Grand Cherokee vs 4Runner

[LandCruiser]

Buy the Grand Cherokee SRT8 (in black, obviously), a Member's Only Jacket, Aviators, and grow a sweet 'stache. A pair of tight fitting acid wash jeans wouldn't hurt, either.

Drive up to your local community college and sit at a stop light, rev that big ass hemi until the ladies come-a-runnin'. Disengage skid control, launch control, ABS, VSC, ESP, CIA, TIA, EMP, and whatever else you can push.

Put one Converse on the brake, and one on the gas then do a four wheel burnout a quarter mile long and watch the panties drop.

Sure the little fillies are just trying to put themselves thru night school with a job at Waffle House, but that doesn't mean they can't endure a night of lovin from SRT8 Cherokee Man!

Why would you ask this to a bunch of people who like 4runners. Its like asking Obama if he is republican......

I read your post on the WK2 forums here: Grand Cherokee vs 4Runner - JeepForum.com

They actually seem like a reasonable bunch.They acknowledge Toyota's reliability and a couple even suggested the 4R depending in your use. Don't think I saw anyone bashing the 4R, just stating the facts.

Definitely seems to be more issues reported in their forum though.

Thanks for sharing..

I found this to be interesting

"The more electronic gizmos you add to a Jeep the less reliable it is, Chrysler/Jeep seems to have a problem with quality electronics and computer software. But all that will be covered under warranty for the most of the vehicles life if you're only planning on keeping the vehicle for 100,000 miles. Which IMO isn't very long, pretty much every vehicle made today will last at least that long with regular maintenance.

What will you be using the vehicle for? If its just on road transport and you're not towing or carrying payload then the Jeep will be your get vehicle. But if you're looking for a rugged and reliable "truck" that will take you to remote locations and doesn't mind carrying a load of payload then the Toyota is your better choice.

I think you're going to lean toward the first rather than the latter."

People really buy a car to only go a 100k? Why waste all that money over and over again to not have it pay off. To each his one

This is the best advice ever given on an online forum :banana:

Thanks for all the comments guys. This post on the Jeep board was a bit telling. Granted 97 was a long time ago but these are the exact items I'm looking to NOT have to replace, especially multiple times in the case of the water pump.

Just replaced a 1997 JGC that had 182K with a 2014 JGC. Just wanted something new. The 1997 was pretty reliable. Tranny rebuild was the biggest thing we had to do to it. That, a radiator, a couple of water pumps...
