This is what I keep saying about the Gladiator, two doors and less wheel base would make it so much better! I loved my two door Comanche, perfect sized truck.
Sadly 2 door Jeeps just don't sell. You are in a very small minority of people that want a 2dr Jeep or truck. I would love an extended cab Gladiator so I have somewhere to put my dogs or storage, but I am in the minority. I think they could have made the Gladiator shorter if they wanted to, but they were going for an actual towing number and to get that it has to be designed that way.
I put the $51,240 USD he specced out into my conversion app and it spit out $67,385 CAD. I tried google currency converter to see if I would get a more up to date rate and got $72,773 CAD. It’s quite the pricey little Jeep, but I’m surprised we seem to actually be getting a bit of a deal up north. 🤷♂️
the rubicon 2dr starts at around 78k USD (71.6k EUR) here in Austria....the JL 2dr sport starts at 71k USD (65k EUR)....so I think I'll never own one :D have to buy the jimny instead :D
I have this exact Jeep with a manual transmission (2019 though) and I absolutely love it. There's not enough great content like this on the 2 doors, please never stop lol!
When I decided to buy a JK in 2017, I bought a 2 door soft top and have not regretted the decision. Background: At 70+ I was driving off road before I was old enough to drive. There’s not much I haven’t driven in the dirt, but when I bought a K5 I quickly learned to appreciate a short wheelbase. After the K5 I used standard cab, short bed pickups, until I bought the JK. I do understand the need a large number of people have for multi-use 4 door vehicles, but if you are just looking for comfort - get a Cadillac.
As someone who owned three two door wranglers in a row (a TJ and two JKs), I can’t get over how the more severe windshield rake makes the two door look odd on the JL. Not as much an issue in the four door or the Gladiator.
This is a proper Wrangler. IF I were to get into a Jeep, this is what I would go for. 2 Door. Short wheel base and the 4WD system is what made it epic back in the day. Good stuff.
The manual has been ruined by FCA Low torque engine +lightweight flywheel + light petal feel + rev hang = poor off road performance . not to mention the new recall , that probably wont fix the main issue .
That looked like fun! Jeeps have so much appeal for the fun factor, but the prices now, damn. I know you can't risk too much test driving a new Jeep, but I could drive most of that in a Sportage (except maybe the hill climb). When I have crazier places to be, I hop on my ATV because why risk damaging a truck or Jeep? But I get it, that looked like a good joy ride.
I have a 19' JLU Rubicon and it doesn't come cheap down here in the states either, plus your spot on about how it still wanders on the highway. Even with beefed-up steering components from Steer-smarts doesn't fix it. I added the HD steering bracket, HD track bar, HD drag link with Griffin attenuator and the HD Tie Rod. Still wonders like it did stock. I think the only fix is putting in a Hydro assist. but that is the life of Jeeps keep on putting on. LOL. Great job Steven keep up the great work man.
J Smith, if you want a limousine driving experience, buy a Cadillac! IT'S A 4X4 JEEP, IT'S MADE FOR OFF ROAD ABILITY. NOT A CADILLAC DRIVING EXPERIENCE, DUH !!!
Using km/h in the dashboard...good. 😁👍 A front camera like the in the gladiator could be cool to have. My JK in a dirt road that has a lot of corrugation or small hoops it feels like it is pulling apart 😆
Good video. It would have been cool for you to go into that incline hill from the bottom at an angle with the sway bar connected and unlocked to see what the difference in flex of the short wheelbase was.
Yup they are. My two door rubicon is average in everything it does except for playing in the elements where it excels, especially in the mud. Edit: actually have the window sticker right here. We paid $41705. Canadian. 2014 two door rubicon
Two doors look sexier. I have a Jeep renegade trailhawk and I can’t believe this Jeep is shorter lol. I wish the renegade was made more rugged like a wrangler on the inside. I have the mysky panels but I wish the roof was removable and the inside waterproof. Easy to clean etc. I would get the bed tred for the wrangler for easy clean up no carpet at all!
Fantastic. About some someone used all the other gears in Low Range instead of just 1st. Most reviews completely forget there are other gears and only ever use 1st in low range and it’s so annoying. Great.
I became victim to the 2012 JK Computer malfunction debacle. I paid $43,300 U.S. out the door for my MW3 2 door fully loaded. It was my LOVE for LIFE! It was to be my LAST until the day I died. Two weeks after my extended warranty, Electrical anomalies started happening causing my stress level to go through the roof. 2018, I sold it back to the dealer. I lost over $28,000 on a beautiful JK having only 28,000 miles on it. Point is, Jeep discontinued the brainchild of my jeep, the computer. No longer produced. No factory certified. Only rebuilt that might of taken 6 months to obtain. $4000. No warranty. As a lone wolf explorer, the techs warned me it could suddenly leave me stranded. Dead, as in dead. No power, nothing. I divorced myself from the brand. I’m still so F--king saddened by it all. Jeep let me down. (Whats say’n in 5 to 6 years time), Jeep stops making certified computers again “Program Control Modules.” Leaving the customer with only a rebuilt one some 11 year old soldiered together then declaring it good enough to ship to the United States to be installed in my $65,000 JL 2 door. I am wondering as a concerned consumer, if all future vehicles well be throw away products, just as so many in our lives today. There are some automotive journalist whom see this coming!
These prices leave the door WIDE open for competition to enter the 2 door 4X4 market. Ford is answering the call with a Bronco 2 door, will Toyota be next?
I dont think we'll see anything more capable for less, no matter who else brings offerings to the table. Wrangler starts at well under $30k for a Sport 4x4. ~$45k for this (USD) seems about right considering the additions. Bronco will likely be very similar, if not a touch more expensive for a base model IMO (we'll see where it tops out, and if a Raptor variant will follow).
Chevy should have made a Wrangler Unlimited / Bronco fighter, not a purse carrying "Blazer." Can you imagine what a Silverado Trailboss without a truck bed would be like?
@@RarestArcanine They still make the FJ for other markets. I think the 2 door Land Cruiser Prado, that comes from the same factory, has more classic looks and appeal.
Such EXPERT reviews! But dude, seeing and hearing you have THAT much fun makes it so much better lol! Do not change your style :D And yeah, they are expensive as hell. Bought a dealer project modded JLUR last year. 77k. If I had a family and a regular paying job instead of the great one I do, I could simply not have afforded this. I call my JLUR the "best/worst decision I have made yet". Terrible financial decision. But it is SO much fun.
The options really sky rocket the wrangler Rubicon. 65k, that's crazy, but so is a 64k trd pro 4runner. Although besides hardcore off road, I'd take the 4runner all day every day
2 Door FTW all day fun . 14jk 3.6 sport . Carbon built Rock jock 44 Detroit locker . D44 torson lsd carbon chromoly shafts 4:88 gears. 34.4 mickey thompson mtz . less than rubi & built better .
... Just Found This : “Wes Schwengels on August 22, 2018 The JK and JL are not acronyms. Instead, JK denotes the third generation of Jeep Wranglers. The new, fourth generation of Wranglers is designated as JL.” I’m Just Not Sure If It Really Doesn’t Stand For No Acronym Because Of All The Acronyms JEEP Has Used Already Like: CJ, YJ, TJ ...
Prices are dictated by the market, people need to stop buying the expensive Jeeps and the prices will come down. The problem is that Jeep fans don’t care, they will take 84 month loans and go in major debt just to own one of these. Hopefully, the Bronco will undercut the Wrangler in price but I’m not holding my breathe.
If you buy a Tacoma TRD off road you sacrifice a small amount of off road capability but increase practicality by huge amounts. Even the 4Runner is a way better choice and then there is reliability...Toyota seems to win that battle year after year. The storage in the JEEP is nearly non existent.
Mike Foehr Nah the TRD off road can go anywhere that a stock Wrangler would, the cool factor of the Jeep is difficult to match but I went with the TRD off road because of those 2 things you mentioned, practicality and reliability, also the Tacoma is the coolest truck out there in my opinion, besides the Cybertruck
I agree, it is the best" new " off road vehicle . However the 2003 -04 Rubicons are still the best off road! and I do own both. You are right tho, the JL 's are superior" on" road. And i do like your reviews.

Would Be Nice To See What Is Going On At The Sway Bar When The Swith/Button is Pressed ! Thank You Much ! Best Regards ! 👍🏻🦠STAY HOME🦠
Danny Cooke only if you insist on having front&rear locker, with sway bar disconnects, plus throw in the tires and wheels. If you were to buy a Wrangler S then add all those enhancements either yourself you would spend even more, have no warranty, basic interior trim and materials, with a small radio touch screen. If you want to play you have to pay!

TFL is lucky to have this guy. Knowledgeable, fun and great at conversing with the audience.
I like it. The blue and the hardtop is a combination I would pick.
When I heard the price of 65k I jumped much higher than the little Jeep over the rough terrain :)
me too until i realized it was cnd and not usd. However then i looked up conversion and thats still high
Dude, that is in Canada. It's 48K where I am at.

I really want to see a review of the absolute cheapest Wrangler you can get, 2 dr sport with no options, just to see how it compares.
Your happiness is infectious, my friend! What a great way to kick start a quarantine Sunday!
I’d like to see more on manual transmissions!
I’ve test drive a manual JL. it’s so electronic it’s no longer fun. Ima stick to my 5spd TJ
The manual has been ruined by FCA Low torque engine +lightweight flywheel + light petal feel + rev hang = poor off road performance . not to mention the new recall , that probably wont fix the main issue .
rod good agreed. It feels like the clutch is by wire rather than by hydraulics
The 8 speed auto is great though.
Joe Still an overstatement. ZF transmission’s are not well known for their reliability

I think the 2 doors are cooler. Classic jeep
Thanks for all the great content. It's nice not viewing all the doom and gloom on the current news.
Yes that is true 2 doors have more capabilities less weight more compact easy to handle on a small trail
$65K?! who in their right mind would pay that for a 2dr jeep?
That’s crazy expensive for what is supposed to be a cheap vehicle.
The_J_is_Silent the top end prices for jeeps are absolutely absurd!
I believe that’s Canadian which is 45k in the US, but still a lot.
CDN not USD
Everything is more expensive in Canada. In st Louis missouri I can get a 2dr Rubicon for around 40k
