This is pretty accurate. What I find funny is some people in group 1 are, at times, the same ones to hop on the forums and blast the build quality. Like you need to consult the sacred triangle of "quality-fast-cheap"; you can only pick two. That said, it's far from the worst vehicle I've...
I've owned a '01 TJ on 32's and can confirm snow was not its specialty. But, it could tackle basically anything else without issue. Jeeps excel at more technical trail stuff and rock crawling, not necessarily mud or snow.
I had a 23 and now own a 25 and don't necessarily miss the buttons; and I thought I would have before picking up the 25. For the few times I want to change temperature, the voice commands work well if I don't want to take my eyes off the road.
Your build is exactly what my previous Mav was (even down to the color and mileage), and that is exactly what I got for trade in value at the dealership. Carvana offered $25,700, but figured it was close enough with lowered tax burden.
If you know your customer order number (your sales person should know it) and your VIN, you can track the status here. FYI I only received a couple of the status emails, some were just not sent.

Congrats! Also just took delivery on mine; very similar build to yours.
To add to the (minor) gripes, I do not like how the handful of buttons by the volume knob feel all attached together, and all move a little when you press any of the buttons. Also, my window lock button is...
1. In the early 2000's my dad and I were out exploring some snowy forest roads in remote northern WI in his '94 Jeep Cherokee. Mind you, Ashland County is one of the most sparsely populated counties in the state, much of it covered by National Forest. We took a turn down an unmarked path and...
There is a greater than zero chance the tariff threat was used as a means to win votes by those who do not fully understand what tariffs imply, and that said tariffs may not actually materialize. But, this topic has been beaten to death...
My goodness, that certainly was a book written when it looks like you had a bad turbo and a crappy dealer. Ford dealers are notoriously...mediocre, at best. Just sell it and move on. Sorry about your experience.

Smaller pad so it doesn't cover backup camera. Fits two bikes (one of which is a 29er) easily. It's really easy to load and unload.
Probably not worth your time. If it's in already for service, maybe mention it then. Mine has glitched out a few times and the reset always corrects it.
Probably been said 100 times already, but if you can guarantee to make more with the cash in investments, it makes no sense to pay for it with cash.
However, that's likely not the case with interest rates so high right now. I paid off the Mav in less than a year due to the crazy high rates...
Great pics. Cool that you make a stop at the holy land every year. I have done this loop before (well, shorter, didn't go as far east as Detroit), the chunk in NE WI and through the UP is gorgeous.
The trick was to time it so you get through Chicago on a Sunday morning. I have never cruised...
Careful, OP. I got into an argument with another forum member about the current home affordability crisis, and was told that it was mostly my fault for the choices I made (like going to college, as we were told to do). :LOL: Basically, all I need to do is pull myself up by my bootstraps like...
Yeah idk if I'd ask a forum for permission/opinion on stuff like this. Just do it if you want.
The Jeep duckies were started on a whim by a lady who wanted to make people smile. That's it.
Not certain who Ford's original target was for the Mav, but it's a clear hit with people who recognize the value and practicality of the design. But it we stopped there, it would basically be the Pontiac Aztek. It also happens to be good looking (not talking about the Aztek), capable, and...
