2 weeks in.
Two weeks now since getting my 21 2.0T JLUR. Figured I’d add some thoughts. I had an 06 TJ about 12 years ago. So going based off what I remember from that.
- the road manners are 10x better than my TJ was. Still handles like a barn but overall ride quality is so much better. Which is good since I have a family now
- love the power from the 2.0T. My 06 couldn’t get out of its own way (got passed going up hill by a dump truck filled with rocks while I was WOT lmao). Has great low end torque and passing power when I need it but is also really well behaved in the MPG department when you’re nice to it. It also sounds like a tractor which I personally love.
-The 8 speed is fantastic, a bit clunky when cold but a great transmission and worlds better than the 42RLE I had in the TJ.
Most importantly. My family loves it, especially my daughter. She’s now always asking for jeep rides and to “let her hair go crazy” which makes me so happy. Cause I traded in a 2023 civic for this and never got “can we go for a ride in the Civic?” 😂. It was a great car don’t get me wrong, but it’s nice to have something fun again!
