OP, which way are you leaning and why? Inquiring minds...

Spot freakin’ on…

Agree.

The Mojave can do about 80-90% the trails the Rubicon could off the showroom floor and remain more polite on road.

Ultimately the payment is not a major difference if you're financing it.

A new Mojave X is mid-50s and new Willys or Sport S is mid-40's. With 10% down over 60 months at 4.99% we're talking about a delta of about $135 every month. And if the X package isn't of interest, Mojaves can be had in the mid-upper 40's.

Everyone has opinions. You need to decide what are the must haves, and what you can compromise on. Best bang for the buck is the Willys. Sport S with Max Tow is the next on the bang for the buck. Top dog would be Mojave. But based on what you said you are looking to do, any model will fit the bill. You just need to decide what you want to narrow it down.

My current F150 has over 142,000 miles and runs like the day I took delivery of it. It had a wheel bearing replaced at 85,000 miles. That's it. It's proven itself to me. I would absolutely buy another 2.7L w/ the 10R80. It's one of the most reliable power trains on the market, currently. The Tremor has been confirmed for Fall of 2026.

Good and i understand don't get me wrong. The older fords where boring as hell but great work trucks. Modern ones i would not touch with a 10 foot pole . I just cant trust Ford lately and would like even look in that direction with my money. Nope. The recall kings and i highly doubt they are getting any better.
