I loved my 2019 Cherokee. I didn’t do any off-road things but it pulled my trailer better than my 2024 Pathfinder does. If I could, I’d switch to a Grand Cherokee without second thoughts.
I didn’t sell it because it had problems. I sold it because I wanted. I changed it mainly because it pulled only 4500lb and my trailer has this maximum weight. The Nissan Pathfinder was rated 6000lb but it feels like it struggles more than the Cherokee did.
I didn’t have any major issues with it, I really liked the car.
Yeah, that’s a huge deal breaker for me. Even if I wanted to spend Jeep prices, I want to get 15 years out of a car. My 2008 G6 made it to 16 years. And the parts were crazy cheap. It’s the gold standard I measure my cars to now. My car is basically just for commuting to work. No frills necessary, just good gas mileage and cheap repairs.
That and people still buy Jeeps.
There is always an idiot ready to be separated from their money.

and unsurprisingly, 7 years later you don’t own it.

Jeep has consistently ranked the in the bottom three for reliability for over 20 years.
They are poorly built which us a shame because on spec sheets they look good for off-roading but I’d never trust one in outback Australia.

I rented one of the new higher end ones recently and it was absolute garbage. Would not rent again.
Jeeps are weird in that they are great cars if you know how to do work yourself or have a cheap mechanic. If not then no fuck them.
that was true over a decade ago. Cheap Stellantis garbage today.
Maybe they used to be.
It is a sacred universal law that the most reliable truck on earth is a used Toyota hilux with the machine gun bed mount package
