I know where you live the Toyotas tend to rust into oblivion after 8-10 years though. |

Everything rusts into oblivion after that many years. IL blows.
I wouldn't mind having something like a 4 banger Ranger or Dakota or s10 (has to be the old, boxy body style though) if they weren't so damn slow. Its a truck, it should have at least enough power to carry a decent sized load. I saw a few videos on youtube of 4 cylinder Rangers doing 0-80 runs and I don't think I could stand it being that slow. It has to be at least equal with my Cadillac in terms of speed/power.

Something had to give for that 25mpg, you can't have your cake and eat it too. |

For as much as I like the design and luxury of these first generation Grand Cherokees, they weren't as reliable as the Tahoes, but the Tahoes never made anything like this. It would have been sweet if they did though....7.4L Tahoe Sport... 
It'd probably get better mileage than the 5.9 GC Limited too!  Quote:

I really don't like the 1st half of the 4th Gen f-bodies. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
