        Granted it doesn't have a low range, body-on-frame, etc, that make it a stellar off-roader, but it holds it's own.
        to be nit-picky.. the Jeep Cherokee is a reinforced unibody and not a traditional body-on-frame chassis. So if you bend a panel or have rust damage it's more of a bitch to fix. In a pickup truck all you do is take the cab or bed off and replace with another.

        I have a Subaru and it's great, but it doesn't come close to the ruggedness of a pickup truck. Depends what you're looking for

            Well, welcome to the "I do my front cv boots yearly" club. Get another set of front axles so you can just swap them in.

                It was insanely cheap, I figured out the non-start issue in about 30 minutes of cleaning and now I have a well-maintained 109k, one owner 325ix. Also rust free <3 All the trim is there, just needs a bit of cleaning and TLC.

                      resolution to your dilemma.

                      have children
                      raise children
                      get children their license
                      let children drive cars
                      after children wreck cars, part out.

                          I would sell both. But would leans toward keeping the CRV. I believe FI either turbo or supercharge are good viable options or swapping out heads. Be a short project but end the end suit your need for that extra hp.
