    A 2nd Gen Ford Escape in this area, with no rust on the rear fenders, is becoming a rarity here in Southeast PA!

    In the early 1990s, Jeep touted its vehicles as having the best 4WD systems, but Cherokee had the same transfercase as the Chevy S-10 Blazer and GMC Jimmy; I have the sales brochures to prove it...

    Companies use each others drivetrain components/technology all the time. The current Supra is a prime example of that. Those 3.0TT BMW motors are hard to beat.

    Actually, the transfercases came from a third party supplier; I think it was New Process...? Why do people shut on the Supra then?!?!

    That is correct. NP made transfer cases for a lot of manufactures.

    Not sure why people shit on the BMW motor. It has been dead on reliable and just killing everything in the various classes. M2/3/4 come to mind...

    I had a 98’ Grand Cherokee with a 318.
    It used the QuadraTrac system. I never had any issues with it.

    That said, I don’t want any modern manufactured by Stellantis.

    Could I put as many miles on it as I put on my Tacoma without a major mechanical failure?

    Hard to say Charlie. Two totally different platforms and uses. I'm just assuming here, but if you used your truck like an M3 and a M3 like your truck...

    This the lot for newer vehicles that are going on the lot, but haven't been prepped for sale yet; I think a lot of these were purchased at wholesale auctions around the country, as opposed to being traded in...

    My old Scirocco had a one wiper system, a little weird at first but not too bad.
