My heart saying: Rubicon My pocket says : Sport
Nothing wrong with getting a Sport and building it up yourself! -Zach
Same lmaoo
That lack of separation between the fender flares and the front bumper makes me nauseous...
This is North MURICA, not Europe.
No lie 😩
Im in SoCal and leased a wrangler sport. Surprised that it came with alot of nice interior stuff, but........this particular soft top V6 with 6 speed manual trans didn't come standard with A.C. That didn't bother me cause its not really my daily driver and Will run around with the top down in warm weather.
Sahara for me, thanks, I just want the comfort, the space, the manly look that I don't get with Sedans and to be able to make use of the 4x4 and safety features for simple trips, nothing too demanding that requires a Rubicon; I am not going to be climbing trees or crossing the amazon any time soon, no need to spend money in features I am not going to use.
My brother bought the Rubicon and took me around town...I effing loved it!!! Now I wish I could afford that. Don't want anything less. Lol
Shaun Morin one day you will get it best of luck
I just got the 2019 Rubi and I’m so in love with it. What color did he get?
The sahara suspension is for fast driving off-road not rock crawling like the rubicon
For someone that doesn't know much about vehicles & couldn't tell the difference between the 3....this video seriously helped me! Also, I've made up my mind on which to get when ready to purchase so, Thank You!
Timmesha Carter which are you getting? And why?
I’m still debating which to get
Which did u get
@@dexterrr9163 ok thanks 👍
We must know what you chose
What did you get?
I agree about the music. It seems like the producers want the music to compete with the narrator. It is just annoying. Otherwise, good vid.
I bought the Sport S 2 door 2019 for 33k . My son bought the 4 door Rubicon 2018 for 39k . The only difference to me is the repair cost if you are a " rock crawler " the Rubicon costs more for it has more " Bells and Whistles". But if you are like me a sportsman/ outdoorsman and also use it as a daily driver the Sport S is way better all around.
The differences are enormous. Dana 44s, heavier transfer case, lockers, 4.10 gears, sway bar disconnect. Far better off road and far less likely to break.
@@dr.michaelbennett8597 I have a JKU Sport upgraded with 35 inch MT’s, 17 inch wheels, and a 3 1/2 inch Teraflex lift. But I am running stock axles (D30 up front and 44 in rear) with no front/rear lockers or a swaybar disconnect. No, I’m not doing severe rated trails in Moab, but I wheel all the time in moderate/hard trails quite often and I’ve never had an issue with anything breaking or getting through technical off-road obstacles. Maybe I have been lucky but running 35’s on the Dana 30 in open diff has worked fine for me.
Cant wait to see these off road vehicles parked at every starbucks parking lot
Agree, so when they get to a point where i can buy one used, it won't already be beat to shit :)
You win
Idk if I'll be alone in this, but I want one for off-roading and I'll be taking it to starbucks when I study too. lol. No reason you can't do both. In fact, you might have to if you can't afford multiple vehicles (like me. lol)
How else is every one else gonna know they ordered a grande zucchini latte?
@@silverfox__12 sorry to burst your bubble but the wrangler doesn't go down on price very much regardless if it has many miles or a few years old. even the ones with 100000 miles on them are still holding their value. go do a Google search and prove me right..the wife bought a new wrangler sport s and liked it so much I wanted to buy a used one but the price is almost the same not worth buying used. I even looked at older year's with a lot of miles and they were still expensive..
This was an amazing detailed review! Honestly ive watched many videos trying to figure out the difference between each car & was confused if they fall all under the same car but different trim levels or if they were different cars seperated by years (idk if that makes sense) but this video explained everything
Thankyou so much , i have subscribed
The Sahara would be such a nice daily forsure. I really wish i could afford the Rubicon though😍
What about moab edition
John Mcclane fuck moab
#Sahara for me! Loving mine. Can't wait to upgrade larger tires.
How has it been? Been 2 years now
@@IncriminatedAntelope I sold it a year ago. It was fun when I had it. Never took it off roading, even after I upgraded the wheels and tires.
@@ernestsmall6175 interesting, why sell it? Especially after investing more money
@@IncriminatedAntelope COVID hit, lost my job and it was just sitting in the garage. I was able to sell it for a profit.
@@ernestsmall6175 oh I'm so sorry, I hope you're doing okay
Sport s with winter group best bang for the buck ..here in canada the sport start at 34.550 $ its may be just me but paying 60000$ for putting that in mud and rock made me sick 😉 btw nice videos buddy
Wow, that's nice!
The prices for the european (german) market are kinda insane. Okay, there's the 10% tax on top but anyway. The Sport S won't be available. :(
Dang right bro! 4 door here. Cold air package, hard/soft, alpine upgrade and much more 44,000
I wish you can reply after 2 years but i'm moving to montreal soon and need the sport, does it comes automatic??
@@nicsmjs7170 yes all trim come automatic
The 2023 pricing has gone full blown crazy town. A JL 2-Door Sport is now $33,000, and that's bare bones with manual trans and manual locks/windows, 0 options, basic soft top. If you add power doors/locks and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $40,000 !!!! It's insanely out of control. For reference, my 2016 JKU 4-Door Sport S with DUAL TOP group was only $32,000.
I will say the jeep looks so much better with a lift and a set of 35s
Todd Reeder if you’re white
StepzYT 🤣
StepzYT his pfp 💀
@G if you want to make it look cool you need to lift that sucker
I agree, and I’m not white lol stepzyt 🙄 I have 35s with mopar loft kit. Looks bad ass.
If the sport came with power windows I'd get it. I live in 2019 the age of drive thru. Miss me with that shit.
Put in a little elbow grease and crank that window down yourself. 😉 -Zach
I got a 2019 rubi with the top package, expensive but so very worth it
The Rubicon models definitely are mean! -Zach
gad dam music in a back ground spoils everything..
Regis Sermontis I agree
no need for blasphemy. you will have to answer to God for that. no need to spread that around
@@healthyamerican well, he said gad not God soo yeah
Don’t ever order from them never got my order and now having issues getting my money back
People used to buy Jeeps because they are cheap and cool and light and reliable but JL is not cheap anymore ! Actually in my country it’s more expensive than Nissan patrol or the mighty land cruiser ( lowest trim)
Cicada what's ur country
~$80,000 AUD here in australia
C Bonsall-Pearson god dam that crazy $80000 wtf
Land cruiser is soon to be no longer sold here. Not selling enough of them here not worth it.
I own a Rubicon, been driving jeeps since the CJ days and this JLU Rubicon is not only worth every penny but it is a piece of art.
I’m still driving a 2003 TJ. These new jeeps seem like they are just a totally better class in every way, far more refined than previous models. (Can’t knock the ole TJs though. )
The red dashboard is an option for the rubicon if you change the color of the seats to the light tan the dash board will be dark gray
My wallet said sport 2 door.. my wife said fully loaded rubicon unlimited with a stick.. oh well happy wife, happy life..
Wrong.
@@dux847 Hey, I never said it was a good idea..
I currently have a 2018 JL rubicon 2 door on order right now. I compare it to the Sahara and found the 2 door to be the best value. I'm just anxiously waiting for it to arrive.
looking into buying one, people keep telling me get a 4 door, looks better, what you think?
@@JimyOfficial 2 door if you're more inclined to do off roading and what not and 4 door if you're looking to use more so as a DD and maybe light trails.
@@JimyOfficial 4 door looks like family man station wagon to me..weighs 500 lbs more than two door and doesn't handle as well off road...
40k plus and no power windows ! Ouch 🤕 that hurts . I’ll keep my 15 JK pay it off and chill .
Ryan, great video thank you.
Please sack your musical director.
Thank you.
I test drove a new rubicon yesterday. Lets just say I might have an order on the way!
guess not...haha.
Awesome Dave I actually did, just ended up buying something else lol
Nicely done video Ryan. Congrats to all the new JL owners out there. Older JK guy here (2014 sport s). Stay safe on the trails.
Doesn’t Chrysler know jeep owners love removing the fenders for bigger tires etc so why tf are the turn signals on them
Because if you're buying a JL chances are the most "off roading" you'll ever do is parking in grass. I guess they were tired of the soccer moms putting mud tires on to "look cool" when they pick their kids up from school
Jeepoholic Your username is invalid if that is your attitude.
True
You can remove the front bumper though for broader tires
My heart is saying Rubicon but my pocket is saying Sahara 😩😂👏🏽 Good job on this review
Sameee
1:41 Trailer "Toe" and HD Electrial Group, I'm good on toes, thanks.
I bet it even has disc breaks
Holy wow! This is the type of video I’ve been looking for. Thank you. Thank you so much this. Definitely so informational
We're super glad to hear its helpful! -Zach
All that money and no rear view camera, no decent electronic system, foh

Which JL Trim is your favorite?
I got the JLU Sahara and I love it. Leather and cold weather package are awesome. It’s mostly a mall crawler (which I’m not ashamed of at all) except for the times I’ll take it out camping or down the logging roads to have a bit of fun. I had a basic 07 JKU Sahara before this and trashed it, so this is a nice luxury upgrade for me! Putting on the 35” tires this week will give it a nice look!
Natasha Brenner I need to know the girl in your icons Instagram because she is fuccin gorgeous lol
Is it good in the mountains like an awd suv?
R u in whatsapp
Kiran Prathap kizhakke mullaseri Dude you're a fuckin' loser straight up just stop it. What makes you think she's just gonna start messaging you on WhatsApp?? Im Indian and am completely embarrassed to be considered Indian because of all of you fucking weirdos in India commenting on girls pictures asking for their WhatsApp. Please just stop. JUST STOP it already. Have some sense of self awareness, no girl is gonna go out of her way to talk to you right off the bat. Look at your name for god sakes, Kiran Prathap kizhakke mullaseri sounds like you're an old fat Indian virgin trying to get girls over the internet cause you can't get any in real life. UGHHH I'm embarrassed to the fullest. The main takeaway here is, SELF AWARENESS. Incorporate that into your lifestyle and you will be a better person. I promise.
NATEmeetsWORLD Jesus that even hurt me and I’m white
I went with the Sport S black with soft top. Fits me good here in Cali
Same as mine but Red, at Seattle.
At the end of the day they’re all Jeeps ! No need to spend thousands on a Rubi to not rock climb ! 👍
sports s charcoal soft top. we love it..
@@rudycastro9814 yep
Differential lock is available only on Rubicon??? Cannot put as option like rear lock on sahara or sport?
As of right now, locking differentials are only factory options on the Rubicon models. You can always install an aftermarket locking differential though! -Zach
@@extremeterrain Zach, what is this? Have a website?
Rubicon is my dream off-road Jeep.
One thing they all have in common is they all will break down.
Something tells me with the new Wrangler I won't be able to replace the transmission in my drive way. My transmission has no software; just gears and bearings. But I do envy power locks. Not gonna lie.
I love my sport! I lifted it, got 35” tires and great rims. Planning to get more cool fenders and bumper. I mean if you are going to costumize it and don’t care about the power windows and leather sits, it would be good if you get the sport.
I have a base model Sport and I agree! I do miss having power windows, but if it doesn't bother you and you plan on upgrading parts anyway its a good way to save some money! -Zach
overpriced
Agreed. I was in the market for a midsized truck and was looking at the gladiators and was blown away by how much money they were charging for small improvements to the standard system.
I ended up getting a tacoma but the base gladiator wasn't far behind in my choice.
I got the 2 door Rubicon. Granite Crystal is the color. I'm just glad to be back in a 2 door.
I heard a guy say only two doors are Jeeps...lol
I’m going to get the Rubicon in Sting Gray!
I actually learned something! Nice explanations!
I’ll wait ten years and buy that Rubicon from a soccer mom, until then I’ll stick with my TJ ands it’s reliable 4.0
kalbs89 🤣
Not sure if you need to worry about the reliability of the 3.6L pentastar. Been around for a long time, very reliable
Very good clear explanation of the differences. As was the JL vs JK video. Thank you very much. Every Jeep saleperson should be mandated to know this info. They do not.
Sad to say, but when I went to purchase my JL I knew a lot more about the Jeep I was looking at then the gentleman trying to sell it to me! It happens! -Zach
ExtremeTerrain.com Yes. Mine too. Mine didn’t know what an unlimited Wrangler was. Did not know that meant 4 door. Lol...
I have the Mojito Rubi... no red dash, Silver. I wish Jeep went a little further and painted the dashes to match the exterior paint.
What do you expect for 50 grand? Lol
Sahara since I don't really go off roading. The extent of my off-roading is camping and driving through snow lol. Car looks too cool though.
I saw the JEEP logo, gotta clap for that, JEEP/Fiat is breaking new ground, amazing, in the end it’s all about family. Jeeps sports, Sahara, rubicons and now gladiators!!!!! I know what those are amazing!!!! I love jeeps I love the Italian fiats, but them together and it’s amazing, best combo ever, now Mario can drive this, Italian Plummer’s now can be proud.
I bought a 2019 Wrangler Sport S with the upgraded entertainment package. I had a few things high on my want list like a standard transmission and a funky color, and I ended up finding one in the Mojito (metallic green) color which I think is one of the best Jeep colors ever. It's pretty awesome so far.
How much?
is it still awesome? lol how many miles on it
False if you build mojito the interior dash is not red. Its Silver
I purchased my JLU sport about 2 months ago with manual windows and no power locks, but I have the hard top, side steps, Sahara wheels with all terrains, not sure if just the dealership but I was able to get other options as well if I wanted
Paint it white and slap a postal sticker and you have your ultimate postman
I have an 08 Sahara 4d I special ordered with all the options available at that time. the last yr they offered life time power train and It only has 60k miles. I love it. But I must say I do like what jeep has done with the new Sahara.
Sting ray sahara with rubicon wheels and tires. Love it.
Nothing like a Rubicon period.
Only slopomatics in the upper levels? Bad.
Rubicon. 2 door. Mopar package.
Turn down the music!
För helvete!
I love my 2018 Jeep!! It’s videos like this that inspired me to make my own channel!
I just got a Sahara myself... yeah! I saw this vid a few months ago n it really helped me a lot in choosing my sahara. Thank u for such a great video!
We're happy it helped! Thanks for watching and your comment! -Zach
What mileage figures you getting?
@@romeetsingh3788 I wanna say roughly 22 but it varies with the on n off engine feature. I'm glad I didn't get the turbo package model cuz then the fuel consumption wld have been worse.
@@fulmetalraven1 Your one with 2.0 litre engine?
Do u have rear lock or it is not possible on sahara?
Rubicon with a V8 dropped in, and dual exhaust would be my dream vehicle. :-)
With enough money you can make it happen! I've seen plenty of LS, HEMI and HellCat swaps! -Zach
Robecon is missing a 360 camera or at least side and front camera, that will make it ultimate especially in blind corners and tracks
Whats the difference between jl and jk
That question can be answered in the following link! We did a video on that too! -Zach th-cam.com/video/EbRK0kw15cI/w-d-xo.html
Love it!! Sahara team here!!
Am here for you dearie

@@rosapadillacalero6132 I just got my 2018 unlimited Sahara today. I call her nacho ❤️😎
Great Movie, you should make one that compare Sport, Sport S, Sahara and Rubicon in value loss after lets say 1year, 3 years, 5 years and 100 000 Km. Is the Rubicon going to last better in value than the Sahara and sport?
Finally a video that talks about the difference between the Rubicon, Sport, and Sahara models.
We've had it out for a little while now, so we're happy you found it! Thanks for watching! -Zach
@@extremeterrain Keep the great work! I Will Make sure to stay tuned for more 🙂
So sad that the owner can afford Rubicon but can’t get LED headlamps 😆
I like Sahara more than any other trim. because it has 2.0 litter engine. which is good for fuel economy and get agressive look like rubicon.
You can actually get the 2.0L in any of the available Wrangler trims! -Zach
I got a sahara, but damn that rubi looks sick
tarta exe how do you like the Sahara? How’s the road noise?
@@jamescampbell1743 I am having tons of fun with it, it is truly a do all vehicle and delivers impressive performance on the road. I got the one with the power top and road noise is bearable, but if that is a concern for you the one I test drove at the dealership had the hard top and it really tackled it. It is a fun and reliable 4x4, test drive it and you will automatically know if it's for you.
tarta exe oh nice! I’m looking at a 2018, hopefully in the fall I’ll get one 😂 Have you done any mods to yours?
@@jamescampbell1743 the rubicon already has all the mods that I am thinking of adding to mine, so if you are going to go for the classic lift kit and swaybar disconectors maybe have a look at the rubicon and save yourself the hassle.
I still have my 2013 2 door black rubicon with 2.5 in lift and 35 in tires. I thought about upgrading to a JL for about 10 seconds. Cant do it. Still love my Jeep 😀
I love my 2017 JK too. LOL! Keeping it.
Great video, but what's the difference between an unlimited Sahara JK & an unlimited Sahara JL
Jl is the newer jeep then jk.
My question is where are these people going to need a Rubicon? I take my Xj 20 miles out through rivers and mud and hills. They probably won’t go over a curb in these is what cracks me up.
I'm certain the Starbucks set will know what Dana 44s are about.
After mkt parts means getting the cheaper S model and start transforming your jeep seems the wtg.
AGREE! Makes more sense to go with Sport S. Build her the way you want it wheels and bumpers of your choice, Fox suspension upgrade, 4:56 gears and a couple of Detroit lockers for less the cost of a Rubicon. That's my version of a "Rubicon model" build for the infamous Rubicon trail here at Cali. Furthermore I'm not into decals, stock wheels, bumpers, a non traditional looking hood. Rubicon's are great for plug and play for non do it yourselfers. The only gripe I have is that I miss the all medal dash like the one I had on my 80 CJ-7.
Buy used save thousands.
I like the Sahara, but it's expensive. I need someone to buy me one!
you need a sugar daddy
Fully loaded Sahara! With upgraded wheels!
Thanks for breaking it down for us! I never knew all the differences
2 second cuts are obnoxious. Hold the camera still and let us look at it FFS.
pause the vid
What does JL stand for?
JL is simply a model code that Jeep assigns all of their new Wranglers in production. There's actually a different code for every different vehicle they make! It's also a quick way to designate what year range Wrangler you have, as JL only refers to 2018 and newer. JK is the previous body style for 2007-2018 models, TJ is 1997-2006, etc. -Zach
U pay 30k for shit quality jeep and gets 1000 year old interior.Overpced junk
Ok so I’ve found that the rubicon doesn’t have a huge performance difference from a sport a lot of it is just comfort technology. So if you’re planning to build a Jeep the sort is the one to go with if you’re gonna remove the bumper, fenders and replace wheels anyway there’s no need to spend money on fancy versions of those
Pretty much! You can always put lockers and sway-bar quick disconnects on a Sport model and have the performance be pretty similar! Rubicons do come with Dana44 axles front and rear though along with 4.10 gears from the factory, for what its worth. -Zach
I just wish they still made a 2 door Sahara
I don’t think many mall crawlers want a two door.
Always amusing with touches of dorky, I particularly enjoyed this one. While Miatas unquestionably provide a lot of fun for the buck, they don’t fit me well. I had one of the first ones and stopped needing to visit the chiropractor three months after selling it. Wanting to give myself something fun for a milestone birthday, I purchased a CPO Audi TT Roadster, which is a comfortable Miata with all the bells and whistles, but after months of considering various trucks, (shortlisting the Raptor and Gladiator), I spontaneously picked up a new Jeep Sport, and I’m surprised by how much I like it. While virtually everything lacks the bucolic Bauhaus interface of the TT, the Jeep’s appeal is in it’s simplicity and having the luxury of not feeling a need to keep it spotless. While fuel costs may be a concern for some shoppers, the savings from not having to repair the abrasions on the Audi’s 19” wheels (whenever parking too close to a curb to maximize it’s protection) is substantial. The Jeep just crushes it, and the curb squeals. While my buddy instantly took it boulder crawling, I’m unlikely to need the additional hardware of the Rubicon. For me, the Jeep is the fun little truck no one makes anymore. I have the two-door, and with its hard top and soft top, I can throw a bike in the back without a rack, and with the roof rack, I can have a platformed tent. It’s all great for camping and a once a month cigarette.
It always makes me happy to see people enjoying Wranglers to the fullest! Super happy to hear you love the Jeep life! -Zach
You don't have to be a "soccer mom" to like a luxurious Jeep. In my 20's and 30's my CJ-7, then 90 Wrangler, 92 Wrangler, 95 Wrangler, then redesign 97 Wrangler were comfortable enough. Then on to Land Rover's, Range Rover's, Corvettes, A few Ford and Chevy pickups, even a few Suzuki's Samurai's and Sidekicks, Harley's, here and there. 4-Runners, Pathfinders etc. No, I'm really not bragging, far from it. The point is at this point in my life I want luxury but still love the look and feel of a Wrangler. That said, every luxury feature in a Wrangler is important to me. Clearly there are a lot of young, small penis, homophobes, making comments thinking a real man should want an uncomfortable basic Jeep. In 20 years or so you won't feel like you need to prove anything to be a man and you might at that point want some luxury with your Jeep and not have to make comments about mom's, homosexuals, or your other manhood issues. Until then, give me a Sahara with every option and new for 2019 auto breaking and speed sensing speed control. I can have fun and be comfortable at the same time and I'm secure with that.
Very informative video. The Sahara looks like my cup of tea.
The Sahara is definitely a sharp ride! Thanks for watching! -Zach
I’m looking into getting the Sahara but new to wranglers. Is there any set backs as far as lifts and mods when it comes to the Sahara?
Leo Carrillo I just got it a week ago and I love it!
If you are looking to do a lift past 3inches some additional mods that will maintain the same preformance are driveshaft, gear axel and. Flash cal. Tire size doesn’t depend on the mods mentioned before.
Prices? Come on
Bad welds,steering issues,$50k + msrp..Doesn’t sound too tempting.
Just got a 2018 rubicon, but the dashboard is all black it’s not red , I don’t know why
That Sahara cold af ❄️❄️❄️🤧🤧🤧🤧👀👀🔥
it could be a good review, if it wasnt' that fucking noise on the background.......
O yeah, I forgot. I really like the red dash in the Rubicon.
My 2017 Sahara JKU is the best!
🧐 no power windows for à 2018 vehicle... get the fuck out !
Getting a used Rubicon than a sport and be made i have to park and ride with someone that for the right roof from the start.
a bullshit advertisment
I have the Sahara thank the lord for blessing me with my dream car, it's really no big difference between the Rubicon really, to be honest. you can get the same upgrades it's just all about what body type you like out of the 2. The Rubicon has an bigger front frame the Sahara has an more narrow
Front and rear lockers, 33" all terrain tires, different interior trim pieces, steel bumpers and an electronic swaybar disconnect are the biggest differences between the Sahara and Rubicon. You can get all of these things in the aftermarket if you want to - but for some people its easier to buy it with them already installed. -Zach
Was the rubicon auto or manual?
The Rubicon in this video was an automatic, but you can still purchase one with a 6-speed manual with the V6! -Zach
