The new one is much improved...

Lifted with Mud tires? That’ll do it.
Even stock the Wrangler has always had a harsh ride, but like I said the new ones are somewhat better.

Gotcha. The Wrangler interior is not for me too. Even the “luxury” Sahara trim still a no-go.

Oh yeah, it sure can. if not, more money will. Seriously though... at a gathering, one successful elderly asked us... "what is happiness?" It's certainly not an easy question.

Believe that!

Any plenty of money will get any of the cars listed in this thread dressed out with the best options!

Money doesn't buy happiness at all, but it can make things a lot easier. I saw some meme that said "money doesn't buy happiness but I'd rather cry in a Lexus"--that was pretty funny.

I wonder which one will still be running in 20 years or have any remaining value in a few more years. I'm being facetious.

That's easy. But American trucks hold their value more than you might think. Underneath all the luxury layers they are solid workhorses. But noooooope, I wouldn't want to have to replace that Escalade's curved screen out of warranty. Whew.

Perhaps they do, but no way are they as capable or reliable as what is tantamount a Landcruiser. Choice is great though for those that don't mind replacing that curved screen 😁

American trucks are absolutely better at towing than a Land Cruiser. But yeah, that's about it.

I'd say that would be a $10,000 repair though. Considering that's 1/10th what the price is... not for me.

If you bought the most basic work truck you could it might have LC reliability.

I guess you got to pay to play. This is like watching TV directly vs. from an angle. Once you’re used to it, it feels very distant/isolated without it.

Money makes being miserable a lot easier lol.

And, reliability shmeliability lol. If I wanted reliability more than I wanted performance and features I would buy a Highlander.

People do buy the Sahara to get some “luxury” on their wrangler. Is that not true anymore? Not a jeep expert.

Some degree of "niceness" does not mean luxury. A Wrangler is not luxurious in any way.
