well, if you have any integrity intelligent and Common Sense, you should not mentioned them on your reviews, are you going to pay 91% or even 75% of MSRP on a 4 years old used car?
buddy no idea what you're talking about,... do you know what black book is and who actually uses it? Do you own a jeep? have you sold one? 91% is a stretch but has nothing to do with integrity or common sense.
As a previous owner of Jeep. I can agree with why people wanting to buy 4 yrs. old Jepp at such hign price. A previous owner has already done the work of befriending local dealer mechnic for you. Another word, all the little problems have been fixed and bad parts replaced, now ready for another 10 yrs. of worry free cruising.
Another well thought out and edited video. Thanks Zack. Having owned two YJ’s (Canada’s first 4.0 HO ‘Islander’ and a well used ‘87 Sahara) I love these things. But utility lacked with the introduction of that ‘TJ’ and since then ... I’ve lost interest. Besides the price just became too unattainable for a 2nd car. But now.... It may may be worth a look. I was impressed. Thanks again.

proof that people by with emotions and not logic :) The Jeep does look iconic and it is great off-road. It doesn't compromise to suit everyone but it is a hit with a niche which probably makes it so successful. There's a cult following.
Fiat has actually has done a pretty good job of improving the quality of Chrysler's vehicle brands, but they still have a long way to go. It was Sergio Marchionne himself that publicly admitted how awful the JK was during its first few years. You can thank Fiat for addressing the incredibly poor interior quality of the Wrangler in 2011 and introducing a far superior powertrain for 2012. Unfortunately, such efforts were too little too late and the JK didn't really get the love it deserved until it reached the end of its production cycle. The JL is the JK done right and it's the Wrangler we should've had five years ago.
That body roll at 9:47 though. They said things like "you can live with this one every single day" in 2007 when they went from the TJ to the JK too. If I daily drove a Honda or a Toyota, I wouldn't call it living.
My mom had one of these. I think as a Jeep, it would make a good off road vehicle. Although my mom didn’t use it for that. She used it as her grocery getter style car. For those purposes, the ride is just not great and it is a massive gas guzzler. With her driving, she somehow got it to get only 4 MPG. I didn’t even know that was possible. She also had problems with the rear defrost wire coming off along with the transfer case being broken from the factory. Assuming you get one that doesn’t have these problems though, I am sure it makes a good off road vehicle. My mom certainly wouldn't be able to drive hers now that she has a roughly 1 hour commute each day she works. That would be awful on gas especially with how gas prices are now, so she traded it for a Honda Civic. My overall thoughts on this Jeep. If you plan to go off-road frequently, this would be something to look at. I don’t really recommend it as a grocery getter though since that is simply not what it is designed for.
Noticed at 5:56 seconds, the cup holder in rear was falling out when he pushed his arm on it. By the way, you can get 5% below cost price (the dealers kick back) at a few shops.
Really appreciate your reviews. They're different from other TH-cam channels because most of the time you give a clear and decisive opinion on the car instead of just providing facts. And hearing a 91% residual value is insane. What other cars can get you that? I'd like to see more time dedicated toward comparing what you're driving to the other cars in the segment. So what do you think compares with the Wrangler? Is it the best vehicle of its kind? Is someone shopping for a Pilot or Highlander going to be happy with a Wrangler as a more fun option?
It doesn't have any direct competitors except the Mercedes G-Class. There are a few pickup trucks but no off-road ready body-on-frame SUVs. The last one was the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which isn't sold any longer.
When I first saw it, I really thought it looked better, and sharper than the old one. But it wears off again, and I go back to thinking about the YJ, and the TJ.. and just sigh.
I have a 4Dr V6 2018. V6 is responsive, auto stop/start is annoying, but helps with fuel savings as this thing is a pig on gas. I love the drive to work (no hwy), great visibility, a very visceral drive. I hadn’t drive am older model at all, but this sucks compared to my 2016 Venza Limited V6 in terms of refinement.

I thought that car sucked on gas for work at 11.5 L/100 kms. My Jeep only has 10,000 Kim’s on it now, but I only get 15L/100 kms for the same Daly drive to work.
zalllon I’m about 4 months in with my 2019 sahara. I went with the 2.0T. So far it’s been really fun. I had a 2017 Tacoma before and the Jeep engine/transmission puts the Toyota one to shame.

Great review. As good as it looks in video, it looks even better in person. Could this be, the most improved new gen vehicle, over its predecessor, that you have ever reviewed?
91%? Umm, how is that good? Like I get it, it holds its value, but if I want to buy this car, why would I buy it used when I can pay the extra 9% and get new? Especially an off road vehicle where you're not sure how bad it was used in the mud.
It's not all new ....it still the same classic look and design....and that's what makes it a great iconic car .... some improvements but same looks and versatility...
Did you ever try to drive one from coast to coast, I know a guy who went through 3 radiators driving one from Chatham, New Brunswick to Comox, BC on Vancouver Island, overheated really bad in the summer towing a small trailer.
Did price of the wrangler has gone up by a lot every year in the last 8 years ? That’s what driving the used prices up to retain their value. I believe they are now hitting the top of what they can raise the price which indicate that history might not be a good predictor for future retained value going forward (although relatively they may still keep their value pretty good vs other vehicles)
In 1992 my dad paid $13995 for a 5spd hardtop. $14,900 for the automatic with pin striping. We got it because it was cheap/cool. Not so cheap or cool anymore imo.
Pepper Shaker you’re referring to “selec trac” and yes that’s only available on the Sahara. It’s auto 4h. Others have 4h where you can’t really drive them on dry roads in that setting.
At 2:06, not just illuminate but blind t.f. out of all other drivers. Yes, it's more aesthetically pleasing; LEDs give modern look. But these vehicles are too high to be equipped with those. Agreed?
He keeps talking about new appearance items. Does the automatic transmission fall apart after a year or two ? Buy a new one with manual transmission. Old automatic transmissions are better than the new ones.
This video looks like it was made for soccer Mom's and it's not for those into off roading. Everything addressed in the video talks about cosmetic/electrical improvements. The bottom line is none of that will help while off roading; however this will: "Some of the inprovments of the JL over the JK so far that I've noticed....much larger brakes front and rear. Front inner C's are much larger and stronger. Axle tubes are larger diameter and thicker walls adding much needed strength. Carrier bearings are larger in the differentials." BS&R
@@Motormouth... Zack, back in 2007 I had a Sahara with a 6-spd manual, which makes me doubtful that FCA would go back to the 5-spd. Just to be sure, I went back and checked the specs of every year Wrangler since 2007, and there's not a 5-spd manual to be found. Maybe you were thinking of the old TJ?
You know what, you are right! I was doing this from memory and it was the automatic that was a 5-speed. I drove one last year and noted the 5-speed. It was the auto not the manual. My bad!

@@Motormouth... Thank you for your answer. Is there a specific trim that retained this value? (Don't want to over spend on a high trim with too much extra goodies that won't get back in resale value).
I'm good with my Tacoma. Off-roading, towing, practicality, reliability you name it. It beats this Jeep in any category. At the end of the day FCA can't come anywhere closer to TOYOTA.
My dad has a 2002 Toyota Tundra. He bought it brand new and it’s still driving strong. Has driven it various times to Mexico and back since he bought it. No one can beat a Toyota! My brother has a Toyota fj cruiser and it’s over 300,000 miles and he still strong! And what’s amazing, my brother does the least to keep up with maintenance 🤯 just thought I would share 😉
if the residuals were 91% after 4 years these things should lease for $100 a month with nothing down. if it cost $36000 a 36 mnth lease x $100 = 3600 which is 10%.
tmwall25 You’re forgetting interest rate which is 6.09% on the lease. Also Jeep would never set the residual at 90%. More likely they would set it closer to 60%. They are a business. If they get the Jeep back after lease end they want to be able to resell it and make another 10 grand off the next buyer. Setting the residual at 90% would lose them money on lease returns.
Aleks Lajzer One would have to buy it with cash and sell it to take advantage of the small depreciation. Then there's an issue of opportunity cost of the cash paid for the car.
Not a bad vehicle. But very overpriced. The powertrain is pretty mediocre but FCA charges BMW X3 money for a non-luxury SUV all because it’s unique. Based on the reliability of the last generationis not worth the price.
Louis Win it is expensive yes but not over priced since right now there are no alternatives. I off road a lot (not in a jeep) and there is no other vehicle that offers 2 beefy live axles, 3 locking diffs, sway bar disconnect, 2 transfer case etc. if you want to off-road and on road this combination is unique and since they have no competition they have raised their prices by a lot. Because they can. A lot of people including myself are sitting on the sidelines because of price. Next 2 years we will see some competition as the Ford Bronco is returning and ford ranger. That will keep next year model price increase in check and will push down used values.
Huh? The powertrain is hardly mediocre. Is it starting to show its age? Sure. However, the Pentastar is one of the best naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engines ever created. The 8-speed automatic transmission is fantastic. This is the powertrain the Wrangler should have had five years ago.
Pentastar is great. Driven them since the days of the 5AT in the GC.. Yes, it sure was mediocre then! But, not since direct injection and more gears.. and from everything I've seen, heard and read the 2.0t is fantastic as well.. Really anxious to try it with the 8AT because I've heard terrible things about it's lag paired with the 9AT... Pentastar is excellent though, especially the more recent ones.. Only reason i'd buy it over the 2.0t is for it's smoothness and consistent robustness. guy doesn't really know what he's talking about. oh well!
I just looked at a Rubicon stickers at $53K! Had big plastic bumpers. I understand there is an option for metal bumpers? lol... ridiculous. I love all the wranglers, but every generation looks less "jeep" like to me. These look nice but more car like/trend with the sculpted panels, the integrated lights, big plastics. The soft top looked funny, poofy almost like the jeep got a toupee or something, sure they ride nice. But ridiculous prices.
Any Chrysler/FCA is a lease only proposition for me.. even after three years the car still may fall apart at it's seams at any moment if it doesn't need it's second set of brakes and an entire new front end suspension.. That's just how they are.. GREAT product these days though, if you're lucky enough to get one without that damn service center addiction.
I don’t know. I agree that rams and jeeps do higher maintenance than other brands but for me it’s easy maintenance. Interior is hit or miss. My Jeep has been good to me but my ram is opposite both grab handles broke off and plastic got beat up from heat.
The 91% retained value is determined by Canadian Black Book. Here is the link to the information. www.canadianblackbook.com/2018awardwinners.html

My dad has a 2002 Toyota Tundra. He bought it brand new and it’s still driving strong. Has driven it various times to Mexico and back since he bought it. No one can beat a Toyota! My brother has a Toyota fj cruiser and it’s over 300,000 miles and he still strong! And what’s amazing, my brother does the least to keep up with maintenance 🤯 just thought I would share 😉
But you can't take the doors or top off. Boring
Can we get the Jeep Wrangler Sahara JL in Two doors?
Nope
How does that back up camera work when you put a wheel cover on it? 😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Ramsey Make a hole for it lol
Chris Ramsey 😂😂😂
I'd be more worried about dirt, grime and mud.
7:29: on the outside and the inside hilarious voice cut
if the residuals were 91% after 4 years these things should lease for $100 a month with nothing down. if it cost $36000 a 36 mnth lease x $100 = 3600 which is 10%.
tmwall25 You’re forgetting interest rate which is 6.09% on the lease. Also Jeep would never set the residual at 90%. More likely they would set it closer to 60%. They are a business. If they get the Jeep back after lease end they want to be able to resell it and make another 10 grand off the next buyer. Setting the residual at 90% would lose them money on lease returns.
Aleks Lajzer One would have to buy it with cash and sell it to take advantage of the small depreciation. Then there's an issue of opportunity cost of the cash paid for the car.
@@gs98999 Who does 6% interest thsedays? thats a serious rip off
Sucks they made the wrangler with the old 8 inch screen when all the new FCA products will be getting that massive 12 incher in the ram.
I thought there was a diesel engine for 2018-19?
Hopefully early next year
What was Zack looking at @ 2:01?
I like this car
Man I like it!
Not a bad vehicle. But very overpriced. The powertrain is pretty mediocre but FCA charges BMW X3 money for a non-luxury SUV all because it’s unique. Based on the reliability of the last generationis not worth the price.
Louis Win it is expensive yes but not over priced since right now there are no alternatives. I off road a lot (not in a jeep) and there is no other vehicle that offers 2 beefy live axles, 3 locking diffs, sway bar disconnect, 2 transfer case etc. if you want to off-road and on road this combination is unique and since they have no competition they have raised their prices by a lot. Because they can. A lot of people including myself are sitting on the sidelines because of price. Next 2 years we will see some competition as the Ford Bronco is returning and ford ranger. That will keep next year model price increase in check and will push down used values.
Huh? The powertrain is hardly mediocre. Is it starting to show its age? Sure. However, the Pentastar is one of the best naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engines ever created. The 8-speed automatic transmission is fantastic. This is the powertrain the Wrangler should have had five years ago.
Pentastar is great. Driven them since the days of the 5AT in the GC.. Yes, it sure was mediocre then! But, not since direct injection and more gears.. and from everything I've seen, heard and read the 2.0t is fantastic as well.. Really anxious to try it with the 8AT because I've heard terrible things about it's lag paired with the 9AT... Pentastar is excellent though, especially the more recent ones.. Only reason i'd buy it over the 2.0t is for it's smoothness and consistent robustness. guy doesn't really know what he's talking about. oh well!
Scott Bott you know you secretly want a jeep right? LOL how many disco buyers are off roading with it?
efibendor1 not to mention every one is a convertible 4X4 with the most extensive aftermarket of any vehicle on sale now.
Price in pakistan plzzz
I'm sold.
I just looked at a Rubicon stickers at $53K! Had big plastic bumpers. I understand there is an option for metal bumpers? lol... ridiculous. I love all the wranglers, but every generation looks less "jeep" like to me. These look nice but more car like/trend with the sculpted panels, the integrated lights, big plastics. The soft top looked funny, poofy almost like the jeep got a toupee or something, sure they ride nice. But ridiculous prices.
Send it and I'll give it a try
I like this jeep
I didn't like how cheap the handles feel on the latest iteration. Seems trivial, but it makes me skeptical about a lot of the other components.
You're right to be sceptical. I wouldn't trust any of their products.
Any Chrysler/FCA is a lease only proposition for me.. even after three years the car still may fall apart at it's seams at any moment if it doesn't need it's second set of brakes and an entire new front end suspension.. That's just how they are.. GREAT product these days though, if you're lucky enough to get one without that damn service center addiction.
I don’t know. I agree that rams and jeeps do higher maintenance than other brands but for me it’s easy maintenance. Interior is hit or miss. My Jeep has been good to me but my ram is opposite both grab handles broke off and plastic got beat up from heat.
My eyes said yes. My bank account said heck no, here’s your wipes and diapers. 😭💩
90%amazing
Can you tell me a price of this car..
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!
hhhhh I can not say it's my next car .. it will be my next ride game ,, every thing you can open it
thanks
