I have the Escort Passport 8500, it is great a little pricey but well worth the money in opinion.

Now, a better answer would've been: You can't go 40 in a 35 in your jeep?
just making a point

I have one on both my vehicles and is not that I speed , but I know some local cops have "quotas" as there is very little crime in my town so going 5 mph over the posted speed limit will win you a ticket that you can win if you take the time to go to Court...but again it's a waste of your time and $$$ not having one...

IMO, the only detector worth having is the Valentine One, but it ain't cheap.

Truthfully, there are other "good" detectors, especially the highest end models such as the Escort, but nothing else tells you which direction the radar signal is coming from.

A cheap detector is a total waste of money. Either plan to spend the $$$ necessary for a top of the line model or go without.
