Thread: Time for a new truck..

Cherokee's have really cheap insurance. I have no record, have PLPD insurance, and its $270 for 6 months...just as reference, hope this helps. Try to find one with 80-100,000 miles if you can. Like I said they can easily go way over 200k, so if you find one for 100k, youd be set for years.

Remember Im talking about the old square Cherokees not the GRAND Cherokee. Those can be trouble...

Was it the same model or was it like a Silverado 2wd and a Silverado 4x4 Z71?

Hey guys. I just did alot of shopping around for insurance. The company I was with said that the cheapest vehicle to have insured was a 2wd Ford Ranger. If it was 4wd the cost went up fifteen dollars a month. But the real kicker was if it had the half cab,(the one with the two seats mounted on the sides of the cab facing inwards, it was almost 75 dollars more a month) Insurance premiums are also very biased to where you live, as well. I live in a town of about 11,000 people, and when my girl friend changed her address from this town to a city, (300,000) her insurance went up 32 dollars a month. I'm sure it has to do with theft rates, population density etc. Hope this helps.
