im looking to get a tow car the sprinter. and i wanted to know what everyone else has.

also i was looking to get a 4x4 as the tow car (and so i can go 4wd driving) and was looking at the land rover discovery and Jeep cheeroke (spelling) both around 1993-96 models. ive got about $5000 for the car to spend and there both around that price. but all ive read is that both cars are pretty unreliable is this true. or unless someone has an another 4x4 to suggest.
