Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016
Carsguide Senior Journalist Richard Berry had this to say at the time: A Jeep Cherokee is not the default SUV choice like a Mazda or Toyota is for Australians, and there are those weird quirks, but buyers will be rewarded by an SUV which not only looks unique but is enjoyable to drive with its V6 engine and comfortable ride. Plus there’s the good value this 75th Anniversary Edition brings.

Replacement options for a 2005 Pathfinder?
You haven't given us the weight of the caravan you want to tow, which goes a long way to determining the best car for you. We'll err on the side of caution and go for cars with a towing capacity of at least 2500 kg that fall within your budget. It's always best to go for the latest model you can afford, which means around 2103 in your case. I'm guessing you're over the Pathfinder given your experience with the holed piston in your current car, but the Nissan is an option for you. So too are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Mitsubishi Pajero, although the Pajero's rear suspension is prone to sagging when heavily loaded and I would rule that out on that basis. If you can stretch your budget a little you could consider the Landrover Discovery 4, which does everything you want well, but is the most expensive of this bunch. For me the pick of the bunch for me is the Toyota Prado, for performance, economy, and reliability. The only issue for you could be that the Prado's towing rating is 2500 kg, the lowest of the cars we mention here.
