but i've also got to have manageable gas mileage for work trips, road trips, etc.... which i'll get about 20.
You gonna try to find one of the CRD Libertys? Those things look good on paper, as much power as the V6 (if not more) and way better mileage. I've heard there are a couple minor mods you have to do to get them to run well though. Something about the diesel here being a little different than europe, and Chrysler just imported them straight over and didn't make any changes to them.

I've actually decided to go with a wrangler. My only concern was the space in the back
But I test drove one and determined that if I remove the backseat I should have enough room in the back for my dogs

An LJ Wrangler will give you a little more room then a TJ. If you are looking at those years.

I'm not actually looking at the LJs. Because they are a touch more than what I want to spend

Man i so agree with you what was Dodge and Cummins thinking with the 6.7

I was blessed to work on one of these rear ends (dana 60) the other day, simple job, replace axle seals.. turned into a 6.5 hour job. F$@K GM!!!!!

#2 - The Dodge Ram - specifically the diesel

Was blessed to work on one of these today for some extra mulah, needed some lower intake gaskets, $227.65 in parts and 6+ hours later, it was done. There's a reason why Dodge 86'ed their trucks.. that reason being the 6.7L Cummins.. God what a horrific engine.

p.s. - truck pictured dug its own grave upon landing, discarded most of the things bolted to it and is still sitting 6ft under out in the desert somewhere..

What makes it so terrible is that the 5.9L Cummins was such a beast of a motor.
