I was trying to think about what my RAM 1500 had that I miss.... but truth is, its just a completely different vehicle. I like that it was crew cab, with a HUGE amount of space and leg room for all passengers. I like that it had a 5.7 Hemi. I like the look of the short bed. I like that it could fit ALL of my camping gear. I like that it could tow 11,300 lbs. I like that it was probably one of the safest vehicles to be in in a crash. I miss all of those things, but I knew what I was giving up, as well as what I was gaining, when i got the JLUR. Fair trade IMO!

I sold this to buy my 21 Rubicon XR and i dont miss a thing. I loved the TTRS but was so paranoid about people stealing it, dinging it, scratching it etc that it was no fun to own anymore. Ive done more road trips and had way more fun in the Jeep than i ever did in the TT!

V8 power. my 06 Charger Daytona was fun, but it sat under snowbanks in the winter months while I drove my old Jeep.
I still want to Hemi swap my JLUR.

42 mpg. Came from a Camry Hybrid so big difference on all fronts. But the mpg is the hardest one to get over. I live 20 minutes from everywhere and have gotten accustomed to making multiple trips in and out of town with our worry of gas. Learning to be more conservative-change is hard!

507hp V10 from my old M5 (also 6-speed).

Hopeless in the wet/snow nevermind doing a blue trail in AOAA.

Smiles per mile with JL and the kids...priceless.

Miss the power and handling from my Audi S5 .. But that’s like comparing apples to a brick.
Ditto for me, but mine was an RS5. That 444hp naturally aspirated V8 with an 8,250 RPM redline was an absolute beast. Roared like a Ferrari at those engine speeds, but it sat idle in my garage for months after I bought my first Rubicon. It had to go.

I miss how fast the 3.5L Ecoboost was and I miss getting 600+ miles out of a tank of gas.

I actually had a 2015 4Runner in between the F150 and my JLR, but I don't miss anything about it :CWL:

I miss the roof rack, power rear window, and the tons of storage I had in my 4Runner.

Let's see my previous vehicle was a JK.......so basically nothing. Except for the fact that brand new it was $25k.

Low end torque. My other Jeep has a 4.6L Stroker motor in it and it idles over anything with darn near no throttle input.

Of all things, I miss my CD player the most. Now I basically have a bunch of Frisbees.
