19 2.0T with 31k miles. 12V battery gave up in 2021 I think. Replaced with dual Optimas and no issue since . Replaced spark plugs at 20k and made a noticeable difference in how smooth the engine ran.

My 23 Wrangler Rubi 2 Dr. will be two years old next month and I have the eTorque ans I don't have any problems with only 10,000 miles. My Rubi has the 48 Volt Lithium battery that suppose to last 10 years. I do have the Stop/Start Eliminator installed.
In December, I replaced the OEM AGM battery with the Genesis Gen 3 Dual Battery System with Odyssey batteries and so far has been working great.

2021 JLUR 3.6 here with e-Torque. New 12V battery two months ago as it read a little low and I do not mess with batteries anymore waiting for them to go dead on me in the middle of no where. Love the extra torque from e-torque (+90 ft. lbs. I think). I run premium fuel because an engineer from Mopar (video on YouTube) suggested that the 3.6 runs better that way (ECM timing advanced more maybe?). Also said the e-Torque is an amazingly well engineered system. I believe him. They should never have moved away from it and they also never marketed it properly. In fact I had no idea I had it until a year after I owned it and was looking for the Aux Battery under the fuse box.

2021 3.6 Etorque.. 36K miles.. original battery.. no issues so far. Just had 4.56 gears installed so that extra torque is nice as well. Still got 250 miles to go on the breakin before I can really test it.

45K miles, I’ve had to replace the 12 V battery, but that’s it. Just regular service other than that. Just switched to differential fluid for the first time earlier this week.

'19 etorque I ordered the day the banks opened. I'm sure I am over 100,000 miles now. I refuse to get rid of. Needed another vehicle and ended up with a '24 Bronco Badlands. Couldn't do a Jeep without it. The SECOND etorque is back and can be equipped the way I want it, I am ordering.

All broken windsheilds were on the highway and there was no one infront of me. Rocks and one lug nut from oncoming traffic 70mph. First 2 windsheilds were gorilla glass dealer said they change more gorilla glass than the stock. Now have stock windsheild we will see how long it last.

How do you like the Bronco compared to the Jeep?

Its much different imo. Just my opinion but I have a Rubicon completely loaded and my Bronco has the V6 with a Ford Performance Tune and completely loaded minus Sasquatch. Both 2 doors.
Honestly, the Jeep is just more fun. I maintain this posture even driving 25 miles one way to work from suburbs to downtown major city. From seating position and how you can clearly see top down, to turn radius being so maneuverable on the dime, and etorque being so peppy off the line for spirited driving in the City, the bounce and feeling the road.
There is so many things that are easy to take for granted from my point of view with the Jeep after owning both. Bronco has long doors so parking even for someone not carrying a gut can be a challenge in parking garages or narrow spaces climbing in and out, just feels so much larger though its not. Bronco drives better on the road, more like an SUV which is pretty boring to me but huge for others. Bronco is a great vehicle and the GOAT modes are absolutely legit. We had some wild snow this year and insane ice and I couldn't believe how well this handled in those conditions. Absolutely no question, if Jeep had an etoque 2.0L right now I'd grab it though. I ordered both and paid cash.
Bronco immediately had me wanting to do things that made it feel more like a Jeep. On the flip side the Jeep had me wanting to add things for no reason at all because it just always leaves a smile on my face. Bottomline it's just the differing personalities of the 2. I am not a rock crawling pro or anything but for me, I'd trust my Jeep to get me out of places I wouldn't even consider taking the Bronco and I have no idea why I feel that way.
Reliability, I had a few things with the Jeep. 1) Nav died. Was replaced under warranty. 2) infamous torque screw issues with a pump or hose I can't remember that required a tow. Cheap fix but out of pocket. Bronco, 1) a harness wasn't connected to the fuel pump. Dealership just secured it. 2) Recall for something with the shocks I don't recall but they're waiting on the parts. I have 15,000 miles on it.
I frequent the boards not just because I own the Rubi but in hopes information leaks on etorque 2.0l option or next gen. Well and all the legends around here.
None of this is to say the Bronco isn't great, but Jeep would have to drop the 2 door for me to continue on the Bronco platform or drop the bag in other areas we see discussed here quite a bit. Like outlandish pricing.
