First let me say that I REALLY hope this vehicle is successful. Yes, I'm not sure about the edge of the hood--waiting to see it in person, but spec-wise, it comes so close to my 95 GC Laredo, though short on torque since I got the V-8. But in areas I really care about, size, etc... it's a great fit for me.
My question is about the Trailhawk's (I think trim-exclusive?) 4WD system. Is it basically for rock-crawling? If that's true, I'd be a poser to upgrade to the Trailhawk just for that because my off-roading is much more conservative than that. Is it the only trim with Low range? I do like having that because I have to go down steep, slick driveways in the winter (and for other occasional uses.)
I priced them out on the Jeep site. I'm coming in at $35K, which is (I think) about $4-5K higher than my 95, but with a way better interior, gas mileage, inflation, etc... so I can't be TOO upset.
Thanks for any input, even if not related to the 4WD system.
