Am I crazy?
I know I'm gonna lose money...
Just bought 'an 11 last April and now I want to trade it in for a '12.
The things that make me want to do it? Well, I want a four door, more power, alittle better fuel economy(I drive 60 miles round trip everyday).
I'm just trying to justify this, any thoughts?

We trade up alot, usually our rigs are only a year old, mabey it's crazy but who cares, if you can afford it do it! The only thing I haven't considered trading off early is my 2010 rubi, witch is strange for me because the 2012 has more power but I just love my jeep and it's perfect for whT I use it for a badass toy!!

Yeah, you're pretty much crazy. The only viable consideration is the jump to a 4-door. IMO it will be the only item on your list that will live up to your expectations. If you go for a 2012 4 door you're going to...
- Without a doubt you'll get four doors
- Get a little more power, but let's face it. It's a Jeep not a top-fuel dragster.
- I bet the better fuel economy in a 2012 will never be realized. Changing your driving habits might yield a bigger impact.

Thanks for the comments...yeah the 4 doors are the major thing. Had a 2001 2 door for over 11 years and traded that in for my '11, which is a 2 door. Thought I would LOVE it...just dont. Dont have that same connection I did with my first. Anyway, I just think the four door would work ALOT better...and fit my lifestyle better. Wish I would have kept my '01 though.
