Jeep or CRV - the search for a toad continues
Narrowing down the search for a new toad that we can tow 4 down. DW's current Civic requires a dolly and it's a pain. So we drove the CRV and frankly she's not crazy about it. It's a great toad based ...

I tow a jeep, a 2000 TJ Wrangler with 283,000 miles on it at last count.
I also drive it everywhere every day, and insist that I like it. Itsa jeep thing, you just wouldn't understand.
But with the addition of our third dog, we have outgrown it, and a month ago I put a blue ox baseplate on the wife's 2010 Jeep Liberty. We'll see how it tows, but it is a very nice little truck/suv/jeep thing. I never liked the first design liberty's, the rounded ones with the spare tire on the tailgate. But this body style looks good. Kinda like a Jeep Commander that spent too much time in the dryer?
You might take a look and a test drive of a lightly used last design Liberty. Maybe your DW will like it. A 2013 model would still have a warrantee and be buyable for maybe $19k (for a limited like we have)
My niece has a 2012 liberty my wife borrowed for a week. She sort of liked it but I don't think enough to buy it. If you haven't figured out by now, DW is picky. Not high maintenance but picky, and I don't mean that in a bad way. When she makes a decision she knows it's the right one but it can be a laboring process. Like I said before, all this analysis I do is to gently guide my wife into decisions and alert her to potential bad ones. But at the end of the day she'll get what floats her boat. I am just along for the signature.
