    His new wife came out and watched him for a few minutes before saying "Now that we are married, you should probably sell that old thing"
    Suddenly the mans face went pale and he looked as tho he was going to be sick.
    "Are you OK ?, whats the matter" asked his wife.
    The man said, "For a moment there you sounded like my Ex-Wife"

      This was never supposed to happen. They made some mistakes around year 2000, and some Jeeps came out more reliable than the leadership had pointed out. People got fired, there were reorganizations, and they after some time came back on track developing cars that not would last that long. Everyone can make mistakes.

    Jeeps may have gone downhill but I got a 16 Cherokee and I REALLY like how rugged it is compared to any other SUV I've seen. The rubber mats are so easy to clean, the interior looks great, and the only problem mine has is the shift lights get confused and it throws a "shifter service" warning, but it drives and shifts just fine.. it's literally just the lights lol
    That said, nothing about the new cherokee's scream off road to me. It's just a typical SUV with a few nice touches on the interior.

    I guess I’m a lucky guy... I’m over 60 and have owned Jeeps my whole life. Mostly Wranglers...but some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Cherokees too. I take care of my vehicles and never miss servicing or oil changes, and air filters. I also keep them as clean as possible, both as a hobby and so I can notice any strange leaks or fluids. I’ve never had SERIOUS issues with any of these Jeeps. V8’s, V6’s...no troubles. Don’t get me wrong, I do agree there are times when FCA released products too soon. The 9 speed transmission originally was released before the software was ready.But, even so, you can keep your vehicles running pretty good if you just pay attention. If I am one lucky guy...I’m real lucky. Because Ive owned almost everything Jeep has made...except 4 cylinders (although I like the 2.0 Hybrid/Generator motor). No troubles...know on wood.

    Ive always put my new tires in the rear and rotate the rear to the front tires. This comes from my experience with Sears Radial (think Michelin) tires in the mid 1960's when the Sears mechanic refused to mount two new radial tires on the front of the car with the original bias tires in the rear. He insisted that the higher traction tires belong in the rear of the vehicle. I have done that ever since and never have had an issue with donuting out on a slippery curved road.

    The tire problem is the new pair of tires has a lower load rating than the old tires . You have to check the load rating when you get tires . On a cargo van ,mini van or station wagon it will call for a higher load rating on the tires because you can load more stuff . There is a number and a letter on the tire one is the weight rating one is the ply or speed can't remember . You need to get the correct weight rating for your vehicle you can look up the codes for car and truck tires .

First, until the Bronco, it was the only car where you can take off doors, the top and the windshield. Second, it retains 70% of its value over 5 years - more than any other car (including my 4RUNNER).

I have never had a mechanical issue with any of my Jeeps and I use them hard offroad (from the Everglades to Alaska) and put a lot of miles on them (typically 100k plus in the first few years, I travel a lot). Sure they drive like a brick on highways, but once offroad, there is not a modern vehicle that comes close to a modern Jeep. As for warranties, well, I purchased a 2023 JTR (Gladiator Rubicon) last week and it came with a lifetime warranty on both motor and drivetrain as long as I do not modifiy them without MOPAR parts and do regular oil/fluid changes as you are supposed to. Jeep knows people will be modifying many aspects of their Jeep and they do not void warranties for most modifications. There simply is not a modern vehicle that will perform offroad like either a Wrangler of Gladiator with the Rubicon trim (well, maybe the Mojave if you are into Desert racing).

    I own a 06 jeep commander v6 with 250k miles on it running like a champ. Ive recently purchased a 2021 jeep gladiator high altitude and i absolutely love it. Has 18k miles and ive owned it since new. Its definitely a head turner. Every car will require repairs to maintain since parts are designed to fail after so many miles. This is how car manufactures continue to make money.
