I stopped counting after a while cause our Wrangler vs. FJ contest wasn’t even close. UG’s comment seems to sum up the general feeling:

If you plan to attack trails with your rig, go with the Jeep.
If you plan to attack speed bumps at the mall, go with the FJ.

Ouch. I noticed that it ended up on a few Jeep forums and at least one FJ board–maybe the Jeep guys are just more vocal. Anyway, I’ll try to pick a closer match-up next week. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Ford is letting the Ranger die a slow, miserable death, but there seems to be some hope for fans of small domestic pickups. GM is thinking of bringing the Holden Ute over from Australia and badging it as an El Camino. And Chrysler will be showing off the Wrangler JT at SEMA. So, if they both become available, which would you choose?
