These sales figures are not flattering.
While Jeep is up 2%, the overall market is up 5.5%. Worse, Stellantis as a whole is down 10%.
More factoids:
Hyundai-Kia outsold Stellantis by 44,000 units

Jeep outsold Subaru by only 4,000 units

It was a dealer installed Mopar lift. If the dealer doesn't know/cannot install a Mopar lift, and will not honor the Mopar guarantee, then there is no point of buying a Mopar lift. A key part of buying Mopar parts is so that Jeep and its dealers will honor the warranty.

I had the dealer install a Mopar lift on my 2018 JL Sahara. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't got with the Mopar lift.
The ride was smooth and the articulation excellent, but I encountered too many issues:
The Jeep came home with the front axle off center by 1.5 inches. I swapped...
Why don't I drive naked?
I live in the PNW - on average the weather here is conducive to driving naked a total of 60 days/year, and they are not always consecutive. Even when the weather gets sunny, it is not necessarily sufficiently warm to drive al fresco comfortably

Yeah, the 2024s have the fancy windshield and those side air curtains, which would need to be replaced at great expense in case of an accident.
Part of my decision for getting a 2023 instead of a 2024, in addition to the sweet deals, was getting a comparatively simpler vehicle.
Gave the truck a thorough cleaning inside and out, following a road trip to the Cariboo region of British Columbia.
It was very muddy; I hosed about 50 lbs of mud off the undercarriage.
My other car is a 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth.
The car barely weighs 2,400 lbs; has exotic Italian looks, a tiny 1.4T engine that punches above its weight (170HP), a mean sounding exhaust and a slick 6-speed manual transmission. The car is a total hoot to drive.
I got my Gladiator two-and-a-half months ago. I got a sweet deal (26% OFF MSRP) but still felt it was a LOT of money. As it turns out, the more I drive this truck the more I like it, which makes it easier to deal with the sticker shock.
Per insurance premiums, they are going up across the...
I'm fine with the Pentastat V6. I've had it in numerous vehicles over the years: 2012 JKUR, 2013 JKR, 2014 JKU Sahara, 2015 JKU Sahara, 2018 JLU Sahara, and now this 2023 JTR. It's never given me any issues; it only keeps getting quieter and smoother.
Get a jack base and be done.
It is lightweight and stores under the rear seat.
