Correct and straight to the point! Let us know what you buy?hope to see you on the trails with youre Jeep? Or might see you mall crawling in youre rav? 😃Autotrader has an interesting article comparing the 2014 Cherokee to the RAV4. They focus on a few areas such as reliability and technology but curiously, exclude others like ride, interior comfort, not to mention offroad ability:wink:. Still an interesting comparison. You can read the whole thing at the link below, but here are some highlights (I do like the bolded part of their recommendations):
Reliability
Given its brand-new status, the Jeep Cherokee hasn't yet been given a predicted reliability rating by experts at J.D. Power. The RAV4, however, earned .... better-than-average reliability..... Jeep offers a slightly longer powertrain warranty: 5 years or 100,000 miles compared to the Toyota's 5 years or 60,000 miles. The Toyota, however, boasts one advantage that the Jeep can't offer: 2 years or 25,000 miles of free maintenance.
Fuel Economy
Drivers who prioritize fuel economy will prefer the RAV4, as it boasts slightly higher numbers than the Cherokee -- though the ratings are so close that we suspect most drivers will get about the same mileage with either crossover.
Safety
While both crossovers offer a long list of features .... the Cherokee includes even more, such as a forward-collision warning system with automatic braking and an advanced lane-departure warning system that will nudge the wheel if you start to drift out of your lane. As a result, we give the Cherokee a slight victory when it comes to safety.
Technology
...The Jeep also offers several high-tech gadgets that the Toyota just can't touch.....In the end, the Jeep is definitely the choice for shoppers interested in the latest technology.
AutoTrader's Advice
Deciding between the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and the 2014 Toyota RAV4 is surprisingly difficult; both crossovers offer a range of items that we appreciate, but we'll put it this way: If you want a simple, reliable crossover with ample cargo room and reasonable efficiency, the RAV4 is the way to go. Drivers interested in thinking outside the box -- and those who emphasize gadgets over dependability -- will want the Cherokee.

Correct and straight to the point! Let us know what you buy?hope to see you on the trails with youre Jeep? Or might see you mall crawling in youre rav? 😃
I still look at old post, and even comment on them. Weird I know but other jeepers like me still stumble into old ideas and apply them today, kind of like a reference.also it’s fun just to see what you said , things have changed in over 6 years, you are so very correct! Happy Jeeping 😃You do realize that the post you are referring to is over 6 years old don't you? Things have changed in the intervening years....

On road rav 4 off road Cherokee! I buy what fits my lifestyle and wants and needs, I don’t buy a vehicle because other people say you should buy this. I drove all four of the vehicles I own for three days each befor I bought them. Doing your homework befor you buy a vehicle but I prefer to simply test drive them. I have friends that bought vehicles just by what motor trend said, or did you see the reviews? I call those paper buyers,look what this paper said or what that paper said. I also don’t bother with vehicle awards. Do a little homework, drive it, done!Autotrader has an interesting article comparing the 2014 Cherokee to the RAV4.

It’s odd but our Jeep club meets once a month and two weeks ago we went over all or most of old posts, most we answered, even if it was from a long time ago, we even got answers we’ve been looking for in our own rigs.kind of fun seeing how far we’ve come, we even answered questions from the past simple because there are Jeepers out there just reading Jeep stuff, from smart guys like you!He hasn't posted for 3 years, hopefully he is still alive to answer you.
