Also wait, doesn’t the Willys trim come with LEDs?
They also have two levels of willys ... at least on the JL they did. One with LEDs and one without

All of this Jeep pricing shit, just a small sliver of which is discussed above, is rapacious profiteering of inestimable proportion. That and the yawner engine options keep me away from those things.

If you don't value removable roof and doors, JL/T makes minimal sense compared to other things IMO.

I don't value those things, but I look at a JT far more longingly than any other non full size truck.

Well, they are cool. It is not a quantifiable thing, but a JT is cool, a Ranger is not.

I do not understand the sale of a single Ranger. They are hideous.

Blind brand loyalty is all I can figure. There's zero other reason to buy a Ranger. The powertrain (2.3T and 10-speed) is decent, that's about it.

I think the 2.3/10 speed is fabulous combo. Best in the Biz IMO. If you're anti Toyota because of Pearl Harbor. The Ranger makes a lot of sense. It is a solid 15-20k cheaper than a JT, and unless you want the roof off it'll do everything you want. I don't find it to be more hideous than the Chevy offering..

Well, that's the tarted up "Tremor"...............The more stripper versions look atrocious. Plus this forum has, through continual reinforcement, convinced my that all Ford products that are NOT a GT or GT500 are pieces of garbage.

Ford has introduced some interesting products..
Bronco Sport is pretty good..
Bronco is coming... The ranger while boring seems fine as a truck. And yes I am showing a non white contractor longbed 2wd truck because who the fuck gets that in a lifestyle vehicle.

If I were into the "small" truck thing I think I would get a Tacoma.

After that it would be JT > Frontier > Chevy/GMC > Ranger. The not want comes on pretty hard once you get past the :jeep: .
