Thread: Toyota or jeep

Two of my work associates have new Grand Cherokees. One is the top of the range version - very nice. Was about $80K

The other bought the limited edition, cheaper version (coil springs rather than air and less bells and whistles) was about $50K

Both are very nice vehicles.

Only drama in six months has been scratching the lens on the proximity sensor connected to the cruise control.(Sits under front bumper!!!) A new one was well over a grand (had to buy whole unit), but I think he managed to polish the scratch out.

One is a diesel and the other petrol and both seem to work very nice.

IMHO , Jeep have come a long way and is equal to Merc and D4....

(And a helluva lot better than a Toyota!)

P.S.Both have commented on the lack of availability of extras (Bullbars, Towbars, etc etc)

P.P.S. The Jeeps look a look better too.

Yes, in theory. In practice, there are anecdotes about NW establishments telling prospective customers to "take their pommie s**t out of here". I would want to be certain that a local establishment would take on servicing. And it is unlikely that Landrover would handle warranty or recall issues through anyone other than a dealer.

It is based on Triton but Challenger is coil solid axle rear suspension.
It also has the super select transfer case.

So they would rather Japanese s**t instead.... They forget where they came from. Can't understand this mentality.
