Kev,
One of my Uncles is a retired director of Chrysler. They will not be going anywhere in Australia and are expanding. You won't have any trouble getting parts.
I love our V8 Grand cherokee as it has a 3500kg towing capacity and with the big Hemi V8 it can tow our 2.5 tonne caravan like a light weight camper trailer.
They are excellent 4wd's and if you are worried about fuel economy then the CRD diesel is the way to go and uses only about 10ltr 100 combined with nearly the same level of performance as the 5.7ltr V8 and can out accellerate the 4.7 V8 and has Merc running gear in them.

But then again if I did not get a grand Cherokee I would have gone with a V8 Landcruiser, they are excellent as well and have 3.5 tonne towing capacity as well.
My wife loves the smaller feel of the Grand cherokee as its her car but I do like those Landcruisers.
Regards Matt.
