I know a lot of people hate on new Models when they come out, but let me tell ya my JL Rubicon is way more than my JK ever was. I also have a CJ, which is another league, but for an everyday vehicle, and one that I off road in it's pretty amazing. Way more capable than any previous Wrangler before it too.

Jeeps arent for everyone but once you have one its hard to go back to a normal automobile full time when you really see what they can do. If you frequently drive on rough terrain, love to off road or even if you live somewhere where theres tons of snow and crumbling infrastructure its an ideal "get through anything" vehicle to have while being able to cruise with the top off in the summer. Not many vehicles can do all of that. Im a jeep owner (on my second jeep wrangler now and will probably buy another when its advantageous to) but Just wanted to stop and say good job with this review!

Although I really want a Diesel rubicon, I have my doubts about it's practicality. One of the best features I've used going offroad on steep descents is the gasoline engine's vacuum when on 4 low allowing the vehicle to come down on it's own without the use of brakes. Diesel engines have nothing between the air intake and the cylinders, so vacuum has to be applied via a jake brake when needed, and even then jake brakes only affect half of the cylinders, and usually only do it's work at higher RPMs. But sure, the advantage of running diesel among other thing is that if you crash and flip upside down, and pierced the gas tank, it won't be highly volatile gasoline dripping on you and your friends, it'll be oily sticky diesel that'll make your clothes stink.

My JK vs JL comparison (for me, a black 2-door Rubicon with tan soft top) My JL pros -possibly the new 2.0 engine (I also like the Pentastar) -8 speed transmission (much better than JK transmission) -quicker throttle response -soft top without ‘cross bar’ -soft top no zippers -quieter soft top -body color roll bar -flat horizontal dash -lighter/aerodynamic tweaks = better MPG -real metal interior detail -real hardware (not faux bolts) interior -more inputs and other interior conveniences -air vents for cooling under hood -more rake in windshield (think rock damage) -doors stay opened, and close better -cabin is slightly longer -doors remove easier/faster -telescopic adjusting steering wheel -bigger storage tub -stronger and lighter tailgate -better hood latches -easier drain plug access (without needing to move carpet) -larger cup holders My JL cons -auto start/stop (I’m not sure how to disable it) -the faux vents on hood -the bumpers (front and back) -front running lights on fender flare -too much digital visual “noise” on dash (me like simple) -rear camera (I know I can take it off - and I will when I remove spare and relocate license plate) -no hard drive in radio to store music (I like that in the 430 in JK) -smaller glove compartment

Can't say they are overpriced, as they can't make enough of them; but the $10k premium over a zr2 (that can tow and haul more things) lends itself too close to a raptor for me to want. I freakin love the JL, but it keeps getting more expensive and, well, I don't need to rock crawl. The zr2 and raptor both have auto 4wd systems for added versatility, like the Sahara, and can lock the rear axle in 2wd.

Great real life review Auto Academics. My good friend's boyfriend has a Rubicon with a lift package and brush guards. I don't know how Bree (my friend) gets in/out of that thing in a dress without showing ALL her business. I'm a girlie girl who drives European cars but there is something about this Jeep that is really HOT! I can't believe he paid $50k for that but it is a very capable vehicle. One time I asked to tag along with him to this offroad course in West Virginia that he frequents. It was amazing watching him in action. He's really good at handling the most difficult rated course. I'm just glad that he talked me out of taking my Autobiography out on the course. I saw a couple of dented frames. 😞

You're correct, Raymond jones. All cars are getting expensive and it could be argued that vehicles such as this (and your) Rubicon, with the specialty equipment installed, are worth every penny.

What was your overall verdict? I’m looking at using a wrangler for occasional commuting and 7-10 hour drives from Atlanta, may need to do some towing about 2k lbs
@AutoAcademics6 жыл бұрын
As you know, gghostrrider, practically EVERYONE drives a Wrangler in the Atlanta area, but we think the Rubicon may be a bit hardcore for 7-10 hour drives. The ride is smooth and relatively quiet, but there's a bit more movement in the steering and suspension than we prefer for long highway duty. If you take one out for a test drive, you'll notice what we're referring to almost immediately, as it took Chris a day or so to get used to it. A lot of that was due to the suspension tuning and 33" tires. For shorter commutes or a 2nd (or 3rd) vehicle, it would be great. If you don't think that will bother you, then you'll be fine and it will definitely tow that 2000 lbs with ease. The Unlimited would add a bit more practicality to the vehicle with the additional rear doors. It was challenging for small kids to climb in back. Chris said if his stable were big enough and money were no object, he'd buy one in a second. Unfortunately for him, it isn't. Hope this helps!

Kids? My daughters grew up in my '98. Pre Unlimited 4 doors. This is why you get a soft top. Put car seats in and forget about it until they get too big for them. Otherwise, pick em up, drop em in from the back of the jeep, buckle em up and watch them smile all the way to the destination.

AutoAcademics no problem. Only a question: how much fast is on acceleration?
@AutoAcademics6 жыл бұрын
The 2018 automatic with the 3.6L reaches 60 mph in about 6.9 seconds, however, acceleration is something that Chris was not impressed with on our manual Rubicon tester. It definitely did not feel like sub-7 seconds. The first 2 or 3 gears are very short, not allowing for much speed to be gained, and 5th and 6th gears were very tall, presumably for fuel economy, but requiring us to shift down to 4th if we wanted to pass anything on the highway. We hope this helps, Ms89giogio.

Wrangler is still a no frills vehicle... all the options are standard on most cars and then some :) You are buying the brand/experience.. what the apple guys would say to justify their prices.

I’m sorry. I thought you said 47k for a 2 door rubicon now days?
@AutoAcademics6 жыл бұрын
Sure did, Bradley Beyer. But everything's expensive nowadays and this is a really good off-road performance-focused vehicle. Once we likened it to Ford Raptors and Camaro ZL-1s, it's price began to make more sense. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!

I was doing Jeeps for years, then.......I discovered Toyota 4Runner and never looked back. It's bullet proof and will out live any Jeep.
@AStanton19666 жыл бұрын
You definitely got to respect the full frame a 4Runner gives you. Now if only Toyota would figure out how to put a factory remote start in their vehicles.

John - Is demand that high or are they having assembly line/supplies issues? I know that generally speaking the JL is getting very good reviews. Except those damn lights on the fenders :)

Hopefully, they won't, Golden Retriever. Right now it seems Jeep is still in the mindset of expanding the lineup with the new pickup arriving shortly, but only time will tell.
