Power seats are just a mechanical part that could break. And besides, how many times does someone really adjust their seat that they can't just do it manually?
The mileage is across the platform (including Sport and Sahara). Keep in mind that Rubicon sits higher in the wind, and carries weight in the form of big tires and more skid plates. MPG highway is figured on 55 miles per hour, and if you are mostly driving 75 you will never see that number. Mileage should improve a bit as a new engine loosens up. And if you aren't using premium fuel as recommended you may see a bit less MPG (and performance, especially in summer). At least you have a shitload of stickers...
I've got a 2020 JLUR with the 2.0. 37 inch tires, coilover suspension, long arm kit, and I changed the gears to 4.88s. I get 17mpg on the highway in 8th gear at 75mph.
I had one as a rental car for a few weeks. Loud is for sure. Was like driving my Jeep when I was in the Army. Had a Grand Cherokee a few rentals later and liked it much better.
Your complaints indicate you bought the wrong model. Sounds to me like you should have ordered the V6 Sahara. Those highway Bridgestones are actually amazing I have taken a rental with all the extra insurance 2020 Jeep Sahara to an off-road vehicles park outside Greenville, SC and I rock crawled I took it mudding climbed hills I thrashed that thing and it never got held up on anything. Ride on highway was amazing and at an average of 80 miles an hour I was getting 27 miles per gallon with premium fuel.
I kinda feel like you would’ve been more happier with the Sahara. Better gas, tires, and handling; with the almost same amount of off-road capabilities. I mean are you really going rock crawling in a business vehicle?
Jake haha probably not, but you never know. I liked the Sahara a lot and agree that it’s a better daily driver. I got the Rubicon primarily for the looks.
75mph?? That right there is your problem. Remember that the work the engine is doing is a function of the velocity CUBED. (The drag increases as a square of the velocity, but there is also another velocity variable in the work/power equation.) So if the car is tested at 60mph, that value goes into the work equation at 216,000. At 75mph, that value becomes 421,875. So, all other values being equal, which they won't be, the engine is performing almost twice as much work at that higher speed.
I have a dodge charger 2012, honestly I hate the Uconnect System. After about 6 years my bluetooth does not work. I have done a lot to reset it, but keeps failing to work. I wish there was a better system then Uconnect.
The 2.0 Turbo ETorque was already discontinued. I looked underneath the 2.0 Turbo and had several battery related items in prime areas for destruction. You probably won't hurt it at the mall.
They have $7000 off the Rubicons here in Ohio. I’ve owned two jeeps in the past but still worried about the death wobble and they feel kinda cramped inside.
That’s awesome - are those 19s or 20s? I originally wanted a 19 because they were almost $10k off of sticker in MA but I couldn’t find a white one. The interior feels pretty spacious but the doors are small so getting in is weird until you get used to it.
Okay as a Jeep owner myself. Here are your answers: #1 it's a Jeep - you didn't buy it for gas mileage did you? #2 It's a Jeep #3 it's a Jeep, hard to make a radio head unit waterproof #4 Tires? It's a Jeep, no one keeps their factory tires #5 power seats...in a vehicle that's made to get wet inside...uhhh nope! It's a Jeep! I love that you love your Jeep though! Welcome to the Jeeper Family!!!
When you said that 21mpg wasn't good fuel economy for a 4cyl, i laughed because my 2011 honda crv gets 21mpg hwy. This Jeep is a 5800lb beast. I test drove the 2021 and it was like driving a lincoln compared to my current crv ad the new 2020 crv. I can't wait to buy the 6cyl wrangler this spring.
The EPA never gives realistic numbers but they are based on driving the speed limit (55 mph in most states) and not over accelerating from lights or getting on the highway.........
I have a chat with a Jeep dealer before. And was telling them. How come Jeep doesn’t have power seats. Even in its top of the line model. Now, here you go, we have the same thinking/comment bro. With such a handsome price for the Jeep . The Jeep should have a power seats on it. For the driver and front passenger convenience sake.
Also what dealer did you get your Jeep at, Quirk? It’s out side of Boston but might I recommend Imperial in Mendon, Ma. Huge selection of cars they have Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler and Hyundai all at one dealership for new cars and the dealership had a diner, hair salon, gas station and a few other things. I’d recommend checking them out, it’s not like any dealer I’ve ever been to! Haha
F45 is a 45 minute functional athletes workout - personal training in a group setting - and it’s the fastest growing fitness franchise right now with over 2,000 studios worldwide. A complete beginner can train alongside an elite athlete and both will get an amazing workout. My wife and I were members at a studio in NY before we moved and fell in love with it.
The Test Drive ah ok! Is your studio in Boston? If is closer to Franklin than Boston is then I am interested in trying it when it’s open and this whole pandemic is over!

Complaining about fuel mileage at 75 miles an hour is ridiculous. Try it again at 50 miles per that is where the EPA measures. And use the cruise control when you do it.
I totally get why people buy the Wrangler, the stance potential, ruggedness, utilitarian and what not. But people need to understand, it is a Wrangler, horrible gas mileage, spartan interiors, noise and feel just come with it. The wranglers are horrible for daily driving, been driving mine for 7 years, but have their worth off-road so all that doesn’t matter. Compromise has to be made somewhere and it better be on road instead of off-road if you are only once or twice a year it’s not worth at all. From what you said you may be better suited for the Sahara or even better the Grand Cherokee. But at the end of the day if your happy with it, go for it. But you are going to have to live with what you stated no way around it, except for tires and uconnect.
The problem with most of these videos describing details they dislike is that they never justify it. You my good sir have no an incredible job at laying out your dislikes but justifying why they are there. It’s a Jeep thing, not a Cadillac
You made absolutely no sense as to why you loved your jeep and hated it. Especially when you spoke about the tires and then gave them rave reviews for not getting stuck. Hmm
Who buys the highest trim level rubicon and puts a 4 cylinder in it? 🤣😂🥴🥴🥴 Also this video could've been 1 min. Who buys a jeep and complains about the gas??
i don’t get the gas thing is like if you have money to buy a jeep rubicon that is almost $60,000 or more depending on the extras why complain about the gas ..🤯 it hurts my brain .. i love my jeep and i don’t care about gas or noises or part that brake .... i use my jeep for everything to go everywhere alone or with family and i have 0 complaints 0.
This could have been a 3 minute video..
All the things you mentioned sound like you brought the wrong Jeep model/wrong car.
BTW, the decal made it look like an EMS vehicle.
MPG lowers considerably going 75mph compared to say 65mph
I'm dissapointed, I thought his first reason was due to the stripes he put on... I know I'd hate them.
Lohkay You are right. Those stripes suck 🐫🎱.
First seeing them in the thumbnail I wasn't sure, but I actually think they look pretty good.
Facts lol !!
Power seats are just a mechanical part that could break. And besides, how many times does someone really adjust their seat that they can't just do it manually?
We're starting a business next month so we bought and wrapped a 50k car first. Lol

Can't wait to get my 2021 Rubicon EcoDiesel. Im addicted to these vids.
You can fast-forward to 03:45 to skip unrelated content.
Thank you. I was like, get to the point already.
thank you

Which one more fast or have more speed
75mph?? That right there is your problem. Remember that the work the engine is doing is a function of the velocity CUBED.

Nicely done math that was my contention as well
I rented a Jeep Unlimited with the turbo this last week and it averaged 23 MPG almost. My favorite part about the vehicle was the engine.
I have a dodge charger 2012, honestly I hate the Uconnect System. After about 6 years my bluetooth does not work. I have done a lot to reset it, but keeps failing to work. I wish there was a better system then Uconnect.
I got 2021 3.6 auto unlimited sport, 21 town, 25 higway
I get 18 interstate, 16 around town. 32.7” mt tires.
The 2.0 Turbo ETorque was already discontinued. I looked underneath the 2.0 Turbo and had several battery related items in prime areas for destruction. You probably won't hurt it at the mall.

What is a F45?
Lmao dude. Dude, half this video is redundant. Half the reasons you complained about, it’s because you bought a rubicon.
Thanks for sharing. You mentioned briefly about the motor noise into the cabin, but how is the road noise overall?
Check your fuses are seated, it may be the reason for the Uconnect bugs.
I never had an issue with my U Connect....🤔
Okay as a Jeep owner myself. Here are your answers: #1 it's a Jeep - you didn't buy it for gas mileage did you? #2 It's a Jeep #3 it's a Jeep, hard to make a radio head unit waterproof #4 Tires?

Wow... I have the 2019 JL unlimited sport S.... I drove from STL to ATL and my dashboard reads I average 26.3 MPG
When you said that 21mpg wasn't good fuel economy for a 4cyl, i laughed because my 2011 honda crv gets 21mpg hwy. This Jeep is a 5800lb beast. I test drove the 2021 and it was like driving a lincoln compared to my current crv ad the new 2020 crv. I can't wait to buy the 6cyl wrangler this spring.
The EPA never gives realistic numbers but they are based on driving the speed limit (55 mph in most states) and not over accelerating from lights or getting on the highway.........
I get 22.4 consistently. Combo hwy and in town. Keep your foot off it and don't fly off the line every light. BTW I drive a stock Sahara.
You made the right decision getting the 2.0 but yeah it sounds like ass. But with my 20 JLUR 2.0 I'm averaging 22mpg so idk how heavy your foot is?
1 YOU DON'T BUY A JEEP FOR FUEL ECONOMY 2 ENGINE SOUND REALLY!!!! 3 THOSES KO2 ARE GREAT TIRES THEY SHOULD DO YOU GOOD FOR YOUR MALL CRAWLER
BOTH OF THESE COMMENTS ARE CRINGEY
I have a chat with a Jeep dealer before. And was telling them. How come Jeep doesn’t have power seats. Even in its top of the line model.

I got mine at Station Jeep in Mansfield. I’ll check out Imperial sometime though, that sounds wild haha

Probably also doesn't help that he nearly stops to merge onto an empty highway. Probably not the smoothest driver.
I was waiting for you to hit your Jeep with a golf club like the picture.
I think you might have a problem with your uconnect system. Mine doesn’t do that but I have the V6 maybe it is different.
I have a Sahara 4cyl with no 8.4 issues
I have a Challenger and have the same issues from time to time

My 2ltr 2020 rubicon has done 27 miles a gal if I drive it with economy in mind
The decals make it look like a toy car
People buy stuff then post silly videos about what they hate about it. Stupid why buy it.
The problem with most of these videos describing details they dislike is that they never justify it. You my good sir have no an incredible job at laying out your dislikes but justifying why they are there. It’s a Jeep thing, not a Cadillac
In my opinion I think the stripes look bad ass!
With the 2.0 liter turbo do you have to put in 93 octane?
You bought a 4 door sedan with that will take thousands to make it into an off-road vehicle.
The KO2's are Snow Rated.... LOL
I have had both, the 4 w/turbo is the way to go. Terra Grapplers will smooth the ride & keep some off-road capabilities. Good luck!
nice you guys are doing so well. you must be so happy. awesome! :o)
it starts around 4:00 dude rambles more than a girl on makeup. did all that with 2500 miles ok. test drive maybe.
EPA rating done @55 mph.
Why purchase the vehicle and make a STUPID video. You test drove it and even researched it. ?
Sweet vehicle, but those graphics and stripes are absolutely horrendous.
better than Doug Demuro - Athar
You made absolutely no sense as to why you loved your jeep and hated it. Especially when you spoke about the tires and then gave them rave reviews for not getting stuck. Hmm
I didn't watch but hopefully the color scheme was one
Who buys the highest trim level rubicon and puts a 4 cylinder in it? 🤣😂🥴🥴🥴
Also this video could've been 1 min.
Who buys a jeep and complains about the gas??
A 4 cylinder engine for a Jeep 😂🤣😂! I got Better Gas mileage with my 1970s V8 Jeep Wagoneer 🤦♂️😂🤣😂!
EPA... it’s a Jeep...
Those stripes should be the first thing why you hated your JL 🤮
You spend the first five mins rattling over yourself.. Its a vehicle review.
Why waste the viewer's time rambling on for the first 25% of the video before you get to your utterly personal opinions.
I would hate this jeep too...just for the paint job
i don’t get the gas thing is like if you have money to buy a jeep rubicon that is almost $60,000 or more depending on the extras why complain about the gas ..🤯 it hurts my brain .. i love my jeep and i don’t care about gas or noises or part that brake .... i use my jeep for everything to go everywhere alone or with family and i have 0 complaints 0.

Look pretty ridiculous to b honest, way too much going on
