Depends on what kind of Jeep you are talking about. A 40s or 50s military jeep might be expensive to restore and maintain, but I am on my 5th Jeep now. I have owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, a 2004 Grand Cherokee, a 2007 Grand Cherokee, a 2018 Grand Cherokee and my current 2023 Gladiator. In all those years, and at least 450,000 driving miles, I had virtually no issues. I don't count brakes and other such wear out things. In all those years, I had to take my Jeep to the dealer 4 times; once for a Throttle Position sensor ($325), once for the turn signal switch ($345) and two times for minor items under warranty. I did not want to mess with the turn signal switch because it required messing with the air bag. I figure that over 450,000 miles of driving for $470 worth maintenance was not bad at all. I never had to replace any front suspension parts and I never had to replace any exhaust parts (stainless steel systems). I am SOLD on Jeeps. How many other people have had such great luck with a single make?
