Finally had the chance to test drive a few JTs this week. Dealer had a '20 Mojave and some '21 Sports -
Driving the Mojave was surprisingly disappointing, as it was the trim level I was most excited about. It was all over the road, holding the steering wheel with a death grip both hands to keep it in my lane. I read about the TSB for 2020 models but I never expected it to be that bad. Afterwards, we hopped in a 2021 Sport and it was night and day. Tracked straight down the road, could steer it at 70mph with my pinky finger. (also was a lot quieter, but I am sure that is attributed to the tires).
So with all that being said, would it be safe to assume my bad expereince with the Mojave is simply due to the TSB for the 2020 models? If that is the case, maybe I need to wait until more '21s hit dealer lots. Of course the salesman had no idea about the TSB and blamed the Mojave driving dynamics on the tires (which i refuse to believe).
I know there is a TSB, but the last thing I want to do is buy a Jeep that needs fixing right after I buy it.
