Hello!
My Wife and I getting close to retirement and we plan on getting out to see the West of the US. We have a trailer, a Taxa Cricket, that we plan to use a lot. That said, dragging down long dirt roads will be the end of it!
I think of exploring in two buckets, multi week trips with the trailer and one or two days traveling the forest and BLM roads. For extended trips we plan to buy a newer vehicle down the road but for other trips I want to get something that I won't feel too bad getting dings and scratches. In other words, something around $5K.
I like the Jeep KJ Liberty or the second gen Ford Escape. I would love to get some wisdom on these vehicles or any other vehicles. Note, it will need four doors and we have no plans on wheeling.
Thank you and I look forward to learning from you all!
