Thanks
New or used is a hard decision. Now that you can do a Diesel Freak Tune on the 2.7L, that levels the playing field a lot.
For Highway use an older 3.73 geared one will run a lot faster with a Tune. (Needs the Tune to wind out the Gears)
Off road the 5.38 geared newer ones shine.
A used one with add-ons that you would install anyway, can make all the difference in just how good a buy a used one is.
Some of the Good Add Ons Would Be:
Roof
Turn Signals
Windshield with Wipers
Heater
Rear Bulkhead
235/85R16 10 ply tires
OEM Side Steps
Winch
Good Bumpers such as Cecco
I have a 2024 with 5.38 Gears and No Tune "so far", and it gets around just fine. I keep the RPM's to around 2,200 - 2,300 most of the time. I have 235/85R16 M&S 10 ply tires on mine. Best that I can tell, I am maxing out around 50 MPH. That is fast enough for where I drive. I get high Twenties for fuel mileage. My 5.38 geared Roxor gets about 10 MPG better gas mileage than my 2013 Wrangler with a 3.6L V6, and Automatic Transmission.

I am in Groesbeck Texas. I have one fully decked out I need to sell. Come test drive it. 2022 too many options to list.
You might want to check out Daddyflea's Roxor. He may very well have most of your add on modifications done for you.

I am sure I do. Only thing I dont have is Hard Cab. It has the Fortress Tip up Windshield and Hard Top, along with a Soft Cab. Dealer here offered me $10,000 for it and I told him he had to be "On some Good Drugs."
