My experience owning one so far... Every ad, pamphlet, sales literature and even the sales pitch at the dealership revolve around it's off road capabilities. Yet doing things I did on a weekend basis with my 20 year old Wrangler TJ Sahara caused the yolk on the front inner axle to fail, taking out a ball joint and snapped an ear off of the now cheap aluminum steering knuckle. All on a brand new 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon! First they tried to brush me off due to evidence of mud under the vehicle (for real?). The argument quickly escalated that I possibly hit something despite 0 damage on any other components. They wouldn't say I did hit something for sure, but since it was a possibility... they had an argument. It was also a possibility a part failed... just saying. When making it clear I couldn't be without a vehicle any longer and that I have to get it fixed, I asked if it needed anything else. They didn't know, as they didn't inspect it. They just saw it was broke and dirty and essentially just said nope unless I paid up. I was told they could see if anything aside from what they could see by looking behind the tire was broke, but I'd have to pay for a full inspection. At one point I was given the option to pay in "advance" to speed up the repairs and if the warranty kicked in, I'd be reimbursed. Ya, right... Being jerked around between the dealership and customer service, I took my jeep elsewhere to get fixed. Doing so apparently waived my right to complain anymore or receive compensation. But after 2 weeks of being without a vehicle... it had to be done. It turned into 3 weeks after everything was said and done. That's what 60k buys you! I've posted this a few times on Jeeps facebook page. Which are all deleted and I am blocked now from commenting. Guess your only allowed to tell people to go ahead and void your warranty work, it's fun!
OriginalTeddy this is exactly what’s stopping me from buying the newer jeeps, they were once reliable but as soon as fiat took over.. i’m still thinking about buying a wrangler, either this or a 4runner
Dude, your reviews need some polishing. Nothing about the lift, tire, wheel combo? We bought the unlimited sport with no power anything, as a Jeep should be! Actually we wish we had remote keyless entry and electric mirrors. Mileage sucks ass but we will wait for the ecodiesel later on in the year and that should see 28mpg for now the 14 mpg kinda sucks but we knew it is what it is. 30k for a new Jeep 4 door we are happy.
The V6 Pentastar has 285hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, it has 18 more horsepower than the four cylinder turbo but it has 35 less lb-ft of torque. You’ll get better MPG with the Turbo, that’s a sure thing.
I have this one and is it just me or you can’t use your aux while driving AND while not moving as well because the screen turns off and makes this loud noise 🤨😟
I had a cousin own a 2015 Sahara and he made a trip to Virginia from Kentucky and said that it would overheat and they had to give it breaks, that when he got back took it to the dealer and they told him that it’s not built for really long trips, I was surprised to hear that actually. And on overpriced? The old model I would agree no doubt, because of the cheap interior material. The new one, probably fair for the price. I made a video about the previous gen Wrangler, check it out you’ll see the HUGE difference!
It’s lifted, you can’t get 35” tires under a stock Jeep, well you can but it would rub when turning with any articulation with the suspension. I assume it is a 2.5”-3.5” lift.

Everyone know these are pos. “It’s a Jeep thing” I guess. They do look nice though
can't wait to try it
Have you yet?

Working on it. Sucks that the diesel version is only available in a manual transmission.
It looks like the one I just got but mine has soft top on it
The side does look different this one is a bit more curved. The 2018 is more boxed.
Yes, but overall not so much difference.
JhonnyTube Ah it’s pretty noticeable (Atleast for me)
Just curious -- what's the point of the 4 door MOD on the wrangler?? any insight?
What do you mean?
good on jeep for stepping up the technology! that dash looks nice!
It’s a Must Have Now!
I have this Jeep it’s awesome! . LIKE TO do the Jeep wave 👋 ✌🏼
The Jeep community is a whole different thing.
It’s NOT a car. That’s rule #1
Sorry, I’m just used to reviewing cars so I kept mixing the terms 😂
Rule
You know what you're talking about
Looking at jeeps now, not sure if I wanna go with the unlimited sport S 3.6l v6 or the 2.0l v8 turbo
The V6 Pentastar has 285hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, it has 18 more horsepower than the four cylinder turbo but it has 35 less lb-ft of torque. You’ll get better MPG with the Turbo, that’s a sure thing.
Well...its not a 2.0L V8 turbo...I'm sure that's a typo...is a 2.0L V4.
dorelse It’s not a V4 either, it’s an in-line 4
Thorough 👍🏿
Thank you!
Great review!
Thank you!
I have this one and is it just me or you can’t use your aux while driving AND while not moving as well because the screen turns off and makes this loud noise 🤨😟
Basically I can’t use my aux at all so I just connect it to Bluetooth but I can’t charge my phone
Couldn’t tell you honestly, I just reviewed it don’t personally own it. But if that’s a common thing, I’m sure that pretty annoying.
Looking for distinct differences between the 2019 sport and Sahara
Won’t find much on the exterior, mostly interior and under the body with suspension.
Which exact model is this with this package? Can’t find any with those wheels/trim? Jeep looks awesome?
Sport, wheels aren’t stock.
Here where I live the Honda dealer (where I film the reviews) they have all types of jeeps already lifted and with wheels.
@@JhonnyTube hey I'm new to this is it true that Jeep sucks on reliability because they break down easier I heard rumors also overpriced
I had a cousin own a 2015 Sahara and he made a trip to Virginia from Kentucky and said that it would overheat and they had to give it breaks, that when he got back took it to the dealer and they told him that it’s not built for really long trips, I was surprised to hear that actually.
And on overpriced? The old model I would agree no doubt, because of the cheap interior material. The new one, probably fair for the price. I made a video about the previous gen Wrangler, check it out you’ll see the HUGE difference!
@@JhonnyTube hmm I feel effy about this breaking down
@@JhonnyTube the things about cars is if they look cool or badass or good they focus on cute but not on most important the engine and stuff
is this lifted or stock? sorry for the noob question lol
I believe it’s stock, just aftermarket wheels and tires.
It’s lifted, you can’t get 35” tires under a stock Jeep, well you can but it would rub when turning with any articulation with the suspension. I assume it is a 2.5”-3.5” lift.
Would 275’s rub on stock wrangler? No fender trimmings what so ever? Thanks
Not sure, don’t remember exactly what size this ones were to be honest but there’s a good possibility they would since this set was a bit wide.
Sweet! Should have waited one more year to get my car because i would have gotten this one😣
Oh yeah, the new is MUCH better!
I just got 1 of these guess it doesn't have remote start
think thats only the 2020 ones
@@stefnotfound i got the push 2 start i will have 2 add remote and led headlights
Getting this one for sure or a Sahara
Both great choices.
What, if any, are the differences between the 2018 & 2019 JL’s?
I have two videos about jeeps. Check them out.
2019 is way more spacious in the back that’s for sure.
Honestly nothing they look identical
which control center is this one?
What's the tire size?
33’s I believe
Does this Jeep have a manual window or is there a button to roll it down
Minute 10:45
Automatic Windows
Thanks!
First comment
Lol
Why does he keep calling it a car? That's annoying ....
My apologies, I’m used to only filming cars.
