We have a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4 x4 pickup and a 2012 Lexus RX350 SUV, Both of them have been the best vehicles we have ever owned.

I looked at Range Rover and really liked them but after driving the Jeep and all the options for the price you can't beat it. I plan on putting a supercharger and some other mods on it because 475HP isn't going to cut it very long..

2015 Sierra super quiet runs great A6

Not much for snow though.

Wife had her choice of any vehicle she wanted; I needed to get her out of her purple Acadia. She wouldn't budge...until I sent her the pik of this Cherokee and the color. That was on a Tuesday. She then told me to find one fully loaded... I did. This pik was taken on Friday. She wont let me take it in the mud just yet.

Thanks. Yep. Handles well for a winter daily driver.

My bride of 30+ years drives an AWD Charger with the hemi. She politely requests that I at least drive my C7Z with the tail pipes in track mode so she can enjoy the "ear candy". :-)

Mine is a little louder than stock with the Akrapovic exhaust and American Racing headers. I can still use the different settings for the exhaust. Needless to say it stays in the sport mode...
