6500 miles on the Willys.

[Dusty Roads]

6500 miles with 80% of it running dirt and ranch roads, haven't had a single problem. Averaging around 18 mpg, on highway runs it averages around 20+ mpg. Stock tires are doing well and see no need to replace. Still amazed at how much quieter it is than past jeeps. My biggest surprise was how well it handles the highway, up to 75 mph but doesn't get to crazy at higher speeds. I've had it over 90 several times passing these damned sand haulers. It's more than surpassed my expectations on the road. It's off-road abilities were never in question. Planning a trip this spring and interesting the wife has chosen the Jeep over the Caddie for that trip. Never know, she may want one in the future.

My wife has a JLUW with right around 6500 miles too. It has been trouble free as well; been mostly in city driving, beach sand cruising and National Forest service roads.

Your location of West Texas reminded me of one of my favorite songs...

Around 6500 miles on mine also. The only issue I have really had was air in the brake lines. I do not get 20+ on the highway though. I assume that is due to the XR package lol. I average somewhere between 17-18ish. I get better MPG in town vs Hwy. So far, I love my Jeep. I wish mojito would have been available but the Hyrdo isnt terrible. If it would stop like a Gladiator It would be perfect.
