I would strongly discourage anybody from buying a Jeep if you have no intent of taking it off road. There are plenty of other vehicles that will trounce it in every way as a DD.
I agree there are plenty of better makes of cars way more reliable and with better support. I don’t 4x4 I only keep my ex daughters WG is because it is totally depreciated and basically worthless although with a lot of effort we have kept it maintained. We have the occasional need to tow 3T and it is worth keeping as a family spare workhorse for that purpose.
