Jeep GC 2011

I fully agree. If it were totally up to me I would be buying a diesel 2500, but the wife has a say and with the 10 month old we need something with easier access than our three door saab. I like the Jeep a hell of a lot better than any of the wagons she wanted and it will be nice to have something that can get me off road reliably.

Just don't buy the 4WD expecting anything like true 4WD performance. With computer control, all it really is doing is shifting power to only one single tire at a time. Still single wheel drive, but traction control (and marketing) gives the illusion you are getting much better traction that actually exist. But, still is more than adequate for street driving (which is where 95% of SUVs are ever driven!) Good luck. They are nice looking rides.

Well I will actually be going off road quite a bit, I am going to get the off road package which has a two speed transfer case and mechanically locks the diff. I know it won't be as bad ass as my grandfathers 65 bronco, but it should be able to get me where I need to go.

If you can get the mech locks, then you can definitely get much better off-road performance out of it! If that 65 bronco is available.......
