Two ways that a Jeep Wrangler is better than a 4Runner

[Joe Dirt]

Nothing beats a Dana differential set with some low ratios made in the US of A.

Jeeps are better at collecting ducks.

lol that's one thing I just can't wrap my head around is the ducks. Some of these guys or girls have so many ducks I'm not even sure how they see out of the windshield! God forbid they get into an accident....friggin ducks everywhere!

I would love to have a front e-locking diff. Jeep gets it. At some point I'll install one. With one you less likely to need to disconnect the sway bar. For deep snow and spring mud season it would great. Grab handles are be nice.

I mean I like to rent Jeeps on vacation when the prices aren't stoopid so I can go anywhere (when it's just my wife and I). It's about the only rental you can get and know exactly what you will get when you make the reservation. I also like dropping them off at the airport lol. They are so much worse on something like a windy I-70 into denver than over the passes in Breck.

There aren't many airport car rentals I can get and be scraping the skids on big rocks off-road and not freak out a bit.

I just got back from an 8 hour round trip with just the wife and I in the jeep(first time we ever left the kids at home by themselves) got 19.2 mpg on the way there and 18.6mpg on the way back with 35's bumpers/winch, and filled up back seat with luggage, which I feel like is fairly decent. I definitely agree they can get blown around quite a bit because their light boxy figure lol. I could definitely feel the jeep getting blown around.
I will say they have come along way though; I buy a new one every few years, get over it, sell it, buy something else, then miss having a jeep and buy another. The new body style 2018 plus is the best they have ever been. I'm still a Toyota guy all day long but the Jeep is definitely a fun toy vehicle, I can't say that I would have it as my only reliable mode of transportation (although I haven't had any real issues at all over the years)

its small and light, 4000 pounds I believe, and I think our 25 4runner trd offroad premium is 5250 pounds, so there is certainly a weight advantage. The 2.0 turbo is extremely efficient as well, I personally think one of the better motors jeep has come out with in a long time, reliability wise as well. The new 4runner is what made me decide on the jeep turbo, I felt like if this big old 4runner scoots around this well with a 4cy turbo and 35s that jeep should be a rocket and it is!
