Jeep popularity

They're all over the place around here. Most of them are all accessorized to the hilt. Lots of young gals driving them looking good.

It's a total yuppy trend and as any ither thing trendy just that. After spending a day and half in my daughter's while visiting her in Colorado they are horrible daily drivers. It was the most uncomfortable ride I've ever been in. There's was bought for a specific purpose, which most everyone out there has the need for, due to environment. Around here all the "suburvam warriors" use them as a status thing and never use them for their intended purpose just to say "hey look at me, I'm an outdoorsman and have a jeep" what a joke. The bottom line is, I'm an offroader which is suited just fine for the jeep but every day driving not so much.

I saw a couple putting a baby in a car seat in a 4 door late model and he had the top off. It can’t be good for that baby, the sun, the noise, the dust, etc... poor kid.

My kids grew up riding in a jeep. Didnt hurt them none. Best thing for a kid get out have some sun and fun.

Heck we grew up walking in that same sun and wind and dirt , maybe that’s what happened to me .

Jeep sales have been in a steady march up for over a decade and are what is keeping (along with some good Ram sales) FCA in the black.

I take my my kids for a ride every night. We watch my niece every Tuesday and that is all she talks about all week is her ride in the Jeep. I due agree the hipsters have been taking over though!

Barbie cars.....here.

I mostly see women driving ones that look good but are mall crawlers. There are a few in town that are set up right and they use them.

I think it is a lifestyle vehicle. Younger people look at them and envision road trips, parties out in the woods etc. They were popular when i was young and we used to go mudding in them. Was fun back then but now I'm looking more for something reliable and comfortable.

My truck is getting old (23) years and I am probably going to have to replace it within a few years. Eyeballing the Jeep pickup big afraid that it might be a little cramped in the shoulder and arm room compartment. With the doors on anyways.

When I was in my twenties I had a fiberglass body VW. Think it was a Manx or Meyer. Funnest time of my life. I grew up about 20 miles from Pismo Beach and the Oceano Dunes. Miles of beach to drive on and dunes to ride in. Use to take it to the drive-in movie theater. Thinking about getting another one someday.

I am on my 8th wrangler (2007) that I lifted and put after market bumpers and a hood, you get the picture........But they are
the worst riding vehicles on the road and lifted they are really bad...Like most lifted jeeps mine sits in the garage and comes out twice
a month but they are a fun thing, thats all they are....

[LgMouthGambler]

Real Jeeps have metal door handles. Just like real trucks have gear boxes and linkage, not rack and pinions.

I had a '97 Grand Cherokee that was my daily driver, I liked it used 4x4 in the woods often and never an issue, it did seem to collect salt from winter driving in places that would rust out alot of places, mpg was decent, when wife wants to sell the minivan she wants to get a new jeep

Jeep people “jeepeople” are always losers

Based on what?

[shortstick]

My wife has a 2018 jeep Wrangler 2 door model and she drives it on weekends. She puts the top down
gets her little dog and they go riding and they both seem happy when they get home.
I tried to get her to buy a convertible mustang but she wasn't having it she wanted the jeep
and that is what she bought. Her money her toy just like my boat.

Based on what?

.......the same train of thought that if 1 cop is bad, all cops are bad.........

[vatreefarmer]

I have a lifted TJ. Absolutely love it. It's not my DD, but nothing beats running down to the store with the top and doors off on a pretty summer day. It fills a niche that would leave a significant void if I were to sell it. However, everything sucks when a frog strangling downpour suddenly appears and you're 10 miles from home. I watch the weather if I take it on a longer trip when the top is off.

What amazes me the most is the people who will buy a $13,000 oversized side-by-side to hunt/play with when they could buy an older 4x4 wrangler that would actually have heat, windshield wipers, etc while also being road legal.
