It doesn't help that I fitted Recaro buckets to mine either..... not much in the way of 'give'. Very supportive when in the dunes tho.
Oh absolutely. When learning I was doing reverse hill starts off road on silly steep bits. Also, parallel parking a Wrangler with old, blotchy / dirty plastic rear and rear side windows was a great challenge.

Aced my driving test, as you can imagine.

New Wranglers are supposed to be OK though aren't they? Funky new engine, new school auto box, still take the roof and doors off.

Seriously looking at a new Wrangler Unlimited despite saying never own a Jeep in ME again because of AC issues in the 'mander.

Indeed, the newer version of the JK is meant to be pretty good and a big improvement on the first version of the JK. Improved interior and engine, which to be honest were the only main issues. And they're still pretty handy off road too.

Reset the fuel consumption button and drove the F150 like a local and it still returned 15.9 L per 100kms
I drive the expy like a pussy and 17.4 is the best I get.

Therefore from a green perspective, driving the F150 like a loon will save trees and small furry things etc.

Behold, I am an Eco warrier.
