Appreciate the input, gentlemen, and maybe I can give more parameters:
Towing is my Dually's job, fooling around & certain trips are Mustang stuff, and the Road Runners are the rolling monuments
Wagon architecture is to me the Swiss Army Knife for weather, tasks, and general life stuff.
The XJs are pretty likeable, but are (to me) a bit more crude than my Pathfinder.
By the same token - see the "weirdest driving" thread - I'm NOT digging the high-tech robotic driving experience of the new cars.
My philosophy is to find the nicest used example of something reliable and I guess I'd say enjoyable.
At the moment, I'm kinda drawn to the Cherokees & Mazda CX-5 of the 2000-2015-ish era, but certainly open to alternatives.
A buddy of mine loves his Honda Pilot...
