It was very entertaining as you never knew what sort of mood it was in until you started driving.

Went like stink tho'.

When we first had it, I went to pick up a horse trailer load of haylage. On the way back I was tinkering with the new buttons etc., looked up and there was a vehicle in-front "pootling" along at 40mph. So I floored it and overtook in a few seconds, reached 60mph and looked in my mirror to pull back in only to remember I had 3ton of trailer and load behind me.

Never felt a thing. Soooooo much torque!

Loved it.

Would like a 5.7 Hemi version, but have no spare funds.

Hey-ho.

That sounds like a pretty powerful motor.
It has been discontinued in the UK now but about 6/7 years ago Mercedes did a V8 4.2 litre CRD diesel ML. I drove a couple and they were very impressive but somewhat thirsty almost as bad as a V8 5 litre petrol version but with much more torque !

It was awesome. It did 22mpg, which financially was 44mpg 'cos of the LPG.

The wife absolutely loved it, as did I. Just a cracking drive.

It's like The Eagles said...

"...you can check out any time you like,

but you can never leave."

If you've any problems with the Jeep post 'em on here, you may be surprised by the answers. There's not much that doesn't get solved.
