Why do you think is more safer the Jeep Cherokee or the Ford Explorer? - 1

Depends on the year but usually the Explorer, its a much larger car in general and its body shape allows it to take hits much more generously than a Cherokee. Any Cherokee that is not part of the "new" generation basically the upgraded sporty aggro look of today is a death wish. Explorers often have the better safety ratings and are usually rated in the top 10 of their respective category which changes depending on the year. Explorer will be safer in essence.

Does nobody remember all those Explorers killing people in the late 90's?

  • 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.
