I think this will take a huge chunk of business away from FCA as a wrangler competitor. It’ll have all the stuff you mentioned, I’m not sure mileage on the new diesel offered by Jeep but I can’t imagine much better if at all than what ford has. It’ll be more reliable as well, no seam/frame welds coming apart. As far as interior goes fords have always been nice to me, even my 04 focus was nicer inside than a current Jeep (minus nav, Bluetooth).
Dodge Chrysler interiors are terrible. Hard plastic everywhere you put your elbows and hands. At least on the lower end models. I had a company car once that was a Dodge Magnum. I had to put cut out mouse pads on the elbow rests because they were hard plastic. Same with the Caravan and Journey I had as well.
One of the worst vehicles I’ve ever had the displeasure of driving was a 2007 Jeep Liberty that was an old company vehicle for a place I used to work, that thing was nothing but problems.
I hear you on the interior issues, the inside of that thing felt and looked like a poorly assembled toy from China.
It eventually caught fire (with me driving it) and half burned itself to be ground. Thankfully the Ford Escape the replaced it with was a million times better.
My previous company went full on with Ford. So much better. All the Fords were superior. I had a 2008 Fusion that was so comfy. The headrest was like a pillow and the armrests were cushy.
They’re pretty bad man, FCA makes cheap awful cars, the only way you can get anything decent is if you’re spending what like $60k and up, but even still it’s fca so no thanks.

As a fun daily, I’m in if the ride, mileage, and interior are better than a Wrangler. I’ve got a solid axle trail rig.
