You got 200,000 miles out of your timing chain guides.

RRSS is too poverty for footballers, Bentley and Maserati are more their speed. With a RRSS you're just another guy with a comfortable ride and 510hp under the right foot! Interior of the RRSS blows the doors off BMW (we won't even mentions dodge as their millennia behind in This regard, lol)

I didn't say premiere league.

Maybe just a US college American football star then. Really, they bought it with their own money, not a booster donation.

The Top Gear segment on the 2014 RRSS was epic. What a monster.

^ exactly what I was thinking, they haven't made a good jeep since amc existed, there are a lot of SUVs out there Id kill for a g63 amg what an amazing vehicle. I'd say really take your time and drive a few other vehicles. Doing the chains isn't that terrible I did them in my e38 and it was a lot less scary than you think

My last Jeep had to visit the dealer 18 times in the 14 months I owned it to have warranty repairs made.

Never again.

buddy of mine that I told not to get a jeep Cherokee got one this summer ,6 months down the road the tranny went in it. SO STAY AWAY FROM DODGE. I worked at a dodge dealer ship and I stayed in touch with the mechanics there ,and they obviously still have issues with tranny`s . now its been at least 2 weeks without his vehicle.

My 05 Ram 2500 4x4 has been pretty much bullitproof as long as I've owned it, which has been 6 years. Original tranny with 134K, just preventative maintenance, and no issues whatsoever. I take my Ram places I wouldn't even consider taking my X5. I do know Dodge has some build issues however, but I don't believe I got one of them.

LOL....One is a heavy duty truck, the other is a light duty SUV. One has "proper' 4wd, the other an "all wheel drive" system with uneven torque split - of course you can take a "real" 4wd places you would never consider going in a "dirt carpark special".

Using the Dodge as for purposes much lighter than it's designers intended, I would be VERY surprised if you had any major dramas with it.

^^^bingo. Apples to oranges here. Jeep GC to X5 is a better comparison, and trust me its no poster child for reliability.
