I work in a Dodge/Jeep dealer here in Las Vegas. The wrangler Willis is the best wrangler for the price. The Willis come dana 44, rubicon suspension and tires. And is almost 7k cheaper than the rubicon. And the Willis name is iconic when it comes to wranglers. Just remember Guys get the v6 that’s the most reliable. All the wranglers in the service department are 2.0/3.0 diesel Engines
I agree! I mean, the 4xe's are a steal rn, and I love a proper Rubicon as much as the next guy... but you're correct that a Willys paired with the Pentastar is both a tremendous value and the most reliable option out there!
@@dee8135 It's fairly new, but it's basically a normal Pentastar, just with a different mild-hybrid starter system... so I'd imagine it should be fairly similar in terms of reliability!
I watched this video multiple times. On 12/23/21 I ordered my first ever wrangler jeep. I am in my late 50s and other than the one I drove while serving in the US Army this one will be my first. I ordered a Willys edition, Sarge Green, Unlimited. I chose the 3.6 L V6 mated to the 8 speed automatic transmission. Then I selected the options that I wanted. I also did not select options I considered to be useless. I’m looking so forward to being a Jeep owner. Thanks for helping be decide on which trim package to select. I do believe that it is the best bang for the buck.
Wow! I'm very happy for you and am glad I was able to help in anyway. Sounds like you got a sweet spec going. I myself just picked up a Wrangler at the end of the year (videos out on my channel if you're interested) and driving this Willys certainly helped inform that decision for me as well 😎👍
@@johnh8197 run! I ended up getting the 7 inch touchscreen but swapped out all my speakers. If you have any questions you’re more than welcome to reach out. Unfortunately when you buy these things, even if they are there on the showroom floor, the radios are not set up to go on. They are in transit mode. Kind of ridiculous because once I turned it on I knew it had to go.
I never comment on a video. Today is a different day. I'm going to pick up my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys tomorrow. It is a hard top yellow in color. This video has secured my purchase tomorrow. Thank you for the video. The jeep I am picking up tomorrow is the 2.0l and will be my daily driver. 42 miles one way through farm country in Michigan
Now that's a gem! Always believed the manual Willys 2-door is the purists Jeep.. good on ya! I haven't put a video out, so basically nobody knows yet, but I just grabbed myself a Wrangler too! Video will be out in about a week
After 6 months driving it, with only 3,400K I am waiting for my new 2022 Willy’s unlimited, I couldn’t get use to the 2 doors. I can’t wait to get the new one
@@lempira69 that's sweet! 2-doors are classic, but it's clear that Jeep prefers the unlimited themselves (392, 4xe, and XR only come in unlimited form) and it's quite bit more practical... speaking of which, I hope you were able to order the Xtrem Recon with your manual Willys!!
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the Willys does have the Dana 44 rear axle. It only has the Dana 30 up front though where the Rubicon has the 44.
Great review. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the exact model you just tested but the last hangup is hard or soft top. I can't find a soft top anywhere on a lot so haven't been able to test drive one for noise. My dad's YJ and TJ has a horrible top noise experience but JL seems to have addressed that issue and this looks totally doable. This is the first video I have found with a good example of the soft top in action. Great job!!
First of all thank you so much! And regarding the top, yes it definitely seems to be improved in the JL's both operation and sound wise. The real gem is the Sky One Touch top which gives you the best of both worlds. A bit quieter and more secure than the soft top, and with the easy to access open air nature of the soft top. Only downsides to this are price and the fact that you can't ever go truly topless if that's something you desire. Either way, all the Jeep top options are great for the JL, and TFL has a great video showing all 3 in operation called "We compare the 3 different Jeep Wrangler factory tops to see which one is best"
@@Reoniz yes I’ve seen the TFL video. As well. Just test drove a soft top and wow what an improvement from the old days. Decision made. Now if I could just get confirmation the auto can once again be ordered without e-torque😒. Not opposed to manual but would like a choice LOL.
Happy to hear! And ya, I'm a little confused regarding the etorque vs standard 3.6... but I'd probably stick with the auto here on the JL's... another area where they have tremendously improved
I have been driving my 2015 JKU Sport S since the day I drove it from the dealer. It is absolutely a daily driver, but remember, it's a Jeep, not a Lexus. It's a bit rough, it rattles here and there, but nothing beats the days of driving around with no top and no doors! Actually going to check out this exact model Jeep tonight! Love my JKU, but I think I am ready to give up the manual tranny for an automatic...and heated seats (a must here in Chicagoland)! Thanks for the review!
The JL is a big upgrade! My dad used to have a JKU when I was in high school, and I just picked up a 4xe (video on my channel if you're interested) and the changes are definitely noticeable. Both the fit n finish, but also the driving experience. The 8-speed auto makes that old 5-speed auto look like a joke (I would've gone manual just like you if I had a JK) Good luck, and thank you for your insight as a many year daily driving Wrangler owner 😎👍
@@Reoniz Hey, picked up my Sarge Green 2021 Willys JLU this weekend!! It was hard saying goodbye to my JKU, but man that Willys is awesome! Thanks for the great video, you got a sub from me!
Looking to buy a Willy’s Sport 4 Door all blacked out but w/ V6, a manual tranny, crank windows and soft top. I like simple and old school… less problems.
Greetings from Prince Edward Island Canada!!.. we just got over 70cm of snow here the last 2 weeks (28in).. could use one of those right now to get me around.. great review...new subscriber here!!!
Yes you are absolutely correct! I have heard the common consensus is that people call it Willy's now (Willeeees) as I did in the video, but that the Willis pronunciation is of course the more 'correct' way!
@@Reoniz when Chrysler first started using the name again they pronounced it correctly but stated that they got so tired of correcting people that it was just easier to just mispronounce it themselves. I feel that Mr Willys deserves to have the respect of having his name pronounced the way he did for his legacy. The soldiers that came home from the war pronounced it like it looked to them on the Jeep because most of them were not familiar with Willys-Overland and that’s where it started.
Rear axel is a Dana 44 front is the Dana 30 and Willys has a 3;73 gears set. Mine came with hard top and it was under 40k. Awesome I love mine to the point I drive it as my daily!
After a year how often did you rotate those firestone tires I can’t get a definitive number on it. I am mostly on pavement and occasionally on dirt roads and light trails.
I'm considering dailying a Wrangler up here in rural Maine. Lots of offroading opportunities, plus daily living. So long as I get a trim with heated seats and get a hardtop, I think I'm fine with that kind of life.
You definitely should be!! Since making this video, I picked up a 4xe Rubicon (videos of it on my channel) and I wish there were more easily accessible off road opportunities around me 🥲
@@Reoniz that's awesome! I'm definitely going to have to check out those videos. My sister and I are no strangers to off-road hijinks; she does New England Forest Rally every year and we're both getting into dirt bikes/mx so something like a wrangler is right in line for me.
I’ve yet to see an owner review on here but I just ordered a 2023 Willys with the Xtreme recon package. Pretty base except the XR and hard top bringing Otto 52k
I have an owners review on my 4xe! But yes, a Willys with XR is pretty awesome!! Didn't even exist when I made this video... drastically improves an already awesome trim imo 😎
Dude that was an awesome review and video! Love your style! I’ve been thinking of getting a Wrangler so much. But it wouldn’t be a small decision! Will see if I decide to take the plunge!
Appreciate it! After making this video... I actually decided to get a Wrangler for myself! You can find the video of it on my channel from a month ago 😅👍
That's the sign of a vehicle you truly love! I just got one myself last month... released a video on it last week if you wanna check it out! It's a 4xe hybrid 🙃
Very good review. You hit all the points I was wanting to know about the differences between the Willy's and the other Wrangler models. This actually looks like the best bang for the buck if you don't want (or need) to go full Rubi...
Thank you very much!! And yes, while I myself just picked up a Rubi in November (only Bc the 4xe lease deals were/are absolutely insane 😅) I fully agree that the Willys is the best bang for the buck Wrangler and even more so now that you can get the Xtreme Recon package on it!
I am curious, I see your comment was 2 months ago, are you still waiting for your Jeep or has it arrived already? I’m on the verge of doing a build and was looking for a current rough estimate on timeframe.
Your channel gonna be pullin in hella subs with your quality and consistency bro keep it up! If I’m not wrong your at the big bend ? I think I seen you on Turo lmao if so ima see you in a week to pick this bad boy up for a day or two✌🏻
Let me give you an update: I have owned my 2022 Wrangler Willys JLU for over a year and four months now. I absolutely love it. YES!! It’s a daily driver. If you drive like you’ve got some sense, I am currently getting approximately 23.3 miles to the gallon with the V6. Don’t hesitate if you’ve dreamed of it, buy it, you won’t regret it.
I really like the Willys myself as well. My next Wrangler will be a 4-door model. I have owned several 2-door models and time to get something a little bigger. My next Wrangler would be with the 2.0L turbo engine and most likely the Willys.
@@Reoniz I have been on the fence about the XR package. My only complaint is the wheels are 17x8 and minimal backspacing. I would prefer a 17x8.5 or 9 wheel with a little more backspacing to poke out from the fenders a bit. But the $3999 for what you get is very tempting
@@wranglerlife4ever42 trust me, I hear ya! I have a whole video on throwing 35's on my 4xe that compares it to the true XR I still think it's a killer value from the factory!
What’s the difference between a Willy’s sport and a Willy? Is it just power windows and power locks or is there any other difference. I was looking at a Willy’s sport because I like the bigger suspension and tires. But don’t want to spend the extra $6,000-$8,000 especially if it’s just power windows and power locks
Ya I believe the main differences are the power windows, mirrors, and locks... and I wanna say the infotainment as well. The real draw of the non-sport is the ability to tack on more options that aren't even offered on the sports -- for you it sounds like the Willys Sport is the right call 👍👍
I hear you but even at that I think you have to put more options than you had in this reviewed model. And let’s be honest, nobody is buying a rubi that bare bones lol.
A 22' Willys with the 2.0L would be the exact same as this one! The bigger 8.4" screen was an option for 21' as well, but unfortunately this one didn't have it. The only real difference between a 21' or 22' Willys is the option to get the Xtreme Recon 35" tire package!
i bought a 2 door willy’s v6 its not a bad at all daily driver. ride quality really isn’t THAT much different than my crosstrek I had which was fairly new also. Obviously gets harder to manage at high speeds >80 or so but the ride quality is still surprisingly good!
At altitude, the Turbos really shine. I had the 2.0L T in a Stelvio, no issues, ran like crazy. Rented a Sahara 20 in Colorado, I am sold. Great gas mileage.
So this is not my personal vehicle, I did however just pick up a 4xe (which also has the 2.0 along with its hybrid wizardry) and I get a just above 20mpg combined if driving conservatively and in the mid teens if aggressively
I only had this for a couple days actually, just for the review, but I've never heard of any major issues with the soft top. Especially if you're planning to buy a JL, the mechanism is that much better than it used to be!
I'm on the fence of purchasing a gladiator willys eco diesel. That extra torque has me wanting the eco diesel. I wouldn't mind a wrangler though. If I ended with a wrangler I'd pick up a smaller ranger for our property with acreage. Don't necessarily need a pick-up since I don't tow much.
Would you daily a Wrangler?
Been there done that baby it’s fire af

how is the steering? looked like it was wondering?
Ya know it's a recirculating ball steering, so it is gonna wander on higher speeds, but that was exacerbated by MT tires on this Willys

@@eric3007 that's fair! Now that the Willys XR exists (didn't when I made this video) it's a real winner value wise!!

i bought a 2 door willy’s v6 its not a bad at all daily driver. ride quality really isn’t THAT much different than my crosstrek I had which was fairly new also. Obviously gets harder to manage at high speeds >80 or so but the ride quality is still surprisingly good!
That's awesome! I actually just picked up a 4xe... I understand what you mean at high speeds -- Wranglers are gems at 50ish mph though 😎
At altitude, the Turbos really shine. I had the 2.0L T in a Stelvio, no issues, ran like crazy. Rented a Sahara 20 in Colorado, I am sold. Great gas mileage.
Yessir! The new 4xe hybrid is even better regarding the turbo power and gas mileage 😎👍
I daily my JKU. And the Willy's is something I'm interested in
I actually picked up a 4xe Rubi at the end of last year, really enjoying what it has to offer
Really great review!
Thank you!!
Can you put regular gas in it?
Is this mud-terrain tire good on highway at 75 miles/hour?
While it's not bad, it's certainly not ideal for daily driving vs an AT tire!
great video, thank you for sharing. this man knows his stuff
Genuinely appreciate that 😎
Awesome video very informative, thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it!! 🤠
My girlfriend just picked up one of these on Saturday. I'm super excited to get to drive it.
Sounds sweet!!
Good luck with THAT
@@eugeneenslow8563 LOL
What kind of mileage are you getting with the 2.0? I saw when you flicked through the info screen it was 15.7.
So this is not my personal vehicle, I did however just pick up a 4xe (which also has the 2.0 along with its hybrid wizardry) and I get a just above 20mpg combined if driving conservatively and in the mid teens if aggressively
2-door willys is the best version for city driving because of the reduced length.
Have you seen the TFL channel?! Tommy has exactly what you're describing... and with a 6 speed manual to boot 😎👍
"The Tall Boy Test" lol
Yessir!!!
Best informative video.
Thank you!!
I am planning to buy a wrangler with the soft top. Have you encountered any issues with the soft top?
I only had this for a couple days actually, just for the review, but I've never heard of any major issues with the soft top. Especially if you're planning to buy a JL, the mechanism is that much better than it used to be!
@@Reoniz Thank you so much. This is going to be my first wrangler so I’m excited!
That's very exciting... nobody really knows yet, but I just got my first one too!! Video coming out here in the next couple weeks
@@Reoniz thats awesome! Definitely enjoy it!
@@Reoniz can’t wait to see the one you got.
Excellent review 👏
Thank you 😎😎
Have been daily driving a jeep for close to 40 years.
Now that's what I call commitment!
This is exactly what Im buying.
Awesome!!
Just bought the same exact one! My daily for sure
That's clean!!! Great taste as well 😅
John pronounced his last name "Willis".
Yessir!! I've seen Jeep themselves refer to this as the "Willees" however, so I believe either works in todays context
Great review mate! In Australia, these models come with AT tyres but from all reports it makes the ride really smooth.
Ahh that's a bummer though... hahah the knobby's "look" properly tough
Big boys brackets for front seat made the driver seat very roomy. Easy install
I'm gonna have to look into that, thanks for the heads up!
Pretty good review.
Thank you 😅
Is it expensive to fix a jeep?
why do you have these close ups?
Cause I like em? Lol 🤦🏻♂️
Too bad they removed the diesel option, it is the best engine option for the Wrangler
I looked with pleasure.
Thank you!
And that's my tea!
Hahaha ☕️☕️☕️
Wish I could afford one.
I'm on the fence of purchasing a gladiator willys eco diesel. That extra torque has me wanting the eco diesel. I wouldn't mind a wrangler though. If I ended with a wrangler I'd pick up a smaller ranger for our property with acreage. Don't necessarily need a pick-up since I don't tow much.
Can't go wrong between wrangler and gladiator
I picked Wrangler mostly for the same reason, don't tow and don't need a bed
The diesels are being discontinued and it's over $100 for an oil change.
Never mentioned the diesel option. IMO its the best engine package offered.
You're right, I've yet to drive an EcoDiesel. Hopefully I get a chance before they discontinue it!! I've only heard great things
the tall boy test XD
Lmao... funny huh 😂
GREAT video. THANK You.
10/10.
YOU are Very Natural.
regards.
I love car ❤️
Thank you!
Iove Willys JL
It's a great trim!
2 door stock sport is now $36,000. lmfao. they are fkin nuts with these prices man. 5 yrs ago you could get a 2 door stock JK for under $24,000
willys make it? Betty don!
Ha!
John Willys pronounced his last name Willis
willys
😎🥵🙌🙌
I think the 4-doors look horrible
The old "LJ" is the best looking Wrangler ever
70+% buyers don't.
@@eugeneenslow8563 I know. Sad.
It’s pronounced Willis, not “Willies”.
Mr. Willys is rolling in his grave hearing his name being butchered
Yes I am aware, but even FCA refers to it as the Willys "Willies" so I don't think it's too big of a deal 😅👍
It's pronounced Sahara not Sahara 😉
Nice review, but the hand talking is very distracting.
Haha thanks, I'll work on it 😅👍
Bro you take forever just to get to the point. Can’t subscribe to that.
Jeep. There’s only One Original.🛻
