This was the first Jeep I had ever purchased. I have been so impressed with the quality and reliability since then, that I have purchased 2 more and kept my original one. They are rugged, comfortable and very reliable. I chose the I6 4.0L motor, it has plenty of power and is one of the most durable ever built.
love my Jeep!

This is the 3rd Jeep I've owned in the past 20 years, and while the Laredo was my favorite when I was younger, I've got to say there comes a point when all the bell and whistles are nice to have! I know Jeeps, and I know they need preventative care, Having said that, regular maintenance is not a problem. If you are looking for a quality vehicle, safe, roomy and enjoyable to drive to that cabin in the woods, or skiing, you can't go wrong with the Orvis. Watch out for ignition switch wear, I have learned to have them pulled and replaced at 100k, wear on this can cause automatic shut-down on the vehicle.

One of the most durable cars we've ever owned! Cast iron block engine refuses to die making this a low-cost vehicle to own. I believe they changed in the model years to follow. If you're looking for a cheap SUV that is super reliable, take a 2nd look at this model. With 297,000 miles on the original engine and tranny, it showed no signs of quitting. If it hadn't gotten moisture/mold on the interior carpet, we'd still have it. The insurance company would not replace the carpet, and decided to total it out. We paid $3400 for it, drove for 7 years, and totaled for $2500. How's that for retained value! I should add that a mechanic once told me that he had customers with well over 400,000 miles on this model-year!!
