I have an 03. good car as long as you keep the maintenance up, there is a lot more maintenance to keep up on though. There is a problem with the ABS computer that intermittently lights up the ABS, Hill descent, and traction control lights but does not affect the function of them, they call them the "three amigos" I am pretty sure all 97-02 have that problem. mine has about 70,000 on it right now and is in great shape but there are a bunch of them that just go to heck after 60,000 like it is a milestone. Gas mileage sucks though, mine gets about 12 hwy, and it is pretty gutless. Off road it is a monster, I would say second only to the AM General HMMWV. I would be careful about what you tow with it though they are pretty short coupled ( wheelbase )
I like mine despite its flaws, I like its "lord of the manor" looks.
