It works great for us, hauls everything we need, and it’s fast as heck and will outperform a Jeep all day everyday in just about every area.

All Wranglers are Jeeps but not all Jeeps are Wranglers.

Wranglers are usually at or near the top of the list when folks make lists of vehicles needing repairs. But alot of us have owned them for many years anyway. They do hold their value too.

I assume if reliability was something you were concerned about you never whould have bought an RV. [emoji846]

Jeeps usually are expected to and do things other vehicles can only dream of doing. A more severe life usually leads to more maintenance in anything. And they have some of the highest resale value of any vehicle.

Ever had that Raptor on Black Bear Pass or even the easy Imogene Pass roads in CO?

Haha I knew I’d ruffle a few Jeep feathers with my statement. That’s why I made sure to say the raptor would outperform in MOST areas [emoji12].

To answer your question, no, I haven’t yet.

Thanks everyone for the info!

Of course, if he wants a pickup truck, he can still have a Jeep...

Just bought a tow dolly so I can tow our Prius which cannot be towed 4 down. I would have loved to have bought a Jeep Wrangler for a toad. But a new one is outrageously expensive and used ones always have way over 100k miles on them AND they still want lots of money for them--like $18 for a 145k mile jeep! Then, on top of that, about $3K to set the Jeep up for 4 wheel down towing. Maybe someday we'll get the Jeep... but if we do, it probably will be our only vehicle after the DW retires. And it would need to be a new one because the used ones all have an outrageous amount of miles on them. Finally... we don't do offroading... so that also would be a negative on buying a Jeep.
