There are some alluring things about the Grand Cherokee, the v8 for one, and in the overland with the off road package an arguably better 4wd system, 1.5" more clearance, and what Toyota can't figure out yet (but prices as if they included!) creature comforts and tech....HUD, heated steering wheel, pano roof, etc. The ride and handling is much better, seats are better, stereo is very good, the cameras are MUCH better.....the only real "miss" they did was putting tons of gloss piano black in it, gets scratched to heck in a month and looks horrible.

However at this point what it seems like the 23' 4-runner is going to be the same thing the 22' was, so in that case why wait. They are only going to jack up the MSRP next year, and probably add next to nothing to it. The pace we are going I would't be surprised to see the 6th gen end up a 25' year model.

Now the 6th gen becomes more interesting because it's a wild card. If they turn it into the 23' Sequoia, add a bunch of tech which is good, but lose 25% of the cargo space for a hybrid battery, and the turbo 4cyl ends up just as neutered for power as the current 4 runner is but they add $5k to the price tag.....putting a TRD Pro over $60k......do you still want one?

The Bronco's are great, but the way things are going it might be 25' before they are available at even MSRP.....car flipping has become an industry, tons of people putting in reservations to flip cars now on everything, Raptors, Bronco's, ZR2's, AT4x's, anything popular people are dumb enough to pay over MSRP for. It's doing to car prices/availability what AirBnB did for home prices.

In the end between the two I think it comes down to your priorities, if you want something to Mod that's going to see tons of off roading and you don't care about creature comforts, and will drive it for 20 years the 4-runner is the clear winner, but if you want something that's much nicer to daily drive, with more tech and power, don't want to put 37" tires on it, but can still handle as much off roading as the stock 4-runner can....if not more....(the Grand Cherokee has better approach, departure, and breakover angles than even the TRD Pro) the Grand Cherokee is the winner (potential reliability aside). The reliability or lack of along with fast depreciation is the kicker with the Jeep.
