hello all, I have a small dilemma on my hands. My father gifted me his spare 05 jimmy 2 months ago and I couldn't be more happier with it in the snow. Now my father in law is gifting his 05 crv to my wife, he is retired and drives a newer crv. They are both down sizing hence the free vehicles. Only problem is my wife says we only have room for 1, so I have to choose.
I don't plan on offroading any of these, Im sure both will do good in the snow, which is probably my main concern. Driving the Jimmy ive already know the pros and cons to it, mainly gas mileage, I know nothing of the crv's awd system. Quick google search only real problem is the rear diff sheers the diff fluid fairly quickly if not using honda's "dual pump" fluid.
In terms of service history, the Jimmy sat for 5 years, but we did a full tune up, and changed all the fluids. The 05 crv, probably just the oil is changed regularly, so Id change the atf, brake, coolant and diff fluids as well.
Anyone want to chime in?
