Re: Which Chrysler SUV/truck would you get?

I couldn't care less how reliable it is. The whole time I own it it will be under warranty. :) I'm even going to get free oil changes for the first 2 years.<br /><br />Now I'm leaning towards the Grand Cherokee SRT 8. $39k sounds down right reasonable for one of these:<br />

<br />What's a little more debt, huh? :D I'll bet it will keep it's resale value a little better.

Don't you think 12mpg EPA is already bad enough? :D

Re: Which Chrysler SUV/truck would you get?

Hey ZMOZ -- Just a lil update on the Daimler/Jeep engines.<br /><br />The '07 Rubicon(Wrangler) has the new 3.7 liter motor next year; buh-bye to the old I6. I'm not sure what I think about that. The I6 has been around for EONS and has proven itself well from its long life/longetivity. Its also a very torquey motor. <br /><br />I have a friend who works in service at a Jeep dealership. While I was in their shop shootin-da-poop with him a manager came up and we got to talking about the DC/Jeep diesels. The diesel in the Liberty is going to be different next year. I guess the current one cannot keep up with the Fed's standards. Also, the rumor of the GC diesel seems to be a little more than rumor. The mgr was at a meeting with some DC reps and they said it is going to happen... maybe not in '07 but probably '08.<br /><br />Sean

Yeah, I've been reading all the reviews I can on the GC and they all act like the 3.7 is such an improvement over the 4.0 - and then go on to call it underpowered and recommend the V8. :rolleyes: HP is the only number they see...I don't think they know what a torque curve is. Plus we all know what kind of reputation Chrysler has for reliability...<br /><br />If only they offered a Hemi Rubicon. :D <br /><br />Here's some interesting info I found about the GC diesel...I wonder if this is what the libby is getting?<br /> http://www.jeepnewsnow.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=918 <br /> http://www.motortrend.com/auto_show...rage/jeep_grand_cherokee_bluetec_concept.html <br />Apparently they're injecting ammonia into the catalytic converter from a tank you have to refill every 10k miles. Hmmmm....

Re: Which Chrysler SUV/truck would you get?

I would look into a 3/4 ton truck if you can use it. It Will benifit you mor if you ever look into getting a bigger boat or camper or what ever you may like to tow. You won't be as restricted to what you can tow safely. Plus the resale value of a 3/4 ton truck is going to be better down the road. The Cummins motor is a great option on the truck. It get good mpg and is a very reliable truck. Plus it will really help your resale value. When buying a new car/truck don't look at what you only need right now, look down the road to. I use to sell cars and trucksand have had people buy what they want now, but come back a year or two later becuase they have outgrown what they thought they wanted. It makes slesman very happy!!!
