VVV As always, thanks. My goal is to continue to DD the Land Cruiser and use a small truck for around town, the Lake, beach, etc. I just want some open air basics combined with not being worried about a soon to be 30 year old pristine interior on the LC!

I have errands to run this afternoon so I'll go do a "fit check" at the Jeep dealer.

Thanks!

As good as the JT is around town it’s that bad on the highway, especially the Mad Max Thunderdrome of DFW. Around town it’s nicely equipped, has good features, well laid out, has adequate space for four adults, and fun to drive. On the highway it’s slow, gets terrible MPG, loud as hell, and gets slapped around by every semi truck. I always loved the truck, but my opportunity to do “Jeep stuff” ended up being about 1% of how I was actually using it. I traded it in on a Ram Limited and have been much happier.
