All engines can become worn out over time. Nobody would by any mechanical device if they were afraid it may wear out at some point in the future. Just for kicks I even googled for common issues with the 2.4L Tigershark engine, and could not find any recurring issues.csuengr wrote:That four cylinder is going to really suck when it gets worn and starts loosing oil pressure.
Every vehicle is a compromise. Just a matter of finding the one that matches what you want or need the most.tgreese wrote:You guys have not helped my dilemma at all. Now I have to look at KLs too. I need a new daily driver, and the more I learn, the less I think my ideal car exists.
I absolutely love mine, but it's worth noting that I have the V-6 Trailhawk with every option except backup camera, remote start, and wiper heaters (it was a lease return with 30k on it, so we got it for $20k+ a honda Fit). My sister in law has a 4-banger Latitude and I don't like it at all. The switches and buttons are all different, it shimmies and shakes at idle and overall feels cheap and gutless. I'm not just talking off-roadability here, just basic drivability. I haven't checked out the "overland" trim package which I understand is nicer than the Trialhawk, but I can say the base trim levels only seem to share sheetmetal, not the same soul.tgreese wrote:You guys have not helped my dilemma at all.

Thanks, I've got all that. The main problem the salesman had was explaining Select Speed vs. Rock. I'd be interested in what changes with each mode.REDONE wrote:I'll take a detailed pic and explain it when my wife gets home with ours. The locker and Hill descent only work in 4lo. To select terrain, you twist the knob until the mode you want is lit up. Rock mode also only works in 4lo. Activating the locker disables Rock mode.
Every automaker has a ton of vehicles on Consumer Reports avoid list. Half of them for dumb reasons that have no real impact on reliability. To CR having an infotainment system that is a little slow drops the "reliability" score significantly. And every other list uses CR as their source.csuengr wrote:Just FYI, the KL is on every list of used vehicles to avoid.
Congrats! Love the color.tgreese wrote:KL TH owner now!
I've met you several times in real life and think you're an alright guy, but your negativity is getting tired. We get it, you think everything and everyone is garbage, you can stop repeating it over and over. Why don't you say one good thing about anything every once in a while. Mix it up a little.csuengr wrote:Just FYI, the KL is on every list of used vehicles to avoid.
