my 96 grand cherokee gets me from attleboro to narragansett 4 times a week (2 times in the off season) no problem. 147K on the chrysler 318 (same as the dodges) and still runs like a champ. unfortunately, some jeeps are lemons, but for the most part they are a good reliable ride. I do have to say that the all time 4wd is not to my liking, but I believe that you can get either or.
if u wanna REAL sand sled get a K5 blazer with the 350 and jacked to the sky:D

Jeep Grand Cherokee---I've had one since 2000---five of my freinds have had them for at least 5 years. None of us has had any of the problems mentioned. Comfort, reliability, easy parts.
I would recommend Select-Trac --switchable to 2 wheel drive.:)

On our second Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000)now. My daughter has one (also a 2000). Other than problems with the front brake rotors on my daughters', we've all been very happy with them. I've heard they corrected the brake rotor problems. I also agree on the Selec-Trac for switching from 2WD - 4WD or also AWD. Very economical with the 4.0L.
We wont talk about the mileage in my Dodge Ram.:yak: :doh:

Engine warning light went off again this morning. Third time in six days, this will be my third trip back to the dealer.

Will be car shopping this weekend I think.

I would never consider a Jeep Grand Cherokee after owning one. After about a month the water pump started leaking. Within a year the fuel pump died. It was about 2 or 3 years old when the tranny started slipping in between shifts in cold weather. I was happy to see it go. My wife drove it on road. She didn't like it. She replaced it with a Hyundai Sante Fe which she loves.

On the other hand, my 1999 Toyota Tacoma has 155, 000 miles on it and I replaced the tires once, had it tuned up once and changed the oil in it every 4 or 5 thousand miles. Still runs great! It might need some front brake pads in the near future.

Just remember, there's no bigger oxymoron in the automotive world than "British reliability" :laughs:

I just went over 100K in my Grand Cherokee this morning. Spend the $300 for aftermarket front rotors once the factory ones warp. Other than that, zero problems.

Happy with my Toyota, T-100(pre-Tundra), also! I've got over 178,000 miles on it and thats mostly from drving from Boston to South County and beach driving. No complaints:)

mooncusser 04-23-2004 01:37 PM

I drove my 94 GC with the 318 in it for 213,000 miles before a deer totalled it for me. Never had a problem with it except for the dreaded brake issue. The thing ran like a tank right up to the day the insurance company came and took it away. The only reason I didn't get another was the interior space was a tad too small.

RickBomba 04-24-2004 12:16 AM

I like chris' idea with the hippie bus. LOL Rick

still got a jimmy 1994 4x4 going, racked up mad miles, never had a problem with it except for the godforesaken occasional EGR valve crapping out with carbon deposits... once had a fuel injector replaced but that was a byproduct of the EGR valve chittin' the bed real fast...

anyhow, still using my jimmy, it works, it runs, and im thinking about tradin' up to a newer jimmy, i want a 4door pickup jimmy
