So they are in fact available. I did an AutoTrader search on 'em and only a
few came up with my search criteria. I didn't know if those few were
actuals or if they were mistakes in the description because almost
EVERYTHING comes with ABS now and has for a while. Thanks guys.

Most people won't even know they have it. You might be eliminating some
nice Jeeps in your search criteria method.

Oh, I'm sure you are right, but like I said in my original post, this is for
my daughter. She's a newby driver and we live in Wisconsin. She will be
taking this thing to school every day and I need to know she's driving
something that will stop as efficiently as possible. New drivers (actually
most drivers) don't have the sensitivity and presence of mind to NOT just
"lock 'em up" in an emergency stop. They just panic, jam on the brakes and
pray. ABS gives those prayers a better chance of being answered. Don't
want to have to test the airbag system! :)

There is an other end to that. Drivers that aren't aware of what
ABS feels like (Buzzzzzzzzzzzz) when it kicks in are likely to let
off the brake. My suggestion is what ever vehicle you do get, take
the time to go to a dirt/gravel spot and practice emergency stops.

ABS won't necessarily stop you faster. What ABS does is let you
maintain steering control while your skittering to a stop.

I can stop faster in a straight line without ABS, especially
in loose dirt/gravel/snow because the debris pile up in front
of the tire and the vehicle digs-in. While on ice where ABS
shines, it basically allows you to pick where your going to
hit. :/
