    Been lurking for a little bit. Well I am picking up my new Renegade on Friday: A 2016 Omaha Orange Trailhawk with basically all the options except Beats Audio (I specifically made them find me one without it). I'm both excited and nervous at the same time. I'm hopefully many of the quirks are worked out by now but know I may have to get some software updates.

    I am coming from a 2015 Toyota 4runner which I actually love so I hope I don't miss the space/power/reliability/etc. too much. I'm a Yota fangirl in case you can't tell but the Rav4 is too bland for me and Jeep has always been on my long list of former vehicles.

    Well looking forward to getting it in hand and being a more active contributor in the group!

    You'll love it, my '15 TrailHawk has all of the options basically and I haven't had any of the issues or quirks that many have mentioned here.

    There will be a little less interior space than the 4Runner, but definitely not enough to be a dealbreaker.

    Well, the Renegade ain't no 4Runner but I think you'll still love it just the same. Be sure to post up some pics of your new ride once you get it :)

    I have posted previously about going from an Xterra to the T-hawk, yes there is a lil less room, but the difference in the mileage and the fact that my kids are older and not around as much made it the perfect choice...now to get it out on the beach and shaken out a little bit.

    Picked it up last night (crappie dealer experience...can't wait for my survey) but I love the looks and it was comfortable on the ride home. It rained the whole drive home and raining this morning but I'll get pics when the clouds part. Thanks for all the input!

    Welcome to the club!

    For me, I drove through a freezing rain storm that changed into a blizzard for 2 hrs after picking mine up from the dealer. Didn't even get it home without getting it all dirty lol.

    But made me very confident right from the start.

    First welcome to the club,

    I switched from Rav4 to the renegade. The Renegade has more room on the front, however the back row seats do not. But The kids are older now, so now they travel in their own car :)

    Only a few days into ownership but so far I'm really liking it. For some reason I only have 1 pic for now...
