Whichever dealerships have no inventory. Stay away from those.

Not sure what you should say away from. But you should definitely go with a 2002 ultimate limited 4x4 7.3 excursion.

I have one and love it. Rides like shite and doesn’t handle well. And there is a wait for one unless you get lucky.

That’s because it’s an SUV. Most people who claim they want an SUV really want a crossover or van.

I like the way it rides. Maybe because I had a legit truck before going to 4Runner? Suspension is easy to change if you want a softer ride.

Also looking to get in an SUV soon.

Looking to get out of my 2016 F-150 super crew with 130k. How much could I get for a trade in? It’s in decent condition.

Looking for something medium sized.

I try to get a Grand Cherokee when I work out of town. I love them. Should I stray away from the Jeep?

I got 19k for a 2012 f150 with 110k miles.

Plug it into KBB and they'll get you guaranteed cash offers from local dealers.

You will get a ton for it.

ETA also traded mine in on a 4runner so here's another vote for that tank.

I kept it clean but had just spent 2k replacing the steering column that went out and it was leaking fluids.

It was a 4x2

Don’t know much about the 2023/2022 models.

The 2018-2021 model Grand Cherokees have gotten very good. The Pentastar 3.6L V6 is a very good engine even if it’s a bit older. The chassis on that model is actually an old Mercedes design. And Jeep has been selling virtually the same product for about 10 years now. They’ve ironed out most of the issues.

Not to be confused with the smaller front drive based Cherokee, which is a Fiat chassis that absolutely sucks. You should stay away from any Jeep or Chrysler product where the engine is mounted sideways. In fact that might be good advice for any American brand.

Every time I get in one I’m so surprised at the interior, and the driving experience. The engine is impressive and has some pep. I’m just concerned because of the Jeep brand. I don’t want to be paying out the arse on repairs 24/7.

Lease it and turn it back in after 2 before the side mirrors start falling off.
