B White: I don't know what you are plowing, residential or commercial accounts, but I would not say that the wrangler is not plow worthy. I have had three Wrangler Sports all with front and rear plows on them. They are hands down, my favorite plow trucks I have ever operated. Even over my loaded 7.4 liter Sierra's, I like plowing with the Wranglers better.

Over the years, I have blown three transmissions, one because it was a shoddy job the first time around. 3 tranny's in 15 combined years of plowing with them, is not a bad record, IMO.

I set each truck up with proper suspension upgrades, etc. 6'6 Western Standard plows on the front 84" plows on the rear. I have plowed large lots(7 acre's) with 4" of snow on the ground and they have handled them when asked too. I do all residential plowing now, and will state this, you can't beat a jeep with a front and rear plow for residentials, period. If your jeep is a back up truck for some small commercial accounts, would I hesitate using it, no way. If all you do is large, wide open lots, the jeep would not make the best choice.

Just my two cents worth.

My year Wranglers: 1999, 2001 and 2003 All Jeep sports(4.0) hard tops. Good shocks and timberens and your good to go!

I will be buying two new ones for next year. I have wanted to upgrade to the Rubicon package, but always thought it was a steep price to pay, roughly $6,000 or more than the Sport or X. But if your worried about performance and ruggedness the Ruby is your Jeep.

I say give a Wrangler a shot. I have been in 24" storms with these Jeeps and they won me over for sure. I will say that after 89k on my 2001(I use if for personal use), that the truck has lost a little power over the years, but still does the job well. But if you buy one new or used with low miles, you will be shocked at how much snow it will push and drag!
