The Grand Cherokee can handle rough terrain and long highway journeys, but a roof rack almost always comes in handy for camping gear or skis. The exact vehicle generation and the type of roof rails you have determine the right choice of crossbars.
Over the decades, the Grand Cherokee has gone through several changes in roof mounting. Older model years ZJ (1992 to 1998), WJ (1998 to 2005) and WK (2004 to 2010) use raised rails. The newest generation WL, whose production started in 2021, switched to flush rails.
For transition years, do not rely solely on the date of first registration. Check the body code in your vehicle registration document to order a setup designed specifically for your car.
The offer for the Grand Cherokee includes setups for two types of mounting. Raised rails stand above the roof surface and you can easily slide your hand underneath them. The rack feet grip them from both the outside and the inside.
Flush rails on newer cars lie directly against the bodywork and there is no gap underneath them. In this case, the rack is mounted into the rail profile using a precisely shaped mounting kit. Before buying, just look at the roof and you immediately know which category you are looking for.
The Grand Cherokee is among tall vehicles. When loading bicycles or filling a roof box, you will appreciate a door sill step or small portable steps. This will save you from stretching over the fender and reduce the risk of unwanted paint damage.
Choose a roof box with dual-side opening so you can conveniently reach your items from both sides of the car. At the same time, keep the total height in mind when entering underground garages and hotel parking lots.
