Going from driving a Ford escort to driving a jeep grand Cherokee. Tips? - 1

Bring beers as many as you can.

Go slow and take your time with parking and driving on the road until you get used to the turning radius and acelleration

Don't try to take turns at full speed. GC doesn't necessarily handle as well.

  • Should I get a Ford Ranger, or a Jeep Cherokee (XJ)? I'm shopping for a 1st car. I can't deside if I want to get a Ford Ranger or Jeep Cherokee! What do you think is better, and why? I would use my car for offroading, daily transportation, hauling wood to my camp, hunting, etc. I have a budget of around $3,000. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
  • Ford Ranger or Jeep Cherokee? Which 4X4 would be better as a daily driver, transporting drums and guitars to gigs, and towing a 26ft airstream occasionally? I need a truck or SUV that is reliable, cheap to maintain, and built to last. I live in the UK, and don't have much choice because the bigger American trucks like the Ram or Silverado are hard to find over here
  • Which is more reliable an '06-'09 Ford Explorer or '06-'09 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Trying to decide whether to go with a Grand Cherokee or a Ford Explorer now. It would be a 2006-2009 model year for either of them. I read tons of reviews online, but you can't always rely on that info. Just don't want issues like my tranny in my 2011 Ford Escape… That was hell!
  • I want to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee, is it a good deal? My parents presented me with a Jeep Patriot in the year 2011, now that I have a job I'm interested in purchasing a Jeep Grand Cherokee. My father owns a Ford Explorer, and my mother owns Hyundai Tucson.
