Re: WHY ARE JEEPS BETTER THAN TOYOTAS

I have owned both.....I inherited a 93 XJ with 40,000 mi that I pushed more than I drove.  When it did run tho, it was fast as crap (4.0 Litre).  It is true, most toys are underpowered, including mine. But that's what low range and gears are for. Now I have a 93 toy, with 280,000 mi that runs like a champ.  I did like the solid axle on the XJ.  But the trade off for reliability is not worth it.  I just do not trust American made trucks.  Call me a Jap-lovin traitor or what you will.  The number of miles toyotas consistently rack up speaks volumes.  As said before a few times in this thread....it seems like the people breaking down are the ones not doing preventative maintenance, or they're just idiots...does'nt seem to matter what they're driving.  As far as capability, they both are very capable in their own rights. my  :twocents:    time to move on
RIP KYOTA
