That's the thing my business is 2 miles away and my kids school is 6miles away. Not much driving on the interstate because I live in bfe lol. The next closest big town is over 350 miles away which we hardly go to. So the answer is nope to your question. I think I am going to ask for an extended test drive, maybe for a few hours and see if I like it. Two things that did bug me was the excessive swaying at high speeds and the super slow acceleration even though it has the 6sp manual.

It's slow because of the lift and bigger tires.

Ya I figured as much, I wonder how a supercharged one feels like. Not for all out speed but just to make it get out of its own way faster

Well I test drove the jeep again today. In all honesty I really enjoyed the ride. It was fairly tame for a lifted jeep. It did struggle with accelerating even with me ring it out. I think a gear change or boosted it will be perfect. The dealer and I are about $6k off in numbers so we will see if they will come around to my price.

Gear change is the proper solve.
