SUV's poisen the air with pollution causing people to die from global warming which causes hurricanes, hot wheather, cold wheather, snow storms. Not to mention baby seals die just so you can buy an SUV because their ice melts and they drown.

Get the Toyota...

They are dependable, reliable, and the most solid vehicle outside of a Subaru....

[Chickensoup]

Let 'em die. I want to drive safely.

Jeeps, like anything else put out by Chrysler, are pure junk. Good luck on one of those lasting ten years. If you're lucky, the tranny might last 10,000 miles.

Toyota, on the other hand, is good stuff, despite all the recalls to their cars.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Seriously though. I agree with the poster that said Toyota. I'll be buying a new car or truck this year and if its a truck I'll buy a Tundra probably.

I thought that these were rugged cars that were a lot like their forefathers.

No brainer, get the FJ.

I looked at the tundra. Nice truck. I need a SUV though. I dont have anything to put in the back besides kids.

please elaborate?

[Chickensoup]

There are no stupid questions, however there does seem to be an abundance of inquisitive idiots


You including me????? LOL

When I weighed the same decision, I asked co-workers for their opinions. A lady co-worker said where her husband works, they all had Jeep. And all the Jeeps had to have their transmissions replaced.
I bought Toyota, with no regrets.

Personally I'd lean toward the Toyota, but even it didn't get very good reviews recently (for a Toyota) in Consumer Reports.

My Son in Law works for Toyota. I've seen one from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo caked in mud inside and out, they washed down the inside with a high pressure water hose to clean it. All electronics are sealed so you can do that without damage. Also the seats are made to air dry with no damage. It's a Toyota, they make good stuff.

[davetex]

No, of course not. I hope I helped.

[Chickensoup]

No, of course not. I hope I helped


You did. Thank you!

I bought my 2002 model Jeep Liberty in Oct 2001. It is still as perfect now as the day I bought it and tows my camper without effort.. My Mom's 1994 Jeep Cherokee has been passed down to my brother who abuses it for fun. It's a little rattley but strong and reliable. I would buy another Jeep in a minute, but don't have to. The Liberty is a tank in 4x4 low.

That seems to be a drastic problem. I assume under warenty..

[Chickensoup]

What did CR say was the problem with it? I am intersted because I like both of them but the Sahara seems to be a less complicated vehicle.

[davetex]

I would only add that the FJ will probably keep a better resale value than a Jeep.
