Looking at one as a hunting car...I like the high ground clearance and the space in it.

It has well under 100.000 mileage..

What are the pluses and minuses of these cars..?

Never owned one but knew of one that a single mother owned that put 400,000 plus miles on without major trouble. If it has had regular lube service and care I wouldn't be afraid of it. As far as how well it goes through snow and stuff, I don't know.

I have to ask WHICH 4.0 liter engine?

There are two, the 1990-2000 "OHV (Pushrod) engine, and the 1998 introduced Over head Cam engine.

Both have their advantages and weak points
