what everyone's opinion on the wk? i was looking at buying one today. pros and cons?

I have one, its great, monster in the snow. not the best fuel economy though, like at all.
The mercedes drivetrain is great, the one problem, is the trans adapter plug for the wiring harness is notorious for leaking, and leaking into the trans harness.
My cost on a plug is like 8 bucks though, so its not a big deal.
I had to put a conductor plate in mine, which is what connects all the trans solenoids, pretty common also, but not a huge deal.
At 70k mine needs front struts also. Not sure if its common, but kind of sucks.
Otherwise, its been great, comfortable, lots of room, power is ok (3.7)
I dont think that theres really another suv that I would buy over it.
If I wanted to spend more Id buy a v8, which this may actually get traded for at some point.

I was looking at buying a loaded limited WK before I found the power wagon. They're nice and really comfortable on the inside. I would say go for it, they aren't even all that much money anymore

The V8 is a pig on gas...but that thing is a monster in the snow...roomy as well..good for carting shit around if you don't have a truck.
