Grand Cherokee vs. 4runner Trail

[ruthabagah]

4 runner all the way.... BUT make sure you either buy the 500$ TRD air filter kit or get a KN filter ASAP. I love my 2010, but I found it underpowered, and the MPG was not nearly as good as my 06 4 runner. Did a little bit of research, upgraded to the KN air filter box: It's like driving another vehicle and Gas mileage improved 2 MPG on average!

Those with jeep transmissions going out with less than 100k on them, how often was the fluid changed on them, and did you use the correct mopar +4 fluid? Overall, both toyotas and jeeps are sound vehicles. Make sure someone decent works on them, and keep the backyard hacks away from them. Keep the oil changed in them regularly, as spelled out in the maintenance schedule. Though I have nothing against toyotas, I think they are highly over rated, and overpriced, and some jeeps fall into that ranking as well.

I have two toyota land cruisers, and I have been out on the trail many times to even count. Toyotas are beasts. Jeeps are always breaking down on the trail.

I'll beg to differ, but I can't comment on newer Jeeps, my 88, 91, 99, and 01 Jeeps have always been awesome, I've beat the hell out of them, and then driven them to work the next day.

My Y2K Jeep Grand Cherokee has 182K on it with no serious maintenance issues yet. My wife's Y2K Grand Cherokee has 137K miles on it - we had to replace the A/C condenser on it back in '05.

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.

If they are so good why do you have to keep replacing them?
