There certainly is some of that with me, but I'm honestly very comfortable in this Jeep and the Mopar lift's Fox shocks ride is very good. Quietness is a non-issue because I listen to music at a volume that negates it. But mine steers and tracks fine and I like the power train a lot.And I thought it was just me. I wonder if people who consider it very good highway cruiser are only comparing it to past Wranglers? Clearly everyone has a different standard of what makes for a good highway cruiser is all over the map.
I’m hard pressed to think of a vehicle I’ve driven in recent years that’s not more comfortable for long drives than my Jeep. Whether it’s the ride, handling, seat position/comfort, cruising range. The infotainment system is pretty good. The headlights are great. But the over the road driving experience - not so great.
I still love it though. I just won’t say that long drives in it are good when I’m my opinion they’re crap.
But I do have a 99 Mercedes E430 Sport that is a wonderful highway cruiser, so the JK didn't taint me that much. The main thing for me is how I feel after 10 or so hours on the road and I'm not left with any soreness or issues after riding in this Jeep.
Of course, I did enjoy my YJ on the highway, too, and it was the loudest roughest road-going creation I ever drove, so maybe I'm just not hard to please. LOL!
