Modern Jeeps

Wife always wanted a Sahara, but after driving one today she lost that desire. She's more interested in the Cherokee Latitude now. Any opinions on them?

Thanks in advance.

Avoid the Cherokees like a 6'2" 250lb drag queen.

What is your budget and what is your interest in Jeeps?

If you have money to burn, then buy a Cherokee. If you want a good vehicle, look at something other than what's been produced by Chrysler and FCA.

To a certain point I would agree with this with the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Ram trucks being the exception.

My inlaws have a little Cherokee. It has done well for them. No issues to speak of, and they like it.

I really don't know much about it, though.

What didn’t she like about the Wrangler? A Jeep Wrangler doesn’t ride like a SUV, like a Grand Cherokee. It’s meant for the experience, the fun, the pure awesomeness.

As for the Grand Cherokee’s, my wife loves her 2012. And from what I hear, the newer ones are real nice.

The wife always wanted a "Jeep", she just liked the look. We had an 85 Grand Wagoneer back in the 80s, a car that I loved, but sold it as I needed a pickup truck more. I told her that she needed to drive one to get the feel for them as there was more to "Jeep" than just the appearance. We're both in our 60s so when she felt the road, during the test drive she decided it wasn't for her now. She did drive the Latitude and liked it.

My suggestion is Grand Cherokee Limited and get the Maximum Care lifetime Service Contract. They get good gas mileage, drive well and are comfortable.

Take a look at these two:

Toyota 4Runner, easy to get into, nice road ride, basic 4WD: https://www.tomwoodtoyota.com/barga...-4Runner-3502b3590a0e0ae7223fbc2052f520f7.htm

Jeep Commander, traditional Jeep look, and it is in fact a Jeep: https://www.tomwoodtoyota.com/bargain/Jeep/2009-Jeep-Commander-b963dc5b0a0e0a1776af99fe0235699e.htm
