They used to be alright before the 2000's but I have had three and learned that yes, they can go forever (the inline sixes were a good motor but I still managed to crack that block) but you end up having to do so much repair. And lifting them just exacerbates the issues.
I just drive a proper truck now for off road and pulling the trailer and then I just drive an old beater of a civic as a daily. The civic I have had for like 8 years now and its got over 300K on and the most I had to do to it was replace a bumper and hood from when I nailed a deer and also oil changes.
I do miss my Cherokee though
