Hmmmm...thinking about a change

Yes all my F350 diesels over the years were great in snow. But I’m not dropping $100k on a truck anymore.

How muck for the Jeep RR

Under $50k. Be paid for before it’s worn out.

Taking this one for a drive on Saturday. 2022 new. Looks good!
V6, BFG all terrains.

Image buster and I think Badger's feeling would be hurt.

If it’s good enough for Gumby and Pokey, it’s good enough for me and Badger.

I like the V-6 better than the 4 banger with the turbo

Unless it fails the road test I may be driving it home Friday.

They are around and have heard good things. But after driving trucks for decades I don’t want a car. The Jeep is a good fit for me I think.

Is the one you are looking at a removable hardtop or a soft top? You had mentioned a soft top earlier. Soft tops are OK if they don't have plastic windows but I don't think they would be great with your winters.

I was looking at the windshield a little closer and it looks like it does fold down?? When I had my CJ the top was always off when it warmed up and unless I was driving at highway speeds the windshield was down.

I was looking for soft top originally. But this one has the removable hardtop option which is better for security anyway. Plus I’ll want to mount our canoe up there at times. So it’s all good. The panels over the driver and passenger come off separately so can still enjoy going topless.

Yes doors come off and windshield folds down too.

Does the Willys model have the off road prowess of the Rubicon?

Probably not, a new Rubicon with no added options is $84,290. 470hp hemi, advanced suspension.

Does it have the "Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect"?

Nope. Just the rubicon. But my off-roading is done on a horse anyway.
