Decent mileage, 4x4, decent capacity, can tow, not a boring ride, and they last.
Leather, heated seats, full & part time 4x.
Not always easy to find but right in the price range.
Has been a GREAT daily driver.
although jeeps don't get grt gas mileage...they do last forever...I have owned a ton of them for my daily driver...found a '97 wrangler 350 V-8 conversion, but they want too much...12K...6k would be plenty,, but it was a grt conversion...but there are a ton of them from 5K up....
