I love driving my Runner all over town. Don't mind driving it to the trails either. And after years of driving it to the trail I've finally come to the decision that there isn't enough room in it to bring all the items I want to take with me when I go to places like the hammers. So a tow rig was in order. With that said when I go to the Rubicon I take only the Runner. So now its all about where I am going. If its an off-road park its tow but if it's "A" trail then its the runner. Plus with a tow rig I have a daily vehicle for when I have major mods or repairs to the Runner.
