Jeep's large family four-wheel drive, launched in 1992 in memorable style when Chrysler's Bob Lutz drove the first one up the steps of the Detroit motor show hall and through a plate-glass window. It mixed real off-road ability with car-like comfort, and later spawned very fast SRT and Trackhawk versions.
