I’m sad to say that I’ve been in conversations with people that have said a number of foolish and ignorant statements before I ever owned my Mojave. So, why would I be surprised to continue to hear new foolish and ignorant things after I purchase a new midsized truck (a Mojave) from people who don’t stop to ask what qualities I was looking for in a vehicle (easier to park in narrow spots for my occasional requirement to work downtown, a handy pickup box, easy open sky conversion (sun rider), off roading entertainment, etc)? As well, it’s always a bit amusing to reflect upon the types of foolish and ignorant statements that come from people who’s eyes are closed to their own foolishness that they choose to live with in their life. So, why be guided or triggered by a fool who can’t seem to help themselves?
Still, I’d like to continue to see improvements and I’d appreciate the option of a V8 regardless of the politics. I actually started a thread asking about rumors as I figured it would be a nice sweet spot for a few of us likeminded to pin conversations about it to. Still, in some ways, it turned into a debate about EV and turbo six and other stuff that I frankly don’t care about. Simply put, some would like a v8 option like a 5.7, but if you don’t, then move on. For all the reasons Jeep wasn’t going to do it, they also reversed their position and put a big monster in the wrangler likely due to market pressures. So, it could happen with the JT too.
Btw, I previously drove a 2018 Xlt super crew 4wd 3.5 eco. It was a good truck in many ways, but it was also larger than what I needed MOST of the time. I honestly preferred it a bit more on the highway over long trips, but I’ve since gotten accustomed to the seemly lesser luxury of my Mojave on my occasional highway trips. As for the majority of my in town driving, I certainly prefer the Mojave’s supple suspension to a pothole strike as well as the very enjoyable cruising to stops throughout town. So, for my pros and cons calculation, the Mojave is the better choice for me at the present.

) It is at least 85% easier to park and drive through small towns/cities etc.. My wife will even drive it, no question and she drives a '71 Super Beetle.
