I drove (and did a ton of work on) a '77 Blazer when I was working here the first time for that reason. You always feel better surrounded by some steel.

The Wrangler mainatains it's value better than almost any vehicle on the road. They are ridiculously expensive to purchase, even used.

 

They do, and outside of like 2001-2008 they were very good cars.

 

The vehicle that holds its value the best is the Toyota Tacoma.

Yep, and it's killing me because I want to get a used Toyota truck. But I like the Tundras more anyway, and they don't hold their value quite as well.

It's because the stupid IS people are driving up the demand for Toyota trucks.

I read that Subaru is the manufacturer who's cars, on average, hold their value better than any other.

Yeah, they are really solid cars.  Very popular out here.

Being in a heavier car than the one which hits you is a significant advantage. Some are better than others and the JGC has a scary reputation because of the engineering.

 

 

The penalties come two months after NHTSA opened a review of 23 FCA recalls, all spurred by the automaker’s sluggish response to deadly Jeep fuel tank fires—of which FCA had refused NHTSA’s recall request in 2013—and a corresponding $150 million wrongful death payment ordered by a jury in April. Despite a lengthy NHTSA investigation calling out Chrysler’s questionable fuel tank placement behind the rear axle on 1993-2007 Jeeps, higher-than-average fatality rates, and a dubious fix—a trailer hitch mounted on the back bumper—the Jeep recalls did not warrant any fines.

 

“Fiat Chrysler’s pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers, and the driving public, at risk,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. “This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture.”
