I work on the road.. 200-300 miles a day so I want something that isn't terrible on milage and comfortable.
I drive my hubbys jacked up dodge ram 4x4 when my car is giving me probs and its pretty comfy, but the diesel prices kill me.
I like the 4 door jeeps a lot

jeeps are great for what they are. I will be restoring an old CJ soon. That being said you need to stick to a nice relievable car SS.
IF you are doing up to 300 miles per day on the road you need something that is designed for good gas mileage and stability at highway speeds. Jeeps are not as safe or stable as a good mid sixed car at highway speed over 50 due to the high center of gravity and relatively low weight compared to other high center gravity vehicles.

Ms. Nimble has a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Edition.
The vehicle is 2WD with the V8 Hemi. It gets around 22-23 mpg on the highway (Beltway 8 in Houston). Test drives included 4-runners, Lexus, and Pilots. We liked the Jeep the best out of those.
It rides better than the 4-Runner and is quieter. It has more power than any of the above as well. We have a friend that bought a Pilot, and it is a nice vehicle but I don't like the seats.
We have had zero issues with the vehicle. The cooled leather seats are nice in Houston. B.R. weather and heat is just as bad so the seats will be nice there also.
If you are getting one, negotiate in the roof racks and the cargo pad for the back.
