Well anything would be a step up from a Chevy. Lol

Jeep is not as good as they use to be and the explorer is not one of Ford's best vehicle.

My wife drives a 2012 Grand Cherokee. She drives it everyday, she likes it. We get about 19 to the gallon in it. I’d buy another.

IMO there are better options in that class. We just bought my wife a similar rig. We checked out quite a few, and neither of us liked Explorers or Cherokees. Her last car was a Mazda CX-9 and we liked it but it got totaled. Our unanimous first choice would be a Toyota 4-Runner or preferrably Sequoia, but didn’t find any that fit the bill in price range (paying cash with insurance money). We ended up with a Nissan Pathfinder under 100k, WITH a new transmission, since that was a chronic issue with them. The Pathfinder sits up like a truck more than most SUVs today, which keep getting lower and more car-like. Tow package, good tow and load ratings, and uses the same 16” tires as my Chevy, so tires are now family-universal smile. I like it.
I know some guys are still trying to buy “American” cars, but I gave up on that when I realized how much of my Chevy is made overseas anyway. It’s all the same today if you ask me, and some of the Asian rigs are much better value.
