Default I'm New

Hi everybody. I'm new, my name is Ashley and I live in New Jersey. I have a Jeep. I am a first time Jeep Owner. I've had my Jeep for a year now. I really didn't want a Jeep as my first car but well now it is. But I'm hoping my next car will be a nice Ford truck.

Nah not really a Jeep can't pull a huge horse trailer. Fords are very good at pulling trailers. My Jeep can't pull anything.

Jeeps were not designed to pull horse trailers.... If you want to pull trailers get a cummins Diesel in a Dodge.

I've seen a few Jeeps pull and I know that isn't a good idea. So I asked my friend if mine can pull a trailer and he said I will kill my Jeep. I'm not a huge fan of Dodge anymore. My friend has a nice Ford Diesel that truck can pull anything. But I'll be stuck with my Jeep for a while. I know it I will never get a truck that I always wanted.

Hi and welcome. First car? The Jeep I have was bought for my 17 yo daughters Bday a year ago, also her first car. She wanted a Cherokee, and still likes it, but the MPG takes a bite out of her purse.

I am also trying to get her into a Ford.........Focus!

Welcome, from Wisconsin. Over the years I've owned several pick-up trucks, And SUV's. Ford and Chevy. Still jeep is the best for 4 wheeling, I've every seen hands down! I just got rid of a 2001 Yukon XL (best ride for a SUV, I've Had) But the Gas mileage didn't make up for it over all. It was good for pulling the 27 foot boat I own. (which is up for sale, Twin 545 ci. in it. Easily does 60 mph, with 6 people in it.) But anyways if I where to get another pick-up. It would be a ford two wheel drive. (probably early 50's) To build another h-rod. (most of which you see had chey drivetrains in them)

I used to like my Jeep in the beginning now I just don't want my truck anymore. After the accident, nope I don't trust it. So now while I'm driving I was thinking that something is wrong with it while nothing is probably wrong with the thing.

Jeeps were made to replace the need for horses so you dont need a trailer
