Wondered if anyone has ant views on Jeep Cherokee (Not Grand).

2l 170bhp AWD. Think all the 140bhp have low tow weights. Circa 2014 plate. Nice and heavy.

Anyone got one, know anyone who's got one etc? How's it tow and solo?

All views welcome.

Thanks

I cannot comment on that model - I have a Grand Cherokee and previously an old "classsic" Cherokee (the XJ 1984-2001). The XJ was superb, ran it 19 years, 275,000 miles, most reliable car I ever had, wish they still made it.

Anyway, one thing to beware of is that, despite some high profile TV adverts, Jeep agents are few and far between; and all the ones I know cover Jeep as a sideline with Fiat (who now own Jeep and don't seem to care much for it) as the main one. At one Jeep main agent I saw only one Jeep among a sea of unsold Fiat 500s, so many I could not even park on the premises; it did not give me confidence in their Jeep "expertise".

It does not bother me much because I do all my own repairs and servicing, and I have got to know some grey importers of parts costing typically a third of main dealer prices. They are the same parts but bought by an agent in the USA who air-freights them over within a week - which just goes to show by how much the main agents rip people off. A joke on the Jeep forums I frequent is that the Grand Cherokee is so called because anything a main dealer does to it costs a grand.
