If you are going to get a mid-sized gas guzzler SUV, it may as well be a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it should be the original ZJ generation (1993-1998) because the later Cherokees are plastic piles of Daimler-Chrysler era refuse. When new, the ZJ generation was exclusively driven by upper-middle class suburbanites who had kids but didn't want to be identified with poor people driving minivans (today these people drive BMW X5s, Lexus LX, Porsche Cayenne, etc) but a used one today can easily be afforded by even the filthiest of the unwashed masses. If you are going to drop a few coins on an ZJ, the only one to get is the model year 1998 only 5.9 limited. Find this 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited
