First of all, I want to say hi to everybody in this forum. I'm somewhat new in this whole Jeep world.
I plan to buy a Jeep Wrangler 2007+. I found a good deal for a Jeep Wrangler 2007 X Unlimited 4D, but after some research I found out that this Jeep wasn't 4WD. At first I thought all Jeep Wranglers were 4x4, but after finding a topic in this forum, I discover I was wrong.
I own a 1990 Geo Tracker 4WD, which I use when I go outdoors, but since it has no A/C and I live in a must-have-A/C city, that a problem for me.
I plan to use the Wrangler in the city on a daily basis, and take it to the beach, or maybe camping probably about 6 or more times a year. I always do 1 long trip a year, which involves driving more than 30 hours on a highway, and going camping for a couple of weeks.
The 4WD on my Tracker, worked very good for me, for all the trips I've done, and since the engine on the tracker is not powerful enough for me, sometimes I had to use the 4WD to go up paved hills on cities I visited.
So I was thinking maybe that I don't need the 4WD that much, since the Wrangler it self is more powerful. I've already read the specs of the engine, but I don´t really know how powerfull it is in real life.
Eventually I'd love to lift the Wrangler, and getting a good suspension system, to make it more for the outdoors.
My question is, how important would it be to have de 4WD if I decide to take the Wrangler to rocky or inclined areas? Do I really need the 4WD? These are my 2 options:
1. Jeep Wrangler Sport 2D 4x4 2011 - In case that a 4WD is what I need based in your knowledge. This is a 2 doors, wich is okay, but I would rather have the 4 doors one below.
2. Jeep Wrangler X Unlimited 4D 2WD 2007 - This would be the option if 4WD is not what I need. This one is 4 doors and is in pretty good shape, but the model is somewhat old.
I don't have a family of my own, so the Wrangler will take only me and my girlfriend. Some times friends. The extra space for the cargo on the option 2 is a +! I have a dog that I take always with me so you can see the extra space is a very good option for me.
Thanks in advance for you answers. Have a good day.
