We recently bought a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4 door. We also looked at the Honda CRV and Chevy Equinox. The Jeep Wrangler to me seemed like a much better deal than the other two. We also own an Acura MDX and my wife and I were just underwhelmed when we drove the CRV. Just too much less than the MDX. The Chevy dealer did not seem all that interested in selling us a car. He kept talking about how no one bought AWD. With the Jeep we got 4WD insted which works much better off road. I can remove part or all of the hard top if I chose to. The handling and fun factor of the drive was much better than the Honda or Chevy. It have a powerful six with lots of pickup. Honda is slow.
Some other real benfits of towing a Jeep is what you don't have to do. You don't have to leave the key in. No fuses to pull. Just put the transfer case in neutral and you are ready to go.
Without a doubt the Honda is very good quality. But the Jeep seemed equally good if not better and cost just a little more. If you want to go off road you will be glad you have a Jeep. If you don't you will just have a lot more fun driving it.
