Default 2010 vs 2012

Looking at a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and trading in my 2010. My wife likes the Crush colour and I like the Dozer. Would it be a good move.

This is exactly what I did. went from a modded out 10 to a modded out 12 and haven't looked back. Around town, back roads theya re similar, the 12 gets a bit better MPG. On the Interstate, both autos with 35s, the difference is huge. I stay in top gear in the 12 and get 17+ MPG. In my 10, I could never get to/stay in OD. I woudl get 13 MPG. It is actually nice to travel in my 12, I couldnt be happier

Trading after two years is never a good move and going against the wife could cause some bluing on your headers. Better stick with the 10 my friend.

I traded an 11 for a 12 and never looked back... Do it if you can it afford it.

In that case I wish I had your problem.

Dozer. Really.
The kids say it looks like a school bus and the grown-ups think it's great.
