I just want to say thanks for the review. I have worked building the jeep since 2014 and by 2016 i bought my first new car same model everything just black. I have loved it everyday since. The price here in Toledo was about 54k after everything but that discount also helped lol. Yes its a total different ride I have owned cameros, trans ams, dakotas, blazers, and other cars. But one thing you didnt mention is the safety factor I feel so safe riding in it. And because I work for Jeep I have seen alot of photos and thanks from people that have been in accidents and even rolled over multiple times and walked away with barely a scratch.

I just bought one but with a 6-speed manual. Love it. Better off-road than on road. Why is this already for sale?

Let me get this straight, the wrangler is good because it’s bad? it’s fun to drive because it drives terribly? That sounds kinda awesome.

The best accessory I got was a topliftoro. Makes taking the hard top off an easy one man job.

Forgot to add - panel carry to help with the doors. Available at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Original use is to carry drywall.

i have a 2dr jeep. everything topher said is true. it drives terrible but it makes it a much more engaged driving experiance. u have to wrangle the wrangler. it makes you feel very accomplished

About wrangler experience, I want to buy a wrangler JL v6 or l4, but also I choose between bronco or wrangler. I want to take the car to the mountains(not the rock climb), but to get to the mountains, i need to drive to them around 50-70 miles to the closest, and 200+ miles to far ones. What should i get?

@braydenbreen9467 28 күн бұрын

@@aminfeed8211 bronco will ride better on the road due to IFS so if on road is more your focus then the bronco will be the more comfortable option.

@@braydenbreen9467 thanks for the reply, don't get me wrong, having little discomfort is not a big deal(just wanted to ask about it, cause many people refer to death wobble on the wrangler on the highways), cause mountains in my country are muddy, dusty and have some extreme conditions. I have a personnel preference to bronco due to owning a mustang, but still i want to give a wrangler a look too, the offroad capabilities are essential here.

My best friend has a 2021 JL Wrangler Sahara. It’s a 6 speed manual and lifted 3 or 4 inches riding on 34s. Recently installed a cold air intake and it sounds great. Has 43k miles and no issues yet. We’ve done some pretty fun off road trails and it’s unstoppable. Drove it in downtown manhattan which was fun. Gets about 19 mpg on the highway and 13 in the city. She traded her MK7 Golf in for it. It’s really made me love the wranglers. It really doesn’t drive as bad as people say. I’d take one over a bronco and 4Runner all day longggg.

I agree I don’t understand why people say the bronco drives so much better. . I think the wrangler is way less sloppy

How much was this new in 2016 & how much did you get it used ? You should give original & used prices when reviewing used car prices

@rileypart1 28 күн бұрын

When these were new it’s $43,485 and when comes to used it’s some where between $26k-$33k depends on the miles

@EndeavorsDnB 27 күн бұрын

If u watch the video, the Jeep isn’t Topher’s it’s “Tom’s” who is in the vehicle with Topher during the review. Used prices vary quite significantly from shop to shop so giving a used car’s price isn’t that helpful for anyone.

@@EndeavorsDnB Tom is right there He could have said how much he bought it for & when he bought it & how many miles did it have Ofcourse prices vary based on condition & miles and lesser degree location & dealership you bought it from

I wish you could drive my 2020 Gladiator… 38’s and 3.5” lift… I’ve replaced and upgraded a lot of components to make the driving exceptional for a jeep.
