Just got to work after trading in my somewhat stock 2021 Willys for a fairly loaded 2024 Willys. Any "must not miss" things, specifically in teh UConnect area? Haven't had much cockpit time with it to muck around with the bells and whistles.

Got a pretty decent trade in and 10% under invoice plus more off, decided I'd go back to a payment so, don't want to miss out.

Went from black gloss to Fireengine Red, both with hard tops. Sunrider will go on the new ride come spring.

Where are the pics?

I'm giving some thought to looking at another new one later this year, if there are good end of year specials.

Check your payload sticker, I just got sent one on a 2024 Willy's (I'm trying to buy) and it was 893 lbs. That's four 185lb people leaving about 150lbs for gear and tongue weight. Just not usable for my needs.

My 2023 Wiilys has 899 lbs payload which seems low but I just did a big road trip with me and my wife.
I have a cap which weghs about 150, gear about 400 and the 2 of us about 400. Total around 950.
It felt fine and only had an 1 inch of squat. Looked at the bump stops and lots of room.
I drove fine no bottoming out at all even on back roads.
It seems under rated.

Yea I believe Wranglers and Gladiators are underrated. But that’s because they are an all terrain vehicle, designed for off road adventures, that are more difficult that pavement when empty, but especially loaded. The military vehicles come with two different ratings, one for normal road travel, the other tactical over land travel off road. Whatever their rating is means in off road conditions. Oh yeah I was born in Central Falls.
