I WISH YOU WERE MY NEIGHBOR
After listening to Scotty for the last year I am so confused about cars that I think that I WILL JUST WALK.
buy a horse :)))))
@Captain Obvious Ha! I’ve been driving Grand Cherokees for 20 years
Exactly what I did
😂😂😂
Just get a Toyota
Me: What kind of SUV should I buy?
Scotty: A 1993 Toyota Celica
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ONLY TOYOTA IS WORTH BUYING. EVERYOTHER CAR IS TRASH.
@@rrich52806 Honda is just as reliable. I know because I have one(AN ACCORD) and have had it for 13 years trouble free. Just rountine maintenance. And Honda makes the best engines on the planet(NOT TO MENTION THE MOST. IT'S A FACT) So while I agree with you on Toyota, Honda is right there with it

Your awesome, just glad my Jeep Grand Cherokee is not on the list
178 thousand miles on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Replaced a passenger window switch, a vent in the dash and normal wear items . I love this vehicle👍🏼
Wow! So that makes you lucky in terms of reliability
That's luck. My '14 GC suuuuuuucks. Nothing but problems after the first 3 years. I will never buy a FCA product again.
Jeep is the most unreliable POS I have ever owned. Fiat Italian garbage!
Same here I ❤ my 2014 jeep grand Cherokee
2015 grand cherokee V8 owner here.. loving this car ... it's my daily and haven't had any issues for 7 years .. other than normal maintenance
Whenever my wife sees me watching these videos: what cars can’t we buy now?
thowdy meaning accountant or bureaucrat
AMEN lol
🤣🤣🤣
The 94 Celica is always safe.
A Toyota or Lexus
Imagine living down the street from scotty seeing him in his driveway looking like hes having a seizure
LMFAO
@levi blankenship 😂😂
LOL
If he wasn't moving his hands around wildly,... then I'd worry!!
I would hang around to See how much I can learn.
Got a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. Love it, nothing wrong with it in 6 years
Of course everyone has different experiences with cars
Just got me a 2012 grand cherokee, best car I've ever owned and it's the oldest I've ever owned
Got a 2008 Hyundai Accent. 180000 miles. Running strong. No problems. Built better in that time period. I’d think twice now. Companies fluctuate with their quality. Possibly, when China takes over, things will change.
@@queless is it a srt?
I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 😭😭
I mean, I did just get it as a hand me down for 100$ but it needs A LOT of work for sure, not complaining, it’s a good first car.
I've got so many jeeps in my family. Love them. Grand Cheerokees are great vehicles! Guess I'm dumb people.
Me too haha
I have a 2016 Fiat Jeep Cherokee, 97 Cherokee XJ, and a 99 Cherokee XJ Limited. Love them all.
How often do they repair it?
You are dumb. He said compass. The compass is crap. Not the Cherokee, not the grand Cherokee. The compass.
I'll still be buying jeeps until I die
1. Volva XC90
2. Jaguar F-pace 2019
3. BMW X1
4. JEEP Compass 2019
5. Dodge Journey 2019
6. Volkswagen Atlas 2019
7. Buick Enclave / Chevy Traverse
Thanks!
Gotta wonder where the Kias and Hyundais are on these lists. Are they so bad that they’re beneath his program?
Thanks!!
CrP cars
I bought a dodge journey but an 09 😂
The only cars that last forever:
His wife’s Lexus
Scotty’s 94’ Celica
lol He does like other cars though to be fair. Ford F-150 comes to mind.
I forgot to mention his Matrix
Lmao😂😂that's because he's under the hood every weekend
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♀️
And VW GOLF 2
After months of research for a new family vehicle, endless hours of UA-cam reviews....I've come to the conclusion that the right car for us is Scotty's Lexus.
lmao
haha i literally have the same year and model lexus as Scotty and I hit a pothole and the control arm broke, cost me 2k
@@highdesertbiker lmao

Bought a 2013 Jeep Laredo 2yrs ago because of the price. Only prob was false low tire pressure warning. I guess I'll stay stupid.
He’s mainly talking about the compass
The more I watch Scotty, my car shopping list gets shorter and shorter.
I'll probably end up not buying a car at all.😑😑😑
It’s worse when you just finished watching Dave Ramsey. Lmaoo basically don’t even buy any car
My used car list dwindled from like 4-5 options to Corolla or Civic over the course of maybe two months via Scotty. On the other hand, the Money Pit list more than quintupled in size in that same time from 2 options. Definitely saved myself a lot of time searching and headaches on a used car and a lot of "ooh that looks like a deal!" moments.
Just get a 1993 Celica.
Me too😳😞
Same here...😣😣😣
Land rover discovery yeah you discovered new ways to go the mechanic.
The Disco 2's looked cool. Would be cool to drop a LS1 and restomod one.

Scotty is great and love watching his videos …With all due respect to Mr. Scotty..
Please do not just listen to him and make your decisions.. at the end all you have to realize is “every vehicle is good if you take care of it ..”
I have a jeep compass with 200000kms on it and still runs great with no issues😊
If Scotty lost his arms, he would be a mute!

it would be fun to watch him make a video with handcuffs on
My mom has a 2019 Jeep renegade. She is on her third motor and a number of other issues that have been fixed under warranty. She is getting ready to sue FCA to get her money back.
If it has the same problem 3 times in 1 year, its a lemon. Take advantage of the Lemon Law
Alex Perry : start the “lemon law” process and return vehicle, get full refund back. There are time restraints and steps in order for it to be considered a lemon. Look at purchase documents. Good luck!
It is that bad...JESUS MOTHER OF GOD
Eesh...
If SUV, sell it and get a toyota highlander... or if she is the only one driving the thing, get a RAV4 or a Honda CRV.... a lot smaller and better gas mileage, at least a bit better.
My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting ready to turn 154,000 miles. Driven on mountain roads daily. Beyond basic maintenance, (oil changes, tires, brakes, etc.) I have yet to have a day’s trouble out of this vehicle. I fully expect to get 300,000 miles of it. I used to be a Honda/Toyota guy, but my Jeep has proven to me that there are still a few good vehicles coming out of Detroit.
I have a 05 grand Cherokee 259K miles it’s still going and I love it!!! Just replace parts as I need to.
My wife and girlfriend are endless money pits

I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, still going strong even though I offroad with it. Fun little machine on the road in sport mode too. Definitely in love with this and not planning on getting rid of it
How many miles ?
Glad to read this lol I’m looking at getting one

@@lirej2307 2016. All stock. I've been super impressed with it since she bought it new. We take it down to the beaches in Texas and never gets stuck even when the sand is really bad and everything else is stuck. It just walks right thru it.
Mid 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 diesel Laredo. 115,000 kms, still original brakes. Tyres changed at 70,000 kms. Drive belt at 80,000 kms. Oil and filters at 20k km intervals. 7.0 - 7.5l/100 at 110 kmh. 9 l/100 in city traffic. Service it myself. Absolutely Love it !

My wife has had 5 Jeeps over the last 20+ years and hasn’t had any problems with any of them. Jeep has been very good to us.
@@crabbycripple same. I had a 1996 jeep for a long time with no issues. I have a 2014 Overland Grand Cherokee and It's a beauty. I can't wait to buy the newest editions of the Grand Cherokees in a few more years.

We bought a Grand Cherokee in 2015 and it has been absolutely perfect. Aside from the stupid shift lever which was corrected in more recent years. This truck feels nimble yet supple. The 3.6 ltr V6 purrs like a kitten. Average 22 mpg mixed driving. I believe this suv is the best bang for the money available today. I've only owned Japanese cars since I started driving. I own a Honda S2000 and a Honda Accord. This SUV in my opinion ranks right up there in terms of reliability for us at least. Your mileage may vary ;-)
I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee as well plus a 1999 grand cherokee I bought in 2006 and they both run great and have never had problems - Love Jeeps, can't help it.
these are the comments I want to see while looking at a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited. Even my mechanic told me to stay away.... but my god i love the way they look.
@@01hondascott mine has 50k miles 2018 limited and haven't had any issues. The hemi has some issues but the 3.6 is pretty good
@@richl4489 thats exactly what i am looking at, the 3.6. i'll be stepping up from my 2010 escape which other than fender rust has actually been a good vehicle to me. I have been looking at a bunch of different things but I keep coming back to the Grand Cherokee, recently I was researching the Acura RDX But we get a lot of snow and I find it's more geared towards being a sports car than an suv, so I think I will pass on that. I buy my Vehicles and keep them until I am pretty much forced to buy another one so I am looking at something that will last a while.
I try to take these videos with a grain of salt. Reliability of vehicles can heavily depend on where they were built, I own a Peugeot 208 and it's been perfect for me.
Great on petrol and fairly nippy, had pretty much no issues since I bought it, but Peugeot is regularly slated on these videos as bad vehicles. Sometimes just depends on luck of the draw.
The Cherokee Sport with the six cylinder is a winner. I have a 2001 200k still running great
a new record! .... it took 2:34 till the 1st "endless money pit"
googoo gjoob *That “Endless Money Pit,” is a National Treasure!*
The laugh every time after he throws shade at a car gets me all the time. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When you turn the sound off you’d think he is conducting a symbolic orchestra. 😂😂😂😂
Again, every time I see the word ‘run’ I immediately hear that song in my head dun dundundundumdundundun duuuun dunnn dun…..run. 😅
Walked in my dads room today and heard him watching you on his phone and I was like ayyy I watch Scotty too! Pretty cool my dad who’s been working on cars and airplanes for American Airlines for over 20 years watches your vids to learn more!
Age Agile i think he watch is to laugh with Scotty
Rev up your jet engines!
He is watching for fun... you can’t learn anything reliable from Scotty... unless it is something common and obvious. Other than that, he is just imposing his opinion.
Thought this was going a different way 😅
Age agile
I think your dad is hsppily trolling scotty now using his incognito youtube account.
Hey, Scotty my wife is an ENDLESS MONEY PIT too.
I trade her up for a nice Ford F-150 xlt v8
Trade her in for the 23 year old babysitter
I suggest you return her to the manufacturer. Its only going to get worse. Speak with her manufacturer what are your options to return her. I am affraid the manufacturer may refuse to accept her back
How fast is the 0-60 time?
Check for recalls
I took your recommendation and bought me a 2000 for a Lexus RX300 I'm so happy you're out here making these videos I hope you're still doing it because it's helped me out a lot this is been one of the best cars I've ever gotten I'm from BMW the Ford Escape Mitsubishi 2 Nissan do the Suzuki this one has been the best
Hey Scott, your videos have been quite spot on. My water fluid reservoir or pump is leaking and so water won't spray out. I have a 2005 hyundau tucson. Please make a video showing how to replace this on a 2005 hyundai tucson.
So if we tied up Scotty’s hands would he still be able to talk? 🤣😂🤣
Not a chance
Let's test that theory.

Has anyone else muted the sound and realized how hypnotizing scotty's gestures are??? Like a real choir master..
Bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V8 in 2000, made 262K miles on it. Fixing some issues here and there but can’t imagine a more comfortable car for myself. We drove it on a sandy beach in NC last year and we made it! And yes, my Jeep is 22 years old and has 262K miles on and I love it! 🎉
I'm original owner of a 2008 5.7 Hemi Jeep Commander Overland with a 2 inch lift, 250k miles and it's still running strong and looks great. I also had a 4.7 8 cylinder GC I put 80k miles on with almost no repairs. Jeep has been good to me.
I had a '96 Grand Cherokee inline six for 15 years, I put 235k on it, I LOVED driving it sooo much I put another $25,000 in parts and repairs to keep it running. But I did love that money pit gas gussler.
Scotty's general process for buyers: If it 's a premium car it's an endless money pit so you should buy a Toyota. 🤗
The marketing departments love people like you!
I mean he likes Lexus, but that’s also just a Toyota mechanically
He ain’t wrong …
You think Scotty has a secret stash of car magazines that he looks through when he's alone...
Haha! That's not very nice to say about Scotty 🤣😂
Just got my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee on 11/27/2021. I know it's still early but, I love it and the people I know who have older models say, they run great. I think it's up to the person to take care of they vehicles. Because watching all his videos about cars, will keep you on the bus while he's driving🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank God my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee was spared from this list. 😂😂😂
300K on the 4.0. It has a bit of a lifter tap, but runs well. It's a '96 GC
@@Apollyon67 mine is also the 4.0 and currently right about at 218,000 miles. Mine has a little lifter tick as well, but it goes away when it warms up. These 4.0’s are tanks. Not very powerful by today’s standards, but man what a tough resilient motor!
1998 Grand Cherokee 4.0. I’ve owned it 9 years. Aside from transmission issues (2 rebuilds), it’s been reliable.
@@tehbrutenextdoor so, 2 transmission rebuilds in 9 yrs is "reliable" in your eyes?
Scotty cracks me up with his very idiosyncratic style and his hands gestures all over the place. Great, honest and humorous vehicle reviews.
"If you can make something cheaper somewhere else - it doesn't mean that this is a good idea!"
This is gold! Bullseye 🎯
I have two Jeeps and a third Jeep that had 580 miles on it and I’ve been with Chrysler in the mini van plant and we follow the same principle and production practices as Toyota and when fiat came in the picture it has changed nothing in the plant , we use the same parts supplyers as Toyota, like our starters, Alternators and wiring harness, and more
Came for the laughing animal pop ups. Left satisfied! 😂
Basically what I'm learning from this channel is never to buy BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and the like.
buy a Toyota Celica '94...lol
I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee hemi with almost 160k miles. It has a lift. I work it like crazy towing and offroading. Only thing I've replaced is the starter. Love it, wouldn't trade it for anything.
Only recently found your channel and have been learning a lot. Been quite disappointed that you had never named my vehicle, which is utter crap and how I found you. So happy to see it named here. Any doubt I started feeling is now gone!
If I could figure out a way to hook up scotty's hands to my motor it would run longer than a Toyota.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like watching Joe Cocker in Concert.
This channel kills me🤣. Oh Ol’ Scotty, you’re simply amazing.
I have a 2018 F- Pace. I have had it for three years and I have spent zero on it. You also show a picture of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have owned 4 of them with zero issues.
He said compass is trash not Cherokee
Got a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven like I stole it no issues, Scotty got it wrong here gonna be upgrading to a 2018-2019 now
I was sweating bullets my SUV would be on this list 😅
🤣
Not my Forester??
Was it...
Nope
Hi Scotty, my husband has a 2010 Toyota RAV4 with 178k miles on it. Every time he drives it, it runs perfectly and hasn’t really needed any work. We are the original owners and he does all the maintenance himself. What’s wrong with this vehicle? Can you help me figure out why there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it after all this time??
Because it's a Toyota
@Laura in the Kitchen I’m so surprised to see you on Scotty’s channel! I’m subscribed to your channel 😆
Hilarious lady😆
OMG Laura I love your channel and am subscribed 🤣🤣 I have a Camry and would like to get a decent used Rav4 for a reasonable price. Hint hint 🤣🤣
Freeway miles dont hurt the car especially on time maintenance
Had a new 4x4 Compass for 5 years, did absolutely nothing but oil changes. yes it was VERY cheaply made but also extremely simple and nothing high tech to break or give problems. thing literally cost me next to nothing then traded it in during the pandemic for exactly what I bought it for. It did me well
agree same experience
I have a 2011 compass 3 years now,,no problems that would be important,,,,it depends on the owner i guess
correct has nothing to do where is built it depends of regular maintenance.
I had a 2000 Jeep GC v8 that lasted for over 20 yrs. It was rust that killed it. In all those year, I had an a/c problem once, the front seat needed to be re-bolted in and I blew the calipurs (sp?). I now have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee v6 and I love it. No problems so far.
For him the worsts are all that is not a Toyota lol
toyota is GARBAGE
I mean its true they make the best ones out there
@@kxngearner698 Toyota has the most reliable well built cars 😂. Sorry you're a fanboy and can't see reality
@@Phaminator525 I was a big Toyota fan when it came to 4WD's. In recent times they cant keep gearboxes in them. The engines seem still rock solid. It is a shame and a fact.

Also Scotty: Toyota are the greatest cars!
With cars, you can have:
1. Fast 2. Reliable 3. Cheap 4. Luxurious
Pick 2. Note* Scotty (wisely?) picks 2 and 3 only.
Mike Cronis Porsche are 1, 2 and 4. Most American cars are neither
2 and 3 is what the American market picked. Look at the sales figure you’ll see.
@@thomasgrabkowski8283 You obviously never had to repair one.
Lexus hits all those marks. 👏🏻👏🏻
The grandfather it’s in love with Uglys, dated and basics cars like a Toyota.
For what it's worth - my opinion is .... the WK is very practical, it's my trusty XJ replacement, and I've had 3 of those in the past. 16 years later my WK is my longest ever owned vehicle I've driven on a daily basis. With minimal drama or failures, it has never let me down, or left me stranded or even needed a tow truck (yet). All potential repairs are preceded by a subtle noise/clunk warning or an OBD2 code, so you at least can get it fixed before the event occurs. Nothing like preventative maintenance.
With Scotty flailing he's arms around like he does, he could easily be mistaken for a conductor for an orchestra
Hey Scotty! I'm brazilian and I'd like to talk a little bit about the Jeeps made onver here, in Brazil: they are a piece of junk not because they are made in Brazil, but because the company (Fiat Chrysler) only makes pieces of junk! See, the first Honda Civic's that were made in Brazil, a few years back, were the second in built quality in the world, "loosing" only for the ones made in Japan. Love your videos. Thanks for all the tips!
Daniel Franke nah Brazilian factories are trash heaps and the mechanics and workers are known to be poorly trained. If them keeps were made in America he’ll even Asia I reckon they’d be much better vehicles
@@cerrtz5167 And the award for most ignorant person in a comment section goes to you. 😁 You realize a team can only be as good as it's worst team member, so if Fiat came to Brazil with zero investment in personnel and only to cut costs, their product is showing it. It's not the Brazilians, Chinese, Mexican etc, it's the manufacturer who cuts corners for pennies.
Nooooo I don’t want to Fix It Again Today😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not that Brazilian people can’t make good cars. The issue is greedy car companies that move their factories to other countries that have lower labor standards and as with most things you get what you pay for. They pay these workers very low wages and get very low quality in return.
L B 👍🏻👍🏻but I still don’t want to Fix It Again Toooodaaaay😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've got the cherokee and grand cherokee by jeep both 2017 , they are sweet machines
The way Scotty waves his arms I believe he loves going to car lots and stand next to the air man balloon
I love your common sense videos & happy new year hope 2022 brings more videos.
Just dont buy a car and everything gonna be fine
“It’s already started to turn into a pit! And will continue to be a bigger pit the longer you own it!”
Funniest thing I’ve ever heard!.... funny but true!
"unbelievable piles of junk".

I'm pretty sure most people aren't watching his videos because they think he's an expert. He's definitely entertaining if you don't take him too seriously 😁
My 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee just hit 175K. She still runs like a champ! Cheap parts to replace labor cost is alright and hope to make it to 400K!
Good luck
My 2016 GC summit in 16 months own ownership with less than 30k on the clock has needed a headlight due to one LED in DRL turning blue. Cant buy it in own so new headlight required. (nearly $3000 here in UK for one, actual £2500 fitted) and a wing mirror due to another LED failing on the indicator (nearly $2000 in UK fitted, actual £1400). I love the car but when the warranty expires it is going. When I asked jeep why parts are so expensive they said it was a luxury brand...my ar$e it is, good car but I wouldn't say a luxury marque personally. My next car will be a range rover, I know it will break but parts are substantially easier to get in UK and therefore cheaper.
Good luck
And it will..
2006 JGC Laredo here. Do you get a transmission overheat message when the outside temperature is over 76°F? Even if you just cranked it?
Totally agree with you on the Jeep vehicles. I bought a 2007 Jeep Commander (bigger version of the Compass) and it kept randomly cutting off at stops. While under warranty the dealership couldn't figure out the issue therefore never repairing it. I traded that death trap in!
Problem is Scott's talking about newish jeeps after I believe 2014 when fiat took over
Just took our 2019 Jeep grand cherokee limited offloading to the valley of fire and Logandale Trails. Went rock crawling and drove it through the sand. Still running and havnt had a thing wrong with since we got it. Been up mountains and down in riverbeds.
The bell at the end always gets me 🤣🤣🤣
It's no surprise the quality is going down. These companies have been screwing over and replacing their aging skilled workers with younger workers without experience for a decade now. They pay them far less and the it will take them decades to bring the experience levels back up.
Not just that, but all the plastics are cheap chinese crap, metal is thinner etc etc. Just look at ant 3 year old car with yellow headlights. Surely they have mastered the uv stability of plastic by now. They are built to look nice during the warranty, then splat! Even toyotas are the same.
No. They have always been trash.
If it dont come up on the scanner your car is fine in there eyes. They dont know how to trouble shoot anymore.
I like playing these videos 2x speed scotty looks like he's on a rush lol
How you do that

Will have to try this Scotty 2X idea…
Only owned one Toyota and it was a 2001 Toyota Camry with the sludge motor in it. Motor started making noise like 8 months after I bought it. Shop said it was a timing belt spent 1300 on a timing belt and motor still made noise. Found online they had sludge motors and your lucky if you get 85,000 out of it. I had 80,000 miles. Traded it in lost my shirt. I will never buy another Toyota even though I know Scotty loves them, I’ll stick with my Jeeps. At least they are easy to work on and none of mine have stupid timing belts.
“I don’t know what to do with my hands.”
just bought a 2016 rav4 with 8k miles for 17k. wish me luck!!!
Jonathan Losito idc much for looks buddy. The 2016 is tested, tried, and true. The newest rav4’s haven’t been around long enough to work out the kinks and issues. Even Scotty says never buy a new generation ANYTHING. Give it a couple years to work out the kinks.
Poor small overlap crash test rating. Be careful.
U did good. Best of luck-should last another 300,000 miles if treated right. Very highly rated on dependability!! How's it goin a yr later??
I love my Jeep GC, its got balls. The Sheila's love it too
I bought a brand new Chevy Traverse back in 2012. I have over 160 k's on it and so far no issues. It's never been been to a shop except to install new tires.
Lift Kit Recommendation - I have a 2004 Jeep WJ 4.7 V8 Quadra-Trac II with 255,000 miles and I want to lift it for exploring Arizona mining camps and wilderness trails, but I also use my Jeep for towing a car trailer and want to preserve my 6,500 lbs towing capacity and I will likely be adding steel bumpers front (with 10k lbs winch) and rear (tire hanger). I don't want to go taller than a 4" lift and would like your recommendations. I will be posting my installation and my adventures on UA-cam.
I was so happy to see this video today... I recently bought a 2010 Highlander 4wd and you confirmed 3 times in this video I made the right choice.
He waves his hands around like Jack Sparrow I love it
Guess its de tools dat hi used lol
Definitely Johnny depp vibes
Now everything makes sense from where Depp got his inspiration to perform Captain Jack Sparrow :)
He's not wrong about the Jeep Compass. My daughter bought a 2012 against my advice, and it's left her stranded 3 times. I've had to work on it and repair it more than any vehicle I've ever owned. My Toyota Highlander on the other hand, requires very little maintenance, and has made me a big fan of Toyota/Lexus.
Real Jeeps KNOW the compass ain't a Jeep.
It a fiat.
That right there IS the problem.
😉👍
Agree on all of them, but the Volvo. Have a 2017 T6, European made (Sweden) and it’s a dream.
Love my Volvo, l like that my family is in one of the safest cars ever built.
Y’all noticed Scotty always working on his car 😂 the background
He has his own little money pit
Mate! Love your videos, can you do a video on the SUVs you would recommend?
I listen to alot of Scotties advice but I think I'll skip the ones where it sounds like a trip to Burbounville were taken and a few too many were enjoyed. Having said that, my Jeep Cherokee basically cannot die. However to replace a Cranckshaft position sensor on that thing was a miracle in itself. When I had to do that, it was the first time I realized that if we ever get to see a real life person genuinely classified as an @sshole, it would be the person who designed that engine.
My dad has an old Lexus like that! He loves it. I can’t believe the luxury features on it from back then!
Scotty , Your arm movements are brilliant , they tell the story so well
Is UA-cam an endless money pit when it breaks down?
Yea
Brian Healey You know it :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
_when_ it breaks down?
Sober up for your next video Scotty. Love my Jeeps!
Are you making an SUV video or leading an orchestra?
My 2018 Jeep Compass is used as a work vehicle for my Contracting Company. It has roof racks and a tow hitch. It is a 4wd Latitude with 53,000 miles and has been great.
"Things used in this video:
1. Common Sense"
LOL!!! That's awesome!
I traded in my traverse for my impala. I was just looking to save a bit on gas, I loved my traverse. Mine was all wheel drive and I can tell you it was a great vehicle. I’d say it was the best vehicle I’ve driven in the snow out of all the 4wheel drive vehicles I’ve owned. That traverse was a beast in the snow.
Years ago I had a Jeep that broke down monthly, but worse than that, it used to light the dry fall season grass on fire when I parked off-road. I really hope, but am doubtful, that American car companies will put less money into advertising and more into quality vehicle components. You rock Scotty for exposing D-bag car companies. It would be nice to see mid sized engines & mid sized trucks of quality. Majority of folks do not need a 300 hp plus truck or car that guzzles fuel and eats up aftermarket parts like Scooby snacks at only 150K on the odometer.
What kind of jeep?
Been using my jeep for 7 years now .. no complaints at all and loving it .. the 5.7 Hemi provides enough power and it gets fine on and off road...
If you're a serious off roader then maybe a lift kit and upgraded shocks .. other than that , I really love this car
