Considering a Jeep or is it too much a gussler mandy pandy car?

[Sustain]

SRT 8 6.4L

 

Secound car for wife

 

Might need it for towing horse float and/or boat

 

Expect to be forking out extensive range of extras no matter what car so while ultimate price not relevant might need to evaluate the mix of base price to extras.

Paul (Furkew) on here has just bought one but he uses it for off roading I think but he should know, even Wendee may have an idea

I have the limited edition jet model called a trail hawk in USA with the 3.6 engine and that does about 11 litres to 100km the srt with the hemi is about the same as it has the new gearbox making it more economical. I'd wait if I was u a new model is due August this year which is a bit different. I wish I'd of waited now but I got the chance of a ltd edition model.

If you go to Frankston Mitsubishi's website they have a section where you can compare the fuel economy of any car, you select the brand, model and year and put it your mileage then you can compare several different cars and work out how much extra it will cost to run. I have found it very useful.

Thanks I compared it against the Mercedes S63AMG and the BMW X5 M Series

 

Really would prefer a sub 8 litres per 100km. These above all appear 11+

 

Looks a great looking SUV though.

Have you used it for any towing? Interested how the 6 cylinder compares with the 8 for this purpose. Do you know what the tow rating is like?

I would have liked a wrangler for a bit of off road fun but it costs nearly twice as much in fuel as my Holden combo van to run so maybe not yet.

Yep I tow my jetski with it , it's a 3 seater 3.2m long so like a small boat it's a bit juicy but to be honest it's such a nice car I don't worry about the fuel lol. You'll struggle to get any petrol gc under 11 per 100 why not go for an overland model with the diesel plenty of torque there.

If you want off road. There is only one option. Toyota.

Have a A8 through work and being a V8 still gets 7.7 per 100km. Hence the benchmark perhaps is set a little high for SUV?

Mine is a penstar 3.6l V6 and being a 4 speed auto is a little juicy especially when you put your foot down. But having said that it is a lovely drive very much like the range rover sport but its all opinions at the end of the day.
