I have owned numerous jeeps, in fact just bought my 6th one. FINALLY bought a Wrangler. I owned a 2012 Jeep Liberty which I loved, but couldn't tow it, that was before I decided I wanted a MH. Owned Cherokees and the new Renegade. Only the Renegades were towable on a dolly, they were front wheel drive.
I had always wanted a Wrangler but yes they are expensive. Expensive to buy new but they hold their value. I looked for several months. Finally found a 2015 Sahara - 2 door. I have only had it for 3 weeks but I absolutely love it! It feels so solid on the road. It had 30,000 miles on it and they wanted $26,900.00 for it. I did a lot of dealing with them. I had a 2017 Renegade I was trading in. Many of the Wranglers in my area for the same year had 40 or 50,000 miles on them and they still want $30,000 or more. I live in upstate NY.
Finally got my Wrangler though!!! Now all I have to do is add all the stuff to it I want......LOL!!! Wrangler has the most after market items than any other vehicle.
