales person offered us a test drive in this and we instantly fell in love. I am still skeptical of the Hurricane I-4 Turbo, so we opted for the 100k B2B warranty just in case. We drove it 1.5 hours to get home over mountains (Western PA) and on the highway for the last stretch and have a solid 24.5 mpg on that trip. The new hurricane didn’t flinch at all and felt incredibly competent moving this SUV.
We upgraded from a ‘19 Sorento and the size increase is perfect for our family of 4. If you are debating between a Durango, GC L, and Wagoneer and lean towards the midsize rather than full size I’d recommend considering this.
- Fit and finish is immaculate for the Limited Reserve.
- Hurricane I-4 seems strong and capable (does run hot and vents a lot of that heat into the engine bay).
- 2nd row captains chairs are wonderful for car seats.
- Family Friendly features like “FamCam” and 360 cams are a big welcome addition over the Sorento.
- Sound system is great. Low end is very extended and solid at the stock setting. Pushing the low end up to +9 is ridiculous, but the woofer handles it. Highs can be a little thin at higher volumes, I’d recommend setting them at -1
Time will tell on the I-4 reliability, but so far so good, and we are extremely happy with our purchase! Happy to finally be a family of all Mopar.
