I’m 99% on picking up a Jeep Liberty after sweating the possibility of having to pay the gas mileage on a Tacoma. Most of my driving during the weekday will be a 23 mile stretch of nicely paved country road, that might provide some challenge in the winters. The weekends will be pure work on the freeway, bags of potting soil, sand, a dirtbike. (with trailer)
Other weekends will include dirty awesomeness hiking/fishing/trap shooting/camping. Expectation for offroad are for fire roads, USFS tracks and USFW roads.
Here's my criteria:
1. Utility - needs to fit the bill for the above mentioned reasons
2. Mileage - 26 mpg or better
3. Performance – high speed and low drag is my motto, hopefully my rig won’t drag
4. Style - Grills, bumpers, brush guards, lights?
5. “sweet” factor – any “must have” creature comforts?
What option packages do you consider must have?
(tow package, CRD engine, etc..)
