I'm 52, the guy is blowing smoke out his ears. There is no age limit when it come to jeeps. Even if this new JK drove like an old CJ5, I would still have one.

24 here with my first Jeep. Always wanted one, but now i get paid enough to afford a brand new one. woo hoo! I think there is no age range for a jeep. I see everybody, from high school kids driving around wranglers to 80 yr old men. I know I'll be driving one when im 80. I think a Jeep habbit is harder to kick than crack!

Default never too old

I'm 54 (55 in May). The 2 door JK is my first Jeep.

My 87 year old father in law wants to ride in it. He had an MB in WWII.

I made a step that he can use to get in.

You are only as old as you allow yourself to feel.

Excuse me! That's graystone pearl and I only look 60.

I just turned 49 and I bought the JK because of the elements fabric seats. It saves me money on Depends!

got my first Jeep at 16 (the CJ7). Got my JK at 22 and my YJ about a month later lol. I will have jeeps and chevys till I die.

My dad is 54 and has a CJ8...he also had a CJ7, a 70 Commando, and god knows how many military models before he got married.

Like father like son I guess!

Well, I'm 52 and will be 53 in early July. My wife and I bought our first Wrangler in 2002. At the same time, I bought a Liberty because we needed at least one 4-door (we have 6 kids) and the 4-door vehicle works well for me on the job.

So, when Jeep came out with the 4-door Wrangler, I bought one since we were replacing our Liberty. Obviously, I don"t think you are too old!
