    While the rear locker is a nice added benefit, but the fact that now the 4.10 gear ratio and 33s are on the Willys package, it gives current owners some food for thought. I have a 2021 Willys and have wheeled it quite a bit in stock form, but I like the idea that an upgrade may be worth it. Not sure if it is my eyes trying to fool me, but the fenders look like they are Rubicon height, which would be an added bonus.

      For 2024 the Willys does get 4.10 gears standard and a rear locker standard. Also, the Willys for 2024 now has the high clearance fenders just like the Rubicon. The tire size has also changed for 2024 to 285/70r17 (33”) the same as on the Rubicon. So, for 2024 the Willys gets some major upgrades/updates which make this model a solid choice for the money

    The fact that Jeep never offered the 5.7 as an optional power plant for roughly the same price as the diesel was a massive mistake. Every powertrain they have put in these cars over the past 15 years has been incredibly underwhelming, especially for what they charge… the 6.4 not withstanding but paying $75k for a jeep product is foolish at best.

      @@invictuscenturion8468 If by decent you mean generally reliable I’ll agree. It’s the only engine besides the latest generation 5.7 (non hybrid) that’s any good from the old FCA. Other than that it’s below industry average in every other way. If it were put in vehicles like the smaller Cherokee, Renegade, etc it would have plenty of power and in turn produce fantastic performance & fuel economy. However in the 4500lb+ land barges that are everything else Dodge/Ram/Jeep still makes it is underpowered, overworked, always in the RPMs to maintain anything above residential speed… and this returns awful industry trailing economy. If a vehicle with a 8 speed or larger transmission cannot maintain 60mph on an incline without edging past 2k RPM it absolutely needs more power or more gearing. The 3.6L N/A with the ZF transmission was stand out fantastic for 2014… going into 2024 it’s probably the most archaic and dated combination on the road with the possible exception of GMs 3.6/8-9 speed combo. Essentially vying for last place in a saturated market.

      Also, I had a Gladiator with the 3.6 and a Wrangler with the 3.0 Diesel… the Gladiator was probably the worst driving new vehicle I’ve ever owned, and while the diesel made the wrangler much better than the Gladiator in every performance dynamic the overall experience still wasn’t good enough to keep past a year.

    The best 2024 novelty - they dropped the nasty eTorque from all powertrains (unfortunately forgot to adjust the price down, cause that was the only reason V6 was 4500 instead of 2500. Adaptive cruise control and additional airbags- nice minor improvements, but other then that - not no real positive changes. Rear locker instead of limited slip dif - big mistake. People who need lockers need both front and rear, or none. 12 inch screen - useless junk. Shitty navigation on 8.4 inch, remained shitty here. Same old crappy seats are now powered - LOL. I manually adjusted my seat when I first bought it - never touched it again. Fabrics on the front dash - idiotic idea. People used to put fun decals to personalize their vehicles - no more. Crippled front grill. The floating rear axle that they advertised so much - turned out only for RubiconX, towing capacity is the same for the rest of the trims. Fuel efficiency went down 2-3 MPG (larger wheels). But the same jeep I bought in 2023 is now 10K more.

    ummmmm yeh folks, you want a V6 with automatic on a 2024??? you're going to have to go with the Rubicon. NO OTHER WAY TO GET THAT COMBO. Here's my take on it. They have lot's and lots of 2023 Wranglers to unload. So for the early 2024's they limit the V6 to the most expensive model. It makes the 2023 more attractive if you're looking for the V6 on lower end models. As expected Jeep corporate made another stupid decision and is only pissing people off. I drove the 2.0 turbo and it's zippy but the turbo whistles on hills and seems stressed with the weight of the Jeep. Also, the engine smelled like hot oil after the test drive. I'm certain the Turbo will have longevity issues, the engine will burn through oil like a 60 year old Volkswagen, the transmission is unchanged for the turbo....think about that one.
