Built in January 2018. No major issues, Up to date on all TSBs. Battery Replacement seems to be the only real issue but I'll be getting some good batteries to install soon and get my ESS up and running again. 38k Miles.

This is my first 4x4, First Jeep brand vehicle and first vehicle bought new. I do not regret this at all!

Just traded my 2018 JLU Sport S I bought in January 2018 (was leased and nearing the end in July). Had about 37K miles on it. Was planning on buying it out but this 2021 Sarge Green Willys sang its siren song to me and I couldn't resist lol! That Jeep gave me ZERO issues. Made a bunch of mods to it and was very happy with it. In the end the features and looks of the Willys got me and I know it will give me just as much joy as my previous one!

Built January 2018 but sat tucked away on a dealer lot until I bought in Sept 2018. 27500 miles - mostly around town with multiple trips to Rausch.

Warranty issues: Steering box, steering stabilizer, both batteries, rear defroster tab last year, and now new rear glass to fix the defroster. Still have the annoying jet engine up front with the A/C running.

With the lift and other mods, wondering how much coverage I can expect from the Mopar extended warranty when that kicks in.

Did think about upgrading to a Rubicon last fall but decided the price tag was higher than I was willing to bash around Rausch and other off-road adventures.

my 2018 JLUR will be 3 years old in about 10 days. 37k miles, replaced start stop battery, other then that its been trouble free, I'm not big into the accessories more then functional items, 35 inch tires with remap, clear bra, bestow sun-rider, etc. Its been a good vehicle, but I kinda have the 3 year itch, I test drove a G550 last weekend which I like a lot, but planning to start some overlanding in a year and G doesn't have the accessories that I what to have such as roof top tents, and the G with rear seats folded is not a flat floor for sleeping, and I can buy 2 loaded Rubicons for the price of 1 G550....

If your considering a G550, you may as well just go with the new 6.4 Wrangler. At least you'll have enough power to bring along enough fuel for a week of overlanding with that 6.4... 😁😁😁

thats not a bad idea, I really like my rubicon and would probably keep it and really outfit it with all the camping and off road stuff I need winch, roof top tent etc., and just use the G550 as a comfy long distance and going out to dinner SUV...

About to turn 3 years, 24,000 miles - also daily driver. No issues whatsoever, replaced Steering Box when TSB came out. Drives like new.
Curious: Anybody here decided to get extended Warranty?

I almost got Sarge too! Knew I wanted another wrangler, Rubi was just too expensive and honestly I prefer the looks of the Willys in many way anyway.
Fully agree! Has all the things you'll for sure use!

Wondering how many of these 3 year old Jeeps are 3.6 or 2.0.
