That's what I was thinking.
I kinda want it for off road in the future. But since is not a 4x4 I was confused.
It's a nice jeep but I guess I have to keep looking.
2wd is not gonna help me when it comes to off road.

What's usually the gas mialege on a V8 4x4?

We bought an '04 Grand new w/the 4.7L V8 full time 4WD. It now has 97,000 miles on it. We travel from Tenn. to Mich. a lot and it gets between 18-21 MPG on a trip depending on how you drive.
