I'm looking for a used 4x4 and need some recommendations.
Use will be on the beach (Hatteras) with some trips to the mountains.
I'm more concerned about the ability to drive on the beach so I don't
have to haul my stuff so far when I go surf fi****ng. In the mountains
we often camp and some of the spots require water crossings to get to
the parking areas, which I can't do in my daily driver (4 door sedan
with low clearance).
For beach trips I usually have 3 surf rods and/or 4 surfboards.
Passengers are my wife and daughter.
I've been looking at Cherokees or 4Runners. Trying to keep the cost
under 4k. This won't be a daily driver. I'm looking for something with
a decent repair record and sorta decent mpg (or so to speak). At this
time I use my dad's 'burb, which is ok but more vehicle than the 3 of
us need.
