50k-mile ownership check-in

TrailDetailerCommunity StarterJan 27, 20262023 Jeep Wrangler RubiconMichigan

Crossed 50k miles, so I figured I'd post what has actually broken, what maintenance cost, tire life, fuel economy, annoying quirks and whether I'd buy the same car again. What am I missing?

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler price probably got worse. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Stop there until you know. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
