I'm thinking of trading the Miata in on a 4x4. While I love driving the Miata (especially the look of horror on Cindy's face on curves in the mountains!) we need something more practical. Also want to go off-road.
Thinking of a Jeep Cherokee, Ford Explorer, maybe Honda Pilot. The Miata only weighs 2400#, will these be any problem weighing 4000-5000# ?(I will use aux. brakes)
Anybody use the Pilot off-road? Is it as capable as the Cherokee or Explorer?
What about the CRV? Is this a true 4x4 with low range?
Not in any hurry, just starting to research.
