It is the one in the picture.
I looked at the Jeep but the seating position was terrible. Plus the current version is long overdue for a change. Much like the Territory.

On the other side of the coin mumma......we couldn't be happier with our Jeep and wouldn't have anything else!
I'm sure any make of car on the planet will have it's critics. It comes down to personal choice/requirements and to lump all cars of one make/model in one basket is a little naive.

I have owned Chrysler products before. A Grand Voyager Limited. It was a good car that didn't fall apart.
The Jeeps seating position just didn't suit me. I also didn't like the way it drove but that could also come down to the seat issue.
It looked well made and the TDV6 in the Jeep is better than the 3.0l offerings in the Toyota range.

Then when you sell it 2 years old you loose over $30,000.00 on the trade in price as nobody wants it. Or try and get parts or service out west. Not a problem with the tojo. My son is an insurance rep there has been a lot burn to the ground this year.

We are looking forward to the first trip in July. Some time ago I did an engineering report on a Disco 3 where the load sharing towbar had snapped off the chassis, losing the van in the process. A long story but.....does the Disco 4 have a load sharing towbar available as a factory fitted option?

Good luck with your discovery.
Hank When we were looking for our tug we rang RAC and asked about makes etc. We were advised to stay away from the Jeep, they said too many problems....looks like this applied to you Hank.
