Looking for opinions. Considering the

Nissan XTerra
Toyota 4Runner
Jeep Liberty

Proposed uses:
Goin to work vehicle, city streets. Local freeways, and periodic
freeway trips to hiking/camping areas.

Weekly:
Desert dirt roads, hardpack, washboard roads, soft sand, washouts.
<or> (depending on time of year)
Mountain roads, rock, gravel, rocks, washouts, altitudes to 10.000
feet,
Rock crawling is not anticipated.

Must have sufficient room in the back to haul a family members
wheelchair (standard issue, folding) from time to time without folding
seats down.

Starting the initial shopping soon. Would appreciate comments.
Thanks

this is easy !
4runner is by far the best choice with all the room you require.
jeep liberty is a joke along with all their other
models.
xterra i'm not familiar with but i don't think
they have a lot of room.
good luck,
dick

Chevy Trailblazer

Hope this helps, although late, I have a 06X, it"is an upgrade from my 02X.
I wouldn't trade it for anything. It sounds like the X would fit your bill.
Good Luck.

I just got an '06 S and love it. It's a manly car for manly men. It drives
well on pavement too. Toyota transmissions are well known for their
unresponsiveness. Jeep is, well, a Chrysler product, with all the
reliability issues you might expect from that.
