After purchasing the 2500 Silverado for a tow vehicle/driver this weekend, Carol and I have been discussing thinning the herd a bit. We are going to sell the 1996 1500 Silverado, and either the 2001 Cherokee sport that I think most of you are familiar with, or our 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited.
The 2001 Cherokee has 118k miles, runs great, looks great, and is fun to drive. Gas mileage isn’t great, but with 31’s I can’t complain. It was built in the last month of production, is Solar Yellow, and I’m estimating I can get between 8-10k if I sell.
The 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited was my Mom’s. It has 90k easy mikes on it, a 4.7 V8, is white with a tan leather interior, and looks very much like an older person’s vehicle. Has good power and tows well but it isn’t a “fun” vehicle. It has the full-time 4WD. It does get decent gas mileage (18 Hwy) and is somewhat more comfortable than the Cherokee. But if I were to keep it, it would have to get a small lift, wheels, tires, a better stereo, -anything to make it look more “me”. If I were to get rid of it, my daughter wants it and would buy some nice wheels and tires for the new Silverado as a trade.
Logic would seem to favor the 1999 Grand, but after a lift and tires it would probably not maintain the good mileage or towing ability. My heart leans to the 2001 Cherokee, because it’s bad-a$$. So... let me know- opinions?
