While this is neat, the person who cares about this is going to keep their car longer than 5 years.

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

How does the Jeep Wrangler keep it's value so well? I had to rent one last weekend and it may have been the crappiest car I've ever been in. It only had 26k miles on it, and it was the newer hybrid wrangler, but the materials used were crap, the usability was awful, it was so bulky with barely any real space and it was a terrible ride.
On top of that, they're so expensive. Why does anyone buy jeeps?
You’re not the target then and you shouldn’t have been in a wrangler. A wrangler is a body on frame, solid front and rear axel vehicle. It’s going to naturally ride like dog shit, and the materials on the interior are shit because they’re made to get dirty and be washed out (literally with a hose) and have the top off with the California sun beating on them 24/7. The usability is awful for the same reason. Everything is water resistant and built for off road use.
Space… well that’s because it’s body on frame. They’ve always been awful at usable interior space due to that.
Lastly, they’re expensive because literally no one else makes a body on frame SUV with a solid rear axel, let alone a solid front too. Those pieces also cost a ton to keep legally on the road and they have to purchase carbon credits just to certify them.
Is the G wagon not a body on frame design? I think the Ineos is one too
G wagen is body on frame, but with IFS. IFS basically completely changes how it handles on road for the better. INEOS is also body on Frame, and solid front and rear. However it starts at like double the cost of a wrangler and is really more of a luxury off road we. Money can solve a lot of problems that a wrangler can’t have.
And the Toyota 4runner, Sequoia and Land Cruiser, the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada. There's plenty of body on frame SUVs to choose from.
TLDR: It's the only "cheap" off-roader on the US market that is capable of extreme (rock-climbing, open terrain) off-roading activites even in stock form, that and it has a huge aftermarket behind it for making it an even better off-roader.
It's a shame that the Suzuki Jimny is not available in the US. It is such an amazing offroader.
I dunno. They say it’s “a Jeep thing”.
People just really love the Jeep Wrangler because 'Merica. Or something, I don't get it either. Even the old ones with their pre-enshitification parts aren't even that reliable and are expensive to maintain. If you like working on your own vehicle as a hobby I guess it's acceptable but otherwise it's like $1000 a month getting the dealer to fix everything.
Toyota Tacoma 20 years later: still 20% less than MSRP and with 200,000mi on it.
