Buying Tips for the 2022–2024 Jeep Wrangler (JL)
- ✓Check the aluminium door panels and hinges for galvanic corrosion (bubbling paint), a known issue where the aluminium meets the steel frame.
- ✓Test the 8-speed automatic gearbox; it should be vastly smoother than the old JK transmission.
- ✓Inspect the Uconnect touchscreen for delamination (bubbles appearing under the glass), which requires a full screen replacement.
- ✓Verify the operation of the electronic sway bar disconnect and front/rear lockers (on Rubicon models) to ensure they engage quickly.
- ✓Check the soft top or removable hard top for wind noise and leaks; they are improved but still prone to slight dripping in heavy rain.
