I've had good responses from Robert at FCA, he replied to my email this morning.
I've had my MY13/2012 Limited petrol since new(demo, 1100km). 126,000km on the clock today. Paid about $60,000.
Its only in the recent 2 years I am starting to go offroad so putting on more strain on the car. Other than that, its a daily office commute.
I've got the front runner roof rack and have managed to put a slight dent on the roof(front LHS revit nut) due to the WEAK load bearing on the roof of the Jeeps, and the worst thing is they have not improved it structurally in the current models. You have to admit the boot space cannot fit much!
With my activities, camping, offloading, rock climbing, I would have to say this would probably be my last Jeep GC.
The Jeep GC is nothing but looks in my opinion, but is not suitable for adventures with a full family. Single/Couples, yes more than adequate.
Oh, it doesnt help that my surrounding is all LR and LR Mechanics. Yes, they have issues too but LR simply swaps you NEW engines off the pallet when ever there are major problems, no dramas. I guess that is how they keep their good rep.
