Contenu
Often the brand name Jeep--a domestic car company owned by DaimlerChrysler--is used to describe almost any SUV, whether or not its a Jeep. The iconic four-wheel drive military-type vehicle has, according to Edmunds, a loyal following. However, if for some reason youd like to own a car that looks like a Jeep but isnt a Jeep, there are several makes and models to choose from, both domestic and foreign. These smaller vehicles still have excellent towing capacity and a good deal of storage for whatever you need to haul. With a shorter body and a narrower profile, these vehicles are a good substitute for the dimensions of a Jeep without sacrificing any of the quality. What you do sacrifice, however, is that telltale grill that makes a Jeep a Jeep.
