Define 'older', I'm over half a century and I think your Fiat is a real Jeep, just not a real Cherokee.  ;-)

Seriously it's a good machine.  I just have this thing that the 'Cherokee' name should have been reserved for a uni-body with the Wrangler drivetrain (including solid front axels).  The new machine should have been 'Liberty' after the Cherokee XJ replacement with the IFS.  

I took my wife shopping for a Cherokee, we liked the vehicle but the seats didn't work for her.

Check out the Jeep Forums, they have a subforum specifically for your KL Cherokee

OP, here's a forum for just KL Cherokees:

We're blessed to have a KL Trailhawk, and I absolutely freaking LOVE that vehicle.

We had a 2014 KL Trailhawk (the first year the KL came out), and now have a 2019 KL TH Elite. Our 2019 has the V6. IMHO, it's the goldilocks vehicle - perfect size, sweet driving on the road and highway, and really off road capable. If ya youtube KL Trailhawks, you'll see that they can run with JKs and JLs out in the wild, at east until the most very difficult stuff is encountered. Nice thing is in 2019 or 2020, they went with all LED OE lighting - you'll get OE LED main headlights and fogs.

We owned a 2018(? i think) new JKU Sahara, and although it was sweet and badass, I could personally never warm up to its highway manners, so I have owned both. Wranglers and KL Trailhawks are both awesome vehicles, IMHO.

If ya get one, after initial break-in, please consider literally driving it like ya stole it, with regard to flooring it from stop and at speed sometimes. Some folks say the transmission is picky in shifting, but I did this in our current one (they all have adaptive learning these days), and the transmission is smooth and perfect IMO at all tasks.

They now offer a turbo 4 for them too. At least one member here has one, and I recall he likes it. I've read it has impressive torque and get up and go. I'm old school and still afraid of Direct Injection, for the potential of carbon build up, so I went with the 6.

They briefly offered an Elite sub-model, but now I believe it's a package. Anyhoo, IMO if you can find one with the upgraded sound and sub, it's worth it if ya love music. I believe it's Alpine sourced, and with the right EQ tweaks sounds amazing.

They do come with the engine start-stop mess, but there is a button on the dash that turns it off, which i hit every time i get in it. Please feel free to IM me if ya have any questions. Like i said, i'm really impressed with and enjoy it, and i'm a car whore and a previous serial buyer.
