Default the next XJ

I was thinking... In 20 years there will be very few if any xjs still in operation... Sad day.. anyway, what will be the new go to 4x4 vehicle...the next xj?

I think itl be the wrangler or the Toyota fj, no one makes any decent affordable 4x4s these days

Who needs a 4x4 when you have hover cars. Maybe 20 years is a bit soon though.

If Jeep is still around I would assume the Wrangler will still be a good option.

Maybe Jeep will have a new pickup truck by then.

Really like the J8.

They'll only be worth something to someone who really wants an XJ.

Give it a few years and the Wrangler will have independent suspension too instead of axles.
