Used 4X4 Recommendations

If you're a lesbian and don't actually have to go through any water, buy the Subaru. For all other scenarios, buy a Toyota. I like 4runners.

Older Cherokees with the 4.0 in-line six are work horses--200k miles easy. Avoid the Renegade and the Grand Cherokee (especially anything pre-2015). My 2016 Wrangler has had one mechanical issue in 8 years; oil cooler. Now, I do only have 70k on it, so we'll see if I get the infamous rocker bearing issue. Time will tell.

Best two engines you'll find in the Jeep were the 258 and 242 in-line 6s. Great engines!

I had an older 94 Jeep Cherokee Country back in the 90’s. Pretty much bulletproof. I had approximately 330k miles on my 94 Toyota Land Cruiser when I sold it awhile back. Best gravel road/snow vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Thanks. I've seen your history with them. Any other models you'd be comfortable with besides the Wrangler?

I see lots of Cerokees, Renegades, etc.

There's a reason for that.

There's a reason for that.

Did you read that as, "I see lots of Cherokees, Renegades, etc. on the side of the road"?

Actually, I saw it as a lot for sale.

Subaru has some quality control issues on the recent past. Plus, they aren't 4x4s. I'd go Toyota. My Tundra has been flawless since I got it. (A 2011)

They're AWD. He doesn't need traction he needs clearance.
