Are newer jeeps that bad?

Opinion? You asked for it.

YUCK DEWD!  MOPAR is cheap garbage. Newer Jeeps look disgusting IMO, and I can't stand the Jeep community either with their "iT's A jEeP tHiNg" dreamy off-road fantasy cars. Mechanically inconsistent rigs.

So are you talking Mopar as a whole or just the Jeep side?  I would put my Ram 2500 up against any truck.  Not all people that own Jeeps are part of that Jeep community either.  My Grand Cherokee is the first Jeep we have ever owned.

I bought a 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 110K miles. At 120K, one off the serpentine pulleys sheared off the block. At 122K, the heads blew - new engine. Then the heater core at 130K. Water pump shortly after. The seat construction is horrible with band metal supporting the seats - also replaced at 130K. The actuators went out at 150K. The weather stripping died then, too. Other than a Willy's, I wouldn't purchase another one of those pieces of crap if it were free...because it would cost too much to keep on the road. Do I sound jaded? You bet I am!

As I was reading this thread, I saw a jeep pull into the parking lot at my office bldg.  Never seen one like this before....looks sweet to me.

Back in 2005, bought a brad new jeep Cherokee picked up from dealer, drove home on a way home had BRAKE light went on and it was just a beginning of all the problems i had. Differential problems and more and more.They had to replace it under warranty, lemon law at the end after many dealer visits. No more Jeeps in my family!!!

Get a 4Runner

It amazes me the number of these new jeep owners like Rubicon's with winches, lifts, etc. that never get off the pavement. Obviously an expensive fad

People definitely like to look rugged when they shopping. And they’re willing to spend a lot of money to look rugged.

I don't think it is what your wife may think it is (A jeep looking SUV), they have improved but in comparison to say a 4 runner it will ride like it has square tires.

Too many electronics on board that will have issues.
I can hose out my interior and it wont hurt anything.
Moved up from a 70 Wagoneer to a 94 Wrangler .
I can still work on it and it will take me anyplace I'm stupid enough to point it at.
Looked at the Gladiator but the dealer became upset when I asked about a 2 door version.
Says hes getting tired of that question.
