So what year did the v6 in the JKs stop being garbage exactly? Are they relatively dependable now?

That truck's been a bit internet famous recently.

It's almost like a bunch of people with no engineering experience built that thing.

It's a niche vehicle marketed towards people with more money than sense. The ultimate Mall Crawler to park on pavement and sip martinis in, it's more of a suggestion of overlanding really.

Presumably you can't really take a caravan on anything significantly hilly off-road. Descending would be a nightmare.

Got to say having a boat sounds a lot of fun exploring coastal areas. I guess no slipways so getting it into the water is a bit ???

I live in Florida, tons of coastline and lakes, and we take our paddleboards everywhere we go for exploring. Getting into the water is almost never an issue. If we want to go further out of range of the boards for fishing or whatever, we just rent a boat or hire a charter. We also have a 14' skiff that the car handles just fine for more local areas, but we may take it on a few road trips soon.

Have thought of getting one of those small and light tent trailers to camp in that my xB could tow, but it's honestly way better and easier to rent a place to stay in especially in the summer when you gotta have AC. And even if I did want to go to a bigger travel trailer and get a truck/suv to tow it, I don't have the room for it anyway. So our mode of travel and adventure is paddleboards/fishing gear/bikes on the roof of the car and/or tow the skiff to a location we want to explore and use an Air BnB for base camp :v:

Just run the XB. Seriously.

Oh I plan to, it's been all over Florida already, I'm gonna run it into the ground unless I give it to my son then he can.

Thought about getting a Maverick hybrid for awhile but it's not worth the bullshit, and this thread hasn't helped my confidence in Ford either :v:
