Hey folks
You see where this is going. I would love your opinion on which platform you would start with and maybe a few pointers towards my MojaveWannabe.
I need a truck that's less about low and slow and more about sailing over forest tracks, long corrugated dirt roads, pot holes, and highway road trips to camp sites. It doesn't need to tow, or carry, too much weight. It does need to drive right.
In Australia, we don't have the Mojave and our Sport S doesn't have Tow Pack option, plus I'm a bit fancy pants, so the Sport S is out. The Overland and Rubicon are basically the same price ~$82/85k AUD respectively (~$65k USD) because the Overland has all the fruit optioned in, so, yeah.
I've gone down this forum's rabbit holes and think this might be about gearing... or suspension... or maybe Select-Trac vs Rock-Trac? I could use your help.
Where to start, Overland or Rubicon?
Side note on competitors, not many here, just the Ford Ranger Raptor for the same money. I test drove both but only the Jeep G made my fizzy bits fizzle so that's settled.
Thanks for any experience or considerations you can share.
