My FIL just picked up a 96 Cherokee in GREAT shape. It does have the characteristic oils seepage at the rear seal and valve cover. But not much else wrong. It does have one thing that I have no clue about. Attached to the headliner between the visors is a factory sensor

How do the typical 1/4-ton pickups (F-150 etc) rate as long-distance freeway cruisers? If you were going to make half a dozen cross-country trips, hauling little more than yourself, what would you look for and what's to avoid? Opinions, of course!
