Trailhiker Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Either Dodge or Chrysler will likely die due to the mega-merger. It may be Chrysler now that Jeep is a more premium brand, but there is still a chance it will be Dodge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 That thing is good looking. Immediately recognizable as a Grand Cherokee, but obviously all new too. Nice evolution of the design. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who it was but someone said last year that it was now cost prohibitive to do BOF so they stretched the Grand Cherokee platform for it. Grand Wagoneer is BOF (Ram based as noted earlier). Grand Cherokee is unibody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The interior is done right....ford simply cannot get an interior done right...i like the mazda cx5 interior as well but want to still see mazda integrate the tv screen...the "flow" just does not work well for me visually with the pop-up tv....jeep should sell many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the Jeep or the Mazda but want something nicer, what do they offer? Nothing. They (like Kia) don’t have a luxury brand to compete with. It would be silly for Ford to do Aviator quality interiors on Explorer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 You simply do not get any value compared to cost...its where (interior) ford is taking a beating.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddysystem Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I've come to like the exterior of the current Explorer minus the ST and cop grill (square air intake) and bland tailgate. The stance and profile is nice. On the interior, the IP is not competitive at all. I was hoping one of these new off road versions would have some decent mechanicals like the GC for some light overlanding, beach duty or whatever. It's got the bones and correct layout to do it. Instead we get tow hooks, a stupid red trim bumper accent and OK tires. So I'm not a target customer for an Explorer or even GC, I get it. I have a killer Rubicon Jeep that goes off road once in a while. I'd trade it for a 4 door Bronco after they finally sort out their stupid trims but sometimes its nice to buy a vehicle that has the capability and image even though you don't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging what the Timberline has before it's even revealed based on some pictures? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
