Powertrain Options and Availability

Laredos came standard with a 210-hp 3.7-liter V6. Optional for Laredo and standard on Limited was a 230-hp 4.7-liter V8. Optional for Limited was parent-company Chrysler's 325-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8. It had Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System, which deactivates four cylinders at idle and in cruising to save fuel. Horsepower jumped a bit for '06 on the 4.7 and 5.7 and a new 420-hp 6.1-liter V8 was added in the line-topping SRT-8. Regardless of engine, sole transmission was a 5-speed automatic with manual shift gate. Jeep recommends regular-grad fuel for the V6 and 4.7 V8, mid-grade fuel for the 5.7 V8, and premium-grade fuel for the 6.1 V8. For 2007, newly optional on all but the SRT8 is a 215-hp 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel.
