So, no more V6! Bye bye to my dream of buying one. What's the point of having a Jeep Wrangler if I can't hear the grumble of a V6? Pairing a Jeep Wrangler with a crappy, flimsy, weak 4-cylinder engine is a big mistake. I expect a drop in sales in Australia because of this poor engine decision
100% and the Tank 300 is far more comfortable to drive on normal roads which is what you need 90% of the time, plus an amazing interior. For $50k it’s a no brainer.
I bought my new Unlimited Rubicon last year when I heard they’re going to swap the V6 with the 4-cylinder. I wasn’t expecting to buy a new car so soon, but I couldn’t risk being forced to get the 4-cylinder. They’re plagued with issues in the US, whereas the V6 is going 300,000km problem-free according to many reports from owners
@@wapphigh5250 pretty good. I’ve got 15,000km on it now and zero issues. And it’s such a weapon offroad - took it to Fraser Island a couple of weeks ago and the speed it can carry on the inland tracks, without making it uncomfortable for driver and passengers, is insane
In USA, if someone has the 2.0t 4cyl engine, they won’t be able to sell it second hand, not to someone who knows what they doing. The most reliable engine is the v6 3.6l petrol. Used in the wrangler since 2012. I have a gladiator and a wrangler, both rubicons and both in the 3.6l petrol. My brother has the 3.0l diesel, and it has problems. Nothing crazy yet, but it’s definitely not problem free like both mines. Mines both have been completely problem free so far. 25k miles on the gladiator 2020 model and 35k miles on the wrangler 2019 model. Got friends who have 2018 jl wrangler with 80k miles another with the older jk 2014 with 150k miles and both been completely problem free.
Jeeps aren’t that bad, they are cheap to run and fix compared to say…actually the British people and poor auto reliability are no strangers 😂 do I need to explain?
@@MikesLARE BRITISH vehicles were notorious for reliability, with RANGE ROVER taking the prize. I had a grand cherokee and it was fine until it destroyed its gear box at 12 months. faulty seal. repairs were very expensive. Never again.
The Jeep has many engine choices in the USA. And all that you hear issues are the 4cycl 2.0t engine, the 4xe, and the diesel. The 3.6l v6 engine has been very reliable. It’s been used in the wrangler since 2012, and it’s known to be very reliable.
waaaay too expensive. and what's next? a 1.3L 3 cylinder ? how do you project a downgrade from a V6 to a 4banger as an "upgrade" :) :) :) you want gas milage? stelantis makes FIATs - get one !!!
The windows switches in the dash is just dumb design. There is no reason they can't be fitted in the doors. There is no need to wind the windows down if the doors are not on the car.
100k for a Jeep that rental companies use in the USA… Good luck!
I'll happily buy a Tank 300 for $45-50k, as a fun weekend off-road car.
90K?? And everyone was complaining about the price of the new Prado
It wasn't that long ago when you could pick up a sport for $35k Ouch
They have at least 2 things in common - inline 4 cyl and the price!
Halve the price and they might actually sell some of them. I've owned a Wrangler and loved it, but they are waaaay to expensive now.
$90k for a Wrangler. WTHeck??? I'm sticking with 2nd hand vehicles thanks.
I guess it is not USD but kangaroo dollar .

My god.... clean your lens... I had to stop watching , so frustrating.
Do they have the service department on shortcut in the satnav?
Yeah, I know it's the offroad icon but Tank 300 makes more sense.
Correct, having an inline 4 cylinder for $90k. What a Jeep Joke. Crash test not good also.

What size are the size and brand tyres fitted on the 2024 Rubicon models being sold in the Australian market? thanks
How are no reviewers talking about the drop 100kg+ in payload?
came for hurricane news. at least there's no added temptation here

How is it all going? I'd love one of these!

100k for 2 litres. Good luck.
A V8 one would be great or the V6. Very dear to buy though.
Across the range, in the US, Jeep is notorious for poor reliability and service according to latest figures.

Current Jeeps are heavily improved in reliability....

Golly the price is seriously up there….
2 ltr engine are we kidding ourselves $90,000 for a lawn mower engine
LOL that engine wont last 5 years!!!
waaaay too expensive. and what's next? a 1.3L 3 cylinder ? how do you project a downgrade from a V6 to a 4banger as an "upgrade" :) :) :) you want gas milage? stelantis makes FIATs - get one !!!
AUD$90k for a 2-Door Wrangler...??? Just watch those car yards fill up with un sold vehicles....$65k for a GWM Cannon Hybrid make far more sense..
We complain about servicing interval but landcruiser is way worse
Poor video quality guys. The glare was driving me mad
The windows switches in the dash is just dumb design. There is no reason they can't be fitted in the doors. There is no need to wind the windows down if the doors are not on the car.
You obviously dont understand it’s because the doors are removable and its better for electrical design
@BobbyDazzler888 well then why is the mirror control switch o the drivers door?
The price is up because the AUD is down. Australians can't afford American icons anymore. Welcome to our falling standard of living.
this renegade - fiat style fugly ront grill ruins it..
Made by a Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot conglomeration. What could possibly go wrong!

Any fixes to crash test?
