I had to go look up the stats. Toyota has been a master at marketing lately, they seem to have a strong market share, so I had to ask myself. Would I buy a Grand Cherokee?
After reading a bit, I have to answer with a No.
Less power. Base model is 60K, and the reviews are not really that stellar....sorry.....

Yeah, agree with all of your points especially the reliability. However there are a number of grand Cherokee plug ins available around me that are well equipped and still under 60k. Just wanted to say that plug ins in that segment exist and they seem to sell very well. And is seems it's not too complicated and expensive to make them. So I wish Toyota would do it too with the Toyota reliability.

They will, but it'll be with their new solid state batteries. Give it another 5-10 years. 500 miles on a 10min charge? Hells yea

I wish they would already have a plug in hybrid. the legal framework in the US asks for that anyway and the popularity of the Jeep Wrangler Hybrid show that people would buy that.
I totally agree. However, I think there is issues with fitting the battery into a full body on frame vehicle. Plus you need more motors and electric hardware. It makes it hard to do while also keeping all the existing drivetrain hardware customers expect from a body on frame Truck/SUV.

The hybrid 4Runner should get about 25 MPG (give or take a bit). If you caught this part of the TFL video, they accidentally disclosed the hybrid Tacoma's 25 MPG fuel economy figure (which is still under embargo). Seeing as how it's the same exact i-Force Max hybrid engine and TNGA-F platform, we should expect the hybrid 4Runner to get very similar MPG.

The differences would be vehicle weight and which model in particular we're talking about. The beefier tires and lift on Trailhunter for example would make a difference.

Here's the video portion...

A lot of owners of the LC 24/25 model years with the same MAX engine are getting around 21 mpg on good days. Could be roof racks, tires, wind and if you are using premium fuel playing into the results.
