Take it from someoe who's owned both, Jeep has nothing on Toyota in the reliability dept. A crankshaft sensor just failed/shorted and blew up the ECU on my dad's Cherokee this past week. And I've had numerous 4.0L's just mysteriously "eat" the water pump amog other things. I LOVE the 4l's torque and all, but it's not really a 300K motor like most Toyota's are (3vZ being the exception) not to mention that no mater what you do, you'll never eek 20mpg otu of a 4L. And yeah, Toyotas are just tougher beast's in general. Espescialy when you consider, as has been mentioned here, that all of the comparable SUV's and the one PU in comparision are Uni-Body which leads to a massively decreased lifespan when abused. Sorry, it's not just internet hype, Toyotas really are the holy grail of relaibility. Are they all bullet proof, NO. Are the things that go bad, some, yes. Are they anywhere near the numbers that Jeep sees? Not likely. Go for an LC or an Older Runner/PU and build it to suit. The frame alone on the Older trucks is something to lust after. It looks like it should be under a Domestic 1 Ton.wjtoy said:
