What's the reliability like of Jeep Wranglers, 2010 or newer? There's so many of them here and many with low mileage. The prices don't look horrible either, so what gives on that? It might be nice in AZ to have such a vehicle for some light off roading or just taking the sides down and cruising with a nice breeze.
Thanks

Stay away from the 3.8, which was up to 2012 I believe. Go with the 3.6 Pentastar. Much better motor. Feel free to PM if you want to chat. [Reply]
Lew, what's the deal with the Mustang and not liking it? I remember back a year or so ago in a Detailing thread (hell, maybe this thread) when you first got it and you were very excited. [Reply]
I finally saved up enough and got into a car I had been eyeing for awhile now. It's a 2019 Dodge Charger SXT AWD. V6, black with dark gray striping on the hood, black interior. It's a beaut. [Reply]

Dude that was YEARS ago and I bet he finally realized chrome wheels are best left in the HS parking lot. [Reply]

I’ve owned the car 5 years now. She’s still fun. The wheels are still gay. I rarely drive it though and if I decided on getting a Jeep I’d probably sell it as I don’t need 4 cars for 2 drivers. Currently having 3 cars is enough. Just not sure I can let go of the Mustang though.... [Reply]

Wifes car

Yeah, that is enough. But you do need one that will carry a 2x4 or some sod.

The head issue is a good point. I should amend my recommendation to avoid the early 3.6s, so 2012 & 2013 to be safe. After that they were fine. I've actually never heard of any widespread timing chain problems, or experienced it myself. [Reply]
