And that is a HIGHLY subjective opinion from someone who is justifying their purchase rather than doing actual research on issues.

There you go, making more statements with zero knowledge to back them up. I don’t need to justify my purchases to any empty voice on the internet. Your statement about the post ‘24 JTs on the other hand is absolutely baseless. Of course YOU don’t need to qualify your opinion, except when you try to pass it on as factual.

Great question!
Post 43 explains the two biggest issues for me.
Would have saved about $5K or so buying a good used version.
$5K that would have gone into enhancements rather than fixes, which may or may not ever materialize.
Making a good vehicle better is fun. Fixing a mfgs failures isn't. Hence my preference for the '22-'23.

I thought most people liked the new screen. I don't have any experience with it.

The packages and options availability is annoying.

I think the biggest advantage with your newer model is your warranty. All '22 models and many '23 models will be out of the 3/36 warranty.

It's funny. I started PM'ing folks who posted that they liked the screen. Hoping that they weren't having issues with it. Low and behold everyone who responded said, yeah it has issues, but they just don't really care.
Was disappointed because I was hoping it was just my truck.

Jeep now has a 10 year 100,000 mile extended warranty available for a pretty reasonable price. With the cost of components alone that is a pretty alluring option for those who keep a vehicle for a while, or put a lot of miles on.
They also added rear seat side air bags and increased the structural side protection according to the Car and Driver review I read. For folks carrying family and friends that makes an already very safe vehicle even more safe.

There are a lot of good reasons to buy new.

More drivel.

When I bought my JT, I consulted a "friend of a friend" (Rick Pewe). He said "it's simple" - that if I wanted to go fast in the dez, buy the Mojave. If I wanted to crawl over nasty $#!@ to get where I wanted to get to, buy a Rubicon. I ended up with the Rubicon. Super happy with my choice over the Mojave. Eventually lifted and put on 35's. Perfect for me.

Exactly, do your research, and then buy for purpose, not badges...
