Mic mup - So, basically.. spending big money on a vehicle that has proven to be unreliable.. and most likely won’t last you over 150K miles.. is a “Jeep thing?” No, that’s a foolish thing. Anyone who sees the red flags and has been made aware of all the issues.. and still dives in willingly and wholeheartedly is just plain stupid. 🤷🏻♂️
@@davecroucher6063 to each their own. My Wrangler is the best car I've ever owned. I look forward to every time I drive it. If you can't afford it like you say I can understand why you wouldn't want one 👍
Out of all the three you’ve owned, did you have any mechanical issues? I really wanted a jeep for the longest time, the only thing holding me back is peoples feedback about reliability.
Nothing - Let me help you decide. I’ll base my answer on the comment left by the original post. If you’re a man, I would appeal to your logic here. Think about it.. the guy (and several other Jeep owners say the same) owned multiple Jeeps. He says, “I’ve owned 3 plus two CJs.” Me? I’ve owned ONE Tacoma in 15 years. Do you really need help deciding if Jeep is the right vehicle?
Nothing I'm super late but if you haven't decided you should definitely get a jeep. 90% of people who say jeeps are unreliable or jeeps are horrible on road haven't owned one. There's a reason the resale is so high on jeeps. My 2010 Jk has 145k miles and I haven't had a single issue. The only thing i'd recommend is getting one newer than mine because the 2010's engine is underpowered.
@Gice Rum Ah yes because a fully loaded jeep with endless modifications that could crush any trail is too expensive being at most 3/4 of the price of a STOCK land cruiser. but by all means keep getting stuck out on pebbles while all the jeeps pass you on the boulders
I love Wranglers, especially the JLs. But I'm pushing 70 and these days most of my driving is on pavement. So I chose the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. With the Hemi, of course!
I’m 76 and just replaced my 1997 Jeep TJ, that I’d had upgraded and customized, with a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Freedom. I’ve changed all the lights on it to L.E.D.’s with Halo headlights, fog lights, and turn signals. Also added a brake ring. The Jeeps in showroom condition inside and out so that’s all I’m going to change on it. Now I’m just and old man with a very cool Jeep. 👍
The Pentastar in the 2012 and up JK is rated at 285 horses, and a couple of easy tweaks can bump that up to at least 300. My '13 JK 6MT 2 dr with 3.73 rear scoots right along. I have zero complaints about power or acceleration, or anything else. It's one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned.
I've owned quiet a few wranglers and the suspensions were pretty forgiving. Never really have I had a rough ride. As for sound... don't get true off road tires. Get on/off road tires with medium aggression. Otherwise... enjoy it for what it is. A off road vehicle. If you want a blend between comfort and off road, get the trailhawk Grand Cherokee.
im a single guy and at most I have 1 passenger with me. I have the 2dr so I took out the back seats and ive never had more trunk space in a vehicle due to the height. Also yes the trunk does lock lol
I traded my Jeep in. It was loud and uncomfortable for long trips but it was so cool. Where I live floods and my new car can’t leave my neighborhood sometimes and that’s when I regret trading my Jeep in.
Are you saying Jeeps cannot be use daily? Because that’s what I’m getting my mom doesn’t use her car lol so I use her car she like to drive my dad truck 🤣🤣
I dont know about the newer jeeps, but my 4.0L yj with the ax15 transmission accelerates pretty quick. Also, the doors lock. The steering is quick and smooth. Its actually pretty comfortable on road trips(stock seats). Its pretty compact, and handles pretty well in urban environments. The heater makes up for the lack of insulation. It handles snow better than alot of other vehicles, and the only time i have been stranded, was when the alternator crapped out. Also, its pretty safe, because it takes no damage in fender benders, and you understand that a high speed crash WILL hurt, so you use just a little extra caution when driving.
How fuel efficient are they? I've heard they're not very good with gas mileage. My father had a 6-speed stick shift one. Drove it once. Have to be honest. It was a lot of fun! Is it worth it? I wouldn't be going off road very much.

What stuck out to me about the second half of the video (I sorta fast-forwarded through the first half) was that they are tough, durable, manly and have high resale value. I will take your advice and buy a Wrangler tomorrow :)
Honest comment! I love LIME green, lifted Rubicons but LOVE home ownership and NO buyers remorse with my Rogue. NO it's never seen dirt but that makes more sense than paying double and being afraid to chip the paint on an ARMORALED to death $70K trophy truck.
Rolling on 37's on a JLUR and I get 18mpg while grabbing my groceries. 💪 only complaint I really have is my broken windshield they seem to attract rocks?? Lol. Jeep life isnt for everyone
My mother and I took a trip in my Jeep JL 2 door. When we stopped for gas, I let my 74 year old mother drive. She loved it so much that she wouldn’t let me drive the rest of the trip. She drives a Ford Expedition, but loves to drive my Jeep.
I keep an old Wrangler in my garage and drive it in the summer with no top, no doors, if it rains I don't drive. Kinda like summer motorcycling but a little safer🙂
I still drive daily a 2000 2 door soft top TJ SPORT with only 189k on the original 4.0L. I live in Wyoming and it gets me through the howling winters out here with -30F windchills.
There are probably so many more cons to a jeep then pros. loud, windshield cracks, windshield magnet for bugs, slow, loud, leaks, theft, loud, plastic bumpers, wind noise, etc..... but its the greatest vehicle ever made --- how many vehicles can you truly customize so easily make 100% unique. I joke: I waited way to long to get a jeep. The unlimiteds are a very refined with a few modern day luxuries, but I love it.
I own a 2012 2 door Rubicon and now also a 2019 4 door Rubicon. They are incredibly FUN to drive and I've gone places where just about no other vehicle can take me. I don't think I'll ever be without a Wrangler ever again. The one thing that I would not agree with in this video is that they are reasonably priced. They are not reasonably priced at all. The only reason I have two is because I have a lot of experience dealing with car dealers and I only buy at MY price which is always far below MSRP. If I can't get my price, I don't buy until I do and that always happens at some point. Keep Jeepin' people!
Anthony Mellado How much did you get your rubicon compared to msrp? I’m trying to buy a sport or Sahara at msrp 42k dealer price 40k and they would barely knock off 2k but hoping to get a deal soon
By the way, the closer you get to the end of 2019 the better discounts you will get. A good idea is to make a list of all the features you absolutely must have and then look in auto trader for one that fits your list. Don't pay for anything else you don't want. Make an offer and stick to it.
Another negative of the Jeep: Lousy towing capacity, can haul only 3,500 your regular v6, the hybrid should hauled more and don’t get me started with the v8 wrangler with a hemi engine. When you upgrade to either hybrid or v8, it’s still pathetic if you want to haul things like a bigger trailer with only 3,500 pounds for what you spend on it. The gladiator is just a wrangler pickup and that thing can haul something, just the sport variant only with the max weight being 7,500 pounds Edit: I don’t want to sound like I’m a lanebrain, but I’m trying to make a point.
I test drove my friends Jeep today. Ur right about acceleration it’s not so great but it’s good. It handles amazingly. I’m not really worried about the trunk or driving my family in it. The Jeep is just meant for me and maybe 2 friends. Should I buy one?
@@robertschmitz6805 Civic, Camry, Accord, Corolla, Rav 4, Piolet, CRV, Malibu, Altima, Elantra, I could list more but I think you get the idea. They are all a hell of a lot cheaper than a Wrangler
My 2019 Sahara is rather comfy on long trips. I do think Jeep should have included the aux switch panel and some sought of fold down table on the tailgate. What I hate about my Jeep is that the windshield is suseptable to cracks and that you never stop buying accessories.
I don’t even own a Jeep and I know that most jeeps have much smoother suspension than most normal cars. That’s kinda the thing they can go flying over pot holes and speed bumps and be much better off than most other cars
This really sucks I really want one. I’ve just always been in love with the it looks. I’m not at outdoorsy person I’m a city girl with an edge. I live in a beautiful sunny state. We do have a primary car for long-distance driving and comfort so I deserve this jeep.
I’m a 6 foot tall 300lb woman and the back seats are very comfortable with room to spare, I also sit next to two car seats sooo it all depends on your size and what you find “comfortable”.
I have a 2010 2 Door sport 6M and I love it we haven’t had a problem besides a recall of the tacata airbags. Only negatives I can think of is with the 2 door getting in and out of the backseats is a pain and they are cramped they are definitely meant for kids, another negative is the gas mileage it sucks. The last negative is when you have the top and doors off you have to look at the weather each day to make sure it doesn’t rain or you can put a cover over it. If it does get rained on nothing should be damaged you can drain them out easily.
The TJ and earlier models were basic vehicles that are pretty straightforward to repair and generally inexpensive to own. The newer ones have moved away from that simplicity and are a whole different animal.
The early '08-'10 2 door JK X like I have is utilitarian, a rugged Jeep. No bells and whistles, didn't even have cruise control which was good in my book but I installed it because my wife uses it in snow to get to work. My '08 doesn't have p/w or p/l. Doors and windows are usually in the garage most of the year. 3.73 gears on 33" duratracs w/ 2.5" old man emu lift. Tough as nails. I had an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn and my '08 JK X is by far the best vehicle I've owned. Nowadays all I see are the rolling, all fluff 4 door tampons with hardtops. Just Jeep abominations. To all the 2 door Jeep owners, Jeep On! 🇺🇸
Hell the cons are part of the reason I bought my 3rd Jeep. Every one has been a 2 door including my JLR! I love it, and the cons are NOT cons to me lol! By the way, cheap? 🤣🤣🤣
I really want one but I’m terrified of the low reliability & how many repairs I’d need for it vs having another Toyota. I wouldn’t go off roading, or lift the truck or do anything silly like that to it. Everyone I know that has a Wrangler swears by them, but my mechanic tells me to stay far away from them & stick with Toyota, Honda, Mazda, etc
I have 2008 jeep wrangler 2 door. And finally went on a 300 mile drive. And that was the most uncomfortable ride ive ever had. Always feld like i was going to lose control of it. Well that was a month ago. Now today the engine blew a rod. Are you kidding me. Ive had this thing for 6 years. Had 110 000 miles when i got it. Now has 133000 miles. Piece of trash. Too bad. Looks really nice. Has 5" lift with 35" tires. But now finding out this is a common problem
Wrong very wrong . Stock 14 jk did 127mph in 3rd 5 speed auto np . Now with 35's and torson lsd its lot more stable takes curves at higher speed than stock .
Don’t forget that with the top down or off, you have to think about leaving valuables in the vehicle. Not much security with soft tops as well. Caught in the rain with the top off or down, too bad!
Not if you have a newer one. The inside such as radio and such is designed to have water on it. Can't say personal electronics could get ruined, but if you're just ignorant to the weather, same could be said about a convertible
LordZeus huh? That’s ridiculous. At least a convertible you can stop the car and put the top up automatically. Soft top owners have a much bigger task ahead and if you left your hard top at home, forget about it.
Here in England they are Right hand Steering and because of the big transmission hump there is no space to rest your left foot. I am a left foot braker and so not for me.
Jeeps aren’t designed to be daily drivers and/or a primary vehicle. Jeeps are very expensive toys, and that’s what they are….an expensive toy. And as a toy they’re terrific. They’re fun to drive, customize, and they’re lots of fun. I recently bought my third Jeep and second Wrangler. On the positive side, Jeeps hold their value better than just about any other vehicle. An entire industry exists just to supply customized parts and upgrades for Jeeps at very reasonable prices.
He said they were but I also question it. Jeep isn't known for being reliable. I also question how he says they're inexpensive when they're insanely expensive for what they are
I traded in a nissan sentra for a JL and its my family daily driver no complains what so ever. Its not that noisy or bumpy plus most people upgrade the suspension tires well everything. Even if you dont use it for hard core rock crawling its still a great jeep. And its not that slow 0-60 in 7.3 sec is not slow a all for an suv/ truck.
Cons were made up. Not a family car/ trunk doesn't lock/ not comfortable for tall people. Lol bunch of BS. 3.6 V6 2019 JLU can accelerate 0-60 pretty quick. Video gets my dis like
I always wanted a Jeep. But being married and having kids it wasn't gonna happen. Now my kids are grown took the wife to the dealer she drove one and I came home with a new Firecracker Red 2019 Sport S and my wife loves it........I rarely get to drive it because the wife has it.
Ive had 2 jeeps and I have no idea where you got the idea of "slow steering" . Both my jeeps can turn a circle inside 90% of other cars circles. I move the steering wheel a 1/2 inch and you're in the other lane. If anything the steering is to fast. I had to learn to adjust my steering much less when I went from a truck or car to a jeep. Slow steering, yeah right!
The only real negative of a jeep is its reliability. Extremely unreliable engine & very prone to breaking down. Everything else like someone said is what makes a jeep .
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!
Who else thinks a $700.00 dollar bumper is cheap? Yes you can buy cheaper stuff but if you really take it off road much sometimes cheap stuff can leave you stranded. One thing I love about older jeeps is making alot of your upgrades. You can build upgrades for your new one as well but you might want to put more time and effort into making it pretty so as to not make a newer jeep look so rough or crappy as it were. Love my jeep and I wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle.
I just rented a JL Unlimited and was shocked at how smooth the ride, transmission and acceleration was. The V6 had plenty of power. I’m buying one for sure as my next vehicle and planning on taking it camping and overlanding, of course I’ll lift it a bit with 35” tires. Wranglers really are one of the few vehicles that go anywhere outside of trucks and a 4Runner.
Never understood why everyone wants one. Coming from a BMW and having a 2019 rubicon unlimited for few months. Its amazing, many comprises but an amazing cool suv.
SO I AM UNABLE TO USE THIS AS A EVERYDAY CAR TO AND FROM WORK SCHOOL CHURCH STORES ETC.??? WHY DO JEEP TRUNKS “”””NOT””” LOCK SO I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLACE GROCERIES BAGS LUGGAGE ETC.???
Is you're truly looking for a soccer mom vehicle this is probably not the best choice. Do a lot of research you might be happy with an suv or other vehicles.

Or higher depending on what trim
@@Prxdlxst Yes but for that price almost of them will be well over 100000kms. Are Jeeps still a good buy with that many miles?

Yes. A cheap Jeep means that you can drop in a 5.7L Hemi or LS/LT engine in it.

I've had 3 jeeps, all of which the trunk locked.
My 87 yj locked what is he talking about?
I think saying there’s no separate trunk space like in a normal car

My mother and I took a trip in my Jeep JL 2 door. When we stopped for gas, I let my 74 year old mother drive. She loved it so much that she wouldn’t let me drive the rest of the trip. She drives a Ford Expedition, but loves to drive my Jeep.
I keep an old Wrangler in my garage and drive it in the summer with no top, no doors, if it rains I don't drive. Kinda like summer motorcycling but a little safer🙂
I still drive daily a 2000 2 door soft top TJ SPORT with only 189k on the original 4.0L. I live in Wyoming and it gets me through the howling winters out here with -30F windchills.
There are probably so many more cons to a jeep then pros.
loud, windshield cracks, windshield magnet for bugs, slow, loud, leaks, theft, loud, plastic bumpers, wind noise, etc.....
but its the greatest vehicle ever made --- how many vehicles can you truly customize so easily make 100% unique. I joke: I waited way to long to get a jeep. The unlimiteds are a very refined with a few modern day luxuries, but I love it.
I own a 2012 2 door Rubicon and now also a 2019 4 door Rubicon. They are incredibly FUN to drive and I've gone places where just about no other vehicle can take me. I don't think I'll ever be without a Wrangler ever again. The one thing that I would not agree with in this video is that they are reasonably priced. They are not reasonably priced at all. The only reason I have two is because I have a lot of experience dealing with car dealers and I only buy at MY price which is always far below MSRP. If I can't get my price, I don't buy until I do and that always happens at some point. Keep Jeepin' people!

How much did you get your rubicon compared to msrp?
I’m trying to buy a sport or Sahara at msrp 42k dealer price 40k and they would barely knock off 2k but hoping to get a deal soon
@@katieruiz1146 I got $6000 off MSRP on a the exact Rubicon I wanted.
By the way, the closer you get to the end of 2019 the better discounts you will get. A good idea is to make a list of all the features you absolutely must have and then look in auto trader for one that fits your list. Don't pay for anything else you don't want. Make an offer and stick to it.
Anthony Mellado thank you for your response... I’ll definitely be taking your advice. Hope to be in the Jeep family soon 👊🏻
@@katieruiz1146 Your welcome Katie. I know you'll get the deal you want. Have a blessed day! 🙂
Another negative of the Jeep: Lousy towing capacity, can haul only 3,500 your regular v6, the hybrid should hauled more and don’t get me started with the v8 wrangler with a hemi engine. When you upgrade to either hybrid or v8, it’s still pathetic if you want to haul things like a bigger trailer with only 3,500 pounds for what you spend on it. The gladiator is just a wrangler pickup and that thing can haul something, just the sport variant only with the max weight being 7,500 pounds
Edit: I don’t want to sound like I’m a lanebrain, but I’m trying to make a point.
I test drove my friends Jeep today. Ur right about acceleration it’s not so great but it’s good. It handles amazingly. I’m not really worried about the trunk or driving my family in it. The Jeep is just meant for me and maybe 2 friends. Should I buy one?
I built a Rubicon on the Jeep website just for shits & giggles. It came to 50k +. Not inexpensive.
What car, truck or jeep isn't expensive??
@@robertschmitz6805 Civic, Camry, Accord, Corolla, Rav 4, Piolet, CRV, Malibu, Altima, Elantra, I could list more but I think you get the idea. They are all a hell of a lot cheaper than a Wrangler
@@gamerman4286 yep, cheaper
@@robertschmitz6805 And all more reliable.
@@gamerman4286 not even close. But it's your money.
My 2019 Sahara is rather comfy on long trips. I do think Jeep should have included the aux switch panel and some sought of fold down table on the tailgate. What I hate about my Jeep is that the windshield is suseptable to cracks and that you never stop buying accessories.
My Jeep has more acceleration than a v6 camaro 😂
Chris Craft don’t reply to anything if you aren’t reading right .. I said v6 camaro and my Jeep is a 2014 3.6 .
..for a vehicle not designed to be driven like a sports car, it is scary fast..
Where? I see v6 Camaro does low 5s in 0-60 and wranglers do high 6s
Lmao let’s race then
yeah...maybe a camaro v6 from 1997 lol
( JL ) Unlimited seats 5, and plenty of power for passing on the highway or around town. And I came from an SRT 392 Challenger.
Good points. This is why I got a TJ Jeep as a weekender. For a daily commute the bumpy noisy effect that’s fun off road gets a bit old on the pavement
He contradicts himself so many times 😂
I considered one,but ruled it out as a daily driver.Too much money for just a toy.
what did u get?? have you found any alternatives? would like to know
Simple, informative and straight to the point! I like it
I don’t even own a Jeep and I know that most jeeps have much smoother suspension than most normal cars. That’s kinda the thing they can go flying over pot holes and speed bumps and be much better off than most other cars
This really sucks I really want one. I’ve just always been in love with the it looks. I’m not at outdoorsy person I’m a city girl with an edge. I live in a beautiful sunny state. We do have a primary car for long-distance driving and comfort so I deserve this jeep.
I’m a 6 foot tall 300lb woman and the back seats are very comfortable with room to spare, I also sit next to two car seats sooo it all depends on your size and what you find “comfortable”.
I just bought my first one and I LOVE it. All your cons are for 2 door soft tops. Mines a 4 door hard top aka my dream car in color sting-grey
Do you have trunk space or no?
my dream car is a Grand Wagoneer
My dad has a wrangler and we love it. Great to make TH-cam content!
Some very insightful thoughts on the pros and cons.
I have a 2010 2 Door sport 6M and I love it we haven’t had a problem besides a recall of the tacata airbags. Only negatives I can think of is with the 2 door getting in and out of the backseats is a pain and they are cramped they are definitely meant for kids, another negative is the gas mileage it sucks. The last negative is when you have the top and doors off you have to look at the weather each day to make sure it doesn’t rain or you can put a cover over it. If it does get rained on nothing should be damaged you can drain them out easily.
All Jeep Wranglers have locking trunks!
Wrong no not a single one has a trunk
The TJ and earlier models were basic vehicles that are pretty straightforward to repair and generally inexpensive to own. The newer ones have moved away from that simplicity and are a whole different animal.
The early '08-'10 2 door JK X like I have is utilitarian, a rugged Jeep. No bells and whistles, didn't even have cruise control which was good in my book but I installed it because my wife uses it in snow to get to work. My '08 doesn't have p/w or p/l. Doors and windows are usually in the garage most of the year. 3.73 gears on 33" duratracs w/ 2.5" old man emu lift. Tough as nails. I had an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn and my '08 JK X is by far the best vehicle I've owned. Nowadays all I see are the rolling, all fluff 4 door tampons with hardtops. Just Jeep abominations. To all the 2 door Jeep owners, Jeep On! 🇺🇸
Honor the MB drive a 2 door!
But 3.8.....
Finally a short, straight forward video. Thank you !
Hell the cons are part of the reason I bought my 3rd Jeep. Every one has been a 2 door including my JLR! I love it, and the cons are NOT cons to me lol! By the way, cheap? 🤣🤣🤣
Wait no calf shots??! What the what?? Seriously the main reason to watch this channel is the jacked calf shots! Also the review was good.
The Zucernoodle me too. This guy has great legs.
Honestly just feel like leasing so I’m under warranty. If reliability is an issue I rather be out of there before the storm hits lol
"Don't Buy A Jeep Wrangler and Reasons Why You Should" so should we buy one or not
Clickbait title gives us an ultimate “screw you” lol
@@AdolfTrumpler lol
THANK YOU for your review.I definitely needed to see this!!!
This is the best man on yt. Quick and informative reviews
I really want one but I’m terrified of the low reliability & how many repairs I’d need for it vs having another Toyota. I wouldn’t go off roading, or lift the truck or do anything silly like that to it. Everyone I know that has a Wrangler swears by them, but my mechanic tells me to stay far away from them & stick with Toyota, Honda, Mazda, etc
I have 2008 jeep wrangler 2 door. And finally went on a 300 mile drive. And that was the most uncomfortable ride ive ever had. Always feld like i was going to lose control of it. Well that was a month ago. Now today the engine blew a rod. Are you kidding me. Ive had this thing for 6 years. Had 110 000 miles when i got it. Now has 133000 miles. Piece of trash. Too bad. Looks really nice. Has 5" lift with 35" tires. But now finding out this is a common problem
Theyre unstable on the fwy unlike the mini cooper that well planted specially on high speeds.
Wrong very wrong . Stock 14 jk did 127mph in 3rd 5 speed auto np .
Now with 35's and torson lsd its lot more stable takes curves at higher speed than stock .
2:20 you can hear a faint voice talking under the primary speakers voice and I think you are subliminally planting ideas in my head
Don’t forget that with the top down or off, you have to think about leaving valuables in the vehicle. Not much security with soft tops as well. Caught in the rain with the top off or down, too bad!
Not if you have a newer one. The inside such as radio and such is designed to have water on it. Can't say personal electronics could get ruined, but if you're just ignorant to the weather, same could be said about a convertible
LordZeus huh? That’s ridiculous. At least a convertible you can stop the car and put the top up automatically. Soft top owners have a much bigger task ahead and if you left your hard top at home, forget about it.
I am trying to reconcile
"They have poor reliability ratings" with
"It's durable and it lasts for a lot of years." So which one is it ??
I didn't hear any negatives. Love it!
Here in England they are Right hand Steering and because of the big transmission hump there is no space to rest your left foot. I am a left foot braker and so not for me.
Some person was telling me Fords sucked and his wrangler was more reliable. Oh boy!
I got a brand new Jeep Wrangler and it’s bomb !
Waiting to explode lol
Jeeps aren’t designed to be daily drivers and/or a primary vehicle. Jeeps are very expensive toys, and that’s what they are….an expensive toy. And as a toy they’re terrific. They’re fun to drive, customize, and they’re lots of fun. I recently bought my third Jeep and second Wrangler. On the positive side, Jeeps hold their value better than just about any other vehicle.
An entire industry exists just to supply customized parts and upgrades for Jeeps at very reasonable prices.
Fair enough. Think you covered the bases.
Thanks, Dave for all the Cons and Pros. Most helpful!!
Wonder why you didn’t mention reliability ? Maybe because they’re not reliable ?
He said they were but I also question it. Jeep isn't known for being reliable. I also question how he says they're inexpensive when they're insanely expensive for what they are
Just go buy a crappy rav 4.
Pentastar Nate no. I bought a crappy 2017 F-350 king ranch.
@@Natethegreat200c 2019 Rav4 doesn't look crappy 🤔
Superka70 the engine does and the front looks old. The side and rear is nice though but I’m not a fan. Looks like a Jeep Cherokee from the back too
One of the biggest pros..ya got them headlights that blind on coming drivers.
I traded in a nissan sentra for a JL and its my family daily driver no complains what so ever. Its not that noisy or bumpy plus most people upgrade the suspension tires well everything. Even if you dont use it for hard core rock crawling its still a great jeep. And its not that slow 0-60 in 7.3 sec is not slow a all for an suv/ truck.
Cons were made up. Not a family car/ trunk doesn't lock/ not comfortable for tall people. Lol bunch of BS. 3.6 V6 2019 JLU can accelerate 0-60 pretty quick. Video gets my dis like
Jeep is super hard on your back. Buy it while you are young.
Most of your negatives were about the soft top roof. Just buy the hard top.
I always wanted a Jeep. But being married and having kids it wasn't gonna happen. Now my kids are grown took the wife to the dealer she drove one and I came home with a new Firecracker Red 2019 Sport S and my wife loves it........I rarely get to drive it because the wife has it.
Jeep - love or hate them. For everyone else - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
Clive Sinclair nah the land cruiser 70s series🙏 even tho they dont sell them in america its a shame
This was definitely fast, to the point and helpful!
I have a 2021 Wrangler Rubicon Diesel 3.0L and it has plenty of power. Its suspension is super smooth. Lastly, my trunk locks. 🤷🏻♂️
How much should I expect to pay for that red Wrangler/Rubicon convertible in this video, the 2 door one, going down the trail by the mountains?
Ive had 2 jeeps and I have no idea where you got the idea of "slow steering" . Both my jeeps can turn a circle inside 90% of other cars circles. I move the steering wheel a 1/2 inch and you're in the other lane. If anything the steering is to fast. I had to learn to adjust my steering much less when I went from a truck or car to a jeep. Slow steering, yeah right!
is it worth getting a 2010 wrangler in 2021?
Thank you for this one !!!!
The only real negative of a jeep is its reliability. Extremely unreliable engine & very prone to breaking down. Everything else like someone said is what makes a jeep .
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!
Good to know.
Sucks man, hope you got it sorted
Whats the update? Thanks
“Balanced information” you sir, know what you’re doing. Good video
I love the wranglers
Who else thinks a $700.00 dollar bumper is cheap? Yes you can buy cheaper stuff but if you really take it off road much sometimes cheap stuff can leave you stranded. One thing I love about older jeeps is making alot of your upgrades. You can build upgrades for your new one as well but you might want to put more time and effort into making it pretty so as to not make a newer jeep look so rough or crappy as it were. Love my jeep and I wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle.
A 4x4 Jeep is a classic offroading/ outdoor vehicle. My all time favorite.
Good info 👍🏼
I just bought my 1st wrangler, 2014 RUBICON.
I just rented a JL Unlimited and was shocked at how smooth the ride, transmission and acceleration was. The V6 had plenty of power. I’m buying one for sure as my next vehicle and planning on taking it camping and overlanding, of course I’ll lift it a bit with 35” tires. Wranglers really are one of the few vehicles that go anywhere outside of trucks and a 4Runner.
wow how come i just find this when i bought it yesterday
Never understood why everyone wants one. Coming from a BMW and having a 2019 rubicon unlimited for few months. Its amazing, many comprises but an amazing cool suv.
freakincrazy6932 I dont understand people that buy one and never take it offroad
@@koopspook Do you understand people who buy sports car and never track them?
I love my jeep.
SO I AM UNABLE TO USE THIS AS A EVERYDAY CAR TO AND FROM WORK SCHOOL CHURCH STORES ETC.???
WHY DO JEEP TRUNKS “”””NOT””” LOCK SO I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLACE GROCERIES BAGS LUGGAGE ETC.???
Starr Williams they do lock, even the older models lock. The trunk isn’t very big though, but that’s why there’s a backseat
You can buy Chevy,Escalade or highlander ETC.
How slow r are u . It does not have a trunk at all .
Is you're truly looking for a soccer mom vehicle this is probably not the best choice. Do a lot of research you might be happy with an suv or other vehicles.
Great video now I'm a little nervous to get one but I'll be okay.
Should you get a jeep wrangler as a first car?
You should have did the good aspects first because I started out the video being bummed out lol
The trunk doesn't lock? that's crazy!
