    I’m a long time JEEP driver, owner since the 1970’s. My. current Jeeps are an ‘01 Wrangler Sport & a ‘23 Gladiator Overland. Both bought new from Dealers.

    The level of intrusive and DAMNED DANGEROUS electronic gimmicks on the newer JEEPS is way too intrusive.

    Devices they consider as “safety’’ enhancements are terribly obnoxious. Looks to me that the Italians have zero concept of WHY we buy JEEPS or what we actually use them for.

    My newer ‘23 shut completely down on the highway at 700 miles. It took Dealer some 2 weeks to get it running again.

    Currently, I’m actively trying to “restore” my ‘01 for use as a daily driver. It is mechanically sound, with 60,000 miles driven by ME, no abuse & fully Scorpion-coated. Just needs a hard top & full doors.

    For instance, if a door is opened in the ‘23, it goes into “auto park” mode and won’t move. I guess the Italians never drive mountain roads, back-up to trailers, check their RFD mailbox, or stop momentarily to hand someone another box of shells.
