I'm with Austin on this one, I'd rather and do) have a toy for off roading, not using my daily driver to go crashing thru trails. Unless you're rich or something spending $30-40k+ on a vehicle you're going to be punishing seems like an obvious bad decision
I think that you guys are seriously overestimating the kind of off-roading we'd be doing here in Florida!
That begs the question, though...Why would we need a Wrangler to begin with? I'm not sure that we do. It just seems like a fun vehicle to have in Florida, and to take on some light off-roading excursions a few times a year. Something the likes of which we've never owned before.
The Ram is tempting because it offers more comfort, more power, more practicality at about the same price, maybe even less after incentives.
The chances of either vehicle getting beat up in the kind of off-roading we'd do are pretty minimal. There are local off-road groups that take trips to the Ocala National Forest. From the videos I've seen, most of what they do is just tool around on flat, dirt and sand roads. It's nothing like the rock crawling videos I've seen.
Are you talking about the Koons in the DC area? If you are going to travel, Dennis Dillon had better deals than Koons, by 10% the last time I was shopping in the Spring.
I have both. A 2012 jku and a 2014 ram. You don't want to dd or tow with a Wrangler. Long drives are not enjoyable and once you throw some bigger tires on it you're getting 14mpg.
But... They're fun and have insane resale value.
