Wife's buying something new. She hates JL/Ts... Hoping to talk her into a 4 Runner....

Mission if you choose to accept, Talk a woman (that I'm hitched to so I have to listen to gripes about the purchase years from now) that hates Jeeps (They're too boxy blah blah) into a 4 runner instead. She's wanting to lease but wants payments around $400 AND she hates the $4000 down.

Trading in her 2016 Cherokee that's got 93K miles and has been a bit of a shit box....
Mission Impossible here....

Anyone got ideas? Anything out there thats comparable to the 4 runner/Wrangler? Maybe I should look at Broncos?

let her get whatever she wants/ likes. you have your toy, let her have one. she might end up with something you actually like too.

I tried that. We ended up with the Cherokee that way. I'm 6'1" so that cherokee is too small so I hate driving it and she's not "comfortable" in the gladiator.....

Did I mention she's a passenger princess? I'm liking the chloroform idea....

On a similar note, in early 2021 the wife was shopping vehicles and was leaning toward the Jeep Cherokee, every one we test drove was a dog(2.3 4 banger I think), saleswoman talked me into trying a Chevy Equinox with the 2.0T. I like that car, pretty sporty for a glorified minivan, and comfortable enough for my 6'3" ass. We wound up buying one from the left over 2020s. Only down side now is they discontinued the 2.0 in favor of 1.5s. I guess my moral is try something out of your comfort zone and see if you like it

I'd love to get her into a Landcruiser. The $55K base price is just on the other side of feasible

we had a second car forever and never drove it as we enjoy our jeep. the bride has been been looking at a cadillac xt6. then she saw the new jeep color "Earl". oh yeah, it is the 392 model. Lord help me!

Grand Cherokee. They constantly beat out other makes/models in snow and wintery weather, good safety numbers, etc.
My wife loved 'em for years - we had nothing but great luck with each of our Grand Cherokees, dating back to the ZJ through the WJ years through WK and WK2. Comfy, lots of space, reliable, really good mpg (she constantly got 24-25 mpg and around locally did even better)

I'd say check out a bronco, it's perfect for people who just want to look cool. Might be a bit expensive though depending on budget.

OH Lord help me! She's talking Subarus...... ?

I second the Broncos. I had a 23 Bronco Badlands. I loved it and if it wasn't for wanting to have a truck bed I would probably still have it. When my wife decided to get a new car I tried talking her into getting a Bronco but she ultimately decided on a Wrangler. The Broncos are very comfortable and come with as little or as many options as you want and start in $40K and go up depending on which trim and what options you want.
