srst8 for the powa

dexter · 03-25-2009, 02:57 AM

the power is undeniable but my last jeep cherokee was a p.o.s. i'm just worried about reliability

methodtim · 03-25-2009, 04:06 AM

No contest. Unless you want your SUV to fall apart on you one part at a time, get the 4runner.

blue2fire · 03-25-2009, 04:15 AM

Get the SRT-8, it is properly quick and not a Toyota.

E82tt6 · 03-25-2009, 11:11 AM

Get the toyota, it's properly reliable and not a Chrysler.

In all seriousness get an Audi diesel wagon or something instead of some big dumb suv.

jeremyc74 · 03-25-2009, 11:17 AM

Toyota. I like the concept of the SRT, but I wouldn't touch a Chrysler these days, and the interior is crap in them.

BForbes · 03-25-2009, 12:08 PM

SRT-8 all the way. My neighbor has one and it is incredible.

flyinb501 · 03-25-2009, 01:18 PM

If you want to have fun get the jeep. The 4 Runner is a great truck too, but I love that jeep!

ragingclue · 03-25-2009, 02:22 PM

Get the truck if you intend on doing any real truck things. If not, get the bucket of bolts.

laperacfo · 03-25-2009, 02:24 PM

Pathfinder

dexter · 03-25-2009, 04:00 PM

dude i'm so torn this sucks. anyone here have experience with the jeep srt-8's how is the reliability?

E82tt6 · 03-25-2009, 04:36 PM

Buddy had one and sold it because he was getting to be on a first name basis with the service depts family he was there so often! I keed, I keed.

There is a reason the warranty on them is so different from the other cars.

dexter · 03-25-2009, 04:56 PM

the warranty is different? please explain

ZJP · 03-25-2009, 05:09 PM

SRT-8 for sure.

I don't know what's up with all the haters saying that it's a POS and such but the new Jeeps are pretty nice for what they are.

dexter · 03-26-2009, 03:05 AM

one thing i noticed that i do like about the 4runner that the jeep cant do is the rear window rolls down via button located next to the steering column. which is nice. for my dogs etc. but dont get me started on the thinhs the jeep can do like the 4runner cant, for instance outrun a porsche cayenne turbo
