I am looking for a small suv that does not do too bad on gas mileage
and is very reliable. I currently drive a 89 f150 that gets less than
14 miles to the gallon. I drive about 50 miles a day by myself but what

like the capability to carry the family of 4 occassionally. I also want

a 4 wheel drive.


Been looking at used vehicles and found a 2000 xterra with about 77,000

miles. Are these reliable? Are they decent on gas?


I have also looked at a Grand Cherokee which I loved but when I look at

reliability info it scares me:

I would like to be able to haul a trailer occassionally when I need to.



Any advice?
I loved mine for sure, I had all the interior done it leather and my biz partner was driving us thru New Mexico at 4 am and fell asleep at 85 mph we flipped over twice and lived to tell about it so I guess they are safe ,but yeah its a good SUV
