One thing to note:
This forum has never been a Jeep heavy or Wrangler heavy group. Prior to the 4xe in April, I don’t recall seeing much Wangler activity.
Now, with all of the folks getting into 4xes, it has created a fanbase because people love the cars.
I think this says a lot about the enjoyment this car brings. And frankly, no one who buys a Wrangler expects it to be a great highway cruiser. It does everything else so well that this doesn’t matter to most, myself included.
