I own a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. I bought it used, less than a year old. The driver's seat is too small and does not have enough adjustment for someone my size. I'm 6'2" 220 lbs. I cannot drive any distance without experiencing a lot of pain in my foot, leg and lower back. I love everything else about this SUV but cannot continue to drive it. I think Chrysler cut corners on the seats and the interior leather, as at a year old the seat was already cracking and showing wear.
For those models that have the capability of extending the pedals, it may not have the same issue with seat adjustment but I think the seat is made for smaller people. I'm currently looking for a new SUV but so disappointed, since I really like the Jeep. I wish the driver's seat was more comfortable.
