Exciting new vehicle
I love my 1998 Jeep Cherokee, so this excites me:

I think it will be the perfect vehicle for us hunters. The only downside is that it will likely be expen$ive, and i don't like to spend a lot on vehicles (which is why I drive a 20 year old Jeep!).
Are there any other Jeep fans out there? What do you think?

You can also wait another 20 years then buy a used one. Have always liked the Jeep truck... Expensive I bet !!!

Yep, it's gonna be xpensive for sure, I've owned a few jeeps, cj's, yj's and tj's, I liked them, but to small for what I need now, the old J10 jeep trucks, now those were nice

Looks pretty cool but I think I'd still take a Toyota Land cruiser(euro, Africa version) over that, not sure what would be cheaper lol

Cool. Looks good. Personally, I have no reason to give up on my Ford’s.

It's too bad Fiat-Chrysler discontinued their TJ,CJ lines. Buddy and I used to bomb around back country roads varmint/predator hunting in his TJ. It was quite the unit all rigged with oversize tires,rifle racks with just enough room in the back for backpacks and a cooler full of sandwiches and "pop". He drove that thing until the wheels fell off. Aw-w-w-w,the memories of youth. We spent most of our money on shells,gas,babes and beer. The rest we just wasted.

They state it is Best in Class Towing;
Jeep = 7,650 lbs. vs Chev. 1500 Silverado 6.2 L v8 =12,500 lbs.
Chev. 4.3Lv6 =7,600 lbs.
Chev. 5.3L v8 =9,800- 11,000 lbs.
Something is dreadfully wrong in their calculations.
I definitely will not give up a Chev. for that new Jeep.

I don't think African models are available in Canada. If they were,no one would want to cough up the mega bucks after duty and tarrifs were applied. They'd be cost prohibitive except the very well healed. Hell,I'd settle for an old Willys army jeep.
