I just crossed measly 30k in my ‘23 JTRD. I love this truck just as much as the day I bought it. It’s my daily with many 2-hr trips to and from work averaging 23mpg at 70-80mph. The vehicle’s eco diesel drivetrain and ZF transmission are so smooth and capable. This vehicle has been flawless which can’t be said about the 2020 Honda I owned previously or the 2015 MB we’ve owned for 10 years. Each of those vehicles seem to be in the shop every 10k miles. A lot of enjoyment has been the ability to work on this Jeep due to the amazing people/knowledge found in this forum. I know it’s always easy to b!tch about Stellantis and Jeep but my experience has been one of the best ownership experiences I’ve had…and my kids LOVE this truck! I hope all of you have similar experiences!

24-25K on my '23 now. Zero issues. Still like it a lot. Been able to take a couple trips and do some overlanding and off-roading, hopefully more in the future.

I'm creeping up on 42k miles on my '22 JTRD, I get about the same 23-25 mpg, 19-22ish pulling my camper. Only issue I've had was a weird tiny part in the driver sun visor broke and it fell out of the overhead.......Of course, It's a whole assembly, so I had to reprogram my garage door buttons, but that was warranty work so meh......I love it, and my nieces love it and the ducks, so I'ma keeping it for a good long time.

Cannot agree more, mine is approaching 30 k miles.

No issues and everytime I start the car it makes me smile.

Any problems?
I had an electrical problem with the valve body in the transmission reverse and it was cheaper to replace it . So I did that started about 95k finally all the stars aligned and got it replaced at 130k
Engine ,water pump at 118k . Rest of anything I have done has all just been renewal / upgrade tune up efforts .

After right and left side rebuilt, engine is still misfiring. Dealership was asking insurance company for new motor, but we'll see what the investigation determines.
