Greetings All!
Santa didn't leave something shiny and needing keys in the driveway yesterday, so I've spent the majority of today as a guest going through the many forums and postings that were of particular interest to me here... trying to choose a SUV for the next several years of my life.

I tend to both go through cars, yet hang on to one or another faithfully for long periods. I had a Scout of many years, just a RWD 4 banger. Next up a F150 for another decade, and now I have owned one of the first RAV4 AWD's to come over, since '96. It still runs well, but mountain passes and more than 200K miles have taken a toll on that spartan lightweight. Between those 3 vehicles were maybe a dozen or more that came and went. I get a company truck every three years, so commuting miles are not an issue, but readiness to serve after periods of non-use is a sought after trait.

I'm thinking the TH is what I may wish to have and hold on to next, and the many, many subject postings here are a boon to this decision process.

Once I get through most of the posts, I'll start asking about what I haven't seen answered yet.

With the TH, you'll have a FWD platform, drivability characteristics of an AWD and 4x4 capabilities with excellent gas mileage. Welcome to JCC
Thanks!
Those are some of the characteristics I've searched for (in vain). Some of the ones I want to carry over from the current ride are tight turning radius, adaptable seating configuration, and an individual character.

One item that I have not seen mentioned would be a mountable winch. Not that I feel it must be a permanent fixture, or a key part of Jeep culture, but it would be nice to know it is an accessory option. I would take a come-a-long with me in the RAV from time to time, but there is a curb weight difference between the two vehicles that I am taking into consideration.

And I've followed the Cherokee Experience points thread. I do believe I'll get in on that bonus right from the get go!
