Since it's an hour highway drive to town we want something with good highway manners. And would need to drive an hour or more to most of the offroad trails. I'd love a 2 door Wrangler but would get tired of driving it on the road pretty quickly. That's what's leading me more to an older 4Runner/Lexus or a Grand Cherokee with maybe a mild lift. Since It'll be left out in the weather I don't want to get anything too new. I may end up just buying an older jeep to keep there and still tow the Tahoe back and forth.
Don't want to give up my Tahoe. It is 4x4 with low range and other than the size and clearance it's offroad capable. More so if I add a lift and skid plates. Next summer I'll talk to neighbors who leave vehicles up on the mountain over the winter. And do some exploring with the Tahoe to see where it'll take me while still stock.
Winegrower I've been in contact with a couple people who are towing a GX470. With the manual transfer case with neutral they haven't had any problems. I think 1998-2007 model 100 is towable but not recommended in the owners manual.
Good ideas, thanks.
