Were Wranglers meant to be practical?

Practicality and drivability are relative. Let's go through the vehicles that I have bought for myself '67 bronco (okay that was a handmedown from Dad), '78 F-150, '76 Superbeetle (only car), '89 Ranger, '96 Ram 1500, 2000 F-250 4x4 (still own as my 5th wheel hauler and cargo hauler).
My JKU is the most practical and smoothest riding vehicle I have ever owned

Riding trails is not the only thing that makes a Wrangler more practical for a car, but only for the people who need it. And for anyone who does live in the country, there are more practical choices. Including say the Grand Cherokee that has more clearance than the Wrangler (look it up), more torque to the wheels by a massive percentage, rides much better, is much safer, is much quieter, and on and on.
I don't hate the Wrangler at all guys, I love it. But "being practical" is not and hopefully never will be what sells this vehicle. This is a niche vehicle. Practicality was NEVER the intent of Chrysler. The day that FIAT decides to make this a "practical" choice is the day that the Wrangler will die.
