The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is now available. Come see what I have to say about the good, the bad, and the ugly of this completely new platform. Did Jeep hit it out of the park or did they mess up a good thing?

The only bad is how expensive they can be but on the bright side, they hold their value like crazy.
True , I get tired of hearing the stuff I own and take care of is only worth 30% of what I paid in five years , these will get about twice that .
Love my JK. Mid fifties guy. I use it as a daily driver and plow snow with a 7.5 ft Boss plow. Anybody looking for a car like ride should buy a car and not become a member of Jeep Nation. Meet business people with suits and ties driving JL. they love them. Thank you Jeep !!!!
Just recently bought a 2018 with only 7000 miles on it. I agree with everything except your on road review. I came from driving a Nissan Titan to this. The Jeep in comparison feels like a sports car on the road...I absolutely love it! Responsive steering, tight turns, easy to park, surprisingly quieter than I expected on the freeway. All around good feel on and off the road. Favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned, hands down. Only con to me is the price tag. But I think it was worth it.
The Wrangler ride is one of the things I freaking love about it. It *had* to feel like a proper Jeep, otherwise I wouldn't have bought my new one. I like how aggressive it feels on the road. Also, I second the person asking for someone to review a Wrangler that isn't a maxed-out Rubicon.
I just picked up a JL sport 2 door sport with regular tires , It is a lot better on road than I thought . Love it !
We were getting out of our Chevy Tahoe looking to down size to the Jeep Cherokee. The dealer drove us over to the cars in a Wrangler Rubicon the ride over was amazing I could not believe I was in the wrangler! We drove a Cherokee and I suggested my wife drive the JL Sahara, we got the 2.0 T. It drives great, function is exactly what to expect, civilized was unexpected! I can’t recommend it high enough!
The bad: PRICE
I bought one two weeks ago. I’m well pleased with it. Except the auto off (now bypassed).
I was actually looking for a 78 to 82 CJ5, but my wife made me upgrade.
Let the upgrades begin! But the market is small for now.... I’ll probably build my own bumpers and slides. Man I love owning keeps!
I am fascinated by the part where he says losing the jeep logo on the front grill makes sense.. had to rewind, hear it again and pause and write the comment before I could go on watching this amazing review.
Actually disagree, ride is not terrible at all. I use mine as a daily driver. Came from a Ram 1500.
Nick Amodei I have a Ram 1500 and I am looking at the JL also. What year was your Ram? Mine is 2005. I drove the JL but found the handling to be loose, like wandering all over the road, but I still keep looking at it. Was the ride better or worse for you?
gghostrrider I had a 2014 Ram. When I first got my JL I thought the same with the ride and steering. After driving a bit it I love it, it does handle different (body on frame, solid axles) but you get used to it. It is not tiresome to drive at all!
Same here. Just purchased the JL. Got use to the handling after 3 days. Feels normal now love it as a daily.
Nick Amodei how's the difference in fuel economy?
bradlandry way better!! I'm getting around 21 to 22 mixed driving. On my ram i got around 15 mixed.
Thorough review. Nice. I would say the "terrible" comments regarding ride, handling etc could be substituted with " if you are new to jeep ownership make sure you take an adequate test drive in the model you are considering for purchase. "Terrible" is subjective and over reaching.
I have a JL Sahara and I love how smooth it is on the pavement...
I just bought a JL Sport after having 2 CJ's and a YJ the in the past. The JL is a vast improvement. It rides as well as a 4 Runner which I tried out also. On a 500 mile trip I got 26 actual mpg. I'm not a serious 4-wheeler but my plan is to use the jeep as a daily driver and for some mountain camping on fire roads. It's not a terrible.vehicle of you use it for what it was made for.
Thanks for the awesome video, I wish you make another one for access to speakers enclosure
Just got a 2018 Wrangler JL sport...21k miles. 🎃 color. Absolutely love it. Low on frills...fun as heck to drive...great to look at.
Only thing I hate is the auto stop start nonsense....thank goodness for the disable button!
Awesome review, I enjoyed a lot
Will be definitely waiting for 2 or 3 years for better engine options and improved bugs issues that are part of any first year model ...
Matthew Tafoya unfortunately true
Chrysler and quality? Don't hold your breath!
I got last 3 generations from Jeep Wrangler 2002TJ, 2007JK & Now 2018JL ... I can feel the improvements going forward when you are driving on & off the city. Driving the JK was smoother than the TJ considering for a Wrangler but now the JL much more smooth for daily basic commute! In my opinion Jeep has been doing good work in that department!
You should say "you'll be disappointed, unless you like jeeps" Yah it's not a BMW or Honda, but it's a jeep, it's quirky and unique, and I love it for that reason. That and the history, and the "go anywhere, do anything" capability. But seriously though why do old lady's and soccer moms drive jeeps? Also people... WAVE!!!! Seriously freaking wave, you bought a wrangler or even cj owners, wave dammit!
Tylor Hughes Maybe old ladies and soccer moms like hitting the trails on the weekend?? Just because you drive your Jeep through town for groceries doesn't mean grandma can't love and own a Jeep, too.. Jeeps are awesome, I want everyone to have one.
Robin Ellen Dickson my grandma already has one I'll take a 300s v8
trying to sound sexist but females never do the wave i make sure everytime i wave to a female with a jeep she thinks im stupid or might think im trying to holler😂
i recently traded in my 2014 Mitsubishi lancer on the new 2018 jlu Sahara, yes the first week there was definitely some getting used to the ride change! and getting used to the different clutch in the jlu as well as a way shorter throw then any past jeep! all i can say is i love this thing!! only down side to buying a new vehicle in January, all the trails have 4feet of snow at-least here in Canada! lol
Nice video, good info. Thanks
Good review, Bought a beautiful JL Sahara - but it was deemed totalled when it was in an accident - thank God and Jeep engineers for that roll bar - when we went back to purchase another Jeep - we felt the JL with Rubicon and a Manual is more that we were looking for .... once you get a little Jeeping in .... well you will see ... it is time to go a bit bigger ... and holy crap this Ruby is WOW!! I drive a 4X4 every single day for work but this is something Totally unexpectedly wonderful - our Saraha stuffed a Range Rover on the Lilloette HWY easily but our Ruby would stuff a Raptor in anything
Just got the Sahara 2.2 diesel 2door. Couldn't be more happy. Been driving it for 2 days, the gas milage is very good.
Next step, a short roof rack.
Finally, a two door wrangler rubicon. I'm a jeep fan and I previous owner of a two door 2012 ok wrangler and the ride was not bad, it's actually fun and the potholes don't feel, now with my Hyundai or sedans you feel very potholes. Also the price is high, but if your a fan like me and have a second car get the two door, soft top with manual transmission, that way you will keep it under 40k.
After driving TJs for 19 years, my new JL sport is basically a luxury vehicle! I think it's a very smooth drive.
I just bought a new one two weeks ago and couldn't disagree with this guy's opinion more. I love how my jeep rides and handles. Sure it's different from any other vehicle. But now that I'm used to it I love it!
I'm on my third Wrangler, one TJ, two JKs. You are spot on, Wranglers are a class unto themselves. Anyone wanting to buy one to drive to the mall and look cool at the kid's soccer practice would do well to rent one for a weekend before investing even in a used one. It's not supposed to be quiet, or smooth, or warm in winter, or fast...it's a Jeep Wrangler. They're like women, know what you want before you let one move in!
Always wait 2-3 years into a new model/redesign before you buy. The factory will always go back and tweak, upgrade, and fix small issues. I've seen off road videos of JLs and the automatics can shut off in certain situations. Something they'll no doubt fix. Wait a year of the diesel engine option and let them work out the kinks.
Great video😆 I am not to trilled about the Rubicon price ,I am gone to wait 3 or 4 years to get one.🤘
Problem with getting the turbo four, it will require premium fuel. I like the fact that they actually beefed up the front axle, easier hardtop removal, and tighter shifting manual. What I dislike is blind spot monitoring (something extra to get torn off), leds on the fenders, and hate the start/stop of the engine.
Also, FCA has nothing to do with the JK design. Except maybe the Rubicon Recon, and the was a improvement.
All off road enthusiasts should be happy FCA is still giving us the two and four door options.
Jason Dahlstrom actually I have the 2.0 and use regular fuel just fine. Yes, premium is recommended but, hey, I have no issues
Coming from 2003 Chevy 4x4 1/2 and 3/4 tons and a 2016 Colorado. I like the ride of a JL Unlimited rubicon a lot. It was definitely smooth. The Jeep and the 2003 chevys were all on 33s and the Jeep rides better than all of the above
I love my 2018 Jeep bad gas mileage but the ride on road it’s okay I’m happy.I drove it about 700 miles round trip it’s comfortable and good power very smooth on good road.
Very fair review. When I bought my first Wrangler, I drove down the road, wobbling. I thought, "What have I done?"
But that was twenty years ago and I haven't looked back. Most fun vehicle I've ever owned...
Good review but the talk on the ride quality was way over exagerated. Sure its no BMW but absolutely terrible?
I test drove one, it was noticeably better than my 2011 RAM 1500. not as nice as most SUV's in the price range, but it can't really be compared to anything else out there right now, as it is a unique vehicle. best way to find out is to test drive one and decide for yourself.
Yeah I drove one. It's so much better than JKs. I disagree on that one.
Sounds like a miata driver
A total exaggeration, i have a sahara JL and it is as comfy if not more than my uncle’s 2014 VW Tiguan.
Coming from a JK, my JL is far more stable on the road, less loose and has less body roll. I drove it from Oklahoma to Virginia with no back aches like my JK gave me from Oklahoma to Texas.
Please someone review a godamn basic jeep not a Rubicon with every godamn option.
Ok well just take this review, subtract all of the goodies from the Rubi, and there ya go.
Agreed... hard to find decent non rubi content anywhere
Like the Sahara with its multiple issues =(
Exactly!!! Lets see the capability of the Sport and Sahara. Its always the Rubicon....🤷🏽♂️. Why???
Godamn lol
you are good with words. Good review
I test drove the 2 door JL Rubicon today. It rides better, is quieter, and felt more comfortable than my JKU however I was not impressed. Ole Yeller wins again!
Excellent review. How about a full instrument panel and white gauges?
I don't understand why most Wrangler reviews talk about fuel efficiency and aerodynamics. There's nothing efficient or aerodynamic about a Wrangler!! It's a box on wheels. If you really give it some thought, it's one of the most inefficient, cumbersome, and actually useless vehicles on the planet. Yet... THEY ARE FRIGGIN' AWESOME!! They are made to play off road. I don't care about efficiency, I care about "Will it climb over that obstacle?" Function. Wrangler is all about function. Nice video
Haha. Thank you for watching! I see some wrangler drivers as: “That rock right there... That needs to be climbed...”
-Hansen
Sure you're not talking about a G-Wagen? That shit is a refrigerator on wheels.
Just get a FJ or 4-Runner...Toyota is the BEaST in every aspect💪😎👍
The problem is, how do you get from your house to that offroad campsite? Probably driving on the highway for an hour+. And there are a lot of Jeep owners that hardly ever take their vehicles off road, and at most are just going down dirt fire roads and the like, something that could easily be tackled by say a Golf Alltrack or Subaru Crosstrek or heck even a 4WD Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, all of which are much better behaved on the road. I really think we should have seen a modern suspension on the Wrangler (I don't think solid axles are necessary), a change to an aluminum unibody, which would drastically reduce weight and also help lower the center of gravity while still keeping the high ground clearance, and ideally the EcoDiesel engine option from the new 2019 Ram.
@@martinsamek5890 When is Toyota going to start putting true off road tires on their lineup? They only did it on the original Land Cruisers and then again on the FJ Cruiser - no other vehicle in their lineup came with the proper tires from the factory. I don't want to spend $40k or more on a vehicle and then run down to Discount Tire and throw another $1200 for tires on it so that I can go off roading.
I'd love a diesel with the 6spd, if you could yank all that emissions crap off. I don't want a plugged DPF putting me in limp mode on a trail. Good video.
Absolutely beautiful in a 2dr!
I want this car when it's released. It's coming to australia hopefully in late 2018. Good for hunting.
Ha, I had a courtesy car from Jeep while my WK was in for service. The Ford Fiesta (european version) 1.1 litre engine returned UK 22mpg (4.546 litres UK Gallon vs US 3.78 Litre which makes 18.29 US mpg) - combined real world. Funnily the 4.5 Litre V8 Porsche Cayenne we have almost returns that mpg number!
I am thinking about putting a 3.5” lift and 37’s on my JLUR. How can I keep them from sticking out so far?
I have the JLU ... longer wheelbase on the 4-door makes for a smoother ride. It’s still a brick on wheels & gets horrid gas mileage, but this is my 3rd Jeep and knew what I was getting into. My only complaint is the headliner should be standard & that’s such a minor gripe that it’s almost not worth mentioning. It’s a slow vehicle & will always reveal its solid axle design on rutted roads. If you set those real expectations before buying, then you’ll be good.
lol the rubery textures around the screen isnt to stop your hands from slipping its weather protection for when your jeep gets wet
Bought a new 2019 Sport S Wrangler. Polar package, remote start, hard top, and electric windows. Price was 33k and its a nice ride, Rubicons are for rock crawlers and for the average person over priced.
The best vehicle ever made
You can call that potential 700 hp model the "Wrangler Gas-Tank-Not-Big-Enough"... :)
In the 2018 JL what is the difference between the Rubicon Recon and just the normal Rubicon
Thanks. Looking to get a new jeep but so confused
Absolutely Love My JL Wrangler Sahara Jeep and I love I get to Sell them too Wrangler Customers are the Best!!!!!
Not worth $50k
Great review. The price is ludicrous.
Wonder why they won't release m/t with the 2.0T engine. Would be awesome to get a 2dr with the snappy turbo and manual.
Diesel engine, manual trans, pleather seats and no info center. Thats what I want.
I tell people my Jeep is the most impractical vehicle out there. But the only vehicle I have ever driven that puts such a smile on my face.
I got my 2015 Wrangler 4 Door Sahara in Tank Green back in March of 2015, I love it so much that I bought the Life Time Chrysler Power Train Warranty a few months ago. Gonna drive it till the body comes off the frame 😂 OIIIIIIIO
Does anyone have solid confirmation on the 3.0 diesel coming to the 2019?
Excellent review. This may be sacrilegious but I wish Jeep made a basic Wranger with the Rubicon hardware and fixed windshield, doors and top.
Was going to publicly shame you but then I saw your user name and realized I should give your poor soul a break
@@hellaacapella Ha ha thank you
wow your camera is sharp as hell! dont swing too fast though :) The happiest man on Earth has both the Wrangler + 4runner!
Great review. Thanks!
I want to get a new Jeep but am worried that I can’t afford it. I don’t want an old one, cause I really like the new grill and headlights on the 2018. Looks like I’ll be saving for a while. Currently I have a 2011 Jeep Compass, love it, but want a real Jeep.
hood vents aren't fake. I wish I had some on my tj as slow speed crawling really builds up heat in the engine bay
My JK vs JL comparison (for me, a 2 door Rubicon soft top)
My JL pros
-possibly the new 2.0 engine (I also like the Pentastar)
-8 speed transmission (much better than JK transmission)
-quicker throttle response
-soft top without ‘cross bar’
-soft top no zippers
-quieter soft top
-body color roll bar
-flat horizontal dash
-lighter/aerodynamic tweaks = better MPG
-real metal interior detail
-real hardware (not faux bolts) interior
-more inputs and other interior conveniences
-larger cup holders
-air vents for cooling under hood
-more rake in windshield (think rock damage)
-doors stay opened, and close better
-cabin is slightly longer
-doors remove easier/faster
-telescopic adjusting steering wheel
-bigger storage tub
-stronger and lighter tailgate
-better hood latches
-easier drain plug access (without needing to move carpet)
My JL cons
-auto start/stop (I’m not sure how to disable it)
-the bumpers (front and back)
-front running lights on fender flare
-too much digital visual “noise” on dash (me like simple)
-rear camera (I know I can take it off - and I will)
-no hard drive in radio to store music (I like that in the 430 in JK)
Great video. The content touched on some things I didn’t know, and i am an avid jeep fan.
Here is a question.
Why does the jl weigh so much? It has aluminum engine, aluminum body panels. It weighs 4,000 lbs, you say,
But my iron block, steel bodied 2006 rubicon weighs in at 3,400 lbs.
is it all the doodad technology weighing it down that much?
I wish they would make a stripped down version for offroad enthusiasts that was lighter weight, lighter priced, but with the dana 44’s and 4:1 geared transfer case, disconnecting sway bars etc.......
I don’t need the dash computer
Heated seats, electric windows......
Just want a simple good 4by4.....
Felicitaciones.Así es como se muestra un auto.en acción mientras se describen sus cualidades. Hay otros que se pasan 15- 20 minutos parados al lado de un auto y hablan y hablan ...Gracias.
I highly hope you're right about the v8 wrangler. This would incline Ford to have a 5.0 option in the up coming Bronco and that's what I would probably buy. Having owned two Jeep Jk's I can attest they are not reliable and one had to have the engine rebuilt ground up at 45k miles and they tried to weasel me out of warranty work.
The JL has a recall pertaining to the 8spd transmission...I hope that issue gets handled quickly.
I paid 60k for a loaded 2 door rubicon 2020.....probably paid too much...bur it will probably be our last new vehicle purchase....and.....we 💘 it...🚙.....💜💕
Awesome video! Did you ever think about waiting a couple years for the JL to be out before buying the JL? I’m in the market for a JLU Rubicon and I’m seriously debating on waiting for the JL Truck. But it’s gonna be a looong wait for me! Even though it’s just around the corner. Thanx!!
William Cooper thanx for the advice!
Mr.DeLaCruz 559 if you really want a wrangler now i would go with the jk otherwise wait 2 or 3 yeara
captianjessie1 thank you for the advice!
The 2020 Bronco is gonna take back its throne
own one, love it, cut down speeding tickets compare with sport cars I traded in with my Genesis coupe
My experience owning one so far...
Every ad, pamphlet, sales literature and even the sales pitch at the dealership revolve around it's off road capabilities. Yet doing things I did on a weekend basis with my 20 year old Wrangler TJ Sahara caused the yolk on the front inner axle to fail, taking out a ball joint and snapped an ear off of the now cheap aluminum steering knuckle. All on a brand new 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon!
First they tried to brush me off due to evidence of mud under the vehicle (for real?). The argument quickly escalated that I possibly hit something despite 0 damage on any other components. They wouldn't say I did hit something for sure, but since it was a possibility... they had an argument. It was also a possibility a part failed... just saying. When making it clear I couldn't be without a vehicle any longer and that I have to get it fixed, I asked if it needed anything else. They didn't know, as they didn't inspect it. They just saw it was broke and dirty and essentially just said nope unless I paid up. I was told they could see if anything aside from what they could see by looking behind the tire was broke, but I'd have to pay for a full inspection. At one point I was given the option to pay in "advance" to speed up the repairs and if the warranty kicked in, I'd be reimbursed. Ya, right...
Being jerked around between the dealership and customer service, I took my jeep elsewhere to get fixed. Doing so apparently waived my right to complain anymore or receive compensation. But after 2 weeks of being without a vehicle... it had to be done. It turned into 3 weeks after everything was said and done.
That's what 60k buys you!
I've posted this a few times on Jeeps facebook page. Which are all deleted and I am blocked now from commenting. Guess your only allowed to tell people to go ahead and void your warranty work, it's fun!
I'm new to your channel, thank you for your honesty..... from a jeep wanna be.
1:55 yeah, they got updated looks... the Wrangler is barely distinguishable from a 10 year old one, and most non-Jeep fans probably couldn't tell you which of the two is newer. The suspension is also barely changed, so that big highway cruising compromises are going to be just the same as a 2017. The biggest change is that you can get awesome things like Fiat/Chrysler's new UConnect, but its by no means a modern vehicle. Many iterations still weigh well over 4K lbs for example, so it got none of the chassis updates like the Dodge Ram, F150, Silverado and the like that saw significant weight reduction to improve acceleration and braking.
On aerodynamics, why not just look it up? The JK has a drag coefficient of .50, making it the least aerodynamic vehicle on sale in 2017. Literally, look it up, there is nothing worse available on the market. You are actually right that the JL was improved, but hardly, with a 0.45 Cd. A 2019 Dodge Ram, that has a big flat face and is hardly aerodynamic, has a .35 drag coefficient, making it magnitudes more efficient than the new Wrangler. I don't have numbers for all 2018/9 vehicles yet, but I would wager there's nothing for sale this year that has a higher drag coefficient than the new 2-door Wrangler, primarily thanks to the sharp edges and wheels that are outside the body and with essentially four parachute mud/rockguards exposed to the airstream.
I have owned my first Jeep Wrangler for a couple of years now. Its a 2015 Sahara, bought it used with 13k on it. I really have to say that on dry pavement I don't feel the ride is bad at all. A little bumpy perhaps, but all and all just fine. I live in Upper Michigan. Da U.P. and most of our roads are pretty nasty to start with. I have just purchased a 2019 Chevy Equinox , and I have to say that the ride isn't really much different than my two door Jeep! I am just fine with the ride, just not the price. 2018 for 50K??? Unreal.
Nice review. I don't own a Jeep, but would like to own a Rubicon. That said, the criticisms of the Jeep and the speculation about its future changes seemed unpersuasive to me. Also, consider recording a video with the top and doors removed.
Is the Rubicon available in a diesel yet?
Just got my jeep Willy’s 2door white 2021
I order a 2018 Rubicon 2dr in February 6 today is June 11 and no jeep what’s the ????
I have a 2020 rubicon 2.0 and it rides great on the road. You can fly over railroad tracks, go over man covers and pot holes and barley feel them.
This is the best looking car in the world. Especially in red black
I have the 2016 wranger 2 door and don't think u guys are comparing it to the newer jk. Which has the same technology as the jl it looks like. But arero Dynamics. U can be right on that. If a perfect world though. It will take years for them to work out the minor tweaks. By 2022 I'm hoping to see an electric motor. But diesel is definitely the start in the right path!!! I'll wait for the diesel and a gf and a job and a kid I hope. I love everyone and want the best out of this world.
so i am gathering that no one thinks the 2.0 diesel is a good option and you should either go with the 3.6 pentastar or wait a few years for the 3.0 diesel?
i cant escape this jeep i ordered my punkin Rubicon April 9th and the wait for it to arrive is agonizing i know its been five weeks but i am so ready for it to appear
Nuttty what was the ETA for your new JL Rubi? Would you recommend the ordering process over than picking from the lot? I know you get specially what you want when ordering. I’ve just never done it. I’m finally in the market for a JLU Rubi and I’m pumped up about it! Just want to see if it would be better for me to do the ordering process. Congrats & enjoy that sweet JL Rubi!!! Thanx!
Mr.DeLaCruz 559 i ordered mine April 9th they said 4 to 6 weeks no jeep yet
Ordered in February your wait is gonna be longggggggggggg
got a update D1- Gateline: plant has sequenced the unit for production, estimated ship date assigned"
Which means it being build as we speak
I ordered the punk in 2door rubi as well. Can’t wait to get it!!!!
How about the head issue?
It's a jeep, drives like a seventies pickup not terribly practical . I love it. Anyone who looks down on these rigs should stay in your bubble like cookie cutter suv's The diesel option should be available across the lineup period. Cheers.
I'd be happy with just the basic 5.7 V8 HEMI in the Wrangler .... but I don't think it'll happen ....
theres no need for it. its not intended for performance
I hope they change their mind on putting the diesel in the JL and not just JLU.
The deisel is so nice to drive
Thanks for the good, bad, and ugly. If I should come into some new $$, I will definitely put it down on a full dress Rubicon Unlimited. My LJ could use some company in the garage...
Cerberus 2004-2006
What is the death wobble
JOB WELL DONE / THANK YOU / NO B/S RIGHT TO THE POINT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOOD AND BAD / THANKS AGAIN
I had a 2011 JKU, my father is a huge complainer and every little freaking bump would get a cuss word out of him. He road in the JKU and I was already expecting complaints but he said "ya know this thing rides smoooooth." You know a 2020 will be that much better than the 2011 I had.
Screens 8.4 on your vid but I like it
Good review but I think you either fall in love with the Jeep or you don’t. If you love it then you’re fine with the bad and the ugly. And I think the good outweighs the bad and the ugly. It’s a Jeep thing. Oh and I wish they would bring back the 4.0L straight six I had in my 05 wrangler. That was a great engine.
The 4.0 I6 was shelved because of stuff like emissions. I just hope that there will always be TJs available
Mike Ferguson my first jeep was an 05 with the I6 and never had a problem passing emissions test. Had it 9 years.
@@RandomVelocity Had mine 22 years ...... love it, but it's time for a new one ..... if I could only buy a new one just like it (1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport) ...... has everything I need. Can't think of a new one that could replace it.
Disagree on the ride. Rides better than my 2016 Jeep Cherokee by far!
a jeep wrangler with 707 horsepower... now that scares me HAHA
Chris Meacham I agree. Zero ability to put the power to the ground on pavement and drive train destroyer in low in rocks or mud.
