That would likely be enough to make me order a new Wrangler today -

That could very well mean turbocharging the existing 3.2 or 3.6 V6s.FCA was testing the water earlier this year with an owner survey that hinted at the long rumored I-6 turbo engine.
Good points. Personally, I haven’t owned a Jeep past its warranty. I don’t trust neither FCA quality nor dealer service enough to own one without a warranty.I think it is worth noting in the scope of this conversation - OP is talking about selling a 2018 to buy a 2021/2022.
I would imagine the 2018 was purchased new as its replacement would be.
Many of the posts have focused on what will be most reliable or create the least headaches when the mileage is well into 6 digit territory and the Jeep is a decade old or beyond.
I have to say - at least in this exercise - who cares?
That is the 2nd or 3rd owner's problem.
I care for and service my vehicles as if i'll have them forever, but i haven't had a car top 100,000 miles while I owned it since I was in college.
Can you have a catastrophic failure of the Ecodiesel emissions system in the first few years of ownership? Sure. Could a 4xe be plagued with electrical gremlins that take it out of service and leave your dealer completely stumped? Yep. Is it likely in either case - or for the 2.0T or 3.6? Statistically, not at all. There are folks here who've suffered all of the above and its difficult to summarize how much that would suck - but new vehicle reliability should overwhelmingly be quite solid and trustworthy for the first 4-5 years and 60K-80K miles without much beyond routine maintenance - and in the Wrangler's case a half-dozen or so windshields probably.
If this thread was about "I'm looking at these 4 used Wranglers with different powerplants - they all have XX,XXX miles - which would you choose?" - there are some hugely relevant points and things to consider posted here.
But for a new Jeep with a strong powertrain warranty and what should continue to be very strong resale value should things go fully sideways........ I think you buy what you like most not what will save you $200 in oil changes over the first decade of ownership.
Aldo, be careful of listening too closely to the vocal minority.EcoDiesel...less face it, it has a less-than-stellar reliability record.
If you do your own routine maintenance, the additional costs are negligible. $100 oil changes every 10,000 miles are not unreasonable.you aren’t factoring in maintenance costs at all. The eco diesel is the most complicated vehicle on the road.
It’s not 5yr/60k on gas and 5yr/100k on diesel anymore for 2022?2022 Jeeps come with a longer powertrain warranty.
Don’t worry, I do market research for a living; it can keep things in perspective.Aldo, be careful of listening too closely to the vocal minority.
Yes. But my 2018 has a 3-year bumper-to-bumper; that’s it.It’s not 5yr/60k on gas and 5yr/100k on diesel anymore for 2022?
The Pentastar is an Italian engine as well. [Even though my last name has more vowels than consonants, I'm not offended. ]The four-cylinder is more fun and is torquey but it is an Italian engine so I worry about long-term durability.
Pentastar V6 started development well BEFORE Fiat got into the picture.The Pentastar is an Italian engine as well. [Even though my last name has more vowels than consonants, I'm not offended. ]
Do you know what the new powertain warranty is now?Good points. Personally, I haven’t owned a Jeep past its warranty. I don’t trust neither FCA quality nor dealer service enough to own one without a warranty.
My 2018 came with a 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. 2022 Jeeps come with a longer powertrain warranty.
yesIf you drive alot of short 1 to 5 mile trips,is that hard on a diesel?

Wow. Just Wow.Good points. Personally, I haven’t owned a Jeep past its warranty. I don’t trust neither FCA quality nor dealer service enough to own one without a warranty.
