Ken,

If you definitely won't go GM or Ford, I'd bite the bullet and buy the Pilot or FourRunner. I've got many friends that love their Grand Cherokees and an almost equal number that are extremely unhappy with theirs. Be sure to drive both the Honda and Toyota for a few miles as they are very different. My wife's vehicle is a Highlander (similar to the Pilot) and she loves it. After 3 years and 67,000 miles, nothing has been done except for normal maintenance. The brakes still have decent pad thickness!

Another choice may be the Nissan Armada or the Pathfinder. The Armada is based on the Titan pickup and has the best gas engine (V-8) in the class and the Pathfinder is all new and has more horsepower and torque than the FourRunner or Pilot. It is comparable to the FourRunner. If the styling doesn't turn you off, the Nissan Murano has a great powertrain and competes against the Pilot and Highlander.
