#Jeep #Wrangler - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Tommy, you have quickly launched yourself to the top of my list of favorite auto journalists. Your reviews are articulate, well thought out and exceptionally well presented. You are very natural in front of the camera and come off as a very genuine person. Your integrity is very refreshing. Keep up the excellent work.
He talks about the same shit we all think about. Not stuck on 0-60times and G forces on the track. Genuine real world things!
Thanks for the very kind words! I still have a lot to learn -Tommy

I HAVE A 392 WRANGLER TO REVIEW JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN WORKS GOOD FOR YOU GUYS
We’ll said! I agree 100% excellent presentation!
He's also the cutest. Just sayin. 🤷♂️
I had a ‘99 4.0, manual, Sahara, soft top. Gave it come KC’s, way to much stereo, and some mud terrains. Decades later, I still think about the simple joy of driving that around on sunny days, rowing gears, and smiling the whole way.
‘98 TJ Sahara, manual, 76,000 miles, hard top, soft top, bikini top. The prior owner put at least $20k into it in suspension and wheels and tires and the Warn, jacks, etc. etc. sold it to me for $10k so his soon-to-be ex-wife wouldn’t have it. I was out three nights a week and at least one full day on the weekends. So many great memories.Taught me a lot then, and I’ve learned ton since.
The first vehicle I bought with my own money was a 2000 TJ and I kept it for six years before selling it. I regretted it and immediately hated driving. Fast forward and I got rid of my car after nearly 6 years and got back into a Wrangler and began enjoying driving again--especially in snow. I don't think I'll own anything else, hopefully.
Insane to me that a 2 door manual everything Wrangler is pushing $34k... Crazyness.
more insane people pay twice that for a rubicon
37 over in my area…
Jeep. Just Empty Every Pocket.
26k MAX. This is Silly Overpriced.
in EU used ones are 50k
One of the things I like about Tommy's reviews is that they don't appear biased. Tommy doesn't just bag a car or brand based on preconceptions but rather takes each one on their own merits and experiences. Rather rare in auto journalism today I think.
Keep up the great work Tommy.
Oh no. They are comped nicely by Jeep.
We just got 26 average MPG with our 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2-door 3.6 e-torque with 8-speed auto from Monterey, CA to Sacramento, CA averaging 68 MPH. It was loaded with three passengers and luggage. Acceleration is outstanding too. Very happy and it's a blast to drive.
Love seeing the updates on the 2 door wrangler. I recently bought a 2 door as well and absolutely love it and anytime a video of Tommy’s wrangler is always welcomed!!
Have the exact same spec (2 door Willys Sport, V6 manual, soft top in Sarge Green which was factory ordered) and love it. Have had absolutely no problems. Could have bought pretty much any Wrangler offered. LOVE the lack of tech and gadgets. Wanted something that looked and felt like a real Jeep. Currently 7k miles and all is good. If I had it to do again, I would order the exact same JL again.
Let me guess, you have no kids / wife
I agree 💯 percent.
My wife bought a 21 Sahara with cloth seats, V6 manual and unpainted top. Otherwise she bought all the options. 26,000 trouble free miles. Sixth gear is tall but usable at sea level. Gas mileage is really good and we average 18-24 depending on temp and city/highway balance of use. Your 7k miles isn't really broken in yet.
No problems 7k miles in?? I would hope so lol
@@Jay-rg5mt 7k trouble free miles? I guess that's pretty good for a Chrysler product. 1st and 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma owners: 😆🤣😂🤣🤣😂. Yes I know, but in 2019 the new frame was FREE, took less than three days to install and at the same time I purchased a bunch of new OEM parts for my 2010 TRD Offroad and Toyota installed them at no or greatly reduced labor cost because almost everything was apart anyway. Toyota had me covered and I'm a very happy camper.
I have a 2018 JL Rubicon that I put the Mopar 2” lift and 35’s and I love it! I usually change cars every 12-18 months but I’ve had this one for just over 4 years and don’t see it going anywhere. Thanks for the non-stop great videos TFL!
I loved your Jeep so much that I ordered a 23’ model with the exact same equipment, but in Sting Gray. It took 7 weeks to get it and it’s awesome!
Jeep should make a daily driver, long distance travel, reliable version of the wrangler.
Roman I must say you raised a great level headed young man. Doesn't have to have all the fancy crap to enjoy life!
Great review Tommy! I have a 21 JL 2 door Sport S, first thing I did was remove the backseat as it's just me & my wife and dog. I however am spoiled with the bigger radio, power windows and heated seats/steering wheel. I'm over 65 so I like a few creature comforts. Had a 4 door JL Sport, and though it was more comfortable due to its longer wheelbase, I don't miss it. The 2 door is much more fun and nimble off-road. Enjoy your ride and be safe.
Great review. Hands down my favorite auto reviewer. Inspired me to purchase a Jeep again and so far I love my 2018 JLU Rubicon. I will say being older and having had a brand new YJ and TJ smaller models, I ‘m loving the extra room and of course the pampering options are great. Keep up the awesome job.
14:22 Hey Tommy, those straps on the back of the rear seat...those are retention straps for when it's flipped forward. See the metal loops on the back of the B-pillars? They're for those straps. ;) It's also covered in the owner's manual. :D Enjoy!
Tommy, regarding securing the rear seat when folded up: there are two velcro straps on the back of the rear seat with two corresponding brackets. You just thread the strap through the loops and that keeps it in place. You can see the straps and loops at 14:22
Another great video. As others have said, you are a favorite among automotive journalists. I picked up the 2-door, manual, soft top, Sport S. So it did come with power locks and windows and the 7” stereo with CarPlay. Comfortable to drive. I have 12K miles in the first 6 months and zero complaints. The only mods have been a receiver hitch and LED headlights.
I have a bare bones 2015 JK 2 door with a manual trans, and just like yours, no power windows, door locks or anything. I love it for how basic it is. I took the back seat out (really easy to do actually though it is heavy) and stored it. My dogs have a ton of space in the back now. Love this car for what it is, daily drive it, been through some terrible flooding and it saved me, take it for light off roading every weekend, really fun and engaging car, zero problems at all
Tommy, you can easily have the [off] road rash repaired on your LR wheel without any issues.
My friend’s wife scrubbed both right wheels on his BMW 750iL against a curb. After the reconditioning was done you couldn’t tell them apart from new.
Who cares.. go bash the other ones.
Or just replace it with the spare and then use the scrapped up one as your spare.
Or just get on Craigslist and buy all 5 stock wheels never used for $250 like I did. Stock jeep wheels are cheap because everyone gets aftermarket wheels.
The rear seat has velcro straps on it that loop through tie-down points on either side of the Jeep by the doors (interior, behind the driver and passenger front seats) This keeps the rear seat from flopping back and forth.
Thank you for pointing that out, the loose folded rear seat thing was bugging me lol.
I have a barebones 2020 JL Wrangler exactly like this one and have driven it for 6 months and was wondering how he didn't know about those straps. I used bungee cords after I first bought it until I found out about the velcro straps. As long as you securely strap the back seat, no more annoying noises. Like a lot of things on this Jeep, it's a little time consuming and manual, but as he said at the beginning about the manual windows, it's actually nice to have a simple, primitive vehicle in today's highly automated world. I don't mind the extra work and it gives me something to delegate to my son, daughter, or wife when they ride with me.
My old TJ came with a strap that looped around the sport-bar and held the seat when folded. Simple and easy.
Why would it flop back and forth. Wow
@@DarylRagland-ds1op because with the seat folded forward the way they designed it, that can happen. I've had it happen. That's why they put the velcro straps in it.
Love the feed back in this update. Thanks a mill. I second the below comments on your good work. Wish this version was available in South Africa.
I won a competition and Jeep gave me a two door jeep to play with for the weekend absolutely loved it. In the Jeep I had there was a velcro strap that you looped through the chair to hold it up so the dog didn't get squashed when you braked or moved.
This Jeep reminds me of my grandpa’s 1970 Willys and how I learned driving! The gear shifts and the soft roof is nostalgic!
Congrats with 1st year, been following this since the beginning!
Loved the update. 😂I literally bought my 2 door 2018 JK around the same time and love it a year later glad you’re still loving yours.
In January of 2021 I bought a 2dr Rubicon in Snazzberry full loaded. I have 23K hard off road miles and it’s been absolutely flawless! I love it! I’m getting 21 mpg here in AZ.
You have become my favorite vehicle reviewer. So smooth, honest, and factual about how daily use works. Vehicle wise at 33k hard to wrap my head around. I know it has a great following, convertible and off-road second to none but as a built GX470 owner with similar money in a vehicle, it is almost hard to take seriously unless you are a hardcore offroader.
@Toasty 13.5 on the commute
@Toasty Highway mileage is basically the same. Full-size spare, winch bumper, mud terrains, roof rack with 7-gallon water tank, and a solar panel. This thing is about as aerodynamic as a barn door. The price I must pay however to drive my dream wagon. I actually don't drive that much, I fill up 2-3 times a month which is less than $200. I have had it for years and still doesn't have 100k on it.
@Toasty Ok that is a lot of driving. I daily mine but my work and kids' schools are close by. I had my land lease expire and I live in Texas so there are basically zero public offroad lands. I try to go to Colorado once or twice a year to get in some wheeling. Having a twin gas can basket is really nice. I don't necessarily use it for me, the peace of mind is great, however, but I have bailed out quite a few stranded folks with it. I run 5 gal gas and 5 gal water. Wish when I lived in Colorado I had made it over to Utah but there was just so much to do close by that I never made the trip.
Great review. Thanks for being honest - no vehicle is perfect … you helped by pointing out things to think about. Love that Jeep!
I currently have a ‘22 2 door willys and I’m getting around 25-28 mpg with a set of all seasons with the 2.0 turbo. It rides great and it makes a great ride for a commuter.
Use the velcro straps on the backseats to loop it through the metal rings on the pillars to keep the backseat from flopping around when it's folded up.
Great review. I bought a Wrangler JK Sport new in 2016 with just A/C cruise control and Automatic. 6 years later I still love my Jeep. I think of it this way, in 1985 when I was in High School and longed for a Jeep with those options would have been a CJ7 Laredo.
I couldn't agree more with your comments on the fact that you don't need all the options. People get so caught up with options that they don't really use all that much. My current vehicle has way less options than my last 3 cars and at first I thought it was going to be a big deal but honestly I could care less and it saved me allot of money and the vehicle ended up bieng way lighter and gets better gas mileage and is better on brakes tires and has higher payload. Great video Tommy. You are the best TFL person. You are very thorough and practical. Keep up the great work. 👍
Great one year summary Tommy. Have been following this Jeep from day 1. Have never owned a Wrangler but when I do, it'll be fairly close to this spec except may the soft top. Out here in Alberta hard top is a must in my opinion to protect oneself from the elements. Keep up the good work!
Bad thing about a wrangler, is once you actually own one. Then there is no going back to anything else. I've tried. Just bought a 2022 unlimited sport auto ,hard top of course, and everything but 4 goats and a servant. slip differential, turbo diesel, you name it it's got it. Butt opposite of his plain jane. Peace.
I drove one of these in Maui the whole Hana road, and I love it. It was very maneuverable and fun to drive in those curves and tight spaces.
Because of your videos on the Jeep, it reinforced us to get our own JL 2dr Willys. Enjoying it very much as well.
Interesting comment about the tall gearing on the manual. In addition to my JLU, I have a 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk and it also has an issue with tall gearing. The vehicle has a 9-speed transmission, but never goes above 7th gear, even at 70 MPH. I would like to see the gearing brought down a little so we can take advantage of all the gears at US speeds.
Love it. You absolutely convinced me. Just ordered a 2023 Willy’s myself. Did opt for the larger screen/Apple Car Play but other than that just went standard. Can’t wait to get it.
I actually really like this build... the power locks and power windows are totally cool. That manual is interesting, I know the throws are super long and the gears are super tall... but your entire build is so interesting. I absolutely loved your 1 year review Tommy! Great job!
Great review Tommy! I recently test drove a JK just like yours, the seats are far more comfortable than my Colorado.
Tommy, well done. I can agree with some of your points, I am now almost 3yrs into owning my Jeep Gladiator, with the one exception, I swapped my first with the 3.6 to the diesel and have zero complaints for the cost upgrade... well, now that fuel is over $5 here in Tx where i am at, but averaging 22+ for city and got about 26 highway doing 75-80mph the whole way, so pretty impressed so far. I wish Jeep mounted the mirrors on the a-pillar like the new Bronco, but aside from that, I love it and will likely keep it maintained and pass to my kids when they're old enough to drive in another 4-5yrs. Keep up the great work and honest reviews!
I bought. A 4 door JK Wrangler a month ago and totally agree with your comments. My first Jeep
After many years of Land Rover. So far so good.
My dad and grandfathers drove military Jeeps in WWII and Vietnam. They proclaimed and I found it true with my '19 JL Sport S, that a Jeep is for 2 people and "light gear." Meaning 2 people, fishing and hunting gear, moderately that is. Other than that they are fun, I repeat fun vehicles..
Your reviews are accurate and entertaining. Thank you
Tommy, if you ever wanted power lock/power windows I expect it would be as easy as swapping the doors, which is extremely easy on a Wrangler. For remote locking/unlocking you would still need new key fobs and whether or not the remote locking/unlocking module is installed is still questionable, but I would expect it is built into another module for manufacturing streamlining.
I expect doors with those features could be picked up at a scrap yard at some point. Someone who is capable might be able to open the doors up and add the parts they want.
I just purchased my first Wrangler. 2022 Sport with the 3.6 Auto. I too was completely surprised how well it does on fuel. 26 mpg on long hwy trips and 20-21 on average for my work commutes.
Great review Tommy, we can tell you love your Wrangler and I must say it looks pretty cool!
I agree with your insights about the radio and electronics! To me that is almost perfect! A map that doesn't require a subscription would be my only upgrade.
My back seats been out of my jk for at least 6yrs and I don't miss it I've hauled flat screen TVs back there I love it
About the same time you got yours I got a 2021 JLU willys with the etorque 3.6 and 8spd auto. By far the best car I have ever owned. Also, I'm 6'2" and the seats are just fine - evidenced by 9hour road trips. Now has 15,000 miles, Highly recommend
Well stated on all levels. That is exactly the model and options I would choose.
I think it’s great you are keeping it stock. No lifts etc.
Liked the truck feel of the manual i had with my 2012 JK, took a little while to get used to my 21's manual but all in all they both worked for me.
14:20 - I use small bungee cord to hold folded backseat - I just hook around passenger seat headrest. Same thing for keeping it flat on the bottom - you can hook it to the latch.
The perfect Jeep. This video was right on point.
This is a Jeep you keep long term and inherit to your future kids.
I find your comments about the gearing really interesting. In my JK Rubicon I'm in 6th almost all the time for maintaining speed on flat ground.
I have the same exact rims on my Willys. That rear rim was scratched in the deep mud in one of your earlier videos. As I watched I was thinking 'he's gonna scratch the hell out of those rims. I got mine stuck in some deep mud, spun the tires and I now have the same scratches on all 4 of my rims. Nice vids Tommy
Thanks for the update and a great video. I have a 2021 Gladiator JT Willy's Sport - same color, same build - 6-speed manual, no PW/PL/PM and no Apple CarPlay. I love it, looks great, fantastic value, albeit with similar nitpicks - don't miss power windows/mirrors, but power locks would be nice, and I liked the manual in my JKU Wrangler a little better (I seem to stall the JT at least once a week - never had a problem in the JK). The Gladiator is also an excellent road trip vehicle compared to my JK - longer wheelbase gives a much better ride and better manners with cross winds. I drove the Gladiator from NY to CO about a month ago - comfortable trip - just needed to turn up the radio because of those KM2s are a little loud at 70+ MPH - got to do some off roading in Buena Vista too.
I've got a 2019 4 door sport base model only option was the 8 speed. I've been pretty happy with it friends love it and plenty of space. With mostly city driving with Rubicon take offs I get about 17mpg. Funnily enough flame red like Tommy's, but my 5in unconnect is often laggy, and a pain to sometimes reconnect to my phone after either a long day or 5 mins in a store. If I could do one thing it would be to upgrade theunconnected. But I do love the soft top as well.
Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍🏻
Great review Tommy. In my experience, and I got my JL about three months after you….stock headlights are terrible, and although stereo is great…the sound bar vibrates against the structure, and it is INCREDIBLY annoying. Otherwise, incredible vehicle. Much better than my ‘84 CJ I used to own!
Good job tommy, really love your honesty keep up the good work
It’s definitely a cool jeep- I had a GC and the same engine. Auto trans got the same mileage…🥴 But your Jeep is sweet! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😎
Great review and thank you for sharing your experiences with your Jeep. Hopefully someday I will be able to get one again.
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE
I got my 2022 in March- identical to yours except 4dr & Sting Gray (even the tan seats- I'm going to Scotch Guard them soon) and I love it (last one was a 1993 YJ Sport in Navaho Turquoise). You are correct about the gears- 3rd goes to 45, 4th is for 45-65, and with 5th or 6th above that lol. 5th gear and with a hill at 62 miles per hour slows ya down- stay in 4th if hilly at all, lol. One thing nice in 2022 is they added UConnect 4 & the 7" screen on the Willy's package! 😁 I only got the 4 door for the extra storage, ease of getting in back seat and for resale. The soft top is amazing and incredibly easy to use compared to past generations- also completely fine in cold weather and noise is not bad either.
One of my favorite videos is Tommy talking about and driving his Jeep Willys. Showing so many folks that you don’t have to spend a lot to have something special off road. And roughly 20 mpg a mile or more up and a soft too that has handled some of the snow fall. That works for me! Lol, It gives me hope of trading in my older TJ and go for Willys Sport or the like. Thanks guys for continuing to do these.
This thing's interior is hideous.. I paid a little over 20k for my 2015 jk rubicon hard rock and I would never downgrade from those features. There's no justifying paying more than 20k for this jeep but to each their own 😅
@@marcelocruz9047 so you're comparing the cost of your 7-8 year old used jeep to a jeep someone bought new a year ago 🤔 and you may have more features but the JL interior is way nicer than your JK everything you touch is nicer in the JL and it's significantly more quiet and comfortable than a JK
@@ChrisH421 I guess it's an objective observation. If compared to the top trim rubicon jl to the top trim jk you would have something to compare, but you don't. Rubicons are all leather so. My point though is that paying anything over 20k for this jeep brand new is highway robbery
@@marcelocruz9047 what are you talking about? You are comparing what you paid for a used car to a new car msrp. A Rubicon hardrock cost 41k plus in 2015 about 47k in 2021 money. Your car was about 15k more to buy new than his it should have more features. You can always get more features buying used vs new, but the point still stands JLs have nicer interiors than JK and the price you paid for a used car has nothing to do with the price of a new one.
I bought my Sport to do difficult trails with and it does that very well. I shouldn't complain about any other aspect of it so these are minor complaints.
The steering could be better, it should be better. I've owned older Jeep models with solid front axle and they had much better steering.
I agree with the gearing- I have the 8-speed automatic and when driving on the highway if you need to change speed a little bit the transmission has to downshift. If the final drive ratio was lower this would likely affect the fuel mileage so I'm not sure if that's an option.
The radio system is pretty horrible. I don't think any normal adult can operate the radio, couldn't they give us an easy way to change between FM and Satellite?
I'm happy with the comfort on long trips. I've done many all day trips and have no complaints with that.
I like the separate heater controls if that radio breaks you could put in an aftermarket stereo
thanks for great review and honesty on your own vehicle.
Lean the front seats forward when securing it and those Velcro straps work fine. Our backseat is literally never down and it never moves.
I just bought a 2023 Wrangler Wyllis 4 door base trim. You are right about the key fob. The Wrangler's is about twice the size of my Charger Scatpack's fob where I have: remote start, panic alarm, and remote trunk.
True 2 door enthusiasts take out their back seat and never look back.
It’s a great looking, capable Jeep! I like the tire size. It gives it a military look a bit.
I bought a 2012 2 dr Rubicon brand new for 41k fully loaded. Anyway I'm still in love with it !!!!! Great Jeep review!!!
Tommy, the rear seats have straps. Just behind both front seats are metal loops. The straps go through the loops and the seats don't bounce around. I Love My Jeep!
I'm getting 26mpg with my Wrangler. 6th gear is the most fuel efficient gear. However though any mole hill or slight incline, go in 5th. Quite impressed with economy for a manual transmission jeep. 360 miles per tank for me is very easy to get.
My wife's 2 door sport with the 2.0 gets 26 MPG highway also. Hers is an automatic.
@@rlovell383 11 year truck driver and been thoroughly trained to keep rpms low when driving. Diesels operate between 1100 rpm and 1500 tops. Low rpms = more money in my pocket.
Keep in mind, this guy lives in CO at near 6k feet. I also live in CO and being at high altitude, you lose at least 20%.
@@mikekenner9218 You don't lose anything with a turbocharger :)
WTF! How do u get 26? My 2018 Moab averages 10
The intro music is mixed really well. We're about a month into our Jeep High Tide. Honeymooning still.
I have a tj currently. I'll never ever get rid of it. I'm gonna get a two door jl in the future when i need a daily driver to replace my kl. Great review.
We have a Bronco Sport and I really want a Bronco, but there is something so refreshing about this that makes me feel like a cheaper jeep would be more satisfying to have
I always liked Tommy he does a nice thorough job reviewing vehicles... If I were in the market for a Wrangler I would go the same setup only 4 door. I would get manual with the 3.6 pentastar and the Willys package. Slap after market stuff on after...
Hey Tommy.
I am seriously considering getting a 2021 Jeep wrangler much like yours except it has four doors. I am very glad that you made these videos of you and your Wrangler, it’s definitely helping me decide.
You mentioned that you were thinking about getting a winch, which winch would you recommend?
My next vehicle will be a Willys Sport because of Tommy. You are a very good evangelist!
Great review. Tommy is very level-headed and sensible, unlike some other video reviewers who will remain nameless.
Nice review, I agree that lockers aren't totally necessary. I have a TJ and JKU rubicon and take both out rock crawling on blue and black trails at Rausch Creek. Really don't use the lockers, but good to have I guess should I need them.
Great user review! For storage in a rather compact car, almost nothing beats the Honda Element.
Sick car Tommy! Great review!
Awesome video and fantastic review or your Wrangler. SO many good memories of my first few vehicles with ZERO power options lol! But yet everything will work for eternity. I’d have to get the hardtop because of my Canadian climate and yes would prob struggle with the seat comfort and lack of storage. Love a manual in anything I can get it in (save for trucks). This is a niche configuration but I think it’ll be more appreciated than you think when it comes time to move it along.
Appreciate this Tommy. I’m looking at buying a 2024 Rubicon X 2 door and your feedback on the manual has pushed me to the auto.
That's a great Jeep. Just what I want with hardtop. But everything you have in yours is all I need.
You have an awesome job. Thanks for your videos.
Desert Does It seat risers, you'll love them!
I have the exact same jeep right down to the color, I love it 😁. No regrets here either
One other pro in my opinion, it looks great with the options you got on it and the color.
I’m enjoying my ‘21 manual Gladiator Rubicon!
I’ve gotten 20.2 mpg over 22k miles.
Have a 2020 Wrangler Sport, our third wrangler, first with Auto Trans. Added the Auto Trans to get the remote start, dealer said they could not add a remote start to the JL. Added cold weather package, headlights upgrade package, hardtop and soft top.
Only problem so far is the sun-visor, it fell out of the mounting position. Otherwise great, like you say the ride is a tremendous upgrade over the JK.
The manoeuvrability with the 2 door is great. Heater & Air Con are great too. Also wish it was 4” to 6” longer. An extra 4” at the back door would be a tremendous addition.
I removed the cables that default to the rear seat to folt up and added Paracord pulls on both sides
Also when you fold the back seat fwd those black straps with Velcro go though the silver d ring on the back of the b pillar and back to themselves that keeps the seat from flopping back down while driving
Thanks for the video. I'm glad you own this gem, as all videos focus on super loaded offroad vehicles that most of us cannot afford, it's nice there is a video on a base model. Now, everyone says to get a four door model, but why not let people know that just buy a family crossover for 98% and have this cheap model that is classic for the weekends.
Now, I wish the Willis had a rear locker as standard and not a limited one. Also, some vinyl seats would be great. Sadly, I don't know how to drive a stick, so I'll have to get an auto. I had a 2012 two door sport JK, so this new base model would be a huge upgrade. I had a 2012 two door and you can carry lots of items. I don't get why many people are so stubborn that want to carry their whole house when camping or going out and they forget on just packing lightly and it's so much easier to get up and go.
great review, I didn't know a 35k car didn't have so many features I took for granted on many other cars
Great review. Very honest.
I just bought a 2018. 4 door Jeep Wrangler Unlimted Sport 4 door,
automatic and v6. 14k
miles on it for $31,000. It also has a 3 piece hard top and tow package (that was never used). New tires and rims. Totally sweet deal. I love it. It's my 3rd jeep.
I bought a 2-door JL Sport S. One of the best vehicles I’ve ever driven. And I’ve driven Cadillacs, mercs, mustangs, trucks, and HMMWVs. If you get the ZF8 transmission instead of the manual, it’ll haul ass in any speed range.
Of course, I went upgrading everything, with 4.56 gears. But stock, everyone was surprised at how comfortable and fast it is.
