    You’re not the target then and you shouldn’t have been in a wrangler. A wrangler is a body on frame, solid front and rear axel vehicle. It’s going to naturally ride like dog shit, and the materials on the interior are shit because they’re made to get dirty and be washed out (literally with a hose) and have the top off with the California sun beating on them 24/7. The usability is awful for the same reason. Everything is water resistant and built for off road use.

    Space… well that’s because it’s body on frame. They’ve always been awful at usable interior space due to that.

    Lastly, they’re expensive because literally no one else makes a body on frame SUV with a solid rear axel, let alone a solid front too. Those pieces also cost a ton to keep legally on the road and they have to purchase carbon credits just to certify them.

      Is the G wagon not a body on frame design? I think the Ineos is one too

        G wagen is body on frame, but with IFS. IFS basically completely changes how it handles on road for the better. INEOS is also body on Frame, and solid front and rear. However it starts at like double the cost of a wrangler and is really more of a luxury off road we. Money can solve a lot of problems that a wrangler can’t have.

        And the Toyota 4runner, Sequoia and Land Cruiser, the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada. There’s plenty of body on frame SUVs to choose from.
