LOL! Indeed.

 

I traded a 08 aspen for my durango.

 

Traded '07 Aspen for my D. Loved that truck but it was time to go.

 

Dang. Well there's two of us left lol

 

I have an 09 5.7 two mode hemi Hybrid Aspen!. Just over 113k miles on her. Love her to death but just replaced the Inverter last week, now having hard shift issues, thinking it's low on Tranny fluid, hybrid shop I take her too is begging for me to get out of it, they says she's throwing battery failure codes. Looking for advice on if I should do a trade in, but with vehicle costs since pandemic, I'm afraid I won't be able to get another Aspen. Love love love my baby, but is she worth it?

 

BG:
Congrats on getting the vehicle you wanted.
I recall fondly watching them build Durangos and Aspens back in October of 2007 when our group toured the Newark, Delaware plant.
At the time, suvs were not selling well, and they had a boat load of them parked outback while still cranking out about 400 a day.
I was a Gen 1 (2001) owner at the time, and would have loved to have driven an 08 home!

About the Aspens........ I think they all went to Colorado..... :0)

We traded an '09 Aspen (last year, and lifetime powertrain warranty from factory) for '11 Grand Cherokee....and now '14 Durango. We loved the Aspen. We bought ours new in '10, and got $12K off sticker. It was a 2wd Hemi. We only traded because of the "2wd". It was the wife's daily driver, and it had scary torque in inclement weather. We had 0 issues with ours. Sure can't say the same for the Jeep. Here's a pic for memories:

 

The Aspens were some of the nicest rides to leave Newark DE.
Nobody grasped the concept. I fear the same will be the future Wagoneer we all hear of. I think building a LUXO 70K + 3 row SUV will just not sell.

An Aspen pulled up behind me not too long ago. It was the first time I had seen an Aspen in a LONG time. Looked good! Hemi cousins. LOL!

 

Yep, I have a 2008 Aspen, I love it

 

By any chance do you have any problems with the interior climate control lighting? Mine was giving me problems before I traded it in. Someone else on here had this issue and figured out a way to fix it.

 

I love the Aspens but the name and the lines in the hood kinda threw me off. Sweet rides though, for sure.

 

Durango body with a Sebring looking front end humm interesting.

 

Almost purchased a 2008 Aspen Limited with the hemi. Had 25k on the clock and was loaded, problem was that the previous owner did not clean it for anything. It was filthy, full of crumbs, dirt, stained mats and all 4 chrome wheels were badly pitted. I walked away and found a clean 2012 Durango R/T with 15k miles on it. Love the look of the Aspen but finding clean ones with low miles are hard to come by.

 

I loved mine, but had to trade for a heavier family vehicle. Now I'm in a 13 Durango R/T.

 

They are pretty Great rides.
With a Hemi and even Hybrid available in 2009
The 2009 HEMI/HYBRID had beastly power out of the hole

It was a great SUV, came out at the wrong time, smack dab in the middle of Diamley/Chrysler's troubles. We almost bought a used one before I found a 4wd Limmited 14 for my wife.

 

we almost bought one in 2009 but my wife opted for a Commander limited because she couldn't deal with the lines in the hood. looked too much like a minivan from the front for her.

 

New Aspen owner here.

Just picked up a mint, loaded 2008 Hemi Aspen 4x4 with 70k miles.

Always liked the look of the Aspens and the fact you don't see too many of them.

This won't be a daily driver, but when we need to haul the kids, grandkids, cellos and for long road trips.

 

Very nice Aspen.

 

I have an 07 Aspen with a Hemi and love it!

 

And you haven't told us this yet because... ? Share a pic or two with us please!

 

I'll post for my uncle... They've got a 2008 with the HEMI! It's not a bad truck at all, they just did a cross country road trip in it

 

Pics, pics, pics people!!

 

My Brother has an 09 that he's trying to convince his son who just got his learners that it's going to be his first car. Other then it's color it a nice SUV.

 

My wife and I bought s 2008 Aspen with 117k last night. I brought it home and when we went for breakfast this morning we noticed a few things I missed. The A post passenger side was rigged in place.

I took it back they are going to fix that and on the way back to the dealer the svc 4wd light came on and went off twice. I didn't feel anything and continued to the dealer.

Dropped it off and told my guy what happened and told him I wanted it put on the computer and a list of what codes they found.

I'm not worried about the A post but the 4wd worries me. Anybody with similar problems?

Thanks

I just retired my 2006 Patriot Blue Hemi D. With well over 200K and 10 years of hard driving (Only way to drive a Hemi!). I looked at Gen3's, but couldn't do it. I found a nice low miles 08 Aspen that had an easy life. It's Cognac Crytal Pearl in color with all the toys, including the sunroof, nav, quad heated seats, and so on. I hope to get anoth 5 years out of this one. I tried to talk my wife into finding another one to stick in storage as I cringe at the thought of no more full frame Hemi SUV's the next time around... she didn't bite. I'll get pics up as soon as spring gets here in Michigan.

 

Here is a picture.

 

Hello and welcome! That's a nice looking specimen you picked up there. Good color for the Aspen design aspects.
