The worst:3.6 engine is trash. At 109,000 miles, a connecting rod broke, busting out the side of the engine and upper oil pan. There is also an unexplainable hairline crack in the engine block that looks as if it’s been there a long time.
Still owe over $30,000 on a truck that needs a @$15,000 engine replacement.
The best:It's the dream vehicle (a Jeep) that I've always wanted since getting my license - only took 40 years.
It tows my travel trailer well and has been very relialble around town and on two road trips.
Has met my expectations.
The worst:1. Gas mileage: City use is actually running just under 16mpg. Highway roadtrips obviously climb higher, closer to 20mpg. The window sticker states 23 highway/17 city. Yea, right.....
2. The windshield rake. In the 706 days that I've had "Max" I've paid to put three windshilds in (two were Gorilla glass - which I recommed wholeheartedly). Almost every JT or JK that I pass has a cracked windshield, there is just NO BOUNCING a rock off of a windshield standing at around 80degrees.
