5 tires plus a 8x12 trailer. jeep pulled it like it wasnt there. the little 2liter is quite peppy when paired with the XR gearing......
I've been nothing but impressed with the 2.0T in my Jeep when pulling a loaded motorcycle trailer (figure ~1,400 lbs.) That's doubly true when considering the 3.45 axle ratio, which minimized the MPG penalty.

While the ZR2 is not a replacement for my lifted JLUR for off roading, it is a fantastic mid size truck. I love it. It is our daily drive. The perfect size. It is my wife’s truck. She ordered it exactly the way she wanted it. Bose stereo and the sunroof was all I cared about. I did jump it wit 18 miles on it out in our hayfield. It is quiet and rides smooth for what it is. I like the different screen selection for the gauges. Even can change the color some.

i have not taken it off road yet, but it will happen sooner or later. I found it to be comfortable for a 2000 miles on road trip an averaged 20.6 mpg. Normal driving, we are getting 17,5 mpg. I did tint the side windows and put a strip at tint along the top of the windshield. I bought a like new bedcover for $75 of Facebook marketplac.

not a huge project but i installed a front facing BlackVue dashcam and ran the wire to the obdii port to be on for accessories ignition or parking mode with a choice of toggle switch.

Highly recommend at very least a 1 channel and also cloud storage for recorded videos in case something silly happens or if someone steals your vehicle/camera and you have evidence on it.

How do you like the performance off road? I have run out across our field a couple times and it is way smoother than my Jeep. With that said, I don't except my Jeep to perform like the ZR2 does. They are designed for different types of off roading.

I have not done a lot with it yet but Baja mode is awesome on the dirt trails. Agreed they are two different vehicles but both will perform. I do find the ZR2 much more comfortable on the longer rides. It does pull my 24 E-Pro 15TB a bit better too.

Love the color, I hemmed and hauled over whether to get that color. Decided on white Lol.
Curious if your HVAC is noisy? Mine moans and groans, clicks and clacks when I change modes or shut it down. Seen reports that this common.

No sound other than the blower motor when turned up hi. I wanted the white, but the truck was form my wife. The red was my second favorite. She ordered the truck exactly the way she wanted it. What I like the most about the truck is the motor. It has 350lbs of torque at 1500 rpms so it is great to drive with out it searching for gears all the time and just smooth at what it does.

I had a local upholstery shop remove the factory foam from the seats and stuff it with as much memory gel foam as possible. My jeep is 16 hour days for a week straight comfortable. The inside of the ZR2 is huge. I am 6'4" and if I put the seat all the way back I can barely reach the steer wheel or pedals.

Drove it in the snow in MOBILE, AL. Crazy. I did enjoy watching every other vehicle on the road right now be a jeep.

I took my 23 Wrangler Rubi 2 Dr. into the Dealer for the 10,000 mile service and I had them use Mobil 1 5w20 oil in place of Pennzoil 0w20 oil.

I drove it to the gym. The first time in weeks it has been out of the garage. Yet when we are home, it is not a daily driver. So I took it to the gym and then gave it a washing and put it back. I need to take it on a trail run. Yet where I like to go in Northern Michigan, they have receiver 11 feet of snow......
