I do know a few people with Jeeps (as I’m sure we all do). They all seem to love them and they are pretty damn cool.  I wouldn’t want one as a daily driver though.  It’s not made for tall people.

Just my opinion.  When Chrysler took over jeep they destroyed the vehicles.  In the past we owned both a Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee.  Both were "good" vehicles for around 2 years or 40,000 miles.  After that they just started "falling apart".  I also owned a Dodge truck 20 or so years ago that I drove for 10+ years.  It did well, but I got tired of it "nickel and diming" me to death with stuff that failed.  It had plenty of power, but would also "gulp" the fuel.

I have two trucks that I am very happy with right now.  A 2016 F150 that is my "daily driver" and a 2010 F350 that is my "workhorse".  My wife is ready to get rid of her Nissan Pathfinder (2014) and is going to get a F150 once we move to our new home.

I refuse to buy any GM (chevy) product.

I do love the Fords.  I’ve owned 3.    All have been great trucks.  I’ve had a Silverado once.  All I’ll say is it didn’t work(out) for me.  Not to get into the Ford/Chevy silliness.  Ford has always been good.  At least since the early 90’s when I started to actually drive them. I’m sure before then as well.  Ford has recently decided to go all in on the trucks and suvs.  Bringing back the Bronco, which I’m curious about (though I’m sure in April I’ll be told I can’t buy one, haha). And discontinuing a bunch of the cars, except the mustang of course.   Fun fact: In the US the F150 sells almost 1million units.  Number one selling vehicle in the US.  2nd on the list is Silverado.  Sells just over half that.   That’s impressive, Ford knows how to do a truck!

My first was a 93 xl reg cab long bed with dual fuel tanks and the inline six.  I’d pay a good bit to have another one just like it!   Bare bones but man I loved that girl.
