    Why anyone would buy anything from GM or Dodge is beyond me.

    I have worked in the oilfield the last 6 years and been through about 6 trucks. Dodge & Chevy and a GM.
    Granted they are not a Cherokee, but once they got close to or hit 100k miles, they took a shit.
    I was so concerned with this, I had a survival kit in my truck for the inevitable breakdown 30-40 miles form civilization and
    I was forced to walk out once in the winter. Thankfully I had my mountaineering equipment including a sleeping bag and 2 man tent
    and the walk wasnt to bad once first light came and set foot out during the day. This was in west Wyoming with little to no traffic.
    I have a Tacoma I have beat to hell harder then those work trucks, because I turst it more, and I am at 110k
    and it is holding up mechanically like it has 10k miles on it.

    Spend the extra on the 4 Runner and we wont be reading a thread created by you saying how big of a piece of shit the Cherokee is.
    I promise you , you wont be dissapointed in the 4Runner. The 4 Runner will easily last 250k miles with minimal routine maintenance.

    Grand Cherokees are overweight highway vehicles now. I've owned two, and many Cherokees before those. I'd still drive a regular Cherokee if they made them. Get an XTerra.

    Dont ever buy an Xterra or a Pathfinder.

    Buy a used 4runner and drive it till the wheels fall off. Mine has 225 and going strong and still has resale value.

    PM me if you need a shop. My shooting partner is a Toyota master mechanic and can check out a used vehicle before you buy it.

    Haha. The 250k is good to hear as I'd love to get over 300 just to rub it in everyone's face because no one thinks I'll keep a car that long. I've had my current car 5 years and recently got rid of 9 year old undershirts, 300k should be easy with the right vehicle.

    The only thing I dislike about my Tacoma is I paid a shitload of money and it doesnt have auto headlights and the interior is kind of Chevy Cavalierish

    Its not necessarily cheap but it isnt close to $25k worht either.
