the only reason i'd want an SRT8 grand cherokee would be to hear that sweet sweet exhaust. other than that, pass.

How so? Most peoples dash rattles are around the speaker in the dash, mine does not rattle and as far as the vibrations I have none, however those with awd, and lowered (such as yourself) have well documented your troubles as well as your efforts to correct them with vibrations. Also symptoms that my rwd does not experience. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

every 3GS has/had rattles. it is not the speaker covers that cause the rattles, its the windshield clips.

I just went from a TBSS to an awd 350, well technically my wife got the 350. We ditched an 05 civic coupe and the TBSS for the GS because its much better suited for the baby thats on the way. I have a company truck so we only need the one car.

I enjoy driving the lexus much more than the TB. The trailblazer was good at a some things that the lexus can't touch.

1. Getting terrible gas mileage
2. Could tow my supra at 80mph no problem (Jeep can't touch)
3. Exhaust tone.
4. Heated seats can almost burn you.

not every one rattles but it is a common problem. there is no certain model thats rattle free. my 06 is rattle free after having it fixed. could be that your was fixed prior to owning the car.

It seems so but Chrysler,Jeep,Dodge are probably the absolute worst. I've been in low mile cherokees, GC's, Durangos, 300's all with terrible interior quality issues. My mother opened the door on her 10 year old cherokee and the door fell OFF!! The door hinge rotted through. I haven't heard of a lexus door falling off yet. I'd personally stay away from their products.
