I always wanted a Jeep. I finally got one in 2004, when I was almost 60. We bought one to tow behind the motorhome. We liked that one so much, we bought a brand new one in 2006.
This Jeep has been very good to us. It’s been great fun, giving us the freedom to pretty much go wherever any vehicle could go; from rough roads in the high country of Colorado to drives way up and down the beach in South Texas. Deep sand was never an obstacle; it was more like an opportunity.
The Jeep is still in great shape even though it has 150,000 driving miles and another 100,000 tow miles, but we’re moving on. It’s time for a different kind of car. We’ve gotten a nice smooth cushy Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
It will make a great tow-car as our adventures continue, and will be better suited for extended day-trips (on paved roads).
The interior is pretty cool.
All the seats fold up or down independently.
There is a compartment in the floor for each seat to fold into. With a push of a few buttons, we can turn it into an instant cargo van if we want (those middle seats fold down and disappear into the floor too).
The rear seats even flip around as stadium seats for birdwatching or oceanwatching.
We’ll probably like this for as many years as we’ve liked the Jeep!
The Minivan era begins for us today as we welcome in a New Year. Happy New Year everyone!
