POPULARITY
A three-row SUV that looks traditional can still feel shockingly upscale once you shut the door and settle in. We take you through Don Armstrong's drive of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, focusing on what actually matters when you're spending real money: design, comfort, tech, power delivery, ride quality, and where the value lands once the window sticker gets involved.We walk through the trim lineup, then zoom in on the Grand Cherokee L Summit 4x4 configuration with three rows and seating for six. The exterior earns praise for its clean, conservative Jeep look and familiar seven-slot grille, but we also talk honestly about why the design is starting to feel ready for a bigger modern update. Inside is where the Grand Cherokee makes its strongest argument, with standout materials, excellent fit and finish, and a cabin that feels legitimately premium. The one catch: the newer infotainment system isn't as intuitive as the previous version, and it can take time to get comfortable with it.Then we get into the numbers and the feel. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes a headline-grabbing 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic and a tow rating around 6,200 pounds. MPG is rated at 20 city and 25 highway, and we share a real-world 21.1 mpg result over more than 400 miles. We also call out the downside that surprised us most: turbo lag that shows up in certain situations. Finally, we explain why the air ride suspension is a must-have for a “smooth as glass” ride, break down pricing from roughly $40K to a $72,770 as-tested sticker, compare rivals like the Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Grand Highlander, and tease next week's review of the Land Rover Range Rover Hybrid.

**Jeep Talk Show: Grand Cherokee Airbag Recall, Self-Driving Jeeps, V8 Comeback Rumors & More!** In this episode, Tony and Josh dive into the latest Jeep news and rumors. We break down the massive new Grand Cherokee WL airbag recall (over 400,000 units), discuss the broader airbag industry issues, and talk about off-road implications and disabling airbags on the trail. We also explore Stellantis' self-driving ambitions with the STLA AutoDrive platform, compare it to Tesla Robotaxis and Waymo, and debate the future of autonomous off-roading in Jeeps. Plus, exciting rumors about the possible return of high-performance V8s — Hellcat, SRT, and Trackhawk models in the Grand Cherokee (and maybe even the Cherokee) — and why an inline-6 (Hurricane) in the Wrangler makes total sense. Josh teases his new "FUU" rant segment, and we wrap with plenty of Jeep talk, laughs, and real talk about what Jeepers actually want. **Topics:** - Grand Cherokee airbag recall & safety - Self-driving tech & off-road autonomy challenges - V8 revival rumors (Trackhawk, Hellcat, SRT) - Inline-6 Hurricane engine possibilities in Wrangler - Pay-to-play features & future of Jeep tech 00:00 Zoom Background Mishaps 01:02 Grand Cherokee Airbag Recall 07:25 Topic Shift and Wrap-up 07:46 Research on Self-Driving Jeeps 11:46 Off‑Road Autonomy Challenges 14:11 Stellantis AutoDrive Status 15:28 Cost of Advanced Features 16:22 Join the Jeep Discord 16:37 Pay‑To‑Play Feature Model 17:10 Tip Screen Meme 17:24 Pay‑To‑Play Services Discussion 18:35 Autonomous Travel Stress Relief 19:28 Self‑Driving Failure Stories 20:16 Driver Confusion with Autonomy 20:27 Waymo Issues and Powertrain Rumors 26:42 Show Outro and Teasers 34:08 Host Reflections and New Segment 35:40 Nicky G's Closing Banter Subscribe for more Jeep news, interviews, trail talk, and builds!

This week on America on the Road, hosts Jack Nerad and Chris Teague test the eye-catching 2026 Genesis G90 3.5T Prestige Black AWD and the award-winning 2026 Hyundai Palisade. In the news, they discuss Chevrolet's swansong as Major League Baseball's official automotive partner, Zoox expanding its driverless robotaxi service to new cities, and the latest IIHS Top Safety Pick awards that notably exclude a popular family vehicle type. Jack and Chris also dive into the report that the Sony-Honda Mobility project is halting the introduction of the Afeela EV right before it was due to launch.
In Podcast #372, Jessica Ray fills in as host to discuss some of the latest new vehicles that the MotorWeek crew has been testing. We start things off with Mazda and a first-drive in their best-selling model, the CX-5 crossover as it enters its 3rd-generation with some well executed updates. Then it's over to BMW and our recent track time in their entry-level track car, the M2 CS. Finally, it's over to Jeep where we drove both the all-new Cherokee and updated Grand Cherokee, which feature the future of the Jeep brand's powertrain options. Plus, a Lightning Round which considers the EPA's recent decision to rescind credits to automakers for utilizing auto stop/start technology.
Anfang März war ich im Stellantis Headquarter in Rüsselsheim und habe mit Luigi Saia, Brand Director Jeep Germany, über ein Jahr gesprochen, das für die Marke klar als Umbruch einzuordnen ist. 2025 war für Jeep in Deutschland kein klassisches Elektro-Jahr, sondern vor allem ein Übergangsjahr: Der alte Compass lief aus, die neue Generation kam verzögert – dazwischen entstand eine spürbare Lücke. Trotzdem gelang es, das Händlernetz zu stabilisieren und das Volumen um 16 Prozent zu steigern – bewusst ohne zusätzliche Vermietergeschäfte. Beim Thema Elektromobilität zeigt sich ein differenziertes Bild. Zwar hatten 71,7 Prozent der Neuzulassungen einen alternativen Antrieb, doch der reine Elektro-Anteil lag bei nur 3,8 Prozent. Das war kein Zufall, sondern eine bewusste Entscheidung. Jeep wollte BEV nicht „um jeden Preis“ in den Markt drücken, sondern wirtschaftlich sauber agieren. Der zentrale Hebel für 2026 ist der neue Jeep Compass auf STLA-Medium-Plattform. Er ist Volumenträger im wichtigen C-SUV-Segment und soll den Elektro-Anteil deutlich steigern. Jeep hält sich beim Antriebsmix flexibel – Mildhybrid, Plug-in-Hybrid oder rein elektrisch, je nach Nachfrage. Ziel für Deutschland: 15 bis 20 Prozent Elektro-Anteil, perspektivisch sogar bis zu 25 Prozent. Der Auftragseingang im Februar mit 25 Prozent rein elektrisch zeigt, dass Bewegung im Markt ist. Parallel wird das Portfolio in Europa neu sortiert. Wrangler und Grand Cherokee entfallen aufgrund regulatorischer Rahmenbedingungen. Mit dem rein elektrischen Wagoneer S und dem kommenden Recon will Jeep seine Offroad-DNA ins Elektrozeitalter übertragen. Produktionstechnisch wäre Melfi in der Lage, stark auf Elektro zu skalieren – entscheidend bleibt jedoch die europäische Nachfrage. Für 2026 steht damit ein klarer Plan: Marktanteil wieder auf 0,5 Prozent steigern und den Elektro-Anteil spürbar ausbauen. Jeep setzt nicht auf einen radikalen Schnitt, sondern auf einen kontrollierten Transformationskurs – flexibel, markentreu und mit klaren Zielmarken. Und damit steigen wir direkt in das Gespräch ein.
This week on America on the Road, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo joins Jack Nerad as they dive into Jack's first-drive impressions of the revived 2026 Jeep Cherokee and updated 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Matt reviews the 2026 Volvo EX30, a punchy subcompact EV SUV with Scandinavian flair, while Jack road-tests the premium 2026 Genesis GV60 Performance, a luxury compact EV with vivid acceleration matched with luxury features. Plus, Jack sits down with Mike Cockell, Product Lead for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee, to discuss its all-new hybrid powertrain, off-road capabilities, and new pricing.

The line forms where the growl echoes. We're set up beside Camp Jeep at the Houston Auto Show, and the first thing you notice is the 30-degree hill and the calm voice of a pro driver explaining exactly how a Wrangler keeps its cool. We brought the track manager, Nick Hoy, into the hot seat to decode the six-obstacle course, the Wrangler 392's idle climb, and why a single button for sway bar disconnect can be the difference between spinning and sticking.From there, we open the hood on modern off-road tech without the buzzwords. Nick walks us through the electronic lockers, Off-Road Plus, and the front-facing camera that turns a blind crest into a confident line. It's a clean progression from the old days of manual hubs and pliers in the mud to quick, precise controls on the dash. We talk Gladiator, poke at the Grand Cherokee's air suspension and skid plates, and admit that not every model is meant to crab-walk a rock garden. Still, capability shows up across the Jeep lineup, and the indoor course proves it in minutes.We shift gears into memory lane with Jeff's Car Culture: a countdown of the best-selling American vehicles of all time. The Model T's assembly-line revolution, the Chevrolet Impala's long reign, Silverado and Ram solidifying the truck era, and the F-Series towering over all—each nameplate marks a chapter in how America drives and works. The list is a conversation starter, and yes, the Oldsmobile Cutlass earns its spot.To turn inspiration into miles, we map five spring road trips that reward any capable car or SUV: the flowered overlooks of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Montana's Going-to-the-Sun Road drama, the quiet curves of the Natchez Trace, shoulder-season serenity on Pacific Coast Highway, and a burst of Texas bluebonnets along the Willow City Loop. These routes pair perfectly with a fresh set of tires, a full tank, and a curious mind.If you're at NRG Center, follow the signs to Camp Jeep for a guided ride, then swing through the indoor display to poke around the screens and seats—including the head-turning TRX. Listening from afar? Tap follow, share the show with a fellow gearhead, and leave a review with your pick: which Jeep would you take up that 30-degree hill?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The last few years have been a rollercoaster for wagon fans in the US and around the world - we've gained some and lost many more. But could the tides be changing? Tailgates opening to new beginnings? We dive into the origins of the station wagon to find out... === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Both fans of the station wagon, Jason and Derek discuss their personal origin stories with wagons. Jason's begins with a 1975 Chevrolet Impala Wagon that he grew up in the back of - which spurs a conversation around 1970s and 80s American station wagons from the GM clamshell tailgate, the Buick Estate Wagon and Roadmaster, to the rare Cadillac Castilian. Derek discusses growing up in the ‘90s (1890s, of course) - while his family cars were convertibles and sedans, the school run was enveloped in Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable wagons, Volvo 240 and 740, Mercedes 300TE and E320, E34 BMW 5 series, and Audi 5000 and 200 Avants. Exploring how many consider wagons to be uncool or frumpy, he explores the advent of new at the time SUV offerings starting in the same time period, like the Ford Explorer and Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. Jason and Derek then explore what has become of the wagon market and why- noting the recent departure of the Volvo V90 and V60. Many wagons have inflated greatly in cost, ending up under or over-contented due to lower demand and cost of federalization - a trend explored via the Acura TSX Wagon and Jaguar XF Sportbrake. The classification of wagons has also changed over the years, now grouping CUVs like the new Subaru Outback and Buick Envista that have no business being classified as a wagon. Favorite niche wagons are also discussed, like the Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion 6 Speed, the euro-only Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, and modified variants of BMW wagons like the E46 Touring with ZHP drivetrain. All this and more, on this week's episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Join Tony and April on the **Jeep Talk Show** flagship episode for a casual, fun catch-up chat after a three-week break! In this laid-back discussion, they dive into hot Jeep topics, share personal takes, and keep the laughs rolling. Key highlights include: - **Jeep's discontinuation of the 4xe plug-in hybrid models** (Wrangler and Grand Cherokee) for 2026 – why it doesn't bother April (old-school simplicity wins), range anxiety fears, charging challenges in rural areas, and how PHEVs sometimes traded capability for electrification quirks. - **Mud Terrain (MT) tires vs. lockers** – which upgrade to prioritize first? They agree: go tires first for better overall traction (rocks, mud, emergencies), then add lockers. April shares her approach of testing without lockers first to learn the Jeep's limits and reduce drivetrain stress. - **Ham radio vs. GMRS for emergency/off-road comms** – Tony questions if ham is phasing out with modern tech (satellites, internet), but April champions GMRS (easy, no test, family license, Midland's Jeep-friendly setups like the MXT series with integrated mics for tight dashes). Great for trails where cell service fails! - **Wrangler 392 pricing gripes** – recent price drops (like the 2026 Moab 392 coming in ~$20K cheaper), the thrill of that Hemi V8 roar, and why it's worth the premium (plus jealousy over friends' new ones). - **Off-road pet peeves** from the round table fireside chat crew: dropdown steps on rock sliders, loud concert-level speakers blasting music on trails, rear dual-exit exhausts getting mangled, oversized wheels, hitch sliders, and trail judgment. - Bonus: Tony plugs his new interview-focused show **Tony Muckleroy** (check it out on YouTube/Spotify for paranormal chats, preppers, and more wide-ranging topics). If you're a Jeep owner, off-roader, or just love the community vibe, this episode is full of relatable rants, practical advice, and good-natured banter. Hit play for trail stories, gear tips, and that classic Jeep passion!
Welcome to Episode 1407 of the **Jeep Talk Show**—we're now in our **16th year** delivering unfiltered Jeep talk, trail tips, mod advice, and real community vibes! In this episode, Tony dives into the **shocking news** that's rocking the Jeep world right now: **Stellantis has officially discontinued the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 4xe models** in North America starting with the 2026 model year. The Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe have vanished from Jeep's build configurator—no press release, no fanfare, just quietly pulled. We break down why this happened: ongoing recalls (battery fires, power issues, stop-sales), shifting demand with lower gas prices, the end of big EV incentives, and why simpler gas or mild-hybrid setups might make more sense for real off-roaders. Current 4xe owners—don't panic; get your recalls handled, and Jeep should keep supporting parts for years. Is this a smart pivot away from problematic tech, or a step back from "green"? We discuss the pros/cons and what it means for the future of electrified Jeeps. We also tackle the classic budget mod question: **Mud-Terrain (MT) tires first, or lockers?** Tires are the foundation—they touch the ground and give instant gains in mud, loose dirt, rocks, and looks (that aggressive stance!). Lockers shine in extreme rock crawling where wheels lift off, but on a budget, many Jeepers swear by starting with MTs for better "two-tire grip" across axles vs. four potentially spinning. We share real thoughts on why MTs often win for everyday wheeling, plus when lockers become essential. What's your pick? Drop it in the comments! Tony rants (again) about **Wrangler 392 pricing**—why are we still seeing these V8 beasts priced way too high (even after recent drops like the new Moab 392 specials coming in ~$20k cheaper than prior Rubicons)? With gas prices down and love for that Hemi torque/sound, Jeep could move way more units by making it more accessible—closer to a loaded 3.6 Rubicon premium. Come on, Jeep—keep the go-anywhere spirit alive without luxury pricing! Communications corner: Is **ham radio for emergency use** obsolete with GMRS, cell phones, and Starlink? We explore why ham still rules as a resilient backup (no grid/internet needed, global reach in disasters like hurricanes or EMP scenarios). GMRS is easier for trail chats, but build a layered plan—test your gear, know repeater backups, and stay ready. 73 to the hams out there! Bonus: Tony announces his **new interview show** (The Tony Muckleroy Show on YouTube & Spotify)—wide-ranging convos on anything interesting, starting with a personal one on paranormal experiences with his daughter. Check it out for ghosts, stories, or random deep dives! Thanks for watching/listening, Jeep family! Smash that **LIKE**, **SUBSCRIBE**, and hit the bell for more.

Jeep 4XE DISCONTINUÉ…Pourquoi !?TORQ - Épisode 512C'est OFFICIEL : Stellantis confirme la discontinuité des modèles Jeep 4xe (PHEV) en Amérique du Nord.
The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1239: Ford earns top honors as America's most iconic company, Stellantis drops every PHEV from its 2026 lineup, and McKinsey's CEO reminds us there are still a few things humans do better than AI. A day of big shifts, bold moves, and even bolder expectations.Show Notes with links: https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/ford-named-no-1-most-iconic-american-company-nationwide-survey-making-peoples-lives-betterFord just topped Time and Statista's list of the 250 most iconic American companies, beating household giants like Apple, Coca-Cola and Amazon. The ranking highlights not just commercial success, but each company's impact on U.S. culture and society.Time's nationwide survey put Ford at No. 1 for its cultural influence and long-standing role in shaping American life.Bill Ford pointed back to the company's founding mission, emphasizing innovation tied to improving people's lives—not just tech for tech's sake.Ford underscored its status as the largest hourly auto employer in the U.S., reinforcing its commitment to American workers.Time credited Ford's assembly-line legacy for transforming modern manufacturing and reshaping cities and suburbs.“Innovation is not just about building batteries or technology for its own sake; it is about making people's lives better,” said Bill Ford.https://www.jalopnik.com/2071397/stellantis-canceling-all-plug-in-hybrids-2026-model-year/Stellantis is pulling the plug—literally—on every PHEV in its North American lineup starting with the 2026 model year. Once top sellers like the Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee 4xe, and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV are being discontinued as the company shifts its electrification strategy.Stellantis says every brandwide PHEV program in North America will be phased out beginning in 2026.The automaker plans to pivot toward traditional hybrids and range-extended EVs, where it says customer demand is stronger.Models like the Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet R/T will also lose their plug-in variants.Stellantis says it will “focus on more competitive electrified solutions, including hybrid and range-extended vehicles where they best meet customer needs.”https://www.businessinsider.com/mckinsey-boss-shares-human-skills-ai-models-cant-do-2026-1As AI reshapes knowledge work, McKinsey's top executive says there are three capabilities machines still can't touch—and they're exactly what young professionals should double down on. The comments came as the firm shared how AI has already saved millions of employee work hours.McKinsey's 25,000 AI agents handled 1.5 million hours of search and synthesis last year and produced 2.5 million charts in six months.With routine tasks offloaded, consultants are now tackling higher-order, more complex problem-solving.CEO Bob Sternfels says graduates should focus on the three skills AI cannot replicate: aspiration, judgment, and true creativity.He also says AI will shift hiring away from pedigree and toward demonstrated work—like engineers' GitHub portfolios.“What can the models not do? Aspire… That's a uniquely human capability,” Sternfels said.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Jill and Tom open the show accepting the challenge of a listener. Tom was tasked to purchase more exciting donuts than the usual collection of double chocolates and powdered cinnamons. Listen in for this week's expanded options list. Tom shares some interesting Jeep news. The updated 2026 Grand Cherokee will be optionally powered by Stellantis' new Hurricane 4-cylinder engine. Though based on the existing 6-cylinder Hurricane engine, the new powerplant employs a “turbulent-jet injection” system featuring both port and direct fuel injection. Listen in to learn what that means. Still in the first segment, Tom talks a little about car sale in Russia, and Jill reviews the 2025 BMW X3. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Telemetry Vice President of Market Research Sam Abuelsamid to the show. Sam shares insights from the company's newly published Global Assisted and Automated Driving Forecast report. How ready is the industry for hands-free driving? Listen in. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Dateline 1990” quiz. Finally, Jill shares the newly-released North American Car of the Year (NACTOY) finalists list. Winners will be selected in January.
Toyota just redrew its playbook, and we're unpacking the boldest moves: Century stepping into bespoke ultra-luxury, Lexus getting room to grow, Daihatsu anchoring the entry tier, and GR leveling up from a badge to a performance brand with a rumored GRGT supercar. We break down how this five-brand architecture could reshape showrooms, challenge dealer agreements, and influence what you'll actually be able to buy next year.From there, we pivot to the realities of ownership with a rapid-fire recall rundown: Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe engines flagged for sand contamination and fire risk, a sweeping Lexus rearview camera fix, Kia spare tire mismatches, and BMW airbag inflator concerns. We share practical steps to navigate NHTSA notices, verify parts, and protect your safety and resale value without losing a weekend to service limbo.For a change of pace, we play our sold-cars price game and get schooled by a stunning 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible that crushed expectations, proving that the right spec list still makes collectors open their wallets. Then we hit the racing calendar, rewind through auto history—from Daimler's two-wheeler to the EV1—and explore two market signals: McLaren building a V8 hybrid SUV and EV prices climbing as incentives fade. It's a mix of strategy, safety, and pure car love, delivered with the same energy we bring to the garage on a Saturday morning.If you enjoy smart car talk without the fluff, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who loves a good spec sheet, and leave a quick review to help more enthusiasts find us.

Did Jeep accidentally build one of the best hot hatches of the last 40 years? It's is smaller than a Mk8 GTI and could be had with a bulletproof 4.0L inline-six and 5-speed transmission. Can it possibly give the quintessential VW hot-hatch a run for its money? We'll talk Jeep XJ Cherokee, its origins, and all 8 generations of GTI – from the 16v 2.0L, to the 8v 2-point-slow, the soulless 1.8T, the venerable VR6, and the electric e-Golf! === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Welcome to the hot hatch episode! We'll touch on some real oddballs in this one – like the Dodge Omni GLHS, Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Sprint, and Mitsubishi Mirage. Plus some allegedly fabulous but forbidden fruit: the Peugeot 205 GTi Rally and Renault Clio Williams. Then we'll dive into the Jeep XJ Cherokee which Jason just did a Revelations episode on. It began as the unibody successor to the giant and inefficient Jeep Wagoneer – a honking SUV with CJ Wrangler guts inside – which, incidentally, was a recipe being emulating across the globe as Toyota and Land Rover (to name a few) were also building more comfortable and luxurious SUVs using drivetrain bits from their more serious off-roaders like the BJ/FJ and Series II/III. The Cherokee followed the Range Rover away from the body-on-frame chassis and adopted unitary construction methods resulting in genuine handling prowess – even out-gripping a W201 Mercedes-Benz 190E. In fact, the chassis bones are so good you can find XJs competing amongst much sportier cars in 24 Hours of Lemons races across the country. Jason even deems the XJ one of his best back road drives ever. Sadly, early cars were excruciatingly slow thanks to an anemic Renault-built AMC engine. But that didn't stop Jason from getting one of his very first speeding tickets in one. The little XJ made a lasting impression on nearly everyone who had the pleasure of experiencing one – including Derek, whose experiences in his mom's are literally his earliest datable memories. The little Jeep was so popular that when the Grand Cherokee came along to replace it, so many people were still clamoring for the original Cherokee that Jeep decided they would just build both. After the Jeep, we jump into VW's perennial hatchback hit: the GTI. All 8 generations have their pros and cons: Jason proclaims the VR6 to be one of the best sounding engines ever produced, and the 1.8T the worst VW ever made. The MQB platform underpinning the latest cars is declared spectacular. The Mk4 is a chubby baby Audi/Mercedes. The Mk6 fixes a lot of the hamster-styling of the Mk5, but the Mk5 has the better steering, just beware understeer. The Mk7 is a delight, especially if you can find yourself a Rabbit or Sport edition in Great Falls Green or Cornflower Blue. But even with a fancy color scheme, the humble e-Golf makes the better city car. Of note: Derek finally goes large-barging with a crew made up of a 560SEC, F-Type SVR, F-Pace SVR, a pair of R129s (one dogleg), and A4 2.8 Avant 5-speed, with his Mk5 GTI track car as a palette cleanser. Lastly, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Leslie Nielsen are national treasures, and their comedy blockbusters from the 80s, 90s and 2000s are exquisite. But do they hold up as well today as a Jeep XJ?

Land Cruiser is one of Toyota's – and, arguably, the world's – most haloed marques. In this episode, Jason and Derek discuss its origins and history from its jeep origins, to its enormous family tree, all the way up to the brand new 250-series models, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX550. Jason and the Hagerty crew traveled to the rugged, mountainous outskirts of Salt Lake City (and the nearby Land Cruiser Heritage Museum) to film an ICONS episode on the illustrious off-roading Toyota. And in this episode, the carmudgeons dive into the origins of the Japanese jeep and its Attila-grade family tree of subsequent series: the 20-series Land Cruiser and then the, 40, 55, 60, 70, 80, 100, 200, 250, and 300, just to name a few! The FJs, BJs, the Iron Pig, heavy duties, station wagons, Prados, the Lexus-badged models like the LX600 and GX550 (Motor 1's SUV of the year!). We'll even cover the Land Cruiser's competition along the way: the Jeep Wrangler, Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Wagoneer; the Land Rover Defender, Range Rover, Velar, Discovery and Evoque; even the Ford Bronco and International Scout. In addition to the WWII Willys Jeep 4x4, we'll cover the origin of the “J” in BJ and FJ – an abbreviation for jeep, which itself many believe is a pseudo-acronym for GP or “general purpose,” but a fact-check says otherwise. Even the Land Cruiser name itself was a tweaked version of the Land Rover moniker to make Rando-kurūzā in Japan. Jason also reviews both of the new 250-series Prado trucks: the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser and 2024 Lexus GX550. We'll talk powertrain, styling, cargo and passenger capacity, comfort, handling, NVH, luxury, and more. Now let's get to it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's 1996, and the last Bronco rolls off the assembly line in Michigan. Ford is moving on to bigger, lusher SUVs. Jeep is already there with its Grand Cherokee. And as it continues to be hugely popular, Chrysler tinkers with a merger. It eventually combines with Germany's Daimler-Benz. The merger is a mess, and Jeep suffers under new management. Meanwhile, as the new millennium dawns, an underground group inside Ford quietly plots to bring back the Bronco. But just as it looks like the Bronco Underground may succeed it hits a major roadblock — a global, financial crisis that short-circuits both Ford and Chrysler.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's 1965 and as the Bronco bucks onto the market, the Jeep boosts its engine power in hopes of catching up. But by the 1970s, the Jeep's owner, the American Motor Company, has a new strategy: beat the Bronco by going bigger. AMC introduces the massive Jeep Cherokee, jump starting an arms race. Next, Bronco also goes big. Then, Jeep goes even bigger, and more luxurious, with the Grand Cherokee.As the 1990s arrive, the rugged Bronco is falling out of favor with consumers. But it spends one more wild moment in the spotlight when a white Bronco leads a low-speed police chase on live television. Its passenger is murder suspect O.J. Simpson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
