Okay, so my story is I have a newer 2022 Bronco Badlands, 2 door with a manual. Problem is it has way more issues than any other Ford I have ever owned, Ford will not stand by their product, so I am wanting a more simple, yet tough and reliable alternative. It seems the latest version of a TJ gets me closest to what I want if I can find one. I like the I-6 idea, I like the manual transmission and Rubicon seems to be most closely matched to my Bronco. I liked my Bronco, it seemed to be mechancially sound, but it is ridden with computer and other software glitches to which I would find hard to diagnosis let alone fix. I know Jeeps are known for some reliability issues too. But I'm wondering if the Jeep I describe was the best they have been. I understand the earlier TJ's had drum brakes and a 5 speed. So if I should find a good example of a later TJ, what should I be on the lookout for as far as issues? If I could find a low mileage unit, what should I expect to pay? Any other info would be very helpful. I am a recovering Ford guy, have always loved my Fords, but the company under the current management and major quality issues....well I just can't get behind that.
