2020 to 24 upgrade?

[CaptLongshore12]

Just curious how many of you have had a 2020-23 and made the move to a 2024 with the interior and grill refresh? I leased a 2020 sport s in 2019 and really loved it. I regrettably turned it in. I’m really considering getting into a 24’ Willy’s while there’s still deals to be had. What are your experiences if you’ve gone from a 20 to a 24/25?

I love the 24s. I added interior lights a few days ago and was surprised at the sound deadening added. It’s a quieter ride and improved safety. It was worth it for me.

I leased my 2020 too because it was a stupid good lease deal on a $55k MSRP Jeep. Sign and drive, 15k/yr and $500/mo including taxes and fees. When my lease was up, it was worth like $10k more than the residual value. I thought about trading it in on a 23 and use the equity for a down payment and financing the remainder (leases suck now). I ended up buying my 2020 and now I’m glad I did. I’m seeing so many issues on the Stellantis built Jeeps. Mine was FCA/pre-covid 11/19 built.

I traded a 2020 sport on a 24 mojave. Love the power leather seats. Really comfortable on a drive for 3 hours.
The big screen is okay. Just seems to big to me. Still getting used to it. It's very bright at night even on low setting.
The rest is all goodies for mojave. Locker etc. So far 3500 miles in I am loving it.

I was against the redesign of the 24s, the lighter color dash is horrible, but I looked at trading in my Mojave for a 24 JLU Rubicon yesterday day. I really liked it after driving it. The deal didn’t workout, but now I am totally open to the 24 design. Still don’t really care for the bigger screen though, but definitely has an updated feel to it.

Went from a 2022 to a 2025. I think the seats are better overall quality. Head unit and Uconnect 5 is also better.

Not really much else.

Are you sure it wasn't the awesome suspension?

 

[ScottBeach]

Maybe. The lumbar support is great it's a smooth ride.

Supposedly they took care of some of the wind sound - is that the case?

With a bone stock Overland, the ride is about the same on the roads and highways around here. I didn't really note much difference other than the Mojave felt a bit more "planted" - possibly the width and tire size?
But for going over road imperfections, tracks, pot holes and so on, didn't really notice much difference on the test drive.
MAYBE with more time in one, I will. 15 minute drives aren't all-telling.

Supposedly the UConnect was all re-written by Samsung if I recall - faster processing and speed and responses.

I'm switching mostly due to the power seats and the added technology since on road trips it's usually two of us, often switching driving roles, and two phones connected in and all.

Nothing that I could really tell.

Just curious as this is floating around about the Wranglers for 2024 - an online article -

"To deliver a more quiet and comfortable ride, the High Altitude, Rubicon X and Rubicon 392 comes with a standard premium cabin package that comes with thicker carpet, acoustic front glass, and sound deadening foam in the windshield header, front cowl, and B-pillars."

They supposedly put foam sound deadening in the windshield frame and pillars.

I got the base model Sport, so I probably did not get any of those goodies.

Are they more comfortable?

I think they are. Lumbar and side bolsters seem more firmer. The cloth seems of better quality vs. what I remember on my 2021 WILLYS JT.

Oops, I forgot that model fits your needs better. Should have caught that.
