Yeah, I sold my truck for $500 more than I paid for it and it was 5.5 years old.

Jeeps are shite mechanically and are trash driving on pavement. But good for you.



Eh, had mine for 24 years now, it's been extremely reliable. And I offroaded it monthly for 14 years...drove it daily until 3 years ago. Rides great on 35s with 4.88 gears. Gas mileage is shite, though.

Are Jeeps still considered Baw vehicles or not?

I’ve owned two wranglers, didn’t learn my lesson the first time. Out of the 16 vehicles I’ve owned in my life nothing else required as many repairs and it wasn’t even close, even worse than a Volvo. The road noise in the Gladiator is like being in a giant blender, no thanks.


I’m on vehicle number 13. My gladiator has minimal road noise, even running the 35” KM3’s.

Both of my Jeep’s have been more reliable than any of the VW’s, Fords, etc I have owned.

I sold my Wrangler and bought a Tacoma. Best decision I’ve ever made. That includes marry my wife.



Well that's because unlike the OP's claim, the Tacoma is actually is one of the overall best vehicles the average consumer can get their hands on.

GF Drives a Rav 4 and I a Camry(commute and all).

I never said a Tacoma wasn't a good vehicle. It is one of the top for holding their value (#2), but the wrangler is top

All of you jeep haters don't realize that a wrangler is the best vehicle to buy.

I was hell bent on buying a new Ford Bronco but came to the realization that I would not get one for another two years.

My Bronco surprisingly got scheduled to be built this December.

I went out and ordered a Gladiator. I'm sure I will get most of my money back when I decide to sell it.


Yeah ok
The bubble is going to pop and you’re immediately going to be $15k over market value.
I looked at trading my jeep in today and shut my laptop in laughter. New rubicon’s going for over $60k

I have a 2018 Willys JK 2 door I bought new in Feb 2018 just before the Jls and our local dealer was running 5k off the few Jks they had left. Bought mine for 29K and just paid it off last month. I took it in for an oil change and while I was waiting they offered me 27k on a trade in. Thinking seriously about taking them up on a new Rubicon for that rediculous offer.

I paid $20,000 (before taxes) for a 2010 Tundra crew cab w/ 36,500 miles on it. Like new, not base but not top model.

It got destroyed by IDA, insurance gave me $18,500 w/ 225,000 miles on it.
