This is part of why the Chrysler appealed. Great reviews on every 3rd party site (Edmunds, etc.) and they drop like a rock in value for the first 2-3 years and then level off.

I'm on board with every part of that but the Chrysler part.

If I were buying something like what you described, I'd pick up the lowest mile F150 4x4 I could find and run it into the ground.

Chrysler does a good job with the Jeeps in my experience.

I think I'm on like Jeep #5, taken all but the 2 most recent well past 300K. The new ones are still to be tested but all seems well so far.
