I see, you feel my 15+ years of experience is not objective. haha. I have nothing against the Toyota Land Cruiser,though they are not the offroad vehicle they used to be. When I suggested the Grand Cherokee I was referring to the audience on this thread which I presume is more interested in on road comfort then off road prowness but still wanted a beefy vehicle. If you will go and look at the specs on the new 2005 and upcoming 2006 Grand Cherokee and compare them to the Toyota Land Cruiser you will find Cherokee has far more to offer and costs far less. As to durability, my Cherokee has 280,000 miles on it and STLL GOING STRONG. jdn

<<If I wanted the most serious combination of offroad capability and reliability, I'd buy a Toyota Land Cruiser,>>

One of the guys at the hunting club bought one of those. On the road, in town, pulling or not pulling a trailer ... 8 MPG. That puppy had an engine that belonged in a tractor. Way too heavy too, on soft ground it tended to sink in to the frame.
