Yeah.... I think the Grand Cherokee is a great vehicle, all in all. And the Wrangler can't be beat for its versatility as an off-road 4x4 you can still drive daily on regular roads.
I like the lifetime/unlimited mile warranty Chrysler is still willing to sell people too. I invested in that for my 2014 Wrangler, betting that it will come in handy at some point - since this Jeep is a vehicle I plan to keep for a long time.
But I really dislike that mentality that "it's just an off-road 4x4 vehicle, so those people don't care about the technology in the radio". I hear that claim a lot, but the Wranglers have evolved to add more and more "creature comforts" like leather seating, automatic climate control, etc. I think people who spend the money on models above the "base model" are looking for the smartphone integration and everything else these days, because we DO plan on using these Jeeps as daily drivers in most cases. Most of us can't afford what they cost just to keep them for weekend camping trips or rock crawling off-road adventures.
