Answered by Graham Smith · 07 Jun 2019

If you want to have the problems attended to at no cost you need to negotiate with Jeep in the hope they will come to the party with a good will gesture. If that doesn’t result in an outcome satisfactory to you try enlisting the help of your state consumer affairs people.

 

It could be from any of those, it could also be the tyres if they’re aggressive off-road tyres. Your best course of action is to have a mechanic ride with you to observe first hand the noise that concerns you.

What's the best car for towing a van?
Answered by Graham Smith · 28 Jun 2019

The Jeeps are perfectly capable of doing the trip you are planning, and if anything did go wrong while you were away there are dealers all around the country who cold fix it for you. At 2000 kg your caravan is not particularly heavy and shouldn’t stress the Jeep at all. The Prado is the other obvious choice, and it too will do the job with ease. Others to look at are the Kia Sorento and Isuzu MU-X.
