I have a 1997 Wrangler that I've had since new.
Look any Jeep over real well, especially underneath to see if there is any evidence of off road abuse, damage, etc.
I would not buy an inexperienced driver any vehicle that has been lifted or has other off road modifications to the sway bars, track bars, control arms, etc.
My jeep is a two door model and I've never towed anything with it. If you get a 4 door model it should have a higher tow capacity due to the longer wheel base.
They are fun vehicles to drive around town or offroad, but not much fun on the freeway or long trips.
