Ok so Jeep and Fiat obviously do not have the best brand image when it comes to quality. This perception should not be applied to this vehicle. Nothing to me comes across as cheap or low quality. Just remember that you will be dealing with Jeep service department. I haven't heard the best about Jeep service, but every brand has good and bad dealerships. Just do your research before you get it serviced. see full Jeep Cherokee review

Depending on who you ask... the ram is a nightmare for dependability. Its my second one. The first one went 300 k all original before we sold it. Its current owner is at 377k still all original untouched. Ours is good so far but its still a baby! see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

Dodge has taken a hit in quality and the future is not to bright. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

Dodge does not have the best reputation for reliablity but it has really improved to the level that I think anyone still holding that grudge is living in the past. Have spent less than $500 on repairs in 10.5 years. Most of that was wheel bearings which on vehicles this size used hard like mine is practically a maintenace item. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
