The roll bars in those jeeps are no joke. Im a volunteer firefighter in east texas and I responed to a wreck were a newer four door jeep rolled 5 times across a times across the road and end up in the ditch and the body still retained its oem shape.
The occupants were fine nothing life threatening. I know this is starting to sound far fetched but it was also the car the bride and the bridesmaids were going to the weddinh in, with the wedding cake throen every where
I’m usually a stickler for “sell outs”, but I have no idea what people are talking about. Jeep gave him the opportunity to review their car. It is still 100% his script and he says what he wants. More importantly, Doug being paid more means an even cooler or more Doug cars.
No it doesn't. And he wasn't paid, he was put up. This is industry standard and doesn't save bad cars from bad ratings. Car reviewers don't inflate car reviews because they got to sleep in a hotel. Movies bring in critics to view films early, do critics go easy on the films? Sure as shit not. Usually if a company knows their product is crap, they don't go the extra mile to bring in critics.
How is he being biased? I doubt a room and food changed his views hell he even told you they put him up and brought him out. I bet Car & Driver doesn't tell you that or Road&Track etc etc I'm not a huge Doug fan but nothing is wrong here.
“You kinda have to stick your finger up there and pull, it’s a weird operation and almost makes you take your eyes off the road” gotta be the longest ‘what she said’ sentence ever
This is crazy, I'm a cook at the Ritz Carlton, Dove Mountain in Tucson where Doug stayed. I work at the restaurant on the golf course and for about five days my spots where I usually park were occupied by lots and lots of 2018 Jeep Wrangers for this Jeep buyout at the hotel. It was a slight inconvenience but I never thought I could have seen Doug there!!! I've seen all your videos and would like to have met you and shook your hand but who knows, maybe I made him a steak for dinner that night. haha I just hope Doug the type of guy to order his steak medium rare.
You can tickle yourself lol. Just use your middle finger and slowly drag from your kneecap to your waist. It is very important to past your thighs that's where the tickle will come from lol. Also try to put as little force on your finger when dragging it. Oh ye I forgot and make sure that your finger has direct contact to your skin because it won't be as effective if you have on clothes. Hahaha
Brandon Villiers any other suggestions on how to your tickle your self, cause that one didn't work. My doc said it's cause I'm a quadriplegic but idk if I believe him
@@snow-rm3jx lol i forgot a commented this...weird that how I used to tickle myself when I was younger. Try scraping your nails up to your thighs on the inside part (your pelvis). Do it slowly btw :)
@@SuperNazmulHe's referring to the fact that the Jeep comes with the hood latches that can't lock, but they're easily replaced with lockable latches. I changed mine with some lockable hood latches from Amazon.
Corporate or not, he did an excellent job of being himself in the face of approaching a corporate request and also is accurate in describing the new potential and drive of a lot of newly refreshed vehicles and brands. While I don’t usually like anything tinged with a pitch, this came across as very genuine and I can’t help but appreciate his work. Nicely done.
Unbelievable how many "sellout" comments there are in this video, presumably from people who don't understand that EVERY REVIEW of the Jeep Wrangler was filmed the same way -- Jeep flew people out to review the car. The difference is, I disclose this fact and they do not. I think in the future I simply won't disclose it.
I disagree +Doug DeMuro, you've got to disclose just like you did. Your followers appreciate your honesty and the fact that you liked the car is legit. I think the quirks like bolt storage are worth talking about - and you're the only person I'd expect to cover that kind of thing, although I'm sure the corporate baby-sitters are pointing everything out to all the attendees. This video doesn't change my opinion of you, and I trust that if you hadn't have liked the vehicle you'd have said so. I like that you never play up for the camera or manufacture unnecessary drama. I'm most pleased you get invited to this sort of thing now because I've watched you build yourself up. Don't go changing.
If they think you sell out I guess they didn't see your Civic video. I don't care how you get your hands on a vehicle as long as you are honest in your reviews.
I checked my 2010 to see if it had the holes for the bolts and I just never noticed. It doesn't. Not that I'd remove the dozens of bolts to fold my windshield down, but I will say that I don't know where the bolts for my front doors are as I didn't have a good place to put them.
Am I the only one who is just amazed how much work Jeep on their own put so much effort in their car for the offroad drivers? What other brand thinks so much about the modified version of their cars?
Yes it's cold in the morning here in Arizona this time of year 40 to 50°. Lucky if we get to about 70. though it's warmer than normal this year. I'm thinking this was in the morning.
Hey Doug, great job man, what i really like about you is that you take the features of the car on what they are meant to do. I have seen almost all of your videos, I like that while you criticized the Mercedes G-Wagon for exposed hinges, you did not criticize the Jeep for it because they are functional, the doors can be removed. I like the way you review cars, and I always eagerly wait for your videos. Kudos
Simmer down. Why can't a Jeep be different things to different people? It's a beautiful vehicle. I would rather pull into a mall parking lot and see a bunch of Jeeps instead of minivans and Ford Explorers. I've owned both a 1990 and now a 2004. I never go crazy off-road because it is my only mode of transport. If I break it, I don't have a car. Does that mean because someone doesn't have a lift with 30 inch tires they're not worthy or as important as someone who does and should be ashamed? I enjoy seeing other Jeeps on the road and I'm glad others appreciate it, even if it's in a different way or because of a different reason than I do.
Joshua Vila i have a landrover defender 98 300 tdi 2 inch lift slightly aggresive at tires a diy winch bar and winch for pulling all your jeeps and toyota out and a shop built rear diff beast offroad great for towing and good daily
I really think that the Doug score is lacking a 'fun factor' in the weekends category. It is now heavily biased toward ultra fast new sports cars. A fun factor would give cars that are special like the Ferret tank, the Isetta and even the wrangler a higher weekend score, because lets be honest, you would rather take that for a spin in the weekends than a Bolt. It would even give oldtimers a fairer place in the category, I mean: I would much rather drive a Ferrari 348 in the weekends then a BMW M5. Like if you agree so the man himself sees it!
i agree, the scoring system seems a bit off. it seems like everytime he gets done with a trailhawk or a ferrari he rates the normal cars much lower. wtf is a 2 for acceleration? if a car has a 0-60 time of 6 seconds thats pretty damn average... its not that horrid.
@@buddy3007 He's the type of person to hike 10 miles, get into a rolls royce someone loaned to him for a review, take off his shoes, and rub his smelly feet on the thick carpets.
Jeep flew him out... looks like the industry is catching on. Watching this, my heart leaps with excitement at the thought of all the adventures my family and I can go on. Also, Commenting at 10 thumbs and 25 views!
Like most people I've always liked the look of the Jeep Wrangled. It is one of the few vehicles that I haven't driven at some point. Thanks for this review. On my next vehicle purchase I will at least take one out for a test drive. Really appreciate your scoring system too. Gives us all a very good gauge to judge vehicles by. But the Wrangler may not be my first choice but at least now it IS a choice. Thanks again for your reviews.
Im glad about it. Ive been waiting to hear what his take on Jeeps was as I am interested in them, and for some crazy reason I like the way they look. The 2018's dont look as good as last years model to me, but I like the modernizations that theyve included a lot, so theres a trade off. I suppose it doesnt look as girthy or robust, like its missing one of its testicles.
The Doug score broke my heart (not to mention continually calling it a "car," but I digress), but I appreciate the knowledge. Makes me want one even more than I already did...
I like a lot of the quirks in this new series, but I like the functionality of my JK. I have the older 3.8, so it eats up a bit more gas, but working on anything in the engine compartment is a breeze. Plus, when you tear down a JK, it just looks more "jeepy". Is that a thing?
The one advantage you have as a JK owner is that virtually every part in your vehicle can be upgraded via aftermarket to be equal or better than this one
@@infernalchaos1066 The 3.8's a better offroad engine. Torque curve is at a lot lower RPM. Sure the 3.6 makes more power but it only does so if you want to go screaming around like a Civic.. 3.8L with the manual was fine. The 4-speed auto was the big problem in that combo.
Props to the designers on these jeeps. The amount of effort that went into making a vehicle for the consumer that can be customized using factory parts already equipped is outstanding. I think this all new design will ensure that jeep has a solid foot hold in the market for another 30 years. P.S. I was really hoping that the amount of customization that is available from factory would help the " Doug Score ".
I'm thinking he filmed this sometime in the morning and it's, you know, 45 to 55 here in the morning right now. Warms up to 70 or so by noon but mornings are pretty cold at this time of the year.
FewRie yeah fam, I got the color matching hard top. Yeah, there’s a shit load of noise on the road. Nothing compared to the JK though (Had a lot of more noise). The ride is smoother than the previous model. I test drove the JK many times. The JL felt right. However, my model didn’t come with the headliner which helps eliminate noise. I’m thinking about buying that online sometime later for it. It’s the little things that make your ride better. The pros, it’s really fun. I got mine all white and I turn a lot of heads. I get tons of compliments also. Makes me feel like I made the right choice. It’s also roomier than I expected. I pack a lot of gear and there’s enough room for everything. As for the cons, well, besides the noise it’s not that bad of a ride. It’s a good thing you’re looking into that because it’s a huge turn off for a lot of people. Test drive one! And do it more than once. At first it felt off driving at highway speeds because it’s not aerodynamic in the least. Another con is that it’s like a lego! And legos are expensive once you start building. I’ve already added many modifications to my wrangler it’s genuinely badass mate. I got a 2.5” lift to comfortably fit 35s and the ride is nearly like stock still. I’m very happy and I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do in this thing. Fee free to ask anything else. Hopefully this helps. Best of luck!
Thanks bro! The 35s add gotta be my favorite mod to this car, it just gives it much more personality. I hope you enjoy every bit of owning the Wrangler, and always remember, have fun but not too much fun, because safety is always the number one priority! 👍
Eh I've never seen the Jeep grill as special, I mean you see a split kidney grill and you instantly think BMW, you see multiple vertical lines it could be a Hummer or something else
Lol, you could draw a simple outline of the front of a Jeep, and as soon as you see the grill lines between two round lights and flared guards you instantly pick it as a Jeep. It’s so iconic that the Japanese uses the look on the Suzuki Sierra, so did Diahatsu, and Toyota.
79 thump probably true - but I don't see any good reasons for it other than just because it's new. The improvements are incremental at best, and some things got worse.
At least we know Doug reads his comments.... at 28:27 he says, word for word, exactly what I commented in his F250 review Not sure how this car gets a lower Weekend score than a Chevy Bolt or 70s Cadillac. I can think of a million fun things to do with a wrangler on the weekend.
Better acceleration, cooler, more important, more features and more practical. It is all broken down for you in the doug score. I will grant that most of that is subjective but of the two I would much rather have the bolt.
As for the grill comment. I suppose BMW could get away without putting a badge on the front, hell they could just leave out the turn signals as well...
There's also a small "secret " compartment in the lid of the upper center console too! And in the 2 door, the premium system sub takes the place of the under floor rear compartment. In my 2 door Sport (all stock) I can get upwards of 27 28 mpg if I take it easy around 50-60 mph. The mileage drops rapidly beyond that (due to the drag coefficient being based on the SQUARE of the velocity. At 75mph I get around 18-20. And at 85mph I get around 14-16 I love my silver 23 2 door 6sp Sport S!!! I learned how to drive a manual in my uncles TJ and it was love at first sight!! I never owned an auto after that (early 2000s) The windows stay off my Jeep and the top does too!! (The weather is magnificent in the Floridian late winter- spring) Today is Sunday and I am going to give her a bath and detail 😍 I have always had a soft spot for 2 door manual SUV/trucks, and also convertibles, and knew I wanted a wrangler for years. God has been good to me and now I can drive one!
Am i the only one who thinks the people complaining about sponsored videos are cancer? He only gave it a 52 out of 100 and anti sponsorship idiots are acting like he gave it the most bias review in history for pointing out just how much more a cars "quarks and features" improved from its decade old ounterpart.
I mean, he did what he normally does - show us quirks and features, drive the car and give us his thoughts. Sponsored or not, its the same content. Lets not forget he works for Auto Trader.
Jeep flew a whole bunch of press from many publications down and had a whole fleet of Wranglers available for all of them to try each version. This was not special treatment.
I work for Jeep and this thing is bad ass. Ill be honest its too Dodge Nitro for me but give it a couple years then buy it. The issue is Fiat has too much influence on design and increase in price may cripple its appeal to most consumers. Also if something is not broke don’t fix it. (Example) Power window controls..... Otherwise we take building these in Toledo very seriously. Feedback on videos like this go a long way in future designs.
FCA has been fixing what ain’t broke since 2007 unfortunately. I really want to like these new jeeps and in some ways, the JL has satisfied me, but I just know it could be much better than it is. All I can say is at least it’s better than the JK
Don't be a jackass. I'm not talking about stocks and bonds. in·vest·ment an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result. "the time spent in attending a one-day seminar is an investment in our professional futures" synonyms: contribution, surrender, loss, forfeiture, sacrifice When you can get a prepaid phone for $20 that serves the purpose of a phone just fine, $1200 is quite an investment. I see so many dumb asses that buy the newest iPhone, don't put a case on it, crack the screen the first time they drop it, then have have to pay 200-300 to have the screen replaced. All because they were more concerned with having the newest premium looking device than keeping their money safe.
NO ONE CARES no its not, Investment implies there will be a return over time and it can make money, Cars are investments because some hold their resell value, Phones lose their value every year, example, a 2 year old IPhone can be purchased for 50 bucks
Jesus Christ you fuckers are taking shit too literally. Every time some one says investment it doesn't literally mean a monetary investment you expect to make a return on. You invest extra money in having a premium phone, a shitty investment yes but it's an investment nonetheless .You invest extra money in a Lexus over a Toyota because you want a nicer car. You invest extra money in a Gibson over an Epiphone because you want a better guitar. You invest time and money into a pet because you want a companion. You invest time and money into a relationship because you want a life partner. Any of these things can have a good or bad outcome. Expensive phones result in a monetary loss, but you get the "payoff" of having the "best" smart phone experience. Any resource you have (time, money, energy), and then spend expecting a worthwhile outcome is an investment. Hell, you invest energy getting out of bed, in hopes that today will be a good day. Even if I'm a dumb ass and used the wrong word, the point is still the same. He has a naked ass 1200 dollar phone and makes fun of people that want to protect their, to use synonyms from that definition i posted earlier, contribution, surrender, loss, forfeiture, and sacrifice of spending that extra damn money.
You despised the start up animation in the lexus LC500 video and complained about the pointlessness of these ‘movies’. While your enthusiastic and in love with some of the rubbish in this jeep? You can really tell when hes pandering to brand because of a deal. I suspect honda didnt give you one so thats why you trashed them in your type r vid. Biased much doug!
I do think, in retrospect, that you probably sold the LC500 short by a couple of points, having seen some scores since then. Comfort and handling are both (I would think) 7s, not 6s and while styling is subjective, if anything's getting a 9 or better... well, it's utterly gorgeous.
brandon casey in Hawaii, if you drive a Jeep Wrangler two things can be assumed, you are either military or tourist and you want your stuff stolen. Especially soft top Jeeps.
I just watched this again and I've owned my JLUR going on 4 years and 50k+ miles and it's been an amazing experience, I've loved every second driving and owning this vehicle, right now I can sell it for as much as I paid for it. It's not for everyone though, it's rugged and pretty much a off road vehicle that you drive on road.
Hey Doug, here's a question: With the backup camera mounted on the center of the wheel, how will it see through a tire cover? Will the new tire covers be like a donut?
Love the jeep, but why isn't anyone talking about the frame welds cracking? Jeep JL Earlier this month, Fiat Chrysler announced a recall for over 18,000 2018 and 2019 Jeep Wranglers because failing welds were causing a critical suspension mounting bracket to detach from the frame. Now we have the instructions for how Fiat Chrysler plans to fix the bad frames, which the company said could cause some Jeeps to “crash without prior warning.” Between May 7, 2018 and Aug. 21, 2018, Jeep’s Toledo North Assembly Plant used frames with an “off seam [track bar] weld location” to build up to 18,055 new Jeep Wranglers. The result, Jeep says in its NHTSA Safety Recall Report, is that likely around 720 vehicles (4 percent of the recall population) have track bar brackets that could potentially “[separate] from the frame.” This sounds like something you’d never really want to happen to your vehicle for a number of reasons, but Jeep identifies that it could possibly lead to reduced steering response and even a crash. Fiat Chrysler previously told Jalopnik that it planned to inspect all 18,000+ vehicles, but now-thanks to dealer service instructions posted to a Jeep JL owner’s Facebook page-we know how the company will actually fix the roughly 720 cars it expects to find with bad welds. The first step for dealers is to lift the vehicle and check out the build date code on the frame. If that number is greater than or equal to 126 and less than or equal to 156, then the vehicle was built in the May 7, 2018 to Aug. 21, 2018 window, and its owner should be offered a loaner car as the Jeep gets inspected further. Vehicles with frame codes in that range will then have their track bar bracket welds-both the inboard and outboard ones-cleaned. From there, with the steering wheel cranked to the left to help give better access, dealers will paint the vehicle’s three-digit VIN to the outboard frame bracket, and take a picture of both welds like so: Those pictures, along with the frame build date code, the vehicle’s VIN, and the dealership’s information, will be sent to a “Track Bar customer care representative,” who will take a close look at the welds’ positions. If the representative looks at the photos and determined that the welds are in the right spot, then the Jeep is all set, and no repair will take place. But if he or she finds one or both of the welds to be out of place, dealers will arrange to have a “Technical Weld Specialist” come to make the weld repair. But before that can happen, the dealer has to take some stuff apart. To prep the outboard weld to be repaired by the weld specialist, dealers are asked to disconnect the battery before lifting the Jeep, remove the left front wheel, undo the track bar nut and bolt shown above, and then take the track bar off of the poorly-welded bracket on the frame. From there, Fiat Chrysler says its “Technical Weld Specialist will perform the repair on the outboard weld.” There are no further details on how exactly the specialist will conduct the fix, but clearly the job will involve welding that bracket back onto the frame somehow. Fiat Chrysler told me via email simply: “Weld will be made to comply with specs.” Once the weld specialist’s job is done, dealers will bolt the track bar back onto the frame (with a new nut and bolt), throw the wheel back on, lower the Jeep, torque down the track bar nut to spec, and then give the vehicle back to the customer. That is, unless the inboard weld also needs to be fixed. Repairing the inboard weld is significantly more involved than fixing the outboard one. In addition to lifting the Jeep and removing the left front wheel, the air dam has to be taken off, and four steering gear mounting bolts have to be removed (to get the steering gear box away from the bracket weld location) after the track bar has been unbolted from the frame bracket: Each sway bar link’s lower nut and bolt also have to be taken out, likely to get the sway bar out of the way. Then, by grabbing the right front wheel and turning it, the vehicle’s wheels need to be pointed to the rightmost position. This will pull the steering gear away from the frame, and thus away from track bar bracket to give better access to the inboard weld. That’s when the Technical Weld Specialist will perform the inboard weld repair, or possibly replace the entire bracket. With that done, dealers will grab the front right tire, and turn the steering linkages to the leftmost position in order to line the steering gear back up with the mounting holes in the frame. New bolts will then be threaded into the steering gear and torqued down. A new bolt will hold the track bar into the newly-welded (and possibly entirely new) bracket, and new bolts will be used to hook the bottoms of the sway bar links back to the steering knuckles. The wheel will go back on and get torqued to spec, then the vehicle will be lowered, and the sway bar and track bar bolts will be tightened. Once dealers install the air dam, do an alignment, and check the work via a test drive, the Jeep will be all fixed and ready to go back to the customer. Jeep lists how much time dealerships can bill to each procedure in the table below: So if you’ve got a 2018 or 2019 Jeep Wrangler affected by the recall, now you know what type of surgery might be in its future.
Wow, you figure this would not happen with the insane price... Jeeps have been overpriced for decades... they should be cheaper, because there basic, there jeeps
it occurred to me I have, in my "Drag timer" app, 0-60 KPH time... I got 7.4 seconds, though I think that was on a slight incline, so maybe 6.5s on a completely flat surface? And that is only 0-37 MPH
When you sit in the passenger seat, the front of a Jeep is mirrored by the dash vents and the section of dash in between. I like the body colored dash shown in the more recent reviews. Also, the vent clip thing inside the tailgate mirrors the 7 slot grill. I believe Tony Fiat is running the ball with Jeep. I believe he is trying to honestly evolve it, while maintaining utmost respect for the brand heritage. To me, its a genius marketing move. Fiat is doing things with Jeep that Daimler Benz would have never dared to do. And they shall see the benefits imho. FYI I was a Jeep technician when that title meant something.
I actually think this is the first Jeep that would really appeal to most non-Jeep people. I'm not a Jeep person. I have driven a few and did not like them at all but you don't have to be a Jeep person to appreciate what FCA has done here. There is some real thoughtful design here and the little things are pretty cool. I can see myself living with and even loving this in my yard regardless of who paid him to show me.
Scorr Paulson th "Jeep thing" is off roading. The wrangler has always been the best bang for your buck off-road vehicle with the largest aftermarket. Anyone who got a Wrangler and doesn't hit the trails regularly bought the wrong vehicle. It's a off-road vehicle that can be driven on road, and even daily driven if you don't care about all the creature comforts.
The 4 cylinder actually has more torque than the V6 and is a half second faster 0-60. It also has electric assist to smooth out the launch and turbo lag.
Terrab Nadia Damn, thats a really dope jeep. I figured there was no way they would ever make something like that, but the fact that they have created something like that as an actual concept is sick.
Love how the front windshield still folds down and rests on those “hood handles”. Folded since 1941 to be shipped overseas. Great to fold down on the beach. You didn’t cover the drain holes in the passenger and driver foot wells. 😅

Corporate or not, he did an excellent job of being himself in the face of approaching a corporate request and also is accurate in describing the new potential and drive of a lot of newly refreshed vehicles and brands. While I don’t usually like anything tinged with a pitch, this came across as very genuine and I can’t help but appreciate his work. Nicely done.
Unbelievable how many "sellout" comments there are in this video, presumably from people who don't understand that EVERY REVIEW of the Jeep Wrangler was filmed the same way -- Jeep flew people out to review the car. The difference is, I disclose this fact and they do not.
I think in the future I simply won't disclose it.
I disagree +Doug DeMuro, you've got to disclose just like you did.
Your followers appreciate your honesty and the fact that you liked the car is legit. I think the quirks like bolt storage are worth talking about - and you're the only person I'd expect to cover that kind of thing, although I'm sure the corporate baby-sitters are pointing everything out to all the attendees.
This video doesn't change my opinion of you, and I trust that if you hadn't have liked the vehicle you'd have said so. I like that you never play up for the camera or manufacture unnecessary drama.
I'm most pleased you get invited to this sort of thing now because I've watched you build yourself up. Don't go changing.
If they think you sell out I guess they didn't see your Civic video. I don't care how you get your hands on a vehicle as long as you are honest in your reviews.
I checked my 2010 to see if it had the holes for the bolts and I just never noticed. It doesn't.
Not that I'd remove the dozens of bolts to fold my windshield down, but I will say that I don't know where the bolts for my front doors are as I didn't have a good place to put them.
It seems there is a large group of naive people who don't understand what an automotive journalist does.

Hey Doug, great job man, what i really like about you is that you take the features of the car on what they are meant to do. I have seen almost all of your videos, I like that while you criticized the Mercedes G-Wagon for exposed hinges, you did not criticize the Jeep for it because they are functional, the doors can be removed.
I like the way you review cars, and I always eagerly wait for your videos. Kudos
Well done for understanding the difference between a SUV and an overpriced leather lined mom mobile that costs the same as 6 wranglers.

Needs a lift and some bigger tires to clear those mall curbs!
Simmer down. Why can't a Jeep be different things to different people? It's a beautiful vehicle. I would rather pull into a mall parking lot and see a bunch of Jeeps instead of minivans and Ford Explorers. I've owned both a 1990 and now a 2004. I never go crazy off-road because it is my only mode of transport. If I break it, I don't have a car. Does that mean because someone doesn't have a lift with 30 inch tires they're not worthy or as important as someone who does and should be ashamed? I enjoy seeing other Jeeps on the road and I'm glad others appreciate it, even if it's in a different way or because of a different reason than I do.

I really think that the Doug score is lacking a 'fun factor' in the weekends category. It is now heavily biased toward ultra fast new sports cars. A fun factor would give cars that are special like the Ferret tank, the Isetta and even the wrangler a higher weekend score, because lets be honest, you would rather take that for a spin in the weekends than a Bolt. It would even give oldtimers a fairer place in the category, I mean: I would much rather drive a Ferrari 348 in the weekends then a BMW M5. Like if you agree so the man himself sees it!
Yep!
i agree, the scoring system seems a bit off. it seems like everytime he gets done with a trailhawk or a ferrari he rates the normal cars much lower. wtf is a 2 for acceleration? if a car has a 0-60 time of 6 seconds thats pretty damn average... its not that horrid.
Fun is highly subjective, he tries to be as objective as possible.
FireBird- So is styling, cool factor and maybe even value...
Those aren't as subjective, but it's the dougscore after all. He does try. Watch the video he explains what it is.

Like most people I've always liked the look of the Jeep Wrangled. It is one of the few vehicles that I haven't driven at some point. Thanks for this review. On my next vehicle purchase I will at least take one out for a test drive. Really appreciate your scoring system too. Gives us all a very good gauge to judge vehicles by. But the Wrangler may not be my first choice but at least now it IS a choice. Thanks again for your reviews.
Doug is really into Jeeps this week
Leonard I feel like he's being quite biased. Perhaps he was paid off ?
Yay, some car reviewer is reviewing new cars that came out in 2017. He's biased!!!
Im glad about it. Ive been waiting to hear what his take on Jeeps was as I am interested in them, and for some crazy reason I like the way they look. The 2018's dont look as good as last years model to me, but I like the modernizations that theyve included a lot, so theres a trade off. I suppose it doesnt look as girthy or robust, like its missing one of its testicles.

Here's Why the 2018 Doug DeMuro is Much Better Than the Old One
Daddy Dougie what lol
Being a jk owner I’m a little butthurt at some of his comments but at the same time really tempted to trade mine in
I like a lot of the quirks in this new series, but I like the functionality of my JK. I have the older 3.8, so it eats up a bit more gas, but working on anything in the engine compartment is a breeze. Plus, when you tear down a JK, it just looks more "jeepy". Is that a thing?
The one advantage you have as a JK owner is that virtually every part in your vehicle can be upgraded via aftermarket to be equal or better than this one
Bitronic same with most jeeps..
@@birddude3123 Ok?
@@infernalchaos1066 The 3.8's a better offroad engine. Torque curve is at a lot lower RPM. Sure the 3.6 makes more power but it only does so if you want to go screaming around like a Civic..
3.8L with the manual was fine. The 4-speed auto was the big problem in that combo.
Props to the designers on these jeeps. The amount of effort that went into making a vehicle for the consumer that can be customized using factory parts already equipped is outstanding. I think this all new design will ensure that jeep has a solid foot hold in the market for another 30 years.
P.S. I was really hoping that the amount of customization that is available from factory would help the " Doug Score ".
Ken takhomasak Well he is comparing the wrangler to exotic sports cars. So it did do good considering its a 35k car vs 100k plus.
Very true considering lol
Long sleeve shirt and jeans. That's different
WTF ?! Wheres shorts ?
Not really if you watch his old vids
I'm thinking he filmed this sometime in the morning and it's, you know, 45 to 55 here in the morning right now. Warms up to 70 or so by noon but mornings are pretty cold at this time of the year.
Still wearing 2 shirts though
Yeah and in AZ lol
Dude can't believe how smart the solution of the backup camera is compared to the G65. LOL
JUST bought my new JL. It’s absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to make memories in this thing.
Hey man, would you mind telling me the pros and cons so far? did you get a hardtop? And how’s the cabin noise? Thanks.
FewRie yeah fam, I got the color matching hard top. Yeah, there’s a shit load of noise on the road. Nothing compared to the JK though (Had a lot of more noise). The ride is smoother than the previous model. I test drove the JK many times. The JL felt right. However, my model didn’t come with the headliner which helps eliminate noise. I’m thinking about buying that online sometime later for it. It’s the little things that make your ride better.
The pros, it’s really fun. I got mine all white and I turn a lot of heads. I get tons of compliments also. Makes me feel like I made the right choice. It’s also roomier than I expected. I pack a lot of gear and there’s enough room for everything.
As for the cons, well, besides the noise it’s not that bad of a ride. It’s a good thing you’re looking into that because it’s a huge turn off for a lot of people. Test drive one! And do it more than once. At first it felt off driving at highway speeds because it’s not aerodynamic in the least. Another con is that it’s like a lego! And legos are expensive once you start building. I’ve already added many modifications to my wrangler it’s genuinely badass mate. I got a 2.5” lift to comfortably fit 35s and the ride is nearly like stock still. I’m very happy and I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do in this thing. Fee free to ask anything else. Hopefully this helps. Best of luck!
Thanks bro! The 35s add gotta be my favorite mod to this car, it just gives it much more personality. I hope you enjoy every bit of owning the Wrangler, and always remember, have fun but not too much fun, because safety is always the number one priority! 👍

“The Grill Is our Logo” #JeepLife
AP Productions It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand
It's actually Ford motor companies logo. They designed the front end.
Eh I've never seen the Jeep grill as special, I mean you see a split kidney grill and you instantly think BMW, you see multiple vertical lines it could be a Hummer or something else
Lol, you could draw a simple outline of the front of a Jeep, and as soon as you see the grill lines between two round lights and flared guards you instantly pick it as a Jeep. It’s so iconic that the Japanese uses the look on the Suzuki Sierra, so did Diahatsu, and Toyota.

79 thump probably true - but I don't see any good reasons for it other than just because it's new. The improvements are incremental at best, and some things got worse.
I disagree JH’s have a big price bump this will make JK cheaper, my TJ value has zoomed in value
Interesting!
At least we know Doug reads his comments.... at 28:27 he says, word for word, exactly what I commented in his F250 review
Not sure how this car gets a lower Weekend score than a Chevy Bolt or 70s Cadillac. I can think of a million fun things to do with a wrangler on the weekend.
Better acceleration, cooler, more important, more features and more practical. It is all broken down for you in the doug score. I will grant that most of that is subjective but of the two I would much rather have the bolt.
TheVladooo hehe
Its primarily based on the performance rather than other fun things to use it for
The Doug score has no off road category.

There's also a small "secret " compartment in the lid of the upper center console too! And in the 2 door, the premium system sub takes the place of the under floor rear compartment.
In my 2 door Sport (all stock) I can get upwards of 27 28 mpg if I take it easy around 50-60 mph. The mileage drops rapidly beyond that (due to the drag coefficient being based on the SQUARE of the velocity. At 75mph I get around 18-20. And at 85mph I get around 14-16
I love my silver 23 2 door 6sp Sport S!!!
I learned how to drive a manual in my uncles TJ and it was love at first sight!! I never owned an auto after that (early 2000s)

Today is Sunday and I am going to give her a bath and detail 😍
I have always had a soft spot for 2 door manual SUV/trucks, and also convertibles, and knew I wanted a wrangler for years.

Although I like the flow and production quality of this video, I wish he had at least spent a minute on the suspension and axles.

You know Doug got hooked up when he has 3 of the same vehicle for review purposes.
Jeep flew a whole bunch of press from many publications down and had a whole fleet of Wranglers available for all of them to try each version. This was not special treatment.
Not necessarily special treatment, but he had access to them.

I work for Jeep and this thing is bad ass. Ill be honest its too Dodge Nitro for me but give it a couple years then buy it. The issue is Fiat has too much influence on design and increase in price may cripple its appeal to most consumers. Also if something is not broke don’t fix it. (Example) Power window controls.....
Otherwise we take building these in Toledo very seriously. Feedback on videos like this go a long way in future designs.
FCA has been fixing what ain’t broke since 2007 unfortunately. I really want to like these new jeeps and in some ways, the JL has satisfied me, but I just know it could be much better than it is. All I can say is at least it’s better than the JK
Worked at jeep years ago, I can only assume fiat made the electronics even worse.
I love my 2016 JKU ! The 2018 is just another SUV, might as well buy a jeep wagon!
Wait so the JL is “just another SUV” but the JK isn’t? 😂
If the "regular SUV" (JL) satisfies you, then yeah I see why a JK is not the Jeep for you.

in·vest·ment
an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.
"the time spent in attending a one-day seminar is an investment in our professional futures"
synonyms: contribution, surrender, loss, forfeiture, sacrifice
When you can get a prepaid phone for $20 that serves the purpose of a phone just fine, $1200 is quite an investment. I see so many dumb asses that buy the newest iPhone, don't put a case on it, crack the screen the first time they drop it, then have have to pay 200-300 to have the screen replaced. All because they were more concerned with having the newest premium looking device than keeping their money safe.
NO ONE CARES no its not, Investment implies there will be a return over time and it can make money, Cars are investments because some hold their resell value, Phones lose their value every year, example, a 2 year old IPhone can be purchased for 50 bucks
Jesus Christ you fuckers are taking shit too literally. Every time some one says investment it doesn't literally mean a monetary investment you expect to make a return on. You invest extra money in having a premium phone, a shitty investment yes but it's an investment nonetheless .You invest extra money in a Lexus over a Toyota because you want a nicer car. You invest extra money in a Gibson over an Epiphone because you want a better guitar. You invest time and money into a pet because you want a companion. You invest time and money into a relationship because you want a life partner. Any of these things can have a good or bad outcome. Expensive phones result in a monetary loss, but you get the "payoff" of having the "best" smart phone experience. Any resource you have (time, money, energy), and then spend expecting a worthwhile outcome is an investment. Hell, you invest energy getting out of bed, in hopes that today will be a good day.
Even if I'm a dumb ass and used the wrong word, the point is still the same. He has a naked ass 1200 dollar phone and makes fun of people that want to protect their, to use synonyms from that definition i posted earlier, contribution, surrender, loss, forfeiture, and sacrifice of spending that extra damn money.

While your enthusiastic and in love with some of the rubbish in this jeep? You can really tell when hes pandering to brand because of a deal. I suspect honda didnt give you one so thats why you trashed them in your type r vid. Biased much doug!
Well, the thing is, the new Wrangler really is a good car.
manoman0 no
This movie is pointless too! But at least it's cool!
I do think, in retrospect, that you probably sold the LC500 short by a couple of points, having seen some scores since then. Comfort and handling are both (I would think) 7s, not 6s and while styling is subjective, if anything's getting a 9 or better... well, it's utterly gorgeous.

Doug sounds like a car salesman now.
I just watched this again and I've owned my JLUR going on 4 years and 50k+ miles and it's been an amazing experience, I've loved every second driving and owning this vehicle, right now I can sell it for as much as I paid for it. It's not for everyone though, it's rugged and pretty much a off road vehicle that you drive on road.
Hey Doug, here's a question: With the backup camera mounted on the center of the wheel, how will it see through a tire cover? Will the new tire covers be like a donut?
The Gadget Guru good point
If so, the aftermarket tire manufacturers will need to create all new inventory.

I don’t know man this is my first video that I watch from Doug and I love him he’s great
In the Wrangler, do you get the distracting reflections on the side windows like as he (Doug) complained in his review of that biturbo V12 G-wagon?
I don't in my JK, can't imagine this would be different.
KJ nope.
But unlike the G-wagon this Jeep is cheaper.
I was thinking about this too

Love the jeep, but why isn't anyone talking about the frame welds cracking?
Jeep JL
Earlier this month, Fiat Chrysler announced a recall for over 18,000 2018 and 2019 Jeep Wranglers because failing welds were causing a critical suspension mounting bracket to detach from the frame. Now we have the instructions for how Fiat Chrysler plans to fix the bad frames, which the company said could cause some Jeeps to “crash without prior warning.”
Between May 7, 2018 and Aug. 21, 2018, Jeep’s Toledo North Assembly Plant used frames with an “off seam [track bar] weld location” to build up to 18,055 new Jeep Wranglers. The result, Jeep says in its NHTSA Safety Recall Report, is that likely around 720 vehicles (4 percent of the recall population) have track bar brackets that could potentially “[separate] from the frame.” This sounds like something you’d never really want to happen to your vehicle for a number of reasons, but Jeep identifies that it could possibly lead to reduced steering response and even a crash.
Fiat Chrysler previously told Jalopnik that it planned to inspect all 18,000+ vehicles, but now-thanks to dealer service instructions posted to a Jeep JL owner’s Facebook page-we know how the company will actually fix the roughly 720 cars it expects to find with bad welds.
The first step for dealers is to lift the vehicle and check out the build date code on the frame. If that number is greater than or equal to 126 and less than or equal to 156, then the vehicle was built in the May 7, 2018 to Aug. 21, 2018 window, and its owner should be offered a loaner car as the Jeep gets inspected further.
Vehicles with frame codes in that range will then have their track bar bracket welds-both the inboard and outboard ones-cleaned. From there, with the steering wheel cranked to the left to help give better access, dealers will paint the vehicle’s three-digit VIN to the outboard frame bracket, and take a picture of both welds like so:
Those pictures, along with the frame build date code, the vehicle’s VIN, and the dealership’s information, will be sent to a “Track Bar customer care representative,” who will take a close look at the welds’ positions.
If the representative looks at the photos and determined that the welds are in the right spot, then the Jeep is all set, and no repair will take place. But if he or she finds one or both of the welds to be out of place, dealers will arrange to have a “Technical Weld Specialist” come to make the weld repair. But before that can happen, the dealer has to take some stuff apart.
To prep the outboard weld to be repaired by the weld specialist, dealers are asked to disconnect the battery before lifting the Jeep, remove the left front wheel, undo the track bar nut and bolt shown above, and then take the track bar off of the poorly-welded bracket on the frame.
From there, Fiat Chrysler says its “Technical Weld Specialist will perform the repair on the outboard weld.” There are no further details on how exactly the specialist will conduct the fix, but clearly the job will involve welding that bracket back onto the frame somehow. Fiat Chrysler told me via email simply: “Weld will be made to comply with specs.”
Once the weld specialist’s job is done, dealers will bolt the track bar back onto the frame (with a new nut and bolt), throw the wheel back on, lower the Jeep, torque down the track bar nut to spec, and then give the vehicle back to the customer. That is, unless the inboard weld also needs to be fixed.
Repairing the inboard weld is significantly more involved than fixing the outboard one. In addition to lifting the Jeep and removing the left front wheel, the air dam has to be taken off, and four steering gear mounting bolts have to be removed (to get the steering gear box away from the bracket weld location) after the track bar has been unbolted from the frame bracket:
Each sway bar link’s lower nut and bolt also have to be taken out, likely to get the sway bar out of the way. Then, by grabbing the right front wheel and turning it, the vehicle’s wheels need to be pointed to the rightmost position. This will pull the steering gear away from the frame, and thus away from track bar bracket to give better access to the inboard weld.
That’s when the Technical Weld Specialist will perform the inboard weld repair, or possibly replace the entire bracket.
With that done, dealers will grab the front right tire, and turn the steering linkages to the leftmost position in order to line the steering gear back up with the mounting holes in the frame. New bolts will then be threaded into the steering gear and torqued down.
A new bolt will hold the track bar into the newly-welded (and possibly entirely new) bracket, and new bolts will be used to hook the bottoms of the sway bar links back to the steering knuckles. The wheel will go back on and get torqued to spec, then the vehicle will be lowered, and the sway bar and track bar bolts will be tightened.
Once dealers install the air dam, do an alignment, and check the work via a test drive, the Jeep will be all fixed and ready to go back to the customer.

So if you’ve got a 2018 or 2019 Jeep Wrangler affected by the recall, now you know what type of surgery might be in its future.
He didn't mention the 1 star safety rating either. What a surprise.
Wow, you figure this would not happen with the insane price... Jeeps have been overpriced for decades... they should be cheaper, because there basic, there jeeps
The best Jeep yet*
-paid to come review it and put up in a hotel.
Who is gonna read all of this shit???! Lolx....it's just too much 😂❤
Well all those issues is just Chrysler at it's finest.
1 or 2 for accelerating from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. Wow Doug must be driving rockets.
I was a bit surprised by that... maybe 6s was a mistake. My 2010 JKU is probably 9-10s
Mathieu Clement There's no way any Jeep does 0-60 in 6 seconds
0-60 on my YJ: Yes.
ngamer007 Don't know if I believe that. The 2017 Civic Type R barely breaks 6 seconds flat.
it occurred to me I have, in my "Drag timer" app, 0-60 KPH time... I got 7.4 seconds, though I think that was on a slight incline, so maybe 6.5s on a completely flat surface?
And that is only 0-37 MPH
When you sit in the passenger seat, the front of a Jeep is mirrored by the dash vents and the section of dash in between. I like the body colored dash shown in the more recent reviews. Also, the vent clip thing inside the tailgate mirrors the 7 slot grill.
I believe Tony Fiat is running the ball with Jeep. I believe he is trying to honestly evolve it, while maintaining utmost respect for the brand heritage. To me, its a genius marketing move. Fiat is doing things with Jeep that Daimler Benz would have never dared to do. And they shall see the benefits imho.
FYI I was a Jeep technician when that title meant something.
I think Fiat is the best thing to happen to Mopar in a long time. Cars are looking better, features and quality is improving, and they are selling.
I actually think this is the first Jeep that would really appeal to most non-Jeep people. I'm not a Jeep person. I have driven a few and did not like them at all but you don't have to be a Jeep person to appreciate what FCA has done here. There is some real thoughtful design here and the little things are pretty cool. I can see myself living with and even loving this in my yard regardless of who paid him to show me.
Scott F. Stfu Scott dam join the hate like the rest of us
This looks like a Patriot with some flared fenders. The blind spot thing confirms it.
This isn’t a base model tho. Base Jeeps are still pretty gutted thankfully
"I actually think this is the first Jeep that would really appeal to most non-Jeep people."
The Jeep Wagoneer was too, to some extent.
Scorr Paulson th "Jeep thing" is off roading. The wrangler has always been the best bang for your buck off-road vehicle with the largest aftermarket. Anyone who got a Wrangler and doesn't hit the trails regularly bought the wrong vehicle. It's a off-road vehicle that can be driven on road, and even daily driven if you don't care about all the creature comforts.
The 4 cylinder actually has more torque than the V6 and is a half second faster 0-60. It also has electric assist to smooth out the launch and turbo lag.
Doug the type of a guy to get roasted from fans
iAmmarXGames do you think doug looks like marshall eriksen from the show how i met your mother
Please do review on a VW Touareg V10 ( I know phaeton review is coming soon)
v10 TDI or maybe the audi q7 v12 TDI
No problem, find him one that runs.
yes true, most of them are in bad conditions...
Skylar Garrett exactly they are really bad cars
Saw one of these in Ann Arbor recently, had no idea it existed. Thing better tow 20,000 lbs with a V10 diesel! (when running). bit.ly/2zgKTrq
Jeep, please create a wrangler trackhawk. It would be the most ridiculous thing ever, but in kind of a good way i suppose. Im sure doug would buy it.
You know, that would be awesome.
Doubt the chasis can take that engine. I mean wrangler is still using that mediocore 4 speed isnt it?
Terrab Nadia Damn, thats a really dope jeep. I figured there was no way they would ever make something like that, but the fact that they have created something like that as an actual concept is sick.
David Cloud they currently use a 5 speed, but the new Wranglers will have the ZF 8 speed.
Love how the front windshield still folds down and rests on those “hood handles”. Folded since 1941 to be shipped overseas. Great to fold down on the beach.
You didn’t cover the drain holes in the passenger and driver foot wells. 😅
3:20 “You can put the top up using only one hand as I’ve demonstrated here”
Resumes to put the top up with 2 hands
Doug makes the best videos to watch while shitting
😂😂 so true
I thought I has the only one hahaha
Currently shitting at work. I always wait till I get to work to do so. I’m getting paid to shit.
Every morning. LoL
Hahaha you right
“I like how they look like Oreos and you can twirl them over and over. For those of you who are more mature than me, and aren’t as easily amused”
😂😂😂 I died
Doug is the best car reviewer- hands down. Very in depth and informative.
I I I I , FTW
