Why are the Explorers broken down by year, but the Cherokees are not?

[solarbird]

i dunno. but if you broke out the cherokees into years they'd drop out of the top ten probably? and then it'd be ALL FORD EXPLORER ALL THE TIME with special guest star Dodge Caravan.

Yet that would be a more internally consistent data set. If the vehicles were not broken out by year, it would probably be:

1. Ford Explorer
2. Jeep Grand Cherokee
3. Jeep Cherokee
4. Dodge Caravan
5. ???

I have no use for the Ford Explorer, but that is no reason to massage the data to make it look worse than it actually is.

Problem with the Cherokees is that they have a VERY bad tendency to rust out in a short time! I had a 96 that had very little rust. After 1 really bad winter with lots of salt and slush, I almost put my hand through the rear floorboard. They weren't really good on gas, but weren't that bad on it as well.

One reason I can think of: Fords have a tendancy to change over model years much more than Jeeps have, particularly during that period. A 1998 Jeep Cherokee is nearly identical to a 2001 model. As I recall, Explorers had two model revamps during that stretch.
