Hello All, currently I have a 17 Cherokee Trailhawk and have been looking at new and used Wranglers. I live just north of Green Bay, WI. In my research, I've come up with some questions that I hope you all can help me with. And, some of these questions may answer themselves.
1. WI Driving: 70-75 mph Interstate 2 or 4 door? My Jeep is always inside the garage except when the weather's nice then it's outside.
2. WI Snow: 2 or 4 doors?
3. Weaving in and out of traffic? In WI we have a bunch of DA's that sit in the left lane and won't move over. So, move to the right lane get in front of them.
4. Jeep doesn't do any off-roading, but I've heard about this Death Wobble Lawsuit. Should I be worried?
5. I'm single with a 16-yr old. 2 or 4 doors?
6. Sometimes pull a Discovery Rover ET trailer (12') that at the most have 1,000 lbs-ish. Get a Jeep with the hitch/tow package or no biggy just put it on yourself?
7. Lease or Buy?
8. If you went used. Are there years to avoid, amount of miles, miles / how old, etc.
9. Manual or Power Windows? I have power and like the access to putting passenger/rear windows down just below window deflectors.
10. Rust. I've looked at some Wranglers and noticed the rust/pitting/etc. on the hinges and how some owners removed the hinges, sandblasted/sanded, primed, painted, etc. I know "white" shows it easily "the one I looked at." Should I worry about this? Since I'm in WI we have that crap called "salt ". Is it just a matter of making sure they're clean especially during the winter months?
11. 4 or 6 cyl?
12. Sidesteps?
13. Colors to stay away from? I'm the guy who likes orange, yellow, purple, red, blue, silver; not a black or white "rust pops out".
I know this is a lot and hopefully, you all can make it through it.
