If you want to go really big, a company called SOL Model is coming out with a resin 1/16 scale Willys MB jeep.  It will include resin and photo etch parts, and according to the company, it'll be out in October.

The hasegawa jeep is was last available in the egg girls series, it comes with 2 resin girls and has some Japanese style graphics but is still the military version otherwise. hlj or 1999 might be the best bet for finding one

Hasegawa did one version of its 1/24 scale Jeep with a pretty nice utility trailer.  That was kit #20221, released in 2005, so eBay is probably the only source for that one. At least unless Hasegawa decides to re-issue it.

You can also find the Hasegawa 1/24 Jeep in a Cyber Hobby (Dragon) box, shown below.  That's Cyber Hobby kit #43247, an armored Jeep from the Battle of the Bulge.  It has photo-etched parts from Voyager, including a radio and the armor plates. This kit also has a nice big Cartograf decal sheet.  It's also long out of production.

Glancing at reviews of the various 1/24-25 Jeep kits, some builders love the Hasegawa Jeep and others hate it. FWIW, the general consensus is that the old Italeri 1/24 scale Jeep is still the best kit available.
