Isn't it a FWD based Cute-Ute?

They all have AWD options which is the only consideration from my standpoint.

I know but I'm confused. Where you just joking when you said off road capabilities to rival Wrangler?

shouldn't be difficult considering the JK chassis isn't exactly known for it's offroad prowess.

XJ and TJ were the last real Jeeps. TBH I doubt we'll ever see a real one again.

So with body mounts and a lift kit, the JK would still suck for off-road?

Well maybe rivaling was a stretch, but you sure as hell cant get far on rocks in the 13 liberty from what I've heard. All of the affordable jeeps aren't very good for rock climbing. But this new Cherokee is supposed to be...

Only like the SRT8, - though think its 2012/13

Red__Zed · 03-21-2013, 12:03 PM

woo-hoo another epic car ruined by slapping a meaningful name on a pathetic chassis.

I'm almost as excited as I was when they moved the Wrangler to a mini-van chassis.

Since they used JK for the chassis code then, you figure this one will be LOL?

Damn... I don't know a whole lot about these types of vehicles. So what went wrong exactly with the new chassis?

School me on this... please.

the short answer is it is a road going unibody instead of the abusable one on the old cherokee.

I want to get into off roading and rock climbing too

Have you looked at the 4runner trail edition? It has a body-on-frame chassis and you can get KDSS too

Looks like it has amazing performance and makes a strong case as a Jeep alternative. Sadly, I just don't like the way Fore-runners have looked since 2002. I like the Fj but the wife hates them. i tried convincing her for us to get one before I spent money on the altima. It was a no go.
