I'm still not 100% though. The Renegade is too small for sure. Just pushed a new Cherokee out of a snow bank in my Crown Vic, so, not a lot of confidence in its AWD system there. Of course it had street tires and a very inexperienced driver...
Hey, feel free to call or text for more info but....
I daily drive a practically brand new (2014) one and I hate it. You're welcome to come try it out if you want.
Granted, mine is front wheel drive, but that only makes a difference in the snow.
The CVT transmission is terrible and the thing only gets mid 20's for MPG. The whole car is just....cheap and.....well.....a car. If you need a little 4x4 econobox, it'll prolly do the trick.
My mom drives a 2007 that is stick shift and 4x4 and was the top of the line trim package, it was pre-fiat so the interior is a bit different and it honestly feels a little bit better put together. The stick shift makes a huge difference, and she gets 30+ mpg on a regular basis. I would MAYBE consider one as such if i could get a deal and if i needed a little economy 4x4.
Theres a fellow over on expedition portal that has one and tried to lift it and it caused all sorts of problems. Also its know that lifting will really put way more stress on the CV joints and shafts.
Dont let me dissuade you, but I really really really dont care for the one i drive every day.
Well it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam that makes me the bitter fool I am But this four-wheel buggy is A-dollaring me to death.
For gas and oils and fluids and grease, And wires and tires and anti freeze....And them accessories, Well honey, that's something else.
