Yea, right
At 71kmh instead of 61kmh it now tips over
So as its ir daily driver
I hope you don't go above that

I would have picked the raptor anyday
Bit now i wouldn't even consider that as my second car if i had the option

Scary stuff

I previously owned a 2012 Grand Cherokee. While I do wish I could own both the Jeep and the Raptor, the Raptor is the better choice imo.

Raptor:
-Far better offroad capability
-Better resale value
-Gets about the same MPG as the hemi while weighing 1200 or so lbs more.
-Performance is far better. While the Jeep has good power with the hemi, it's very sluggish compared to the Raptor.
-More Cargo room

Jeep
-Easier to park
-Very smooth DD. It handles more like a car.



Best I could average in the Jeep was around 14-15 MPG. Which I was really disappointed with. Granted I did upsize my tires an inch over stock but to get 14 MPG with 32" tires when my last F150 got 18mpg with 33's and 12 with 37's and weighs at least 1000 lbs more. Jeep may have improved this with the new 8 speed transmission.

Best looking Cherokee I have ever seen. Props to you!

I think parking is the only draw back with the Raptor. I always park at the back of the lot, but sometimes the entire lot is full and squeezing between 2 other trucks just isn't an option. I'll probably be picking up a secondary car/suv for date nights or when going to areas where parking sucks.

Had a 2008 WK Diesel. Was great but doesn't come close to the Raptor. My g/f took over the WK. A few months later she had the chance to use my Raptor and now the WK is gone we have two Raptors. The only thing I miss is the diesel.

The new grands seem like a step backwards for capability if you ask me and if I had to go with something else it wouldn't hit my top 5.

Thanks! If it wasn't so crappy on mpg I'd have kept it as my DD.

My dad was a control freak. When I was 21 and told him I was going to buy a street bike he flipped out and said I would die. I grew a pair that day and told him to **** off. Got the bike and my relationship with him has been very balanced since that day. Get the Raptor and you'll never be able to wipe the smile off your face!
