Not true really. Sorta depends. For rubicons we can use a small spare with open diffs. So we can add a 37” spare while we wait for a new one, assuming it couldn’t be patched. This goes for Mojave’s too, since they have 1 open diff.
Its just so people understand what they're buying.
Sell a base model Mustang and then make that same model but add leather and some wheels to it...its still just a base model mustang with leather and wheels...even if they call it a Mustang "Plus".
I still use the model names when talking...
Mechanically its a Sport yes. Base package axle assemblies, base package transfer case, base fenders, base sway bars...Its a Sport model with lipstick.
I'm not saying it to be insulting either, its just true. Clearly the "Overland" is there to be an aesthetically pleasing and tad more comfort...
There's only 3 models.
Rubicon
Mojave
Sport
The rest of them are just Sport models with sticker/interior packages. So unless you want to high speed offroad or want the best ride..the Mojave is off the table. Now...do you need or want lockers or the look of the Rubicon? If not then any model...
If you're worried about pennies lost on depreciating objects like cars...then "penny wise and dollar dumb" comes to mind.
Especially those of us with no plans to ever sell, so the entire expense(s) is sunk anyway. ;)
