Well, mods have opinions as well and after the search for a reasonably priced jeep or cr-v to tow I also have a bad taste in my mouth for the "Jeep Cult". The title of this thread is "Jeep Wrangler Prices". Explain to me why my observations are not on topic.
All this bravado about "off road capability" and "built to take abuse" when the only "abuse" the large majority of jeeps get is speed bumps at the mall. It's all a phony economy that sensible people will ignore.
My DD has one all jacked up with big noisy tires and terrible suspension. Never been off road. She was always a "follow the cult" type. Previous worthless autos were Range Rover, Saab and BWM.

Went through the same thing when buying something to tow. During our Big Adventure, we didn't tow anything. We ended up spending $3000 on rental cars. During the six months on the road, I did and informal poll of what class As were towing (looked at every class A going by) and 95 percent were CR-Vs or some flavor of Jeep. So of course, when it came time to buy, I started shopping for one of those. Talk about sticker shock. A ten year old CR-V with 200,000 miles and a beat up interior for $18,000??? No Thanks.
I got a 3 year old Equinox for the same price. Underpowered, but considered to be one of

It won't get cut by me. But let me share a couple things that everyone should know...
As jplante4 pointed out yes Mods can have opinions. But in this case I’ll add that he’s not a Mod in this forum, he’s acting just as you, as a member. There is no way for us to turn off the “Mod” in forums we don’t moderate in, plus if we can’t join in then why be a Mod. Though I strongly disagree with him, I will not censor him or anyone for that reason. If I did that many posts in this thread might have been deleted, I try to be pretty easy on the delete button. But that’s now how I moderate.
I don’t totally disagree jplante4 though, I see a ton of Mall Crawlers, but that’s their right. That is one of the great things about the Jeep, it’s versatile. From beach cruisers, to off road, mall crawlers to Toads; its one of the most customizable vehicles out there. While I could say some disparaging things about Subarus, that’s not my thing. 😉
In my case I don’t have huge tires, just a set of KO2’s which really are great for the off-roading that I do, plus are very quiet when I spend about 150 days with the doors and top off going too and from work, best convertible ever!
