My 2018 Renegade Trail Hawk keeps surprising me, in good ways. The temps up here, Central NY, have been in the high 90s, 100 in asphalt parking lots . Get into a hot car, start, hit "Max Air", and in 2 minutes, cool and comfortable. Coming from no AC, or weak AC, this is as good as Heated Steering Wheel in the winter for "Wow ". Also being able to check vehicle temps, transmission, oil, engine, battery voltage ,tire pressures, is great. Again, I'm coming from keys, crank windows, cars that don't even recognize you (!) , so I'm liking all these features in a nicely sized and eqipped 4x4 . There is Life after Wranglers!
YES! And it's SO much quieter! I also feel much more firmly planted especially in the wind. My Wrangler was also the no AC crank window variety circa 2000.
TJs! I have a 2000, 4 cylinder ,5 spd, frame totally rotted. Runs great at 235, 000. Future Restoration Project,once I find a frame...The Good Old Days. The Renegade definitely fits my purpose, and many others, as Renegades are very popular here in Central New York.
