I'm looking at a few that are within my budget and just want to know overall if you're happy. My alternative's right now are the 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee eco diesel or some other SUV. What's your opinions?
I’m enjoying mine. About 2,000 of my 3,500 miles are towing cars and it’s great for that. Only annoyances have been electronic gremlins; hope they’ll be sorted over the next few months.
Drove it it all day today and smiled every time I came up to it.
Awesome! Thank you! Have you looked at tuning it? I had a 14 JGC overland with the ecodiesel and the GDE tune was worth every penny. Got rid of turbo lag and actually made it more reliable.
Im basically in the market due to lemon law so my 2017 GMC Sierra SLT is being handed over. Im looking at the low mile used ones and see a few ‘17 CPO that I think I’m going to try for. It’s about a $5k difference for the diesel so still tossing that around.
I did want to ask what servicing it is like. What’s an oil change run you and is it going in for other checkups often?
I haven't yet hit my first service, though I've had to add DEF a couple of times. The trick there is to buy it in bulk at Walmart and fill it yourself. The dealer will charge you $40 for a couple of quarts when a 5 gallon container runs about $17.
As for tuning...well mine is a lease (though I may purchase at the end). However, I haven't been disappointed with the power. Yes, there's a bit of turbo lag, but when it kicks in it'll really move.
Buy the Diesel - I did! Combined 26 MPG with over 3000 miles on the clock. Regular highway commute in excess of 30 MPG. Outstanding vehicle and same drivetrain as the Range Rover - check the YouTube Range Rover road test pulling a trailer up to Eisenhower tunnel in Colorado and you will be sold. Buy it smart though - Might be better (more economical) to get a new 2018 Diesel SE custom to order and pick the options you really want, especially if buying and keeping for the long haul. Best of luck.
I’m jealous but right now I’m still relatively young and cost focused. Found a dealer I couldn’t resist so I’m getting the gas model. Really wish it was a diesel. I miss it, but I don’t need it to be honest
Are you happy with your disco?
