    We bought our Series III last November, 4th one to come into Washington State. We bought it for the ride which is awesome. Had to use the Off Road feature when the mortar range at Ft Lewis was activated and they closed the road out of the Skeet Range. Exited via the perimeter road which was pretty rough. Raised the suspension, dropped it into 4X4 and surprised the hell out of the road guard when I emerged out of the trees along the fence. As for the Parking Brake, you can go into settings and select Automatic Set whenever you put it in Park and it comes off when you put it in drive. It’s one of the few newer 4X4’s you can use as a Towed vehicle also. Has a 10k lbs towing capacity. As for the HUD, I’m 5’8” and 155lbs and 66yo so the seat fits me perfectly which means I don’t have to slouch to be comfortable. The heated steering wheel feels good on my hard worked hands as I drive down the road “looking like I just got my license and driving to my mom’s”, but hey, I don’t give a fu*# how I look, that’s the advantage of old age and success I guess. My Jeep Rubicon (that I traded in on the Wagoneer) days are behind me so now it’s all about comfort. All the amenities were pretty straight forward even for a Boomer like me. Nice review, I enjoyed it.

      @@DirtRoadTherapy One more thing. I programmed the suspension to lower when I shut the car off. This was to help my mom who is 86 years old to get in and out of the car easily when I go and take her out to lunch once a month. Plus it’s easier in the front seat edges when getting in and out of the car.

      There's always some risk as an early adopter of a first generation, and I think there were a lot of haters primed for this one, especially given the price point. So the negative reviews are scathing and the positive reviews are drown out. It always takes a multitude of positive to outweigh any negative. I'm sure you'll get many good years out of the vehicle and will enjoy the ownership experience.

      @@petegalindez9961 Wrong. My Silverado has an electronic ignition but still uses a traditional key. It also has remote start.
      The only difference between my truck and other vehicles with push-to-start is: on one, you push a button with your finger to make the starter crank; and on the other, you stick a key in a hole and turn to make the starter crank. But they’re both electronically triggered.
      There’s really no good practical reason to have push-to-start over the traditional way. It just creates new problems where there were none before. People just think it’s cool so they keep doing it.
      The only other argument one might raise is that you just keep your key in your pocket or purse at all times and that’s the main benefit. However, in real world use, there always ends up being some reason that forces you to take your key out from time to time anyway.

    Had a 1985 grand wagoneer , 91 cherokee , 05 liberty and a 2016 cherokee . Never had an issue with any of them exept a few minor recalls . The japs have a history of not letting the public know abour safety recalls . Still waiting 5 years later for my daughters acura air bag recall replacement . They still cant get them .
