New DD: Jeep SRT-8

I bought a 2007 Jeep SRT-8 (with 2600 miles on it)

Blue/gray (I dont know the color)
Every option: htd seats/rear dvd/nav/rear back-up camera

It drives with sort of a sporty, heavy yet nimble for what it is SUV
with GOBS of Torque!

Good Brakes, ride is taught but rougher than it should be.

Good DD (all-wheel drive in MN is a must for a "Hockey Dad"),
with good grunt and fairly stealthy: Hey it's just a JEEP!

Congrats Marty. May I be the first to call BS on the "staying stock" in your signature line. I give you 6 months... tops!

i purchased one of the first 06 str8 jeeps as a DD. i still own it. they are a blast to drive. it will eat a transfer case every 30k miles though. i have a billy boat exhaust, cold air intake and a chip. they are MUST HAVE items !!!

enjoy your new purchase !

very nice! srt-8 is one of my all time favorite SUVs. Shouldve gotten a 08 since they acutally had black interior though! Enjoy it in good health. did the sale of the TT go through?

Nice Marty! If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? I am looking for a DD as well and thinking about the Jeep. You can PM me if you'd like.

I had one of these as a dd. Other than the awesome interior and the gas mileage, everything else sucked. j/k

very fun truck and surprisingly fast. you should look into the srt experience. I did it last year free of cost.

Nice car. Curious as to current mkt. on those things. I almost bought one 6 months ago but picked up a Lexus GX instead... Nice car but not quite as "fun" as that Jeep would be... Good find on a '07 with almost no miles!!!

You'll enjoy her I'm sure...

very nice dd....I have always liked these. One question for anyone familiar with these....is there any way to retrofit a trailer hitch to one of these due to the exhaust?

SRT-8 Daily Driver...HA !

Yes,

$32K (give or take $1K because I had a Cayenne S trade in)

trailer hitches are old news and can pull 3500 lbs.

A "Cars and Coffee" buddy has one on his

It must stay stock, I signed a pack...My skirt blew up and I couldnt recover.
I will even keep the boring plates that the state gives me.
The truck pulls really strong 0-80 mph, it is surprising how "torquey" it feels.
The gas milage seems along the lines of a Continental GT or maybe a 1 ton dually,
it is really bad (I plan on checking it next time just our of curiosity). Intead of buying
54's of Sunoco, Atomic Z and I may try to buy a tanker...
