Jeeps are great for the purpose for which they are built. The only problem I have with them is how over-inflated their costs have gotten. It's ridiculous.

True Minimalist I love mine. But for the same price I could of gotten a used newer Porsche. But a Porsche can't climb mountains or tow a small trailer or carry a fair amount of cargo. It's all in what you want I guess. If you want a cheap off-roader. Look at older jeeps, toyotas and so on. Even new toyotas are insanely priced.

So look at it like this, over inflated yes I agree. However, they hold their value like no other American made car Period. they are an investment. I bout a 2012 4 door JK for 28,000 I traded for a 2017 ruby I got 20 k for my vehicle with 109 k on mileage so the cost for my new jeep is significantly reduced. so inflated yes but its bad ass.

My dad has been a truck driver since the 80s so when it comes to buying cars I ask my dad since he sees which cars are unreliable (depending on how many times he has to tow certain makes and models). I asked him about jeep wranglers and he says he almost never has to tow one or ever get called to pick one up. according to him they are pretty good. he has a huge sample size and has no bias lol.

I drove Jeeps for 6 years and really enjoy the versatility of the Jeep. My first was a ‘12 JK & now a ‘17 JKU. Been my daily driver and has been very reliable. The 3.6 has lots of power for a Jk or JKU. It’s not a sports car and not built for a comfortable ride. It’s a Jeep. I bought it because it’s a great ride year round. Top down in the summer or running snowy roads in the winter. We get both in WV. Basically people don’t buy them for speed, comfort, or gas mileage. They buy it for the versatility & best off road vehicle (or on road) on the market.

Wife didn't like the cozy quarters of the JK so, she didn't ride with me much. :) I'd sell my current F250 if, the new Commander, could pull my camper.

I have a 2007 JK - and this is the MOST reliable vehicle I've owned so far. I use it on and offroad in stock condition. With regular oil changes, tires, and brakes I have had ZERO maintenance issues and just crossed 120k miles this past weekend. If you want an American classic for offroad use and onroad style, buy in! JEEP IS GOLD. Resale is always high, they retain value forever, so you can always get some money out and upgrade to a newer model with additional investment. Plus, for hobbyists, they endless accessory stream for Wranglers is a natural. The JEEP is customizable as both a daily driver and an offroad monster.

As a proud and very happy Jeep Wrangler owner I think a video like this is long overdue. Before I bought my Wrangler I told my mechanic (a rather experienced mechanic at that) that I was buying one. His response was that I was making a smart choice because they harldly ever break and when they do they are relatively easy to work on. Cheers TFL

2013 JK owner here, problems I have... 1-Replaced starter twice at 40k miles. Second starter was cheap AutoZone so it failed right away. 2-electronic sway bar disconnect stopped working. Water got inside it. Replaced it with anti rock. Much happier with the Anti Rock. 3- windshield wipers turn on randomly. Can't figure out why but I have reason to believe the electrical system isn't that great. As far as comfort and refinement I love the JK. Seats on the Rubicon are so soft. On my 2017 RAM my ass hurts from sitting too muc long. My Jk has a basic Bluetooth and honestly that's all the amenities I need to be refined

Juan Uribe you have a loose ground. Probably on the passenger side of the engine bay, about halfway between air cleaner and the battery. Might not be that one but I think it is. Tighten it down and check your other grounding points as well. Stiff suspension can cause these to loosen.

I didn't buy it for a comfy ride and fancy interior, I bought it because it is like a truck and the interior is basic and the seats are comfy, no clue why people complain about them. I am 6'2" tall and weigh 280 pounds and I fit in it comfortably. I also like that the back seat can simply be removed.

2008 #DDWranger with over 170,000 miles. No reliability issues other than what I would consider typical wear and tear. Definitely not the most refined vehicle to drive but I LOVE being able to drop the top during the summer and drive through blizzards during the winter on my long daily commute. Not gonna lie and say it is a perfect vehicle though. Defrost and windshield washer cover the middle of the windshield but don't get the driver side particularly well. Consumes oil so it needs to be topped off periodically. Door hinges corrode causing the doors to stick, paint to peel and water streaks below. Not sure if these issues have been fixed in newer models. Hopefully when the next Wrangler redesign happens things like this will not be an issue.

Just one more thing. No matter what you own even if you have never had a problem with yours. Someone else has had a problem with the same make and model. Everything can be beat down and bad mouthed. I believe that if you treat your vehicles like it were a woman. Meaning take care of it and dont neglect it, it will serve you well. I'm no spring chicken. I bought a new 72 Toyota Land Cruiser in 1972. They gave me crap about buying it and said it would never last. Well it served me well until a couple of years ago when some guy offered me 15 times what I paid for it new. Take care of your stuff and they will last. Now if some guy would offer me 15 times what I have put into the wife she would be gone too.

I take real good care of mine. I repair/replace between fill-ups, and leave it parked in the garage when it's not in the shop. I always admired others for keeping their little treasure parked most of the time and realized only after I bought my own that you cannot drive them because of death-wobble, from overheated brakes to worn axles to a number of things, and gets maybe 13 mpg if even running. I have other vehicles to drive so JK can rest there in the garage till I find someone stupid enough to pay it off for me.

I've owned forty motor vehicles since the '70s, typically several at a time. My '13 Wrangler 6MT 2 dr hardtop is the first Jeep I've owned and it's easily in my top five favorite vehicles out of the forty. I've taken it on hiking and camping trips all over the West and it's my go-to daily driver (I don't have to commute for work). It's had zero problems so far in 56k miles. It's unlifted with 285/70R17 (33") BFG AT/TA's, which is a great combo for driving either on or off road up to and including sustained freeway speeds, and the 6MT makes it fun to drive. It's the perfect combo for what I use it for, which is mostly on road but with some hilly, sandy trails with occasional wash-outs thrown in.

Sure you can tow in your prius, but you will see more wear , more poor performance

I love the concept of the jeep, the looks, but does it need to have such a cheap interior at that price? Dont get me wrong, im all for simplicity and utility, but it could be very high quality and still very simple and rugged. But I know jeeps fans will be offended by this comment but it just seems like a large part of the price is related to the branding and image more than bulletproof reliability which is not to say that many customers might have trouble free jeeps. Just seems like they are charging premium for basics.

One of the best selling SUVS, actually top 10 to be precise, this vehicle is so customizable, to the point you can litterally put your own spin and personality into it, reliability it owns it, that's why people have made "The Jk", jeep life almost like a religion and lifestyle, I mean look up JK Experience for a good example, The Wrangler is, simplistic at its natural core but, that allows for so much more than you realize, like feeling like your apart of the environment your driving in, whether it's out on the sandy beaches, rock crawling in the Rockies or mud bogging in the south east, JEEP or JEEPING is a way of life and a lifestyle all together, those who own these vehicles enjoy them more than most vehicles on the road, it's just a Jeep thing and only jeep owners will ever understand that.

I've owned an 1988, 1992, 2002 and now a 2012 Wrangler and driven them all as my daily driver. Total mileage around 300,000. This started in Ohio and now happens in New Mexico. The only time I have been without my Jeep in almost 30 years due to Maintenance issues was when I blew the engine crossing a deep section of a stream without a snorkel during a flood,. I stupidly tried to move too fast and pushed water into the intake.... The jeep would have done fine if I had had better 4-wheel driving skills. If yo want a Corolla, buy a Corolla. If you want to have fun in an amazing ride that will take you (almost) anywhere , buy a Jeep! I'm planning to buy another in 2022!

I am the proud owner of a 2018 f250xlt, my wife owns a 2018 jk unlimited. It’s a chief blue model, loaded. It’s her daily driver, and she loves it. I must admit, I also love it. It puts a smile on my face, every time I get the chance to drive it. I think it’s better in city driving than it gets credit for. My wife is 5’0 tall, she loves it for shopping, she finds it easy to park, due to how well she can see. We are Canadian, my wife looks forward to snow now. That is where this vehicle shines brightest, bad road conditions. I have more confidence in that 4door Jeep, than in my f250, or my Bobcat, in a snowstorm. I push snow for part of my living, I am a decent driver, in an emergency it’s the wrangler for me. Love the channel guys!

Well, I have a 2017 JK very basic model and I love it. My principal vehicle is a Dodge RAM 1500 Longhorn so the contrast in equipment and comfort is night and day. I have used the Jeep to commute to the city a good 110km each way. Yes it is basic, but that is one of the reasons I love it. My wife hates it, which is quite funny actually as she once had a convertible Mini which is not exactly comfort driving!! I have hesitated to do upgrades because I like the base look but watching your channel I would like to change the front bumper to one like your grey JK, with the fog lights and winch. The two major upgrades I have done....I installed a new Alpine sound system with a touch screen and Apple Carplay which was a real game changer; secondly, I bought a hard top in a scrap yard and installed it. The latter was quite a challenge. One of the downsides of driving the Jeep in the winter on crazy Montreal area winter roads, was the soft top. The windows were always filthy and difficult to clean without scratching the plastic, they were actually a danger. So I found a nice hard top for $1700 Cdn but I wrongly assumed that the wiring and wiper kit would be installed in all Jeeps so facilitate this upgrade. It took a Jeep dealer 13 hours to install the kit, they had to remove the steering wheel and dash to get it done, big job. The hard top has solved all the issues I had with winter driving and I am even more attached to the vehicle now. So thinking about new bumper, wheels/tires and small lift to make it mine. I am keeping the step rails despite the fact that purists hate them, they are great in parking lots when people want to ding your doors!! I wish I had AC but that was a crazy project to undertake so I gave up on it. Would have been more economical to just trade it in for one that had that option. All summer no doors and no roof for me, love it. I take the back seat out and put my dogs in the back with car leashes attached to the seat anchors, they love it too! My wife is a work in progress with respect to the Jeep, but on a hot summer day with the roof and doors off....she won’t say it, but I know she likes it. Things that would really improve the design of this vehicle as a daily driver would include an all wheel drive option, this would make it safer and more practical on winter roads at speed. Better/more storage could easily be incorporated and that would add value as well. Maybe I will drive it Colorado and have you guys do my upgrades for me after this pandemic is over, make a video on the “Upgrade of the Canadian JK the Wife Hates!”, that might be fun viewing!! Might be a nice way to get rid of the cabin fever that is setting in all over. I live in a small town near the Vermont border in a region of Quebec that has become the epicenter of the pandemic here because snowbirds coming back from Florida refused to self isolate as required. So locked up and safe, but dreaming Jeeps!! Stay healthy and keep doing these great videos.

On road performance is blah, but with the available aftermarket parts, even that can be fixed.... You want 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds, the aftermarket will help you put a HEMI or an LSX in it. You want soft ride? Aftermarket has you covered. You want cornering like it's on rails... um... It can go offroad!

I had a 2014 jk , had awesome time with that car. Saying that I lost my jk in 1 hell of river crossing . I used the winch to recover but water was inside the engine already. Probably was my own fault . The water some how got in from exhaust . Never mind, the car was making a huge noise after across and didn’t left me down. I drove about 150km until get safely home. Never forgot that . I’m still considering a very nice car . And I’m looking for buying the 2019 model here in Australia. Cars are not perfect, machines will break eventually. Problem is people think that they are perfect drivers out there. And it’s hard to admit their own mistakes. I have no problem to say that I forgot to keep up the RPM . Simple mistake , insurance help me a lot . Be safe everyone , and keep up with 4x4 . It’s a good family time . Cheers 🍻

As an 2010 JKU owner that I bought new I can say this: Pros, even in stock non rubicon form it is a highly off-road capable vehicle and minor modifications will vastly improve on that capability and still remain with a reasonable ride comfort. Good aftermarket mod parts support by now allowing to customize/personalize your Jeep to give it a unique look. It can take a beating and until now it never left me stranded or had to get towed. Now to the cons, brand new a steering column selector switch didn't work and needed replacement, an aerodynamic brick with poor gas milage, auto transmission (4 speed RLE42) overheating at around 10K during a milk-run off-road tour in the mountains, it didn't burn down but it likely caused damage to the transmission shortening its life span, various water leaks on either soft-top or hard top, several annoying squeaks and rattles early on but @30k Jeep got slightly lifted (2.5") and 35" Toyo Open Country MTs installed so the squeaks and rattles are of no importance from then on. Also added and additional trans fluid cooler to combat transmission overheating which keeps reoccurring. At 45K Power steering pump shaft seal leak just out of warranty requiring new pump. Water pump shaft seal leaks and replacement at about 50 and 100K . Clock-spring failure at around 80K with no warranty here. Transmission shift solenoid failure with limp mode and 2-4 clutch burned at 120K requiring transmission rebuild (damage from early overheating?!), three occasions i do not remember at which mileage they happened where the CanBus freaked out with instrument cluster going nuts and not allowing the trans to shift into drive. Battery disconnect and reconnect fixed that issue but that could have left an tech unsavy person stranded. Other things where I cannot really blame Chrysler/Jeep component quality for are bend tie rod and track bar, smashed steering stabilizer (not needed anyways), death wobble due to worn bushings on aftermarket trackbar, Front driveshaft CV Joint boot failure, Valve failure on charcoal canister after the jeeps ass end was submerged in water for 10 minutes until I winched out of it and other off-road related battle scars that just add character. I love my JKU despite the issues it had but I'm certainly not on good terms with Chrysler especially on the early transmission failure.

Mine is a manual, and still has original clutch and brake pads believe it or not ...

My wife has a 2015 Sport S and it is her #DDWrangler. And I drive it as much as I can... The only time I was kinda uncomfortable was when we drove from Illinois to Florida and had an 18 hour drive day. The only problem we have had has been with the radiator leaking which I've heard is a design flaw, but as soon as the warranty is up an all aluminum radiator will fix that. I feel the only people that complain about Wranglers, are people that got them for the status and not because they actually wanted a Wrangler. To them I usually say get a Cherokee, or Renegade, if you can't get a Grand Cherokee.

Cool video. I've been driving an '03 Rubicon TJ everyday since they pulled it out of the showroom for me 17 years ago (October 2002 actually, 3 years until a rebuild:). It's a bit bumpy, but it's not horrible, the YJs were bumpy AF. I'll say this, it's one of the easier vehicles to park, not too many spots it won't fit. My hesitation with the newer jeeps is the V6. At first I thought they were ugly, but they've grown on me. The last thing I'd think about the newer Wranglers is unsophisticated, I think the complete opposite, they're getting too sophisticated. #DDWrangler

I had one of those Jeeps for almost two weeks as a loaner. It was 4 door hardtop w/ 3.6L engine & an automatic transmission. I think it was a Sahara. It was actually brand new w/ less than 500 miles on the odometer. I strictly drove it city & highway miles & put something like approx 400 to 600 miles on it (I don't remember my exact mileage). I dared not take it off road for fear of putting a scratch on it. I really enjoyed it & took extra trips just for the fun of driving it. I thought the handling & road manners were very refined for being a "truck". Also I was really impressed w/ the interior appointments & level of refinement. It had been decades since I had been in a Jeep. I was impressed w/ the vehicle overall. My regular vehicle is a late model 4 door sedan w/ independent suspension. So naturally I could tell a difference between my independent suspension sedan versus the solid axle Jeep. However as stated earlier, I was really impressed w/ the Jeeps quality of ride. (edit) I forgot to mention. The window sticker was in the glove box & I believe the MSRP was approx $38,000.

Had my 3.6 JK for 4 years now and have loved every minute - except the cost of keeping it on the going . Spent several thousand dollars on finding a recurring “sensor fault” (Engine warning light / ESP light and going into limp mode when driving over a small bump in the road), replacing numerous rockers (failed needle bearings) and several other “electrical faults. It never left me stranded, so I wouldn’t say unreliable - just expensive to keep going. I have no intentions of buying anything else (except maybe a CJ with no sensors, no computers and a basic engine that doesn’t need a computerised workshop to service it).

We bought a JK the first yr they came out and we still have it. Only problem we've had is a short in a wiring harness. Dealer took care of it and that's it. 170k miles ten yrs later. Not much else needs to be said.

Elevated idk what 3.8 you’ve owned but there’s tons of them well up over 200k miles now, gutless they may be but as far as reliability they’re extremely reliable engines.

The 3.8 was a horrible engine. It was build off the Chrysler mini van pool of engines. If it was so great they wouldn't have replaced them so quickly. 4 years and done.

The Rubicon was always my dream vehicle, but I got in one for a test drive and at 6'4" I just don't fit in them. So it was with a heavy heart that I went with a Ram Power Wagon, and even though it's no Rubicon it sure is a fun rig.

Here is the thing with FCA - they make GREAT stuff that falls apart around 80k miles. Frankly ANY car in 2017 should be reliable enough to have a mostly trouble free experience in the warrantee period. I mean, thats expected right? The trouble is what happens after that. I realize Its anecdotal at best but I had a good long chat with a NPS ranger in the Maze district in canyonlands national park. They use JKU's to patrol the park and unlike other parks this one REQUIRES a jeep level vehicle...its about 1-2 hour graded dirt road to get INTO the park and the rest of the park is pretty legit. She told me that she likes the capability but not how fast they wear out. She was on her 3rd one in 5 years because after a very short amount of time they start to become very unreliable and start to basically fall apart. Sure its being used hard, but we're talking less than 40,000 miles before replacement. Its not that they aren't nice new...what car isn't...its what is it going to be like at 100k?

Thank you for that objective, fact based anecdote that conveniently serves to confirm your anti-Jeep bias. Why isn't my Wrangler falling apart at 110,000?

My 2012 jk Rubicon is a blast to drive. It is lifted 3.5 inches, Procomp mt2 35" tires and Procomp Helldorado 17" wheels with a poisen spyder tire carrier and rear bumper. The jeep is beautiful and I smile thinking about it, driving it and exiting it. It is so cool. Off road it's amazing. On road a blast. I could not be happier driving something else. Have a great day.
