To those of you who have been able to drive two or more of the trim levels of the JT: I'd love to hear your thoughts on how they differed in handling and ride, to what extent, any significant feelings, etc.

I recognize what the different components of each trim SHOULD do; I'm looking for feedback from those who've actually driven them.

On-road, I should say.

Thanks guys and girls.

I have gotten to drive a rubicon and a sport S with the max tow package (so both with 4.10 gearing). First I'll say that I loved them both! I felt the sport S was a tad bit more peppy, which i guess it should be considering it doesn't weigh as much. They also were both hard tops. As far as how it handled with road feel I personally thought it felt the same. I will get to drive a Sport S with the 3.73 gearing today after work as they just got one in this morning.... and I will Drive an Overland when they get another one in and don't sell it before i get there (which has happened with the last few they have had in). I currently drive a 2018 JLU Sahara on 33"s with 3.45 gearing. I think our Sahara has a lil more pep then both of the Gladiators but I believe that has to do with the gearing as well as the weight... I can't wait to get one!!! Hope this helps some...
