Because Cherokees/Renegades/Compasses don’t have the off-road capability to even get into a situation where they would need a locker?

I’m curious as to where this old saw about solid axles comes from. I suspect it is from heavy duty pickups which have extremely stiff suspension for carrying heavy loads and thus ride uncomfortably when unloaded.

Maybe, but they sure as sh*t will try.

I didn’t say anything about rich people and I didn’t say it was good or bad, it is just is. Unless some genius can come up with a better way for companies to raise the capital needed to grow companies to a huge size it won’t change.

You have to remember that Ford is owned by shareholders whose one and ONLY goal is to see a return on their investment in a relatively short span of time. They don’t give a f*ck about Ford’s long term health, the economy, jobs, or doing what is right. Shareholders expect increasing profits and ROI every single…

I disagree, I mean when was the last time you saw a commercial for a Chevy Silverado and thought that women must be beating down the dealership door to buy one? They feature men doing manly things with other men: ranching, construction, camping etc and are likely not being run during Real Housewives episodes.

Agreed, these people have moved onto Challengers, Camaros, or full size ‘Merican pickups.

Nah, if I had that much money and a desire to annoy the sh*t out of people I’d buy a car that is actually interesting and use an airhorn to achieve the same effect.

Let me get this straight, a guy who has no problem revving his engine in front of a hotel and disturbing the inhabitants is suddenly struck with righteous indignation and desire to fight the system when his pee pee gets slapped? What a tool.

Hopefully Toyota sees fit to equip the new Supra with a decently powerful gasoline (or fully electric) motor.

I agree, at least there is some variety within the Wrangler lineup with the 2 door, 4 door, and now a pickup model.

The Cherokee has much more Fiat DNA than it does Jeep, it is a warmed over Dart with little more capability than a Subaru Outback. It is a marketing exercise by FCA to cash in on the crossover craze and the Jeep brand and not a serious attempt at a capable Jeep or a legitimate followup to the old XJ.

I went through the same thought process recently and it came down to the 4Runner and Wrangler for me; ended up going with the Wrangler Unlimited but it was a very tough decision. I also gave some thought to regular cab pickups like the F150 FX4 (which has a decently short wheelbase) but ultimately decided I wanted…

Sadly there is zero Jeep DNA in the entire thing.

Not true, most states simply require a certificate from the chassis manufacturer along with receipts for the rest of the parts to calculate the car’s value. The DMV will then affix a VIN and away you go. This is how replica Shelby Cobras and any number of other small scale manufacturers are able to stay in business.…

I bought a 2016 JKU Rubicon about a month ago, awesome vehicle so far. I am shocked at how comfortable, quiet and easy to drive it is on the highway especially with the MT tires. Granted, my former vehicle was a stripper, lifted ‘96 Bronco so my standards for comfort arent that high. The interior is simple and…

What a horrific inconvenience. I saw a woman this morning attempting to text and eat yogurt with a spoon while driving a 3 ton SUV at 60mph. She felt entitled to veer into the bike lane, drive completely erratically, and generally put everyone around her in cars, on bikes and on foot in an insane amount of danger. I…

Out her in flyover country our parking spaces are as big as an NYC apartment!

That’s a hell of a way to run a railroad! (always wanted to say that)

Yeah, clearly the OSHA guy isn’t anywhere close by.
