Yeah a 5.7 would be sweet!

 

Decided to join the red team.

 

Nice.

 

Don't forget a kidney belt, Jeeps will beat the **** out of you. I had one for a while, most fun to drive and beat the hell out of your body vehicle I ever drove.

I'll keep my Ford that at least has some semblance of a decent ride.

 

As long as you're happy with the down grade, that's all that matters.

 

I can think of many aspects / uses where a new Jeep would be an upgrade, especially over a 2010

 

I can't think of anything they are better at on road. Now.. off road I can think of a few.

 

I like the Jeep Wranglers as they are probably the only 4x4 vehicles the fed gov't will still allow us to drop the front windshields on, lift off the doors on, and rip off the roof on, all in one fell swoop. Not as off-road capable as they once were, and not nearly as luxurious as my FX4 lux package is... BUT, I tip my hat at Jeep, as they (and the market that supports them) still exhibit some ***** when it comes to making fun 4x4s.

 

I won't argue with that. But I'm an old school, old fart so I still prefer the full size Bronco with the removable roof over the Jeep.

 

Agree with this. The two just don't really compare. I can see comparing a Ford to a Chevy or Dodge 1500, but a Jeep is apples to oranges with the 3.6 V6 being the only engine choice.

I had a '12 JKU that I was using as my DD. I sold it (traded, but long story) for an 06 Unlimited. Then got an '11 F150 to use as my daily driver. The 06 is only for wheeling now.

With the 5.0, I get better gas mileage than I do in my 06. The '12 was about the same gas mileage as my '11 F150.

Jeep is definitely a better 4x4 though. If I had to give up one, it would be the truck. If I wasn't going to wheel though, the Jeep would be gone. I hope you're planning to wheel the sh#t out of it lol.
