debating between these two



not interested in cars. Would prefer a ext cab truck but cant afford a truck and a tonneau cover, so gonna just wait till im older to invest in that as a toy. Wondering what you guys think about me being able to fit about 2 pairs of skiis 2 boards in either of these trucks with 4 people inside, or will i need to invest in a thule.

my problem between the 2 is that i actually like the jimmy more, except that the jeeps interior is much nicer and seems much comfier, also it seems like the jeep would have more space if the back seats fold down for me to sleep

id have a mechanic coming with me to look at it, but i want input from other skiers on what theyd choose for road trips with 3-4 maybe 5 friends if i get the jeep, and some over nighters (overnighters being me alone most likely). i also figured the jimmy would be better on gas since it seems smaller and its 5 years newer.

the pictures of the jeep look like they were taken on a cell phone in the 90s

Think about gas mileage.


Honestly if both cars are decent enough. Go with the one that isn't going to get 12 miles to the gallon. You'll be smiling all day if you're getting near or over 30 mpg.

I'm gonna go with that the blazer has better mpg but the comfortability and space in the jeep seems to outweigh that factor for me even though I like the blazers exterior a lot morÉ
