BREAKING NEWS, SCOTTY! RAV4s (2013-2018) are being investigated by the NHTSA. The problem, most likely caused by poor repairs or servicing, has caused fires and failures...
Bought a 2006 civic 140.000 miles...automatic trans....if i dont warm up ...slips a tad bit when taking off....should i be worried?...not sure when filter changed..or should i just make sure warmed up properly till cold weather breaks?
He's rude as hell but thinks it's you who's stupid if you don't share his opinion. Lots watch his videos why I do not know. Can't take anyone serious who goes on a wild rant one day and does a 180 on same vehicle tomorrow. I guess it's all about getting views. With over 6 million subs hes doing something right, in absence of factual information.
A recently married man was in his garage working on his Celica. His new wife came out and watched him for a few minutes before saying "Now that we are married, you should probably sell that old thing" Suddenly the mans face went pale and he looked as tho he was going to be sick. "Are you OK ?, whats the matter" asked his wife. The man said, "For a moment there you sounded like my Ex-Wife" "EX-WIFE" the woman shouted, "You never told me you were married before" "I wasn't" he said.
I have a stock 2020 JL Wrangler 2dr Manual for over a year. It has been perfect. Oil changes and tire rotations. That's it. Most trouble free vehicle I've ever owned. Better than my Japanese Subaru Outback.
I’ve owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2 Jeep Wranglers. Jeeps don’t have the quality of a Japanese vehicle but I’ve never had a major problem with any of the Jeeps I’ve owned. My wife’s car is a Mazda CX-5 which is a fabulous vehicle. I drive a Jeep JK Wrangler and I love it. I did have to replace the thermostat on my Jeep recently. That cost me $46.00.
I'm still driving my 2000 JEEP TJ Wrangler with 188k on the original 4.0L. Recently had to replace the clutch and water pump but other than basic spark plugs and oil, she still runs great.
But you literally just made a video going on about how you like the Gladiator with the V6 and 8 speed auto. Damn it Scotty!!! I love my 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon!!! Has 2K miles on it and runs like a dream!
This was never supposed to happen. They made some mistakes around year 2000, and some Jeeps came out more reliable than the leadership had pointed out. People got fired, there were reorganizations, and they after some time came back on track developing cars that not would last that long. Everyone can make mistakes.
Gladiator is a beast! On road and offroad, Scotty has lost his mind... Swapped my 2020 jt Rubicon in for a Mojave couple weeks ago... And its an Amazing machine ( i dont rock crawl i go fast)
I guess I’m a lucky guy... I’m over 60 and have owned Jeeps my whole life. Mostly Wranglers...but some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Cherokees too. I take care of my vehicles and never miss servicing or oil changes, and air filters. I also keep them as clean as possible, both as a hobby and so I can notice any strange leaks or fluids. I’ve never had SERIOUS issues with any of these Jeeps. V8’s, V6’s...no troubles. Don’t get me wrong, I do agree there are times when FCA released products too soon. The 9 speed transmission originally was released before the software was ready.But, even so, you can keep your vehicles running pretty good if you just pay attention. If I am one lucky guy...I’m real lucky. Because Ive owned almost everything Jeep has made...except 4 cylinders (although I like the 2.0 Hybrid/Generator motor). No troubles...know on wood.
I agree the 9 speed ZF tunning was not much fun specifically the 2 dog clutch shift points, but it was pretty bad in Hondas too, I've heard it's much better in latest models
Jeeps may have gone downhill but I got a 16 Cherokee and I REALLY like how rugged it is compared to any other SUV I've seen. The rubber mats are so easy to clean, the interior looks great, and the only problem mine has is the shift lights get confused and it throws a "shifter service" warning, but it drives and shifts just fine.. it's literally just the lights lol That said, nothing about the new cherokee's scream off road to me. It's just a typical SUV with a few nice touches on the interior.
I will literally save up like 20 Scotty videos until I have a 2 hour drive and then knock them all out. The best talk radio ever. I'm a former military mechanic, and I love listening to his intel and perspective on things.
Speaking of 70's Jeeps, I bought a new one(AMC)in '74. I really loved that old thing but it was not a quality vehicle or one you could depend on. Kept it for 12 years but had to replace many parts on it over the years. Sure was fun in the snow though.
I have owned a number of vehicles in my 62 years of life and all have been 4x4 vehicles, I have owned Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota and Jeeps. I perform all the maintenance you are supposed to. I have never had a mechanical issue with any of my Jeeps and I use them hard offroad (from the Everglades to Alaska) and put a lot of miles on them (typically 100k plus in the first few years, I travel a lot). Sure they drive like a brick on highways, but once offroad, there is not a modern vehicle that comes close to a modern Jeep. As for warranties, well, I purchased a 2023 JTR (Gladiator Rubicon) last week and it came with a lifetime warranty on both motor and drivetrain as long as I do not modifiy them without MOPAR parts and do regular oil/fluid changes as you are supposed to. Jeep knows people will be modifying many aspects of their Jeep and they do not void warranties for most modifications. There simply is not a modern vehicle that will perform offroad like either a Wrangler of Gladiator with the Rubicon trim (well, maybe the Mojave if you are into Desert racing).
I literally just bought my first Jeep today. It is a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and my daughter bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4x4 that was fully loaded. Hopefully we have better luck with ours.
@@mikesmnell414, absolutely amazing! I am totally loving it and will always be a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon owner from here on out. I’ve wanted a Rubicon since they came out with the TJ’s I think it was? I almost bought a 2007 JK Unlimited Rubicon but things fell through. But now, I am happy to finally be the owner of one, with many more to come.
@@j.r.777 That’s good to hear. Honestly a lot of what people have been saying about Jeeps had me really worried about my choice and I seeing people with good experiences and good reports about the new Jeeps puts me at ease. Honestly it’s so hard to find positive reviews about Jeeps except for the people who drive them.
@@mikesmnell414 I’ve owned my wrangler for 8 years as of next month. It’s been great and LOADS of fun. I’ve had two things break in that time. One radiator hose clamp ($2 to fix) and the rear windshield washer mechanism has a leak. I should probably buy a new one for like $75, but “eh”. Also, I’m about ready for my 3rd windshield but those are free through insurance. Other than that it’s been completely trouble free. I also just upgraded the shocks, springs, wheels, tires, brake pads and rotors. It’s even better now! And it’s resale value is insanely high.
I've owned and still own Jeeps....never had any issues with mine. Of course I never played bulldozer or submarine either. My Gladiator does everything I ask of it with no problems. So that's my 2 cents.
@@krazi77 Comanche shared nothing with the Dakota it was 100% Cherokee with a box instead of backseats. Dakota was a body on frame truck with a dodge v6 instead of the amc inline 6. Cool vehicle I wish they made more of them
He’s not wrong. I own a Jeep Mojave 2021. I’ve had to have the valve body and driveline assembly replaced. The hardest part is dealing with STAR warranty service. They don’t want to take on responsibility for solving “the” problem. They want to solve ”a” problem. So it’s been too many visits to get the actual problem fixed. All that said, I still have a love/love relationship with my Jeep. If this hadn’t been a warranty repair I would have just fixed it myself since Jeeps are pretty easy to work on and fix anyway.
I live in Alaska and a lot of people have Gladiators, they are actually quite great from what the owners tell me. Not really a good place for cars where I live. Gotta have skid plates to survive the winter around here lol. I drive a really ancient chevy 1500 tho haha, the old ones are built like tanks. Love your channel Scotti!! 🏁
Yeah. His schtick gets old. “Everything sucks. Too much plastic. You’re stupid.” Ive gotten very bored with him. The Celica isn’t the only car ever made with quality.
Most Jeep buyers know of the reliability issues .Knowing of the Endless upgrades availability. More than any vehicle on Earth. What they want is the platform. Easy to work on, width and weight. The personal cars this man owns is proof his opinion is as trustworthy as gas station sushi.
I actually had a 92 jeep cherokee with the 4.0l straight 6, at the time I owned it it was pretty old but it had 120k mls on it and I drove 130 mls each day commute, and I did not keep up with the maintenance like ever, but it still lasted, it was a tank! Great motor!
Planning on buying one of these because I like the looks. Working at a auto shop has its perks gonna try and fix as many issue early on once I get mine
Scotty, on the Chrysler comments. Parents bought a brand new ram truck back in 06-07 Transmission gave out before 50k mikes. Right during the recession. Under warranty and everything, dodge said basically “f*** off you were missing one oil change receipt”. Do not give that company a dime.
Got 9k on a Gladiator and BY FAR the best truck-SUV I’ve had since my 1980 Toyota 4x4 that rusted out in 5 years. Rides smooth and with a dependable pentastar engine. Great tech and ergonomics verses antiquidated Toyota etc. I love Scotties sound old tech mech but he’s behind the times with modern vehicles.
@@CarnivoreDMD Yup. Don’t get me wrong, my old Tundra was a work horse, just boring AF to drive. Jeep might not be as reliable, but it’s actually fun to drive.
@@CarnivoreDMD once it has 500k on the same engine and transmission, then ill think about dropping 60k on a jeep. Otherwhise, im sticking to the good ole 4runner. I have yet to see anything out last one of those other than a toyota tundra which got over a million miles on the same engine and transmission.
Love My Gladiator, most fun truck ive owned, no problems or worries 3 yrs of offroading and road trips. I still look back at it while walking away at the parking lot.
My wife has a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited and I just bought a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon diesel. We are very happy with them. Personal choice as it has always been.
I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with the 3.8 v6 and have kept it all stock. The only major work I’ve had done is rebuilding the front end at 171,000 miles. It sips a little oil but it doesn’t give me any trouble. Of course, I maintain it very well.
I bought a 1976 Jeep Renegade CJ5 brand new with the 304 V8. It didn't get good fuel mileage and the on road ride was pretty bad buy it was pretty much bullet proof. I kept it for 8 years and punished the s... out of it. I changed the oil around every 3000 miles, I put 1 battery in it, did the brakes once, replaced the tires once, replaced both headlights ( they didn't like the bouncing off road) and that's it. I actually drove it to work for 3 weeks with a dead battery. One of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned.
I bought my first Jeep Wrangler in 2020. I’ve owned 50 cars, and many of them were/are Toyota’s. I bought it for two reasons. First, until the Bronco, it was the only car where you can take off doors, the top and the windshield. Second, it retains 70% of its value over 5 years - more than any other car (including my 4RUNNER). The biggest cost of a new car is depreciation, so the Jeep over five years will likely cost less than most other cars. Having said that, I did purchase an extended warranty.
Well, I love my Wrangler.... I put over 120,000 miles on the last one I had (2010) and same on the one before that.... No major problems with any of them. I hope this newer one holds up as well as the other 2 did.
My friend just replaced engine in Hyundai Sonata with 50k milles. In warranty, good for him... and besides that Kias don't ride where Wranglers go, it could have been just payment Rider but if not it makes dramatic difference
I own a 06 jeep commander v6 with 250k miles on it running like a champ. Ive recently purchased a 2021 jeep gladiator high altitude and i absolutely love it. Has 18k miles and ive owned it since new. Its definitely a head turner. Every car will require repairs to maintain since parts are designed to fail after so many miles. This is how car manufactures continue to make money.
I bought my 2020 JT Rubicon in November of 2019. It’s got a vibration and a slight rough idle when stopping at lights, but as annoying as it is, I enjoy it. Someday I’ll rip it all out and install a V-8. Never selling it.
@@justinsalazar9070 To each their own. I didn’t settle for anything. I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years and it’s done everything I needed of it; especially in the Minnesota winters or off roading in the mud and light rock crawling. I would have bought a Toyota Corolla if all I wanted was transportation and reliability.
I've owned 34 cars with 7 of them Jeeps. All of them have been very reliable. The one that required attention was a YJ that was a mess when I bought it. Took the time to fix it properly since the previous owner only put gas in it and that's it. That was in 2017. Now six years later I will be replacing the tie rods, lower steering column and upper steering shaft bearing. After 166,000 miles it is only natural that those items would wear out. Engine has been pretty solid. Had a 2013 Grand Cherokee for 10 years and the only problem was the oil pressure sensor which I fixed myself. Heck the OEM battery lasted 8 full years.
Hey Scotty we all know that you are not a jeep fan but every now and then a good one gets through...I own since new a 2004 jeep liberty that has never seen the inside of a shop ever. I have only ever replaced batteries and tires even the coolant is factory original! I have towed everything under the sun with this little jeep and it has never let me down. The assembly line must have a good week when they built it!
Jeep Gladiator owner here and my 5th Jeep in my life. All been solid over the last 17 years of my driving life. My Gladiator is an unbelievable vehicle with car like mpg and 442lbft of torque. Anyways Scott I dont disagree about the little Jeeps but leave Wrangler and Gladiators out of it. Those two vehicles are legitimately the only true off road vehicles left on the road.
@A Rodriguez I bought my first Jeep Wrangler in 2020. I’ve owned 50 cars, and many of them were/are Toyota’s. I bought it for two reasons. First, until the Bronco, it was the only car where you can take off doors, the top and the windshield.

The biggest cost of a new car is depreciation, so the Jeep over five years will likely cost less than most other cars. Having said that, I did purchase an extended warranty.
I'm not a mechanic but it doesn't seem to matter what vehicle you own when you tell someone their friends nephew's roommate had that same car and had a bunch of problems with it. Just take care of it and I hope you like it bro.
The old 225 Dauntless V-6 (actually the 225 Buick engine) was great on fuel economy. I also had a 1984 CJ-7 that I installed a 1964 Dodge WW Stromberg carburetor on with the five speed manual and original 2.72 gears with the 4.2 inline six and it did 24 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG around town. Idle RPM was set at 500. This was in the 1990,s and the person I sold it to is still driving several days a week. If you can’t leave it out in the rain without the top it’s not a Jeep.
Hey! why does everyone need to kick Jeep? Wranglers are the most competent off road vehicle you can buy that can also be daily driven AND not cost a mint.(relatively) They don't get good mileage.Stuff breaks on them. IT"S A JEEP THING.
Jeeps are a easy target because we don't have a lot of the, my "canadian" ford is better than your "mexico" chevy....no no my chop stick brand of choice is better.... Real Jeep people just love our jeeps and don't really care about what other people drive. When we pass them stuck in a puddle we will just pull them out with a smile.
My grandfather and I got two 1969 Jeep CJ5s that are within 100 serial numbers of each other and my dads got a Jeep Scrambler (don’t know the year). We love these cars and we’ve put these Jeeps through hell and back and have the only time we’ve had to repair them is when either my dad flipped his Scrambler five times being reckless because he was seeing how far he could push the jeep and on the fifth time we had to replace the windshield and that’s it, even after he went down a cliff. On my CJ5 we had to weld some angle iron to the front control arm because I hit a rock when my dad was going 80mph through the desert and didn’t see it. That Angle iron has been there since at least the early 90s and was actually stronger. I got the jeep now that I’m able to drive and I’m fixing it up after it’s sat in a field for 20 years. And after that 20 years we put some gas in and it fired right up like it was fresh from the factory. The older versions of Jeep are better than anything coming out today. Edit: My mom has a jeep gladiator. She loves it and she goes on most rides with us but there are some things that she can’t do because of the length of it and the fact that she’s stock. But we go out with a modded Jeep Gladiator and it does a hell of a lot more than you’d actually expect. Really the only thing holding it back by even the smallest bit is the length. But even that is irrelevant if you have a good and smart driver.
Hey Scotty, My 98 Grand Cherokee with a straight six is still running strong 238000 miles. It had a few bugs I had to work out but still going strong. It's a gas pig but the body looks good I'll run it until it dies.
I’ve had 8 Jeeps by now, and they’ve all been nothing but reliable for me. Keep up with maintenance and don’t lift them and they’re absolutely reliable dependable vehicles. Don’t listen to this quack
@@itwasnteveryfloor5038 it’s almost like it’s possible to have multiple Jeeps at one time, project Jeeps, and not keeping Jeeps til the end of their life....
My 2013 JK is at 90k miles zero issues whatsoever other than a tail light bulb. My wife's JK Rubicon had 200k before we needed to dump any money in it.. it needed a new radiator. Small price to pay if it saves us from wheeling in a Toyota FJ
have 8 other vehicles (inclusive of a mustang GT, two SUVs, a VW Alltrack which I treasure, and 4 sedans) by far my Gladiator is my favorite!! Noise? yes, ergonomic nightmare? yes, small for a midsize? yes, looks only a mom can love? yes? absolute blast to drive off road? YES! only truck that can have top and doors off? YES! 50K out the door on fully loaded rubicon (front camera. leather, and everything (except the proximity granny stuff)) - I love it!
I have a 2007 jk motor lasted 180k on 37 inch tires heavy bumpers lift and was never in the shop 1 time besides a recall air bag. Just breaks original alternator. water pump starter everything Was a great car put a LT1 in it now with a 8 speed. So far do good 6 months later
I like my 2002 es300 😁 Did all the struts, end links, sway bar bushings, alternator, throttle body, brakes, fixed the trunk lock, oil change, trans fluid change, coils, plugs, intake gaskets. All by myself. Thanks for the vids Scotty. It'd probably be really cool to chill, have a beer and talk cars with you sir!
My Peugeot 504 station wagon went over 200,000 miles without a problem. The only reason I got rid of it, was Peugeot pull out us market. The best car I ever owned. The dealer in Richmond, Virginia was outstanding.
The earlier 505 rear wheel drive were tough cars . They used them as taxis in a few east African countries for many a year. I owned an 1984 505 for a few years.
This is my second jeep I just bought a 2020 gladiator and I absolutely love this truck had 250000 miles on the first one gave it away and there still driving it,Scotty is wrong my Gladiator is awesome.
Before AMC, Jeep was owned by Kaiser. I know this because I learned to drive in my dad's 1970 Kaiser Jeep Gladiator J-3000, a full-size pickup. It had a Buick 350 V-8, the same 4-speed transmission as heavier-duty Fords, Timken axles, differentials, etc. and a Motorola electrical & ignition system. Sadly, Jeep's build quality was junk even then. Within a few years, everything began to rust badly -- including fasteners, brake lines and frame -- the once-beautiful "President Red" paint turned chalky, and there were always problems with the hydraulic valve lifters in the Buick engine. Other than that, it was a tough truck that handled heavy loads well and pulled like a locomotive.
Hello again Scotty, this video reminds me of the Willys Jeep that my buddy and I put together when I was in high school drove that thing for years and it finally just died on the road somewhere🙌🧰👍🤣🤣🤣🤣😳
I had a 1994 Wrangler and 1999 Cherokee. Both ran well and only my son and granddaughter could tear them up after I gave them to them. I learned to drive in a 1967 Pink Jeep ! It was much better than my 1990s Jeeps. I do have another granddaughter that wants a old Jeep so I will have a project Jeep soon.
I just bought a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with a 3.7 l v6 and that thing was kept in immaculate condition all the maintenance has been kept up on it looks brand new got it for 3,500 they wanted $4,000 but it needs both ball joints replaced that's going to cost me $500 tomorrow so I gave them 3,500 for the vehicle. Also when the downshifts from 3rd to second it has a bump and I figured out what it was the computer needs an update so I'm taking it in to the dealership and paying $130 to have the flash done and install the new updates the rims on this thing are worth over 1500 all the tires are brand new it drives good shifts out smooth I like it so far
Bought my first Jeep in 2013, a 2 door Wrangler which maybe short of the Gladiator is the only Jeep model I would even think about. Fast forward to 2021 and I've had no serious or expensive issues with it and it is driven in Erie, PA, perhaps one of the toughest environments on a vehicle in the country. The biggest plus is it's a vehicle I still like after 8 years, and that's better than owning a vehicle I grew to hate, namely the 2007 Toyota Tacoma I had before that despite washing it regularly had a crusty looking frame after 6 years.

BREAKING NEWS, SCOTTY!
RAV4s (2013-2018) are being investigated by the NHTSA. The problem, most likely caused by poor repairs or servicing, has caused fires and failures...
You taco bell toyota don't come longer as rav4
I enjoy watching you, entertaining and educational
Bought a 2006 civic 140.000 miles...automatic trans....if i dont warm up ...slips a tad bit when taking off....should i be worried?...not sure when filter changed..or should i just make sure warmed up properly till cold weather breaks?
I bought a gladiator. I love it. It's rock solid.
Accept the 2022 Jeep gladiator is universally rated as reliable and low maintenance. Contrary to your fact free rant.
He's rude as hell but thinks it's you who's stupid if you don't share his opinion. Lots watch his videos why I do not know. Can't take anyone serious who goes on a wild rant one day and does a 180 on same vehicle tomorrow. I guess it's all about getting views. With over 6 million subs hes doing something right, in absence of factual information.
A recently married man was in his garage working on his Celica.
His new wife came out and watched him for a few minutes before saying "Now that we are married, you should probably sell that old thing"
Suddenly the mans face went pale and he looked as tho he was going to be sick.
"Are you OK ?, whats the matter" asked his wife.
The man said, "For a moment there you sounded like my Ex-Wife"
"EX-WIFE" the woman shouted, "You never told me you were married before"
"I wasn't" he said.
Bu du Tssssss Classic joke

I got it at the second read hahaha lol that’s was a good one 😂
I have a gladiator Mojave and I don’t have any issues. I love it.
Next Video: If You Buy This 96 Celica You're Smart
Only if you paid $200 for it. Otherwise overpriced junk
Or if you buy this Jeep called 96 Celica You are Smart.
Shouldn’t it be ‘94 Celica?
94
96 is the first year of OBD2 so.. One reason the 96 is better than the 94.
I have a stock 2020 JL Wrangler 2dr Manual for over a year. It has been perfect. Oil changes and tire rotations. That's it. Most trouble free vehicle I've ever owned. Better than my Japanese Subaru Outback.
dude it's brand new lol
@matthewsweitzer4261 I have a rubicon 2013 and it gone in mud almost every weekend 77790 miles on it and it's perfect.
One whole year !!!!!
over a year 😮
I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 high output and love it. Can do all the repairs myself and parts are cheap. 290,000 mi and still going strong.

My wife’s car is a Mazda CX-5 which is a fabulous vehicle. I drive a Jeep JK Wrangler and I love it. I did have to replace the thermostat on my Jeep recently. That cost me $46.00.
I'm still driving my 2000 JEEP TJ Wrangler with 188k on the original 4.0L. Recently had to replace the clutch and water pump but other than basic spark plugs and oil, she still runs great.
Chrysler products are getting so bad in quality that even the Cherokee tribe don't want their name associated with jeep anymore.
😂
Hilarious 😆
That's right we don't lol
😄😄😄👍
Well damn lmao😂😂😂😂
But you literally just made a video going on about how you like the Gladiator with the V6 and 8 speed auto. Damn it Scotty!!! I love my 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon!!! Has 2K miles on it and runs like a dream!
Late 90' through early 2000's with the straight 4.0L 6 cylinder is pretty reliable.
Bullet proof baby lol
Exactly my 01 cherokee has 192k and still going strong
2003 TJ with 187K. Still runs great!
This was never supposed to happen. They made some mistakes around year 2000, and some Jeeps came out more reliable than the leadership had pointed out. People got fired, there were reorganizations, and they after some time came back on track developing cars that not would last that long. Everyone can make mistakes.

I guess I’m a lucky guy... I’m over 60 and have owned Jeeps my whole life. Mostly Wranglers...but some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Cherokees too. I take care of my vehicles and never miss servicing or oil changes, and air filters. I also keep them as clean as possible, both as a hobby and so I can notice any strange leaks or fluids. I’ve never had SERIOUS issues with any of these Jeeps. V8’s, V6’s...no troubles. Don’t get me wrong, I do agree there are times when FCA released products too soon. The 9 speed transmission originally was released before the software was ready.But, even so, you can keep your vehicles running pretty good if you just pay attention. If I am one lucky guy...I’m real lucky. Because Ive owned almost everything Jeep has made...except 4 cylinders (although I like the 2.0 Hybrid/Generator motor). No troubles...know on wood.
I agree the 9 speed ZF tunning was not much fun specifically the 2 dog clutch shift points, but it was pretty bad in Hondas too, I've heard it's much better in latest models
Same here. Some folks just ain’t made to own Jeeps
Jeeps may have gone downhill but I got a 16 Cherokee and I REALLY like how rugged it is compared to any other SUV I've seen. The rubber mats are so easy to clean, the interior looks great, and the only problem mine has is the shift lights get confused and it throws a "shifter service" warning, but it drives and shifts just fine.. it's literally just the lights lol
That said, nothing about the new cherokee's scream off road to me. It's just a typical SUV with a few nice touches on the interior.
I will literally save up like 20 Scotty videos until I have a 2 hour drive and then knock them all out. The best talk radio ever. I'm a former military mechanic, and I love listening to his intel and perspective on things.
I like to pretend Scotty is the reincarnation of Ray and Tom Car Talk
Mostly biased
Speaking of 70's Jeeps, I bought a new one(AMC)in '74. I really loved that old thing but it was not a quality vehicle or one you could depend on. Kept it for 12 years but had to replace many parts on it over the years. Sure was fun in the snow though.
97 to 2001 Wrangler TJ
97 to 2001 Cherokee
Both will run forever
Have the bulletproof 4.0
Just find one with roll up windows or half doors.
87% of Jeeps ever made are still on the road to this date. Which means 13% made it home.
GENIUS!😂😂
The Jeep you bought won't last a year.
Not if you really love your Jeep, anyway.

I have owned a number of vehicles in my 62 years of life and all have been 4x4 vehicles, I have owned Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota and Jeeps. I perform all the maintenance you are supposed to. I have never had a mechanical issue with any of my Jeeps and I use them hard offroad (from the Everglades to Alaska) and put a lot of miles on them (typically 100k plus in the first few years, I travel a lot). Sure they drive like a brick on highways, but once offroad, there is not a modern vehicle that comes close to a modern Jeep. As for warranties, well, I purchased a 2023 JTR (Gladiator Rubicon) last week and it came with a lifetime warranty on both motor and drivetrain as long as I do not modifiy them without MOPAR parts and do regular oil/fluid changes as you are supposed to. Jeep knows people will be modifying many aspects of their Jeep and they do not void warranties for most modifications. There simply is not a modern vehicle that will perform offroad like either a Wrangler of Gladiator with the Rubicon trim (well, maybe the Mojave if you are into Desert racing).
I literally just bought my first Jeep today. It is a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and my daughter bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4x4 that was fully loaded. Hopefully we have better luck with ours.
Good to hear, hope you enjoy your new Jeep 👍🏼
Dude I have the same jeep. How is it doing so far?
@@mikesmnell414, absolutely amazing! I am totally loving it and will always be a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon owner from here on out. I’ve wanted a Rubicon since they came out with the TJ’s I think it was? I almost bought a 2007 JK Unlimited Rubicon but things fell through. But now, I am happy to finally be the owner of one, with many more to come.
@@j.r.777 That’s good to hear. Honestly a lot of what people have been saying about Jeeps had me really worried about my choice and I seeing people with good experiences and good reports about the new Jeeps puts me at ease. Honestly it’s so hard to find positive reviews about Jeeps except for the people who drive them.
@@mikesmnell414 I’ve owned my wrangler for 8 years as of next month. It’s been great and LOADS of fun. I’ve had two things break in that time. One radiator hose clamp ($2 to fix) and the rear windshield washer mechanism has a leak. I should probably buy a new one for like $75, but “eh”. Also, I’m about ready for my 3rd windshield but those are free through insurance. Other than that it’s been completely trouble free. I also just upgraded the shocks, springs, wheels, tires, brake pads and rotors. It’s even better now! And it’s resale value is insanely high.
I've owned and still own Jeeps....never had any issues with mine. Of course I never played bulldozer or submarine either. My Gladiator does everything I ask of it with no problems. So that's my 2 cents.
Wranglers if maintained well hold their value like no other. All depends on how much you abuse your rig.
They really do its nuts. If youre buying a jeep might as well buy new because of this
@@gbmay16 Thats why me and and my wife got new in 2015. No problem with used in general but the difference was so minimal there wasnt much of a point.

He’s not wrong. I own a Jeep Mojave 2021. I’ve had to have the valve body and driveline assembly replaced. The hardest part is dealing with STAR warranty service. They don’t want to take on responsibility for solving “the” problem. They want to solve ”a” problem. So it’s been too many visits to get the actual problem fixed.
All that said, I still have a love/love relationship with my Jeep. If this hadn’t been a warranty repair I would have just fixed it myself since Jeeps are pretty easy to work on and fix anyway.
I live in Alaska and a lot of people have Gladiators, they are actually quite great from what the owners tell me. Not really a good place for cars where I live. Gotta have skid plates to survive the winter around here lol. I drive a really ancient chevy 1500 tho haha, the old ones are built like tanks. Love your channel Scotti!! 🏁

I've seen videos where he says Jeeps are great vehicles. Sounds like his brain is rotted out from something. Money hungry for sure
I have owned many new cars/ suvs. My 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland is the BEST vehicle I have ever owned and love it
Most Jeep buyers know of the reliability issues .Knowing of the Endless upgrades availability. More than any vehicle on Earth. What they want is the platform. Easy to work on, width and weight. The personal cars this man owns is proof his opinion is as trustworthy as gas station sushi.
I have an 82 CJ, I love it. Gets in the lower 20's milage. Been the toughest, most dependable vehicle I have ever owned.
Had a 79 cj7 with a fiberglass body and a new 2x4 channel steel frame. Traded it for an 85 vmax. Should have kept the jeep.
I actually had a 92 jeep cherokee with the 4.0l straight 6, at the time I owned it it was pretty old but it had 120k mls on it and I drove 130 mls each day commute, and I did not keep up with the maintenance like ever, but it still lasted, it was a tank! Great motor!
It was built under Mercedes and Chrysler era. Those will last. After that era good luck
Planning on buying one of these because I like the looks. Working at a auto shop has its perks gonna try and fix as many issue early on once I get mine
Scotty, on the Chrysler comments. Parents bought a brand new ram truck back in 06-07 Transmission gave out before 50k mikes. Right during the recession. Under warranty and everything, dodge said basically “f*** off you were missing one oil change receipt”. Do not give that company a dime.
I hear so much controversy on jeep wrangler/gladiator, people saying it horrible and people saying its the most reliable vehicle.....confusing
After one week, Scotty will say:
Jeep Gladiator just changed the game.
Got 9k on a Gladiator and BY FAR the best truck-SUV I’ve had since my 1980 Toyota 4x4 that rusted out in 5 years. Rides smooth and with a dependable pentastar engine. Great tech and ergonomics verses antiquidated Toyota etc. I love Scotties sound old tech mech but he’s behind the times with modern vehicles.

Love My Gladiator, most fun truck ive owned, no problems or worries 3 yrs of offroading and road trips. I still look back at it while walking away at the parking lot.
My 2017 Renegade 4x4 (with German transmission) has 75,000 miles on it and has been awesome! And I'm pretty hard on it.
I have 3 Jeep’s. 1948, 2008 wrangler and a 2021 gladiator. My 48 gives me the most hell
My wife has a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited and I just bought a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon diesel. We are very happy with them.
Personal choice as it has always been.
I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with the 3.8 v6 and have kept it all stock. The only major work I’ve had done is rebuilding the front end at 171,000 miles. It sips a little oil but it doesn’t give me any trouble. Of course, I maintain it very well.
Yes, manual transmission will always keep you happy.
I bought a 1976 Jeep Renegade CJ5 brand new with the 304 V8. It didn't get good fuel mileage and the on road ride was pretty bad buy it was pretty much bullet proof. I kept it for 8 years and punished the s... out of it. I changed the oil around every 3000 miles, I put 1 battery in it, did the brakes once, replaced the tires once, replaced both headlights ( they didn't like the bouncing off road) and that's it. I actually drove it to work for 3 weeks with a dead battery. One of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned.
I've seen a lot of these Gladiators and they are ugly.
Ive noticed that also.
They look so awkward
Yes
It's all personal taste, I personally love a Gladiator on 37s
you think so? I think they're pretty cool. it doesn't look any different than a rubicon other than it has a pick up bed.
It looks like a robot
I bought my first Jeep Wrangler in 2020. I’ve owned 50 cars, and many of them were/are Toyota’s. I bought it for two reasons. First, until the Bronco, it was the only car where you can take off doors, the top and the windshield. Second, it retains 70% of its value over 5 years - more than any other car (including my 4RUNNER). The biggest cost of a new car is depreciation, so the Jeep over five years will likely cost less than most other cars. Having said that, I did purchase an extended warranty.
Well, I love my Wrangler.... I put over 120,000 miles on the last one I had (2010) and same on the one before that.... No major problems with any of them. I hope this newer one holds up as well as the other 2 did.
120,000 miles today on any vehicle is nothing. I've got 286'000 on my 04 Kia Rio with just regular maintenance.
My friend just replaced engine in Hyundai Sonata with 50k milles. In warranty, good for him... and besides that Kias don't ride where Wranglers go, it could have been just payment Rider but if not it makes dramatic difference
120k 😂 that’s basically brand new on a Toyota!
Those are rookie numbers.
I own a 06 jeep commander v6 with 250k miles on it running like a champ. Ive recently purchased a 2021 jeep gladiator high altitude and i absolutely love it. Has 18k miles and ive owned it since new. Its definitely a head turner. Every car will require repairs to maintain since parts are designed to fail after so many miles. This is how car manufactures continue to make money.
I bought my 2020 JT Rubicon in November of 2019. It’s got a vibration and a slight rough idle when stopping at lights, but as annoying as it is, I enjoy it. Someday I’ll rip it all out and install a V-8. Never selling it.
Settling for garbage at 50k plus 🤣 cmon man
@@justinsalazar9070 To each their own. I didn’t settle for anything. I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years and it’s done everything I needed of it; especially in the Minnesota winters or off roading in the mud and light rock crawling. I would have bought a Toyota Corolla if all I wanted was transportation and reliability.

I've owned 34 cars with 7 of them Jeeps. All of them have been very reliable. The one that required attention was a YJ that was a mess when I bought it. Took the time to fix it properly since the previous owner only put gas in it and that's it. That was in 2017. Now six years later I will be replacing the tie rods, lower steering column and upper steering shaft bearing. After 166,000 miles it is only natural that those items would wear out. Engine has been pretty solid. Had a 2013 Grand Cherokee for 10 years and the only problem was the oil pressure sensor which I fixed myself. Heck the OEM battery lasted 8 full years.

Hey Scotty we all know that you are not a jeep fan but every now and then a good one gets through...I own since new a 2004 jeep liberty that has never seen the inside of a shop ever. I have only ever replaced batteries and tires even the coolant is factory original! I have towed everything under the sun with this little jeep and it has never let me down. The assembly line must have a good week when they built it!
Jeep Gladiator owner here and my 5th Jeep in my life. All been solid over the last 17 years of my driving life. My Gladiator is an unbelievable vehicle with car like mpg and 442lbft of torque. Anyways Scott I dont disagree about the little Jeeps but leave Wrangler and Gladiators out of it. Those two vehicles are legitimately the only true off road vehicles left on the road.

The old 225 Dauntless V-6 (actually the 225 Buick engine) was great on fuel economy. I also had a 1984 CJ-7 that I installed a 1964 Dodge WW Stromberg carburetor on with the five speed manual and original 2.72 gears with the 4.2 inline six and it did 24 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG around town. Idle RPM was set at 500. This was in the 1990,s and the person I sold it to is still driving several days a week. If you can’t leave it out in the rain without the top it’s not a Jeep.
Hey! why does everyone need to kick Jeep? Wranglers are the most competent off road vehicle you can buy that can also be daily driven AND not cost a mint.(relatively) They don't get good mileage.Stuff breaks on them. IT"S A JEEP THING.
Jeeps are a easy target because we don't have a lot of the, my "canadian" ford is better than your "mexico" chevy....no no my chop stick brand of choice is better.... Real Jeep people just love our jeeps and don't really care about what other people drive. When we pass them stuck in a puddle we will just pull them out with a smile.
My grandfather and I got two 1969 Jeep CJ5s that are within 100 serial numbers of each other and my dads got a Jeep Scrambler (don’t know the year). We love these cars and we’ve put these Jeeps through hell and back and have the only time we’ve had to repair them is when either my dad flipped his Scrambler five times being reckless because he was seeing how far he could push the jeep and on the fifth time we had to replace the windshield and that’s it, even after he went down a cliff. On my CJ5 we had to weld some angle iron to the front control arm because I hit a rock when my dad was going 80mph through the desert and didn’t see it. That Angle iron has been there since at least the early 90s and was actually stronger. I got the jeep now that I’m able to drive and I’m fixing it up after it’s sat in a field for 20 years. And after that 20 years we put some gas in and it fired right up like it was fresh from the factory. The older versions of Jeep are better than anything coming out today.
Edit: My mom has a jeep gladiator. She loves it and she goes on most rides with us but there are some things that she can’t do because of the length of it and the fact that she’s stock. But we go out with a modded Jeep Gladiator and it does a hell of a lot more than you’d actually expect. Really the only thing holding it back by even the smallest bit is the length. But even that is irrelevant if you have a good and smart driver.
Hey Scotty, My 98 Grand Cherokee with a straight six is still running strong 238000 miles. It had a few bugs I had to work out but still going strong. It's a gas pig but the body looks good I'll run it until it dies.
That's why a lot of companies dropped the straight six, it was too reliable.

Before AMC, Jeep was owned by Kaiser. I know this because I learned to drive in my dad's 1970 Kaiser Jeep Gladiator J-3000, a full-size pickup. It had a Buick 350 V-8, the same 4-speed transmission as heavier-duty Fords, Timken axles, differentials, etc. and a Motorola electrical & ignition system. Sadly, Jeep's build quality was junk even then. Within a few years, everything began to rust badly -- including fasteners, brake lines and frame -- the once-beautiful "President Red" paint turned chalky, and there were always problems with the hydraulic valve lifters in the Buick engine. Other than that, it was a tough truck that handled heavy loads well and pulled like a locomotive.

Also when the downshifts from 3rd to second it has a bump and I figured out what it was the computer needs an update so I'm taking it in to the dealership and paying $130 to have the flash done and install the new updates the rims on this thing are worth over 1500 all the tires are brand new it drives good shifts out smooth I like it so far
Bought my first Jeep in 2013, a 2 door Wrangler which maybe short of the Gladiator is the only Jeep model I would even think about. Fast forward to 2021 and I've had no serious or expensive issues with it and it is driven in Erie, PA, perhaps one of the toughest environments on a vehicle in the country. The biggest plus is it's a vehicle I still like after 8 years, and that's better than owning a vehicle I grew to hate, namely the 2007 Toyota Tacoma I had before that despite washing it regularly had a crusty looking frame after 6 years.
