    Absolutely, but with this lgbtqtpi world - who knows what type of cladding we'll end up with

    Millions of people drive 4 door Wranglers to exclusively commute with, they seem to be okay with it. Being an opentop 4wd with SFA it won't drive as well as an enclosed IFS vehicle like the 4R but 4Rs aren't exactly known to be canyon carvers either even with KDSS and highway tires.

    I drove some JLUs for rentals on work trips and they seem okay, I kept it under 80mph and while it was a little loud from the soft top and thin doors(that you can take off, something else 4Rs can't do), I can't exactly it "sucks" unless you have unrealistic expectation for one.

    They're ok with it because Jeeps look cool. Or, because they actually want/need the off-road capability.

    It's not only about handling. Wind noise was the biggest thing I noticed in my 15 minutes driving a Wrangler.

    Drive it more than 15 minutes and you will get used to the wind noise like the engine noises and vibrations in the 6th gen, I noticed those when I test drove a LC250 for fun while I was killing time getting my Corolla some parts.

    I doubt it. I ripped one of the mud flaps off my 4Runner when it got stuck between the tire and a rock backing out of an obstacle in 2020. Without the mud flap, the wind just blows into a void underneath the rear bumper, and the noise bothered me until I finally fixed it.

    I guess you won't be buying a wrangler then. Everyone lives.

    I guess you won't be driving a 6th gen 4runner then.

    Wild how that works.

    New Wranglers drive pretty nicely. They have come a long way since the YJs and TJs.

    I drove a brand new one last year. I had no issue with the handling, acceleration, etc. Just the wind noise. Even with a hard top, it was a turn off.

    Interesting comment on a 6th gen 4Runner thread coming from someone who clearly isn't buying a 6th gen 4Runner.

    5 is better than 6 because it has less curves
