Caught the Bug
Traded the Mojave last Saturday for a '24 JLUR X XR ![Partying face :partying_face: 🥳](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f973.png)
Never thought I'd get another chance to get the Anvil color, which is my favorite Wrangler color ever (right alongside Gobi, Gator, and Commando).

The Good:
MSRP sticker of $72,690![Exploding head :exploding_head: 🤯](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f92f.png)
But thankfully discounted with:

The Good:
- Return of Anvil.
- Dramatically improved steering. Heavier feel. Zero play. Tiiiight.
- 4:88 with the auto (!)
- Quieter inside as Jeep claims, noticeably so.
- Improved front seat comfort.
- Higher-end feel to the interior fit/finish/materials. Approaching G-Wagon/Defender/X5 territory.
- More intuitive UConnect user interface.
- Bright and sharp screen. Wide enough that split screens are usable.
- Improved satellite radio reception that doesn't cut out in my garage or drive though places with metal overhangs.
- Easily the best stock Wrangler I've ever owned.
- Items in the door netting can interfere with the power seat controls and/or restrict room for my hand to get to the controls.
- Missed opportunity for the side vents to be rectangles to match the new center vents (TJ-style).
- The new XR wheels are too bling. Very few are going to use the XR as beadlocks. They should have partnered with Method to offer a Mopar Bead Grip wheel with a protection ring.
- Alpine stereo still sounds average. I want the option for a Harman-Kardon system. RAM and Challenger can have it, why not Jeep?
