1) They haven't used a Mitsu-based engine since 2000, with the last of the old 3.0L. The 3.3L and 3.8L have always been Chrysler engines through and through.
 
2) Good point about the AWD, though that was actual due to the MIDDLE row fold away seats. If they just did the 3rd row, AWD could have stayed like the Toyota, but with the middle row floor pan dropped for those seats to fold under--no room for the driveshaft anymore, or the other components. A tradeoff, yes, but it was such a slim market, more people would go for the seat choice anyway.
 
That said, the Aspen still serves a specific purpose--tougher and more powerful, and suited for things like towing, and the T&C more for general family and stuff hauling, with better economy and more usable room.

I have had 2 jeep grand cherokees already. (96 & 2001)
Never had a problem with either. My parents have had a 2000 and a 2004. Never a problem. My sister had a 2001 and now 2006 liberty. Never a problem. I now have a an 04 Nissan armada with loads of problems. Guess where I am headed. Back to the Chrysler / Jeep dealer to look at the Aspen and Commander.

Tried every car in the last 4 weeks. I agree with all the comments above... BUT this vehicle has the best front seat for the driver that I have been in...especially for a over 6'... it's too bad they can't put the seating system in another suv or car! Toyota & Nissan & BMW (Yes I owned a 530)and Lexus all need to copy it!

Thanks for your comments...I realize that many of the posters here (sometimes including me) just post to complain, so I see a lot of Jeep complaints...but, when my brother was looking at a Jeep a few years ago, as he drove past the service department, the bays were overflowing with Jeeps on the racks...does this prove anything???...no, not really, but when he looked into the Hyundai service dept, he hardly saw any cars at all, bought a Hyundai, and has never had a single problem with it in 50K miles...does THAT prove anything???...no, but his experience did seem to correlate with the Jeep complaints as stated here...even tho THAT does not prove anything, I still thought it was worthwhile for me to ask the question...

Does anyone know how I can optain a Chrysler EC or FPP discount number? I want to lease a new Chrysler Apsen and this would help greatly. I have the GMID for the GM cars, but would prefer to lease the Apsen instead. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly

What is EC and EPP? I would get the Durango instead of the Aspen. I just purchased a 2007 Durango Limited AWD and it looks so much better on the outside.

EC is the employee discount and FFP is the discount for Friends and Famliy.
 You may like the look of the durango better, but I like the look of the aspen much more. To me I see more class. The durango is beefy. I am looking for class not beefy. Everyone has their own opinions and mine is that I love the look of the new Aspen.

I forgot to add, did you test drive both the durango and the aspen? I did and saw a huge diffence between the two in how they drive. The durango drove more like a truck, and the aspen drove like my husband's 300C.

We need your help! by tidester HOST

Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.
 
To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.
 
You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.
 
To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!
 
Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hello
 
I ordered my Durango in August and it came in late September. The reason for ordering is because I could not find one that had both electronic stability control and side curtain air bags and was not white. The cost is lower in 07.
 
I could not have driven the Aspen. I find the ride to be good and I have no complaints about the vehicle.
 
Good luck with your Aspen.
 
Andrew
