Hey all

I would like to rent a jeep for the day to do the park. We did it once in our truck and it's was a little rough.

Were looking to have a comfortable ride in an open top jeep.

Any suggestions on a rental company with jeeps available this week?

A 4X4 will not increase your ride at all. RWD pickup is all you need. Clearence is the most important aspect. Just slow down and enjoy...

I agree. A Jeep is just going to enhance your chances of not having to stop for repairs. But they are not made for comfort, at all.

I think that with a jeeps short wheel base, this makes the ride no better than a rear wheel drive pickup. If it is possible to rent a longer wheel base vehicle on Bonaire that has four wheel drive low, then the ride would be greatly improved. I speak from experience having driven on roads in Colorado that make the park roads in Bonaire seem like a super highway. I haven't seen this type of vehicle on Bonaire for rent; but, if improved ride is what you want then that is what you want. With Rancho shocks included, would be even better!
