My Wrangler JK is 10 years old with almost no issues, its a relatively simple vehicle compared to most, easy to work on as well. The Pentastar V6 is well proven engine and the issues with it are well understood.

I really like the vehicle, it has served me well and taken me many interesting places across the country, along with daily driving. I tow it with a RV and its one the few that can do so now days, plus its extremely capable offroad.

The 4XE is very alluring, much more fun to drive (I have rented one) and I could charge it off home solar and still tow with RV (the only PHEV thats possible to do so). If only it was reliable...

There’s just no comparison when you consult reliability reports, though. Of course, even companies like Toyota are going in the direction of always on, arbitrarily updated software and subscriptions.

I have no idea what I’ll buy when my 11 year old toyota finally retires.

As a happy owner of a 30 year old Toyota 80 series I'd recommend getting one! The computer can be diagnosed with a light bulb. Or go even older like a 40 series Land Cruiser. No computers anywhere in those.
