Bought my first brand new vehicle. Kinda.

About 4-5 years ago I kicked tires on some new Rubicons. I've owned 4 Wranglers in my day, so I love them.

As most folks know, Rubicons have everything AND the kitchen sink too. I saw stickers up to & over $100K.

They must be selling them to someone as Jeep keeps making them............

Have a look on youtube. There are videos everywhere of unsold vehicles of all makes jamming up lots all over the country.

Watch the car ads on TV. They are either all lease deals, or for anything more expensive than a Hyundai Elantra they are offering 7-year notes. I've been seeing 7-year notes at 0% lately (especially on Stellantis vehicles), suggesting the trade is in trouble, more so maybe with the '26 model year stuff coming.

Now think about what a 7-year note means in terms of how you must insure the vehicle, and what happens if it turns into a maintenance nightmare after five years and you want to get rid of it. If you bought a typical 1/2 ton truck and put $42k on the note, then after five years you would still owe $12k, so you are that much in the hole before you even think of stepping onto a dealer's lot.

A.I. said; The American-assembled ROXOR reenters the off-road world with the same proven capabilities based on its authenticity, simplicity, and strength. Is ROXOR street legal? This is an off-road vehicle only; therefore, it is NOT legal for use on any public street or highway.

For ranch work we always got used trucks. Thank you for sharing. I never seen one before.

Around here it's generally legal to run an ATV on public roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less. I say "generally" because the RCW has abundant legalese carving out exceptions. It's a common thing to see. I'm guessing the ROXOR qualifies.
