I’ve owned a few Cherokee’s over the years (’85 and a ‘90). The ‘85 had the 2.8L chevy and the engine was junk, the 90 had the inline 6, and the inline 6 was a great engine. You needed to make sure the PCV stayed clear, but overall a good car. One negative with the Cherokee was the spongy brake pedal feel. Could never get rid of it and just had to get used to it.
The Toyota’s have been excellent vehicles. You pay more for them, but they don’t nickle and dime you to death during the service life.
Yeah, I’d prefer a Toyota, just these deals came up. The ‘06 liberty was a light deer strike, I bought for $1500 and put $300 into, blue books for $3300 and runs GREAT. Love the way it drives.
The ‘07 was originally purchased by a lady that ran a mail route, but determined the car to be too nice to take on the route. When she died, her daughter was a substitute carrier, and determined the car to be too nice to go on the route. I bought it to TAKE ON THE ROUTE! Only has 49,000 miles, still a new car.
