Dumped off my 2018 Laramie Longhorn 1500 crew cab for 2021 LexusGX460. Only got 35,500 for my trade since the windshield was cracked. The 8.4in touch screen was delaminated and the heated rear view mirrors had burn spots on them. 52,000 miles on the truck. No hemi tick though. I have to say the RAM ride is on par with Lexus. I will miss the horsepower for sure but really that truck held its own against the Lexus in comfort ride and handling. I did test drive a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L overland. The quality of the Jeep was a huge dissappointment. The entire vehicle seemed cheap and poorly made and cost 3K more than the Lexus with nearly identical equipment and just a 6cyl. Engine. I hope Stelantis doesn't make things worse for RAM. Anyway. Thanks to everyone on the forum. I learned a lot about my truck and wayyyyy more about oil than I ever wanted to know.

I thought the same thing about the grand cherokee long. My wife and I were interested in one until we saw it. Went with a durango again. Got the hemi R/T and it was several thousand cheaper than the 6 cylinder crappy looking grand cherokee long.

That's disappointing to hear about the GC-L. I always liked the looks of the trackhawk and was kind of interested to see what the newest version would look like.

The WKL isnt too bad looking, I was torn between the GC WK2 or Durango, and rented a V6 one in Orlando and liked the layout of the GC a little more.
