Beautiful scenery. That Jeep does look nice. We just finished 5700 miles in my Sierra, and my brother in law drove his new Jeep Gladiator. Looks pretty comfy. Is it?
the seats and everything are super comfy ( heated leather ) the suspension is a little stiff but the beauty of Jeep’s is everything is very easy to change and tune to your liking . A 2” lift with progressive rate coils are in the near future .

I never thought I would want heated leather seats. Then I turned 50 and my girlfriend says "I'm not riding in that truck" indicating the Silverado without heated leather seats. She wanted the Sierra with heated leather. I went with that and am happy I did

It’s so much fun to drive , gets compliments all the time and can wheel like nobody’s business but sadly it’s just to small for my needs . Thought I could work around it with clever storage and downsizing but I just need more cargo room for daily life stuff .

For the daily, could you possibly get a little RWD truck, like an ol’ S10 and keep the Jeep for adventures? I’m entertaining the idea myself, but have no room in my garage for a different daily.
Same no room for a extra vehicle . Maybe some day down the road after the kids are gone I’ll get a jeep again but for now it’s just not practical.
