I need to think about replacing my '96 Trooper this year after 150K troublefree miles and I hate to shop for anything, much less go car shopping.
I am looking for a new vehicle(read leftover 2008) with a lot of interior room for Grandkids or cargo(small engines and/or many boxes) that has decent towing capacity(5000 lbs).
I want to stay away from the big three and would want something with no swing-up rear door to make it easy to move engines/transmissions in and out. Who makes one with the sliding rear roof access?
Any suggestions or experience?

Also, they made a turbo diesel for the Trooper's in 99+ Very rare, but they're bad ***. I'm doing a turbo diesel swap in my 86' one day. (got the engine, just need to do the swap) Still, the 3.5 gas burner in the 99+ is not too bad either. 99+ got a redesigned drivetrain. They were pretty advanced for their time. I'd say their on par with any 08 big 3 easy.
