I have a JL. The JT would be a looong stretch. Pun intended.

I actually like the JT a lot, but I am trying to get away with 33s. If I traded for a JLU I would need a lift + 35s, a JT I would need 37s.

I think the JT looks fine, but I'm not a truck guy. I think it's the most tasteful looking truck outside of maybe a Ranger or a Tacoma? But yeah.. not a truck guy.

Not no but hell no, If I wanted a pickup I would by a RAM and I have had several. I drive a wrangler because I want a wrangle and again I have had several. Absolutely nothing against the JT but it's kind of like know what you want before you drop over 50K on a vehicle

I guess we are odd balls Jason. I traded my 2018 JLUR for the Mojave after test driving.
Hey, Bob - not the first time I have gone against the crowd.

Won't be the last, either!

I would not trade my 2 door JL for a JT. Do like the JT it's just when ever I have purchased a truck it has been more work related as I do not like daily driving a truck and the short box does not work for me.

I have a 2018 2 door JL Rubicon, and just ordered a Ram Powerwagon. Probably would have been smarter with a Bighorn or a different truck, but don't need the towing capacity. The JL is a manual which I love, and as my Brother always says... "the roof comes off". JT may have been the answer, but I am happy where I ended up. I may consolidate the two vehicles in the future...

Every time I drive in urban traffic I’m happy with my JL, my F350 is when needed or just because only. Both are the right tools for the job.

I have a F150 and a JL........I want to trade them in for the JT. Would you guys trade in your JL for the JT?
I would trade in for a JT if it came in a Two Door with a bed that can accommodate two dirt bikes and a Diesel.

I agree, no and I am a JLU guy, not JL. I did trade my F150 and a Volt for a JKU then the JKU for the JLU. I did "borrow" a JT for a week.

Sit in the back seat for 30 minutes. Great for a dog or luggage, but not much else. It will not replace your F150 unless you have an old lightning with no back seat at all, then maybe.

Yes, With the traffic here in Austin the 2 door JL is so much nicer to drive then my Tacoma. But there are days I really need the Tacoma for the bed.
