Just looking at that twit told me everything I need to know. But because I’m a glutton for punishment I went nd tried to read the article. Couldn’t finish as it’s obviously just click bait with a lot of prevaricating and posturing but no actual story other than some twit that bought a Jeep she didn’t like so they all suck and people that own them are either stoopit or lying if they say they enjoy them.
100%...
Imagine how her boyfriend/husband feels... goes to show, looks aren't everything.

Harleys suck too. They are loud. They get handlebar shakes. They are money pits.
yup, but I still want sportster 1200 with the loudest pipe imaginable.

I agree with her: all the Jeeps I've owned drive like shopping carts. :LOL: Mine's bad on gas, is slow as sin, and likes to wobble (not DW). But that said, it's a monster offroad, it's reliable, it tows my camper, has a great sound system for a factory setup, the kids like it, and it's great to look at.

If you aren't wheeling a Jeep... be honest... it's a shit vehicle by many metrics. But if you use it for what it's real aim is, it all comes out in the wash.

One thing I found when people hate on jeeps is, They never owned or drove a truck older then a 2000 model. Many are coming from Honda civics, Corollas, CRV etc and wanted a cool "Jeep".

With no experience with how a short Wheelbase solid front axle vehicle would feel/ride like, they immediately think it's horrible.

Reliability wise, same thing, the Jeep is as reliable as any other vehicle. But due to some of it's features it requires more maintenance and monitoring. It's not a set it and forget it vehicle like a civic.

Modern compacts and small SUVs can ride just fine with blown out bushings and shocks. Majority of people wouldn't notice until it makes horrible noises or a catastrophic failure. Whereas a jeep will happily let you know it's worn out.

As for the tik tok crap, she gets views hating on Jeep due to the Jeep community watching and sharing her videos. Negativity directed at a million person strong community equals views.

She’s after views. Her views pay for her jeep. So yeah.
I bought a jeep because I have wanted one a long time .
will I hit a trail? Eventually
Does it get good mpg? It’s a jeep lol
One of the biggest factors was this:
It doesn't look like every other $hi7box on the road. My best bud bought an amg suv. Besides the headlights you’d mistake it for a Kia in 2 seconds.

I wish the government would hurry up a ban tik tok. Nothing but crap on it. People who can't make it in the real world. Try to make money by getting clicks. :facepalm:

Tiktok? LOL.
i refuse to even look at any crap from instacrap and tiktok "look at me, you should pay attention" types of "influencers".
Those places are full of people who believe that their discovery of vinegar as a cleaning agent is a LIFE HACK. They don't even know what a hack is, and most of the stuff they post is well known by the more clever people who don't bother with social mediocre.
And the URL pretty much told me - don't even bother, look at the source.

All things considered, it makes perfect sense - and why people bother even looking is amazing.
the URL itself tells all I need to know - dailydot..........

"reporting on life and culture online.........." they live online and have no life..

Normal people crack me up.
You think the people of tiktok and dailydot are normal?
No, they live on the internet. They have no clue about a real world out here.
Shut down their matrix and they die.
