Not surprising... Although the technology package is lacking, I'd still go with a 4Runner

They’ve basically released the profile.
It’s nice and blocky like the pre 78 models.

Nothing like a Jeep. Never was, never will be.

Rubicon is boss.

I’ve had good service out of Ford products.
Let’s not pretend Jeep is pushing Honda fir reliability rankings.

Why the obsession over manual?

Why would you choose an inferior option?

my wife is on her 2nd wrangler 4-dr, she put over a 100K on the first one and is now pushing 150K on the second one, without any major mechanical or cosmetic failures. the fiat/jeep is a good vehicle that earns it's price tag in re-sale

that said, i've re-built a 74 bronco and am in progress on an 80 bronco. if the new one is...

-2 doors
-manual transmission
-solid axle

...i'd wait

What if I told you that I don’t find it to be an inferior option?

I enjoy driving a manual.

Since I won’t be using this as a commuter, I want to get all the enjoyment possible for my $.

If I was driving in traffic on the reg, I wouldn’t want a manual.

Not really sure I agree with that definition, but whatever. It's a different driving experience, not really being old timey.

That's certainly not a universal truth.
