What It Cost To Own Our Jeep Cherokee After 14,000 Miles
Our long-term Jeep 2014 Cherokee received a lot more than its second oil change when we took the SUV in for service at 13,300 miles. In fact, the Jeep received its second engine. Replacing the 2.4-liter four-cylinder was a roundabout way of changing the oil, but it came at no cost to us since it was covered by Jeep’s five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Since our previous quarterly update, editors accumulated 2,723 miles to the tune of $391 in fuel. Otherwise, our wallets haven’t been lightened by the Cherokee aside from fuel, the first scheduled maintenance as well as the Jeep accessories we purchased: a dog kennel ($142.41) that attaches to metal cargo hooks in the cargo area and a cooler ($60) that uses the Cherokee’s built-in cargo rail system.
