Spotted this in traffic this weekend. No, those aren’t Autozone stick on letters, they’re embossed into the chrome trim.

Beats me. I was thinking that maybe Jeep called the WK Grand a “cherokee” in other markets but I can’t find that anywhere.

Edit: I should look at the you might also like section: https://www.theblingking.com/product/jeep-grand-cherokee-chrome-rear-lift-tail-gate-handle-cover-trim/

In any event, explains the how, if not the why.

Probably some aftermarket thing you can buy in some jeep store.

Is Wisconsin considered a foreign market? It should be.

Exactly. Why label it as a lesser* model?

I remember seeing these here when I was looking for black trim to black out the window pillars on my WK that I’ve since sold. Never bothered to black out the pillars because the difference on my dark green color would’ve been subtle.

It’s a big improvement on lighter colored WKs though.

Anyway, yeah, for some reason (indifference?) that aftermarket trim bit says CHEROKEE instead of GRAND CHEROKEE.
