Here's my story: I was shopping for used Jeep (2008 and newer) as a hunting vehicle (I travel interstate for hunts). Cost of fuel concerned me as Jeeps are not very fuel efficient (IMHO). Other concerns were: no bed; 18 wheelers can blow you off the road; and and I needed a short wheel based truck which could rival the Wrangler. I purchased a 2012 regular cab auto 4x. Now the fun begins! This forum appears to be just the ticket for my new project.
