You guys should all go drive your trailblazers and astro vans.
Now that I think of it, what sport utility would you take over a jeep? A trailblazer or explorer? Come on, trailblazers are about as modern as a fucking rock. Explorers were cool in Jurassic park movies.

Buddy has a loaded up Trail Blazer, leather etc. Not bad. Drives good. But I’d take a Grand Cherokee over it.
Ford Edge’s are really nice too. The new sport one with 22" wheels is sick.

Why ya gotta hate on the Trailblazers? Lol. Yea 90% or trailblazers never see dirt. I love mine since its lifted and it stands out, but yes I’d rather have a 05 Grand Cherokee with a 5.7 Hemi

I always thought the 4.0 was indestructable but I noticed when I was thinking of getting one that several of the Cherokee’s on Craigslist with over 100k have newer motors in them.
My grandmother has an '04 Grand Cherokee Columbia edition with a 4.0 and I really like it. Probably the most comfortable seats Ive sat in.

My best firend has been into jeeps for years. ALways buying super old ones though 80’s early 90’s wranglers or whatever. Last year he bought a brand new one and did his standard offroad jeep stuff to it and hated the thing. The continue to progress more and more towards comforts and less and less actual utility
