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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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. )
being from the southern USA and seeing you standing outside in that blazing sunlight without you being soaked in sweat was like a feature in this video. the windows were down the entire time in every vehicle too without you having to rub any heat off with a towel or something. that's awesome.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
As of right now, locking differentials are only factory options on the Rubicon models. You can always install an aftermarket locking differential though! -Zach
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!
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.

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.
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
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
We had Jeep Rubicons at work. My job requires frequent off roading. I took a Jeep once just to see if I could get stuck, and try out all the Rubicon features. I stayed in 4 high the whole time. I never got stuck ot high center. I never got to see how the axle lockers really worked. The standard 4x4 on a Jeep is all you really need. The added Rubicon features just make your jeep heavier. The Rubicon badging is more of a "Road Queen" marketing strategy. The towing package upgrades are definitely legit. Enjoy.
Agree to disagree, especially depending on what kind of off-roading you're looking at. Any Jeep can handle light trails, small rocks, shallow mud and gravel. Stock Spors or Saharas will absolutely get the job done in most cases like this on on muddy construction sites, especially once you manually disconnect the front swaybar. But if you plan on adding 35s or 37s and going rock crawling often, having front and rear lockers, electronic swapbar disconnects, 4.10 gears, Dana44s front and rear, and having a lower range transfer case all from the factory will help a *lot*. Does it help with marketing? Sure. But the package definitely has a purpose for those going to wheel it. -Zach
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.
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.
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.
Actually, all Wrangler JL models excluding the Rubicon come with 3.45 gears. The Rubicon will be the only model with something different and they come with 4.10s. -Zach
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. :(
The Sahara is only available in the 4 door. If you don't like the red dash on the Rubicon, a grey dash is standard when you order the tan leather seats or if you order certain exterior paint colors.
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)
I was hoping for a look under.The Sahara is supposed to have improved cooling and a couple skid plates,where the Rubicon has full set of skid plates and...?This did help allot though.TY.
Just got my wife a 2018 sahara yesterday. Seems nice so far but still need to get used to it coming from a charger but it’s hers so I figured if that’s what she wanted 🤷♂️
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the sport s trim does also have the option to color match the fenders? I recently rented a JL and I believe it was the sport S as it had paint matched fenders, along with paint matched hard top, and lots of leather in the interior. I’d say it was pretty loaded out, but it wasn’t a Sahara.
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 have a '16 Weangler Sahara Unlimited with the body colored top and fenders. Red. And i like how mije still looks somewhat like the older ones, without being old. Its gonna be for my son when he starts driving. I use freeway alot so it has 40k miles
Thank You for this video I've personally always wanted to know what you get in these packages, now I know exactly what I want. Thank You and have a Blessed day everyone
I got a 07 wrangler unlimited 62k mileages. Upgraded oem parts to it. After over 10 years the sport model is basically the same as what I have. I figure Jeep would give you an upgrade after all these years
Nicer-built interior, back up cameras, push-button start, option for a 2.0L Turbo engine with *wayyyy* more horsepower and torque than the old 3.8L V6, better ride suspension from the factory... Should I keep going? 😇 You should take a new JL Sport for a test drive! While they're still reletively bare-bones, they're pretty damn nice! I have an 18' Sport and its absolutely nicer than my fathers 13' Sport. -Zach
@@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.
@@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.
SUBSCRIBE: terrain.jp/SubscribeXTyt Check out Parts for your Jeep Wrangler Right here: www.extremeterrain.com/throttle-out-sept2018.html Which JL Trim is your favorite?
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.
Pretty close to it! You can always purchase normal swaybar disconnects to match the Rubicons electronic system, and you can install a rear locker to help out off-road if you want! Both of those components together will have the performance super similar. -Zach
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.
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?
I don't believe we plan on refreshing this video for 2020 as not too many things have changed since 2018, honestly. We did however touch on two of the new Wrangler editions coming out for 2020 in our most recent Jeep news video! FCA is bringing back the Willys Edition, as well as the Black and Tan and Oscar Mike! The 3.0L diesel engine option will become available soon too! Check out the following link for more information! -Zach th-cam.com/video/VDDYFf9x_ZA/w-d-xo.html
I believe the Overland is only an option overseas, not in the United States. I believe its similar to the Sahara though! And I wasn't made aware of any exclusive paint options either. -Zach
@@tbaker077 There hasn't been any factory tan paint options yet available from the factory, so it's possible what you saw was something custom. Either way in the US market there's not an overland edition you can order. Not quite sure what you saw unfortunately. -Zach
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
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)
@@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..
You should check out and test drive both! Sahara models and extremely nice on the inside with their leather trim and seats. Sport S models can be just as nice, but won't have as many luxury options as standard equipment. -Zach
You should look into a Sport S Wrangler if you want to save a little bit of money but still want options like heated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, power windows, and LED lights now that they're optional on lower trims! If you NEED paint matched fenders and nice leather seats though - the Sahara is the way to go if you have the budget! -Zach
I have always loved the Wrangler and j can swear good by them and now that I have one it is so hard to find any good close trails up here in Maine well cause I don't know much up here I am from CT
Looking into jeep, like what I see, willing to buy, but however, despite all attempts to understand the 6,239,428.32584 & a 1/2 different models available from the factory, with no modifications, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is intended to be communicated by: JK, JL, JLU, YJ, CJ, ect.... do these letter combinations indicate years of manufacture?
Yep! Those different two-letter abbreviations refer to the different year ranges and body types (four door or two door) of Wrangler and CJ models. JL and JLU are the newest model Wrangler from 2018-2021. JK and JKU are from 2008 to 2018. TJ and LJ from 1997-2006, and YJ from 1996-1987. Anything before that actually wasn't a Wrangler, but they were Jeep CJ's. Hope this helps! -Zach
I wish the Shara could come with the rubicon wheels so it’s more equipped for off roading. I love the bit of luxury the Sahara has it’s just the wheels that are preventing me from buying it. Does anyone know if i could get wheels like the rubicons on the Sahara?
You might be able to ask a local dealership to see if they can work something out for you! From the factory, having Rubicon wheels on a Sahara is not going to be an option you can readily choose though. -Zach
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.
Upgraded from a 2013 Sport in black to a 2018 JL Rubicon in color granite and it is a way better ride. But have had issues with radio and other parts on a brand new car! Should have waited for a 2019...
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.

Actually, all Wrangler JL models excluding the Rubicon come with 3.45 gears. The Rubicon will be the only model with something different and they come with 4.10s. -Zach
@@extremeterrainwhy is rubicon so expensive 😩
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 Sahara is only available in the 4 door. If you don't like the red dash on the Rubicon, a grey dash is standard when you order the tan leather seats or if you order certain exterior paint colors.
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.
The 84:1 rock crawl ratio mentioned in the video is actually the ratio when choosing the manual transmission, the auto transmission is 77.2:1
Really? 😔
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
I was hoping for a look under.The Sahara is supposed to have improved cooling and a couple skid plates,where the Rubicon has full set of skid plates and...?This did help allot though.TY.
I’m going to get the Rubicon in Sting Gray!
Just got my wife a 2018 sahara yesterday. Seems nice so far but still need to get used to it coming from a charger but it’s hers so I figured if that’s what she wanted 🤷♂️
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the sport s trim does also have the option to color match the fenders? I recently rented a JL and I believe it was the sport S as it had paint matched fenders, along with paint matched hard top, and lots of leather in the interior. I’d say it was pretty loaded out, but it wasn’t a Sahara.
Sting ray sahara with rubicon wheels and tires. Love it.
Can you explain a Moab comparison to rubicon please
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 have a '16 Weangler Sahara Unlimited with the body colored top and fenders. Red. And i like how mije still looks somewhat like the older ones, without being old. Its gonna be for my son when he starts driving. I use freeway alot so it has 40k miles
Thank You for this video I've personally always wanted to know what you get in these packages, now I know exactly what I want. Thank You and have a Blessed day everyone
Thanks for watching! -Zach
I'm about to get my first car and I was interested in the jeep so this video helped thank you
Thanks for watching! -Zach
I have a sport S and love it perfect mix of form and function for a low-ish price
It's definitely a great trim level for all of your creature comforts without paying for a Sahara or Rubicon! -Zach
I got a 07 wrangler unlimited 62k mileages. Upgraded oem parts to it. After over 10 years the sport model is basically the same as what I have. I figure Jeep would give you an upgrade after all these years
Nicer-built interior, back up cameras, push-button start, option for a 2.0L Turbo engine with *wayyyy* more horsepower and torque than the old 3.8L V6, better ride suspension from the factory... Should I keep going? 😇 You should take a new JL Sport for a test drive! While they're still reletively bare-bones, they're pretty damn nice! I have an 18' Sport and its absolutely nicer than my fathers 13' Sport. -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.
Very informative video. The Sahara looks like my cup of tea.
The Sahara is definitely a sharp ride! Thanks for watching! -Zach
Great video, but what's the difference between an unlimited Sahara JK & an unlimited Sahara JL
Jl is the newer jeep then jk.
Robecon is missing a 360 camera or at least side and front camera, that will make it ultimate especially in blind corners and tracks
I love my 2018 Jeep!! It’s videos like this that inspired me to make my own channel!
1:41 Trailer "Toe" and HD Electrial Group, I'm good on toes, thanks.
I bet it even has disc breaks

Which JL Trim is your favorite?
Just got a SAHARA in friday, love this toy
Congrats on the new Jeep! -Zach
ExtremeTerrain.com thank you! Now i have feeling that i need 2 door rubicon though 😅
I heard that the Rubicon also comes with heavy duty upgraded brakes, which the other models don't have. Is this true?
Rubicons and Sahara model Wranglers beefier brake pads and rotors compared to Sport and Sport S models - that is right! -Zach
What about the calipers, I read elsewhere that the OEM Big Brake kit came standard on the Rubicon models.
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
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
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.
If I get a Sahara and buy like buy big tires and the other good stuff! Would it be good as a Rubicon?
Pretty close to it! You can always purchase normal swaybar disconnects to match the Rubicons electronic system, and you can install a rear locker to help out off-road if you want! Both of those components together will have the performance super similar. -Zach
Great review! 2021 willys team here
Thanks for watching, Tori! I love the Willys edition Wranglers, hope you're enjoying yours too! -Zach
Am here for you
I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport.
Is it possible to turn that into a Rubicon by adding parts to it yes or no?
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
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?
When are you going to update this video with the 2020 JL trims?
I don't believe we plan on refreshing this video for 2020 as not too many things have changed since 2018, honestly. We did however touch on two of the new Wrangler editions coming out for 2020 in our most recent Jeep news video! FCA is bringing back the Willys Edition, as well as the Black and Tan and Oscar Mike! The 3.0L diesel engine option will become available soon too! Check out the following link for more information! -Zach

ExtremeTerrain.com thanks for the reply!
So where does the overland model fit here? Also, doesn't the Sahara, get a exclusive color option not available on the other models?
I believe the Overland is only an option overseas, not in the United States. I believe its similar to the Sahara though! And I wasn't made aware of any exclusive paint options either. -Zach
@@extremeterrain I've seen the overland model in the US. And the Sahara color I think was the sandy tan color, but that maybe no more?
@@tbaker077 There hasn't been any factory tan paint options yet available from the factory, so it's possible what you saw was something custom. Either way in the US market there's not an overland edition you can order. Not quite sure what you saw unfortunately. -Zach
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
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...
My heart is saying Rubicon but my pocket is saying Sahara 😩😂👏🏽 Good job on this review
Sameee
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..
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
That Sahara cold af ❄️❄️❄️🤧🤧🤧🤧👀👀🔥
I went from a 2018 sport s JL to a 2020 Sahara JL ! Best decision of my life lol
The Saharas are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for watching! -Zach
Wanted a Sahara but with two door and 6MT no longer available, I landed on the Rubicon.
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
I actually learned something! Nice explanations!
O yeah, I forgot. I really like the red dash in the Rubicon.
Are there any wranglers that I can NOT use as a towable behind a class A RV?
First time I get everything in one video to explain the trims
I want the Sport S or Sahara but I don’t know which one
You should check out and test drive both! Sahara models and extremely nice on the inside with their leather trim and seats. Sport S models can be just as nice, but won't have as many luxury options as standard equipment. -Zach
Looked at the Sahara and the Rubicon, bought the Rubicon - pretty much loaded. love it but it did cost a bit. 2021
Rubicons are a great option though! They pretty much have anything you need to get started off-roading right away! -Zach
Just got a 2018 rubicon, but the dashboard is all black it’s not red , I don’t know why
Can u help me choose, I like both the Sport and Sahara
You should look into a Sport S Wrangler if you want to save a little bit of money but still want options like heated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, power windows, and LED lights now that they're optional on lower trims! If you NEED paint matched fenders and nice leather seats though - the Sahara is the way to go if you have the budget! -Zach
Great video! But about the steel bumper, I believe you do need additional hardware, the winch plate.. Correct me if I'm wrong please :)
I have always loved the Wrangler and j can swear good by them and now that I have one it is so hard to find any good close trails up here in Maine well cause I don't know much up here I am from CT
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
Forgot to mention sahara comes with the color fenders.
Looking into jeep, like what I see, willing to buy, but however, despite all attempts to understand the 6,239,428.32584 & a 1/2 different models available from the factory, with no modifications, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is intended to be communicated by: JK, JL, JLU, YJ, CJ, ect.... do these letter combinations indicate years of manufacture?
Yep! Those different two-letter abbreviations refer to the different year ranges and body types (four door or two door) of Wrangler and CJ models. JL and JLU are the newest model Wrangler from 2018-2021. JK and JKU are from 2008 to 2018. TJ and LJ from 1997-2006, and YJ from 1996-1987. Anything before that actually wasn't a Wrangler, but they were Jeep CJ's. Hope this helps! -Zach
@@extremeterrain yes! 👍thankyou, that does help.
I wish the Shara could come with the rubicon wheels so it’s more equipped for off roading. I love the bit of luxury the Sahara has it’s just the wheels that are preventing me from buying it. Does anyone know if i could get wheels like the rubicons on the Sahara?
You might be able to ask a local dealership to see if they can work something out for you! From the factory, having Rubicon wheels on a Sahara is not going to be an option you can readily choose though. -Zach
ExtremeTerrain.com thank you so much this was really helpful!
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.
Upgraded from a 2013 Sport in black to a 2018 JL Rubicon in color granite and it is a way better ride. But have had issues with radio and other parts on a brand new car! Should have waited for a 2019...
So if all the option on the Sahara, it’ll be coming at rubicon price #?
You can absolutely option-out the Sahara to be more expensive than the Rubicon, if you really want to. -Zach
What about the MOAB?
he made this when it wasn't available
What about it?
