8000 mile report Rubicon diesel. First 3700 miles were on the stock Mud terrains rest on 37 12.5 17 Goodyear MTR. I’ve had no issues of any kind with the truck. It’s been flawless in everything I’ve asked of it Been over the Rockies twice with it, all kinds of desert and mountains four wheeling Nary-a glitch of any kind. Fuel mileage has been hovering around 24 average though on road trips it moves up to 28. Interestingly I did 176 mile off-road run through the Panamint and saline valleys with a 2021JT gasser and used exactly 25% less fuel. Love the soft top, I actually use the truck bed every single day. Holds 5 people On a 12 Hour Rd. trip no problem. Only thing I wish it had more fuel capacity. Only Gremlin is with the controls on start up, occasionally you have to wait a moment for any of the stereo and steering wheel controls to respond. Steering is very precise though it feels Different than my 17 jk.Soft top is very quiet, and so easy to take down I use it constantly.. As stated other places on this Forum Diesel JTs nail the front bump stops more often than their Gas cousins. My fix for that is going to be Gas/Bumpstops and a one inch lift.(Jks acos pro). So far I would order this truck again, especially if you could delete all the steering wheel and a/c controls and revert back to simple switches. Def has been a non issue , used 6 gal so far. The four wheel drive system, lockers etc have worked perfectly. I do like the offroad button that eliminates the safety nannies. Oh Yeah used Motul Xclean for first oil change. This is allready too long so there it is. Jeep on!
