grand cherokee???

Ferm speaks the truth...he has way more experience than me but the "real" Cherokee (XJs) are pretty dependable little trucks. They make great off roaders as well and are very cheap to work on and find parts for.

problem is Cherokees are becoming harder to find and the 4runner is pretty pricey. actually considered the CRV. wont tow worth a sh!t but it's a good little truck and gets good MPG. gonna have to start working some serious overtime.

a CRV is ANYTHING but a truck..... everything about it is VERY light duty.... not far from a Civic

that 96 Cherokee I had took more abuse from me than any car I've ever owned. I worked out of it for two years before I bought my van. I gave it to my sister and about 6 months later the transmission crapped out. It took me 6 months to find a 2wd transmission. I only gave $30 for the transmission. I swapped it out, drove it for a week and sold the car. With my daughter approaching driving age, I wish i still had that car for her. It was simple to work on and reliable. They have gotten very hard to find now, most have been consumed by the off road crowd or bubba-fyed to the extent I wouldn't have it

My 98 Cherokee 4.0L has 214K miles on it and still starts right up. It's hauled V20's to and from Fla. (1600 miles one way) twice without a hiccup. Been in 3 accidents, all caused by people running into my rear or making illegal turns into my lane of traffic. (none charged to me) And I've never gotten so much as a scratch from any of them. They are incredibly tough, strong workhorses.

Charlie my sister had a crv (recently totaled by a hummingbird on roids) and it was a good vehicle. It wont pull the string out of a cats azz but was dependable. If you just need it for work commuting it should be fine. Just keep pads with you for when you start menstruating.

if your looking for a tow vehicle then a SUBURBAN is the way to go hands down! plenty of room for everybody & gear, great towing.fuel mileage is not to bad considering what they are.mine is all wheel drive and i get about 15.7 in town when not towing.older ones can be had relatively cheap!!

Wifey had a brand new 03 with the H.O. engine. Engine and tranny were fine but had all sorts of gear case problems....front end, rear end, many suspension issues, (3) broken window motors, (when they fail the window slides down inside the door if you are not fast enough to grab it). Radiator went one week before we traded it, another $400. There's a lot more but these are the ones I remember.

I have a suburban (Yukon xl) and I can wait to get rid of it. it's very thirsty.
