I have my JT and I love it The bed is useful for someone like me who doesn't carry a lot of large items, or often. I know all the Wrangler snobs will throw shade at it but it is really capable offroad. It does drive a lot nicer than the Wranglers due to its extra length but that also doesn't help it on tight trails or shorter jagged/hilly obstacles.
Even I will admit that the back of the cab looks a bit rushed/unfinished at best. But it's always great going out in the only convertible pickup with no doors People don't bat an eye at Wranglers when they do it but I get people in traffic all the time during summer asking me about it, saying they love it, or getting thumbs up.
The first 60% of the JT is pure JL and almost every part is interchangeable. It's only once you get to the back of the cab that things get different. Some drive components, fuel tank, rear roof, and a few more mechanics aren't changeable between the 2 but that's about it outside the obvious.
I saw fuel economy mentioned but I think that was in jest. A 3.6 JLU and JT have 1MPG difference city (17JT, 18JLU). In my JT I'm averaging ~20MPG, around 18ish in colder months and 22ish in warmer. Can't wait to see what I can get in my JLR 2.0T :D
Also, you really don't get a JT because you want the capabilities of a full size pickup. You get it because it's a Wrangler with a bed. You get it to do Jeep things like have doors/roof off but also you want a bit more utility than a Wrangler. It tows great and has a bed and that's the experience some people want.
