I m sorry man, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the Jeep. That has everything to do with the incompetence of the people fixing the car. If you can have a shop in the US or Canada or Austria and you can get your Jeep and Toyota fixed without fail but in the DR only a Toyota can get fixed but a Jeep will get screwed. That is not the car's fault. That is the service team's fault for being useless. Apart from small differences these cars are very similar. I worked for a Toyota dealer in Fort Lauderdale and there was nothing on a 4Runner or Tacoma or Tundra/Sequoia that I couldnt see that they didnt copy from General Motors. And if you cant fix a Chevy you cant fix nothing. I suspect that anyone could screw up electrical work in the DR, but air conditioning and suspensions are pretty much the same across the board. There is nothing intricate with replacing water pumps and radiators. So as I see it is basically the thought process isnt too flexible and innovative allowing someone to fix more than a Toyota. Which leads me to conclude they are not good at fixing Toyotas either, only that they are familiar with the brand.
I never said the Jeep isn't of good quality - my family has one back in the States, all I pointed out is it isn't a good brand to have in the DR. I totally agree the mechanics and service teams are useless :bunny: IN THE DR so I wouldn't have a Jeep IN THE DR which is the the original question - What should I buy in the DR?
Some cars get overlooked here because they are not toyota. Suzuki for example, also made in Japan, holds up very well here. Also very popular, easy to gets parts, economical, cheaper to buy.
I paid an additional ~US$2000 when I received the license plate/marbete/matricua. Still an excellent deal compared to the US$40K+ asking price for available local units with higher mileage and less equipment.
