Re: 2004 SE vs. others
I've got an 03 with the 2.4 ... I don't think it performs bad, it will lag a
little bit in 5th gear at 75mph going up a hill, but dropping it to 4th
solves the problem... you really have to run the RPMs out to get the full
effect of the engine - that 2.4 meets is max HP near red line (just think it
runs in the dodge stratus - can you say rice boy engine) I've also heard of
that engine mated up to a hypercharger... hmm that would be nice... can't
talk the wife into letting me drop 2000 clams on "HER" jeep... I get 23mpg
pretty much all the time - have had problems with the spark plugs - dealer
change TSB - next time will get a 6 cyl - why? I'm a power freak... no
seriously I want to get AC on my next rig, that soft top turns into a giant
zip lock bag when its hot and humid out. Oh, and my other truck is a s-10
with the 4.3L V6 in it, talk about over powered... but boy is that nice when
you want it...
My recommendation - if you live south and need air - get the 6 ..if you
want to lift it and put on huge tires - get the 6... if you have no money,
and won't do any SERIOUS off roading get the 4... I've had mine off roading
and it did great, but never anything where I though my truck wouldn't make
it... and that s-10 is NOT a off road vehicle even though it is 4wd (but
that's another story) ~D

Re: 2004 SE vs. others
What if i live in NYC, have very little off road opportunities other
than surf fishing on the beach a few days per year, but absolutely
cannot live w/o AC. Dont care for speed, though i highway cruise at
80-85 regularly. MUST HAVE AUtomatic tranny do to city driving. is
this do-able? I heard the weight of the vehicle is just too much

Re: 2004 SE vs. others
You will not like the four cylinder combined with an automatic and a/c.
This combination is well-known to be just a bad combination. Go with the
4.0L engine, you won't regret it like you would with the four cylinder.
