generic questions about jeeps
I'm considering buying my daughter a jeep (Wrangler) to use at college
so she will have something that goes in the snow.
Unfortunately, I have no experience or knowledge about the different
models, engine sizes, what to look out for, etc.
I'm thinking of something in the 01,02 year range. I want a 6 cylinder
and hardtop.
Could some of you fill me in on what to look for, what to stay away
from?
Thanks,
Rut

If your concern is safe travel in snow, a Wrangler might not be the best
choice. The short wheel base and high CG can get away from you pretty
quickly, especially with an inexperianced driver. I tend to drive my
Cherokee more than my Wrangler in the winter. (This opinion based on the
fact that I live up four miles of dirt road, and a quarter mile of
driveway in Vermont.)

What Jeff said. Wranglers are fun, Cherokee is a better vehicle for the
college kid.

Re: generic questions about jeeps
Gotta agree with Jeff (X2) Longer wheelbase would be better for a young
driver in winter climate. Now... about the room in the back....

Jeff, where are you in VT? I grew up in Shelburne/Charlotte area.
