What are your thoughts on the things I hate about my Jeep? If you own a Jeep, what are some of your complaints? And if you're thinking about purchasing a Jeep, what are your concerns? We all love our Jeeps, but my goodness Fiat Chrysler!
I Have a 2017 Jeep renegade And I Actually like it. I get about 18 miles a gallon i think thata pretty bad for a four cyndlier. And as pairing a phone goes its pretty simple with uconnet 5.0 oncw i start my car it recognizes my phone. Keep up the good work on videos
18 mpg is bad actually that's the lowest the mpg gauge reads i dont drive it alot im an otr truck driver and yeah its underpowered its a 1.4 liter shark engine or something like tht top speed is 78 mph
You my dude Anton but I feel as if you over paid. I have a 2012 JK and it’s fine with a 3.5inch lift and 35inch tires. Unless your Jeep has the same Dana 44 as the rubicon then no good deal. But honestly you could have gotten a less expensive model like the unlimited sport or Sahara and added a lot of features you wanted. A lot of after market parts for the Jeep are awesome. The gas mileage thing is weird. I get that with a lift, you might need to take it to the dealer to get it checked out.
I ALMOST bought one of these things but decided to drive my 09' Liberty into the ground and remodel my house. I really love them but you pointed out some real problems that are useful when someone us considering one of these! Keep the cool vids coming!!!
Honestly, I feel for this guy If anyone is spending that much money for a car it should come with the latest technology, and be made with the best quality. That being said, you’re playing for the “Jeep” logo brother. Best advice I could give you is buy a slightly used Jeep for less than half the price of a new on and invest a couple grand into it. You’d be spending less overall and have a Jeep fit to your liking.
i agree a jeep is over priced and they do not provide you with what you should have based on the price. I could not afford a new one so I got a 2014 for 30k,,40k miles on it. My wife said,,"we could have got a new benz for that price." I said "yeah but the doors on a benz don't come off." Overpriced or not,,I love my jeep and this is me from pretty much here on out.
That was my initial thought process. But since I want a JL, if...IF... You can find a used one, if only going to be 3 to 4,000 off the original MSRP with 30 to 40,000 miles on it, so you get little to no factory warranty left on it
Facts. Jeep really pulled the fleece over customers eyes with all the "upgraded" packages- the upgrades aren't good. As you said, Jeeps are great at the barebones level, with after-market mods.
Everyone is talking about “it’s not for you” or “when you buy a Jeep you are/are not paying for...” fact of the matter is, it’s his opinion. I really want a wrangler. I want the removable top and the mod-ableness. I still don’t think it’s worth the amount of money it is. Or... at least, it should have some luxury features that come with it. You ARE overpaying. It is just the Jeep brand taking advantage of the fact that the Wrangler is so unique. so they charge more for it, because you can’t get something like it anywhere else.
Anton Daniels Not sure if you’d be interested, but if you’re that annoyed by the screen technology, there’s a kit for a 10 inch touchscreen that you can put in by yourself. It’s a bit pricey at 500, but it might be worth checking out some video reviews. Just look for 10 inch Jeep screen by gta car kits.
You're absolutely right. and... Chrystler has been fucking their customers over with the wrangler for far too long. Unreliable, garbage interior, trash engines. everything. The only thing good about the wrangler is its off road capabilities, kinda fails in every other aspect. This day in age, if you're paying for that price, you expect a certain quality. i dont care if its meant to be an off road vehicle. Trucks used to be work vehicles, but look at the new fords and dodge rams. they're just as luxurious as some luxury cars. Now a days people want luxury, i remember seeing the price of a wrangler sky rocket by upwards of 10k in the last 5-10 years. its ridiculous how much they charge now.
@@Lifeisgood311 They are making the jeep better now, although I have to disagree with the comments above because I actually own a jk 2013 rubicon. and it drives great, I personally think the interior is really nice, I think they can make it more basic in the fact that if you own one, there are many little crevices and parts that are very diff to clean because the way they make it look. I happen to think it holds up great, the paint on mine which is 8 years old, although super low miles is absolute perfection and it sat outside for this entire time, the interior is flawless, the leather seats are absolutely perfect looking and feel great, more comfortable than many seats and i've had a 2013 535 and a 2017 330e both bmw's and these seats are far more comfortable than those. Yes if you get a stock base sport jeep they are not the best, but they are also not expensive, in 2013 they were like 22 grand and now they are more like 26 or so, but not by any means high priced, and unfortunately paying for straight axels and more rugged (def not indestructible like the older axels pretty much were) still offroad worthy out of the box more so than anything else. if you want similar capabilities stock form from companies you can opt for land cruiser for 3 times the price, some land rover and range rovers some of which are not to far off the price or well into the 80k plus range and they are unreliable to a degree no one would buy without a solid warranty. point is there are other options, at dbl or more the cost that are luxury offroad vehicles technically more capable in some instances. you are buying a lifestyle in many cses. your buying something you can take the family into the wilderness with like a side by side, just not as fast obv. Your buying something that can be driven on and offroad. My rubicon little 2 door with handle the highway at 75 mph no problem at all very comfortably in my personal opinion. I had a 2012 tacoma that I drove till it had 150k miles and that thing drove like an absolute pos compared to my jeep on every level at about the same mpg so to say its not worth it just means that maybe it isnt for you or you didn't option yours properly. The sahara is more of the luxury jeep anyway, so this guy should of went that route and optioned it out still been about the same price or lower and had more of what he wanted. i know no one wants to hear this as it should come equipped better, but there is a gigantic market for diff infotainment systems esp for jeeps that will allow all the features to still work and be much better.
Anton Daniels no, you didn't overpay. Seems like you just bought the wrong vehicle for what you need. It isn't a luxury vehicle. It is a Jeep. It's made to have interchangible parts and removable parts.
exactly my thoughts, we recently had to let our 2014 wrangler rubicon go but what you pay for is the stuff underneath that you don't see, the suspension, transfer case, offroad goodies, body on frame construction etc. i did have a few of those complaints though but my absolute biggest complaint was the headlights, they were brutal bad for a 2014 at that price range, they did fix it for the 2017 year with led lights though
I agree, from the concerns Anton presented, it seems that its not the Jeeps fault that he picked the wrong vehicle for the features he's looking for. Fit and finish, acceleration/power, high-tech bells and whistles, and fuel economy. Tesla Model S is a better fit!
Have you owned a Jeep before? Its also important to note the newer JL's with the 8 speed automatic gets better gas mileage, backup camera and a better complete audio/nav system. Not to mention a slightly better, more comfortable ride.
Videos like this are a reminder that if you're buying a vehicle that does a specific thing, like off-roading, you're going to pay more for specificity. If you're not going to use it for that specific thing, then things like poor gas milage will definitely impact your ability to appreciate your purchase to the fullest. I'd recommend taking it camping (if you already haven't) to a remote location so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. Cheers.
I looked at the different jeeps over the years and ended up buying a 2003 Rubicon. It was already modified exactly the way I would want it. That also gives me a $35,000 budget to make repairs, upgrades and additional modifications compared to your $50K jeep. Like I could replace the engine, axles and roll cage and add front and rear cameras and repaint it and . . . . I still get about the same gas mileage. Lastly, I could not see myself taking a $50K jeep offroad and really enjoying it. A 15K jeep? Sure. I feel like you could get a lot more from a Jeep if you just paid a lot less to start.
Anton, You may want to consider joining a JEEP club and going out on a four wheeling adventure. Once you see what a JEEP can do offroad, you may see why the engineers had to compromise on certain things.
Anton Daniels you should go with a club because of experience on the trails. It's always better to off-road with multiple ppl than by yourself. You never know what can happen out there on the trail.
as 1 of 30 black male jeep off roaders lol. bring a friend your first few times....or learn by yourself. whichever floats your boat. go slow, focus on straight lines where your tires will be as balanced as possible going over obstacles. don't rush through muddy water (you never know how deep it may be), did I mention go slow lol
@@AntonDaniels In a club you will learn from experienced off roaders and be with people who can help if you get stuck. Always better to be with a few other people especially since you don't have a winch. Not to mention they can give you good advice on any upgrades you may want to do. But seriously get off pavement. Michigan has some great off road in the northern part of the state.
@@danandhibb I love it. I had my heart set on the new Range Rover Velar when I went out and can honestly say that I do not regret it at all. Once I heard the dependability issues with Range Rovers and how dependable Jeeps are I went with the Jeep.
I love these Wrangler “hate” videos. I owned a 4dr 2012 and didn’t have any problems with it. Now, that I’m thinking about getting a new one, I haven’t heard much I can’t live with, so far.
Out of all of these issues you mentioned the only ones that concerned me after getting my Jeep was the sluggishness of the engine(which is because of the weight of the vehicle) and the electronics as you say... BUT I planned on switching my interface out for an android touch screen so that part wasn't a deal breaker. As far as gas goes my jeep gets about 18.5 MPG, but it is a Wrangler sport.. a basic wrangler. I love.
You 10000% right about that damn radio. They did fix it with the 2020 model but still....my radio sucks. I have a 2015 and am now looking at replacing it.
Don't bash the guy for having complains. Jeep aren't cheap, i like the JL overall, but the build quality is terrible. I will still buy one if i could afford it. Doesn't mean you can't complain about the issues like this guy.
I'm doing that.. I spent 25K on a used one with 38K miles on it. I'm switching out the interface with an android touch screen stereo. I want to get halo headlights and maybe even a digital dash.
I have a 2011 Jeep drove it for 7 yrs. I can't believe there hasn't been much upgrade since I bought mine...wow. Your interior looks just like mine. Only thing mine doesn't tell me how many miles to empty. But I still love my Jeep 2!
Anton, nice jeep. One thing I will suggest having owned two JKs, around 40k miles you will probably start having problems with the electrical systems. My power windows,door locks and main CPU went out after warranty. Plus, forget about getting anything wet inside even though you have drain plugs. Honestly if I could go back to my early twenties I would have kept my 97 wrangler 4.0 sport with the inline 6. The new JL model in my opinion is not a Jeep for traditional Jeep owners. Not a big fan of the soft top and bare look but it does have a lot of cool stuff for daily driving. Welcome to the club man and be careful. Enjoy the Jeep especially with summer approaching.
I’ll probably trade out within a few years. I’m glad you told it like it is... they are calling me crazy 🤔 if only there was something better (G Wagon 🤔) that you could take the top off!
You seem to not understand the type of people that live down here in the great state of Texas. Yes those vehicles are all over here but this is not Johannesburg. Nobody's off-roading a Land Rover.
I hated the carpet in my 2012 JKU so much that I ripped it out and powder coated the interior and just installed rubber mats. Look into it. It's a good DIY project and it looks awesome
The look you give at 5:20.... just made me howl. I'm seriously thinking about getting this vehicle. You have given me some honest food for thought. Thank you my brother.
$2.40 per gallon ?? WHAT !!?!!?!?? Homeboy you guys are so lucky . Gas prices in California is like 4.80 per gallon !!! I hate gas prices in the westcoast . Anyway .. enjoy your Jeep . Such a beautiful Vehicle :)
I agree with spending so much money about certain things I personally don't like the style of the 2018 Jeeps I have a 2016 Wrangler Sport unlimited with 35 inch tires and I average about 15.2 a gallon and I'm glad that I didn't get a touch screen with mine now thanks for making the video
What draws me to the Jeep is you can buy a pop up tent that goes on the roof. You go up through the roof of the jeep to get inside the tent. It's called Ursa Minor. They install pop up tents on Jeep unlimited, honda element and ford transit vans. You could take your family camping in it.
You are so right about the pairing of a phone and the window not being able to see clearly. I have a 2013 I do love my jeep always wanted one so I got it . Now that I'm retired I can enjoy it more.
Personally in my opinion I like how the technology is set back. A jeep isn't meant to have the new screens that we have today, because when the top is off and it rains well then your screwed. If the newer electronics were in I think it would just destroy the originality of the jeep. Personally you may also think that connecting a phone is slow, but it's also like that for other vehicles. This is my opinion and if anyone disagrees I would gladly like to hear your opinion too :)
Maybe you're right. But I do love my Jeep. I just don't understand how and why Jeep (Fiat Chrysler) continues to milk us knowing we are going to pay top dollar, and how address some of these basic issues.
@Anton Daniels - It's because the model you own (JKU) and the one I do as well...is based off the 2007 model. It's been the same thing for 10 years. They are limited to what they can do on our Jeeps because if they do, it could be a significant change to the model series which affects aftermarket compatibility AND resale (which is the second best resale value on any vehicle in the world). This is why the 2018 JL series is such a significant jump on the inside the cabin amenities, dash reconstruction, electronics/technology, etc. The aftermarket will learn from the new JL line and will most likely offer some very good upgrades/fixes to your JK series without degrading the "stock" feel of the Jeep that makes it so appealing to just about the entire public. Also, remember...the Jeep has to operate WITHOUT the top on it, so it's technology and such has to be able to be exposed to a lot of weather. I personally like your model Jeep...very cool limited run series.
Jeep should take heed of your criticisms. I know other people with Jeeps and they also complain about the gas mileage. Maybe Jeep should consider putting a diesel in that vehicle.
Anton, gas mileage does suck, but I expected that. I bought my 2017 JKU with the standard radio and replaced it with a $400 Seicane Android head unit, with backup camera. Check it out.
Your pointing out a bunch of the same complaints we've all had. The jk just isnt the greatest vehicle for the average driver. It shines in off-road environments. I'm not saying you're wrong. Just reinforcing that you're right. As others have said, Jeep really heard us, and the new 2018 jl fixes a lot of the problems. And then some. Glad you still like your Jeep regardless. They're great vehicles in my opinion. Just lacking when compared to other street suv's
Just a tip, while you’re trying to use the voice commands and she’s listing out all the options, you can make her stop by pressing the voice command button so that you can say what you option you want.
Killingsley Johnsok I paid 25k for my 2015 with 30k miles, and I love that jeep I don’t have any complains about, it is really fun to go off road, I’m in love with my Jeep.
I have a 16 year old jeep, my engine is 4.0 in a 2002, jeep Wrangler SPORT, I would buy a used JEEP with a 3.8 , never buy new one. Good luck with your Jeep.
I completely agree with you about the fitting finish, it’s just very cheap, so are some of the plastic components and corners of the front tableau. Am completely fine with all other aspects though, the engine seems very powerful on mine, though I definitely would like it to have better mileage. I got a 2017 Whilly’s Wheeler Unlimited.
Open your center console you will a plug with a battery on it. That is hard wired right to battery. It will continue to provide power even when jeep is off
People act like this is an acceptable trade-off. Absolutely not for the amount of money spent, so I definitely get it. As a former Jeep owner, Jeeps have always been simplistic vehicles meant to be used as a tool. HOWEVER, that used to come in at a functional price range, even though it had the additional downside of poor build quality and long term reliability. All of that was worth it because it was cheap, fun, simple, modifiable, and great off-road. The problem with Jeep is they took cheap completely out of the mix, didn't address any of the reliability and build quality issues, but also didn't actually add anything to the vehicle to justify the price. The price is literally a passion tax put on owners who want this unique experience and no matter how its explained a passion tax will always be bullshit. Also, that leaves the door wide open for other manufacturers to come in and take a big slice of the Jeep pie if any are brave enough. Hello Ford Bronco! With the Bronco, Jeep now has to do the things that they should of been doing for the last 20 years and actually put some effort in to innovate their vehicles AND competitively price them. Thank god, these things have been out of control for too long.
Spent 29K on the 2018 Jk Unlimited Sport base model four door. Lifted it myself and made it mine. It’s a Jeep all the stuff you complained about isn’t really something you buy a Jeep for.
To lift it, may I ask the approximate costs? Once you lifted it did you go with larger tires? If so, what size I'm just curious and doing my research on jeeps at this time.
Bro I am fucking DRYING. I just bought my first wrangler and agree 100% with everything you are saying. When I first paired my phone I was absolutely 100% blown away with how bad the experience was. Your look says it all. I also still love this Jeep but damn I'm honestly considering a radio upgrade and then keeping the original if I want to sell it later
@@AntonDaniels that's what im saying !!! No, It's all good I've wanted a Wrangler for forever I'm happy - but maybe later. By the way I grew up in Detroit metro - represent! Great channel
Anton Daniels Me too. I do know that the unlimited with the 3.6 and the 8 speed auto tranny is rated at 18mpg in town and 23mpg hwy. That's a huge improvement.
This is a roller coaster, got so excited for the video when you got the Jeep cuz I’m looking into buying one soon, than seeing this video, now I regret it lol
So a few problems I have with your review.... 1) 13 mpg? How are you driving? My 2012 JK Sport has the 6 speed manual, plus Rubicon wheels and tires, and I'm still averaging 17.1 mpg. 2) You paid $50k for a Jeep... Wrangler. Why? For about $10k more, you could have had a Grand Cherokee SRT8 with all the power and bells and whistles you wanted, plus the fit and finish, which I'll get to in a second. 3) Speaking of fit and finish... you do know why the carpet isn't permanently adhered, right? Jeeps are meant for trails. Trails have mud and water. Why would want to leave your carpet in the vehicle if you're going to go through 30 inches of water on a trail? You'll ruin it. It's meant to be taken out. 4) Lack of power? The 2012 JK will do 0-60 in 8.6 seconds. In a vehicle that weighs over 3000 lbs. that's not terrible. It's not a sport car. You want something with power and speed, get the SRT8, or Trackhawk. As far as the tech is concerned, you seemed annoyed when setting up your phone. That's typical for almost any bluetooth. I used to sell cars. I have set up a LOT of bluetooth systems for people. The button you complained about needing to hit to keep your phone charging is a safety and security guard. If that button were keep on, you'd run the risk of over charging your device, draining your Jeep battery, and/ or having a fire. So just remember you have to hit the button and move on. That's all I've got.
I think if you go with the new JL Wrangler you will be even more pleased. 1. The JL now has an 8-speed transmission and feels like its not struggling. 2. It also has a ton more upgraded electronics and the dash looks more 2018 style. 3. I think for the REAR visibility I don't know why you really need it. I mean for the traffic I can see fine. I have a 2018 JL and it has reverse camera and its perfect. 4. I think for the JL it is almost night and day with the fit and finish. The jeep is an easily customizable vehicle but for 2018 with the JL they kept that concept but I think cleaned up a lot of the issues the JK had. 5. I have the touchscreen in mine and it is perfect, no delay. I don't have NAV though.
Honestly, just bought a 2020 Sierra unlimited with the upgraded entertainment package and the 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo (yes 4 cylinder) and I swear it addresses ALL of these problems perfectly.
Many of your issues would be resolved by getting a different vehicle. The jeep is built for rugged use as well as easily trading out parts for customization. Take out offroad with the top down get done rain and mud inside and out and it will all make more sense.
I have same jeep I bought in September 2017 I love it my dream vehicle even the price ya well .... gas mileage isn't great I live in alberta and driving kids to hockey is gas guzzler but oh well I love mine I'm gonna have it till It dies pretty much
I just bought a 2017 JK with 13,000 miles on it. I only wanted it for the modification and summers here in South Carolina. I agree this thing is slow, gas mileage is horrible, and I don't plan on keeping it. Twenty seven days left, to decide if I'll keep it or give it back.
I've owned multiple Jeeps for the past 15 years, and the last 11' JKU Sahara (bought brand new) was a head ache in itself. The brand is not reliable. Believe me, I kept upgrading with the hope that the Quality and reliability would be there, but it is Not the case. The only great thing about the Wrangler is the re-sale value. In no way, with all the proper authorized maintenance, should a 5 year vehicle, need an engline and tranny replacement, right after the warranty expires. I finally gave up after being a Jeep owner for over a decade, and purchased a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. 1 year of ownership, and ZERO trips to the dealership - compared to multiple trips with the Wrangler. Say all that you want to say about the vehicle being great off road - it is - by the way, but it should be reliable as well.
There are always Pluses and Minuses with any vehicle - But number 1 Priority should be Reliability. I do enjoy the new look of the "JL" -So it is a wait and see game on how Reliable this new rendition is. For the Price point of the Jeep Wrangler - close to 40K, I expect it to last more than 5 years without major repairs...So let's see!
GEE CEE I have a wrangler as well and have actually been looking at the same 4 runner than you have . What are the pros and cons of the 4 runner ? It seems you are pleased with the Toyota
Anton, you need to get that thing off road to really appreciate it. Take it to MOAB or Colorado. I'd suggest some modifications first though. I bought my Rubicon brand new for $45K and put another $15K into it. But I LOVE off roading and overlanding. Jeep isn't about luxury. It's about having fun with. Get off the pavement, get it dirty, scratch it up on boulders and trees. See the views that no car will ever see. It's a lifestyle that maybe you aren't into.
I’m w/you at feeling under powered, guys I know as many others in the Jeep community have dropped 350’s in theirs. So a hemi option would be nice. There’s always the RIPP and or E Force you can explore or let AEV drop a hemi in it for you. Good video
Enrique Barrera i only drive my jeep on the highway when is full of mud lol its so fun. Everyone just stares at it . But i have a tj 6 inch lift . I cant turn on the radio. I got mud trail tires and a soft top. Or most times no top. But again i got a jeep not a 4 door soccer mom jeep van 👍
I've rented a few of these so i've never had the experience of being a long term owner, however i get every point you're saying. The thing is, yeah this thing costs 50k but you're paying for its off road capabilities more than you are the fit and finish. You can get a lot of luxury german suv's used for 50k if you wanted a better fit and finish. Another thing, there's no excuse for that mileage. Relatively speaking, its a small engine for the size of the vehicle. and getting 300 miles on a single tank is pathetic. This is exactly the type of thing people have complained to Chrysler about for YEARS. they keep using garbage engines. They just didnt have the competition in that vehicle category so never cared to improve. The fiat 4 banger they got in the newer wranglers is a bit better, that diesel is great too. IF you're willing to drop 4k or 9.5k if you're Canadian. That's just a ridiculous price to pay on top of even a base wrangler, which is already expensive. I honestly think this new Ford Bronco is going to steal a huge portion of Chryslers market share. People have been fed up with being shafted by them and with Fords 2.3L 4 banger and 2.7L twin turbo V6, i can see a lot of people selling off their wranglers and moving to a bronco. There's tons of extra tuning potential with relatively low cost as it tends to be with software tunes on turbo charged engines.
Imo the best thing to do is is buy a Wrangler as basic as you can and add to it. It's fun personalizing it and making it yours. I did that with my 04 TJ and with my 16 JK. Also homemade mods are fun.
267 miles for a 17 gallon tank! That's 15 mpg. I know they are not great on gas, but are you driving that hard. I want a Jeep, but this could change things. I travel a lot for work. May not be the best choice for me too. Though I love Jeeps.
What does having a "real" 4x4 have to do with fit and finish, the electronics working properly, and the engine being underpowered? You Jeep fanboys... I swear.
Lmao “real” jeeps are shitty? I don’t understand. I mean maybe you’ll get bad mileage on any 4x4 I can understand that, but Jeep should still be making vehicles to the quality standards that they used to. My TJ is 20 years old and still feels like a solid and reliable vehicle, a new JK just shouldn’t have issues like this.
You are absolutely correct about the 5 flaws for the jeep wrangler. I have a 2018 too. 13mpg really sucks. The navigation system is useless. Hopefully they fix these things.
What are your thoughts on the things I hate about my Jeep? If you own a Jeep, what are some of your complaints? And if you're thinking about purchasing a Jeep, what are your concerns? We all love our Jeeps, but my goodness Fiat Chrysler!
I Have a 2017 Jeep renegade And I Actually like it. I get about 18 miles a gallon i think thata pretty bad for a four cyndlier. And as pairing a phone goes its pretty simple with uconnet 5.0 oncw i start my car it recognizes my phone. Keep up the good work on videos
Kenneth Barbee do you really get 18mpg? That’s impressive! Do you feel like it’s underpowered?
18 mpg is bad actually that's the lowest the mpg gauge reads i dont drive it alot im an otr truck driver and yeah its underpowered its a 1.4 liter shark engine or something like tht top speed is 78 mph
You my dude Anton but I feel as if you over paid. I have a 2012 JK and it’s fine with a 3.5inch lift and 35inch tires. Unless your Jeep has the same Dana 44 as the rubicon then no good deal. But honestly you could have gotten a less expensive model like the unlimited sport or Sahara and added a lot of features you wanted. A lot of after market parts for the Jeep are awesome. The gas mileage thing is weird. I get that with a lift, you might need to take it to the dealer to get it checked out.
Tony McKnight my Jeep is basically a Rubicon on steroids. You think I overpaid? 😔
The way he looked at the camera when it asked him “would you like to pair a device?” KILLED ME 😂😂😂😂
Shannon Joy pfffffttttt hahahahaha
His face - “Really?”
Yep 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
That over the shoulder look while pairing, hilarious 😆
😂😂😂
I ALMOST bought one of these things but decided to drive my 09' Liberty into the ground and remodel my house. I really love them but you pointed out some real problems that are useful when someone us considering one of these! Keep the cool vids coming!!!
Thanks friend. Good choice
Honestly, I feel for this guy
If anyone is spending that much money for a car it should come with the latest technology, and be made with the best quality. That being said, you’re playing for the “Jeep” logo brother.
Best advice I could give you is buy a slightly used Jeep for less than half the price of a new on and invest a couple grand into it. You’d be spending less overall and have a Jeep fit to your liking.
I'm buying a CyberTruck. Problem solved.
@@AntonDaniels That will be even worse! That will be an endless money pit
i agree a jeep is over priced and they do not provide you with what you should have based on the price. I could not afford a new one so I got a 2014 for 30k,,40k miles on it. My wife said,,"we could have got a new benz for that price." I said "yeah but the doors on a benz don't come off." Overpriced or not,,I love my jeep and this is me from pretty much here on out.
That was my initial thought process. But since I want a JL, if...IF... You can find a used one, if only going to be 3 to 4,000 off the original MSRP with 30 to 40,000 miles on it, so you get little to no factory warranty left on it
Facts. Jeep really pulled the fleece over customers eyes with all the "upgraded" packages- the upgrades aren't good. As you said, Jeeps are great at the barebones level, with after-market mods.
Thank you for your honesty.
You’re welcome my friend
If you don’t want the Jeep, I’ll take it
You got it 😂
Daniel Polanco period 😂
Same
Yes please I've been looking for one I will make payments my car just broke down damnit be happy !!
jewel Johnson I totaled mine. Looking for a jeep
Everyone is talking about “it’s not for you” or “when you buy a Jeep you are/are not paying for...”
fact of the matter is, it’s his opinion. I really want a wrangler. I want the removable top and the mod-ableness. I still don’t think it’s worth the amount of money it is. Or... at least, it should have some luxury features that come with it. You ARE overpaying. It is just the Jeep brand taking advantage of the fact that the Wrangler is so unique. so they charge more for it, because you can’t get something like it anywhere else.
Thank you
Anton Daniels Not sure if you’d be interested, but if you’re that annoyed by the screen technology, there’s a kit for a 10 inch touchscreen that you can put in by yourself. It’s a bit pricey at 500, but it might be worth checking out some video reviews. Just look for 10 inch Jeep screen by gta car kits.
You're absolutely right. and... Chrystler has been fucking their customers over with the wrangler for far too long. Unreliable, garbage interior, trash engines. everything. The only thing good about the wrangler is its off road capabilities, kinda fails in every other aspect. This day in age, if you're paying for that price, you expect a certain quality. i dont care if its meant to be an off road vehicle. Trucks used to be work vehicles, but look at the new fords and dodge rams. they're just as luxurious as some luxury cars. Now a days people want luxury, i remember seeing the price of a wrangler sky rocket by upwards of 10k in the last 5-10 years. its ridiculous how much they charge now.
Until now. The Bronco is gunna make the Jeep look like sup par trash lol Overpriced and unreliable. Thank god there is a second option now.
@@Lifeisgood311 They are making the jeep better now, although I have to disagree with the comments above because I actually own a jk 2013 rubicon. and it drives great, I personally think the interior is really nice, I think they can make it more basic in the fact that if you own one, there are many little crevices and parts that are very diff to clean because the way they make it look. I happen to think it holds up great, the paint on mine which is 8 years old, although super low miles is absolute perfection and it sat outside for this entire time, the interior is flawless, the leather seats are absolutely perfect looking and feel great, more comfortable than many seats and i've had a 2013 535 and a 2017 330e both bmw's and these seats are far more comfortable than those. Yes if you get a stock base sport jeep they are not the best, but they are also not expensive, in 2013 they were like 22 grand and now they are more like 26 or so, but not by any means high priced, and unfortunately paying for straight axels and more rugged (def not indestructible like the older axels pretty much were) still offroad worthy out of the box more so than anything else. if you want similar capabilities stock form from companies you can opt for land cruiser for 3 times the price, some land rover and range rovers some of which are not to far off the price or well into the 80k plus range and they are unreliable to a degree no one would buy without a solid warranty. point is there are other options, at dbl or more the cost that are luxury offroad vehicles technically more capable in some instances.
you are buying a lifestyle in many cses. your buying something you can take the family into the wilderness with like a side by side, just not as fast obv. Your buying something that can be driven on and offroad. My rubicon little 2 door with handle the highway at 75 mph no problem at all very comfortably in my personal opinion. I had a 2012 tacoma that I drove till it had 150k miles and that thing drove like an absolute pos compared to my jeep on every level at about the same mpg so to say its not worth it just means that maybe it isnt for you or you didn't option yours properly. The sahara is more of the luxury jeep anyway, so this guy should of went that route and optioned it out still been about the same price or lower and had more of what he wanted. i know no one wants to hear this as it should come equipped better, but there is a gigantic market for diff infotainment systems esp for jeeps that will allow all the features to still work and be much better.
You pay for suspension, styling, removable top and history when you get a wrangler.
So basically I overpaid then 😂
Anton Daniels no, you didn't overpay. Seems like you just bought the wrong vehicle for what you need. It isn't a luxury vehicle. It is a Jeep. It's made to have interchangible parts and removable parts.
Kaden Bohm I gotcha. Perhaps you’re right. Hmmm 🤔
exactly my thoughts, we recently had to let our 2014 wrangler rubicon go but what you pay for is the stuff underneath that you don't see, the suspension, transfer case, offroad goodies, body on frame construction etc. i did have a few of those complaints though but my absolute biggest complaint was the headlights, they were brutal bad for a 2014 at that price range, they did fix it for the 2017 year with led lights though
I agree, from the concerns Anton presented, it seems that its not the Jeeps fault that he picked the wrong vehicle for the features he's looking for. Fit and finish, acceleration/power, high-tech bells and whistles, and fuel economy. Tesla Model S is a better fit!
The way you looked back at the camera while it was trying to pair the phone took me out!! 😩😩😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😭😂😂😭😭😂😂😂😂
Have you owned a Jeep before? Its also important to note the newer JL's with the 8 speed automatic gets better gas mileage, backup camera and a better complete audio/nav system. Not to mention a slightly better, more comfortable ride.
Videos like this are a reminder that if you're buying a vehicle that does a specific thing, like off-roading, you're going to pay more for specificity. If you're not going to use it for that specific thing, then things like poor gas milage will definitely impact your ability to appreciate your purchase to the fullest. I'd recommend taking it camping (if you already haven't) to a remote location so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment
13 mpg highway on a new vehicle is inexcusable nor is that trash radio
I looked at the different jeeps over the years and ended up buying a 2003 Rubicon. It was already modified exactly the way I would want it. That also gives me a $35,000 budget to make repairs, upgrades and additional modifications compared to your $50K jeep. Like I could replace the engine, axles and roll cage and add front and rear cameras and repaint it and . . . . I still get about the same gas mileage. Lastly, I could not see myself taking a $50K jeep offroad and really enjoying it. A 15K jeep? Sure. I feel like you could get a lot more from a Jeep if you just paid a lot less to start.
Glad things worked out for you
stop trolling dude!! :]]
2021 Jeep is SOOO MUCH better, it’s like they watched your video and fixed all the issues
“Would you like to like to pair the device”😂😂😂😂
Crazy
Wait $2.40 for gas ??? 😱 I need to get out of California 😂 talking about some $3.50...
Taxes is Cali is crazy
Anton Daniels facts, literally takes $60 to $70 for a full tank on my rubicon
$2.96 in Puerto Rico and we are an island... what's going on in California? XD
Cali-Mexico?
$1.27 in Alberta Canada
Anton, You may want to consider joining a JEEP club and going out on a four wheeling adventure. Once you see what a JEEP can do offroad, you may see why the engineers had to compromise on certain things.
I’ll go four wheeling, but I’m not so sure about a club 🤔
Anton Daniels you should go with a club because of experience on the trails. It's always better to off-road with multiple ppl than by yourself. You never know what can happen out there on the trail.
as 1 of 30 black male jeep off roaders lol. bring a friend your first few times....or learn by yourself. whichever floats your boat. go slow, focus on straight lines where your tires will be as balanced as possible going over obstacles. don't rush through muddy water (you never know how deep it may be), did I mention go slow lol
@@AntonDaniels In a club you will learn from experienced off roaders and be with people who can help if you get stuck. Always better to be with a few other people especially since you don't have a winch. Not to mention they can give you good advice on any upgrades you may want to do. But seriously get off pavement. Michigan has some great off road in the northern part of the state.
lj33p its what he need to love more the Jeep and stop thinking getting a Tesla lol
You should have waited one more year, they have literally improved every one of these aspects you named. I just got my 2018 JL Unlimited and love it
I’ll check it out
JMakahaFitz rightvthey did
I love my ❤ jeep 2020 perfect JL unlimited high altitude silver billit tolling package 3 pcs hardtops v6 plenty power. I will keep it until the end.
How do you like it so far
@@danandhibb I love it. I had my heart set on the new Range Rover Velar when I went out and can honestly say that I do not regret it at all. Once I heard the dependability issues with Range Rovers and how dependable Jeeps are I went with the Jeep.
I love these Wrangler “hate” videos. I owned a 4dr 2012 and didn’t have any problems with it. Now, that I’m thinking about getting a new one, I haven’t heard much I can’t live with, so far.
Good luck with that.
New one it’s the best one 2.0 turbo, is a nice deal.
Thanks for your honest and BALANCED opinion. Have an order in for the 392...
You’re welcome
I am so glad you made this video. Just took this vehicle off my list.
The new ones are supposed to be better I guess 🤷🏾♂️
That phone pairing process made my head hurt 🤨🤔
Mine also
Out of all of these issues you mentioned the only ones that concerned me after getting my Jeep was the sluggishness of the engine(which is because of the weight of the vehicle) and the electronics as you say... BUT I planned on switching my interface out for an android touch screen so that part wasn't a deal breaker. As far as gas goes my jeep gets about 18.5 MPG, but it is a Wrangler sport.. a basic wrangler. I love.
I didn't even go into the leaks when it rains
You 10000% right about that damn radio. They did fix it with the 2020 model but still....my radio sucks. I have a 2015 and am now looking at replacing it.
I paid $17k for my 2007. 225k miles so far. No electronics, manual transmission, soft top. Runs great. Couple dents. I Love it.
Don't bash the guy for having complains. Jeep aren't cheap, i like the JL overall, but the build quality is terrible. I will still buy one if i could afford it. Doesn't mean you can't complain about the issues like this guy.
Thank you, you get it.
The JL fixes most of your concerns but at the end of the days its still a Jeep not a BMW, Benz, Audi, Lexus etc...
Should’ve spent $32k-34k on a sport and put 15k in it to make it yours
I think everyone is hung up on price right now
That's exactly what I did.
Kev Moe if u give me the cash i will
I'm doing that.. I spent 25K on a used one with 38K miles on it. I'm switching out the interface with an android touch screen stereo. I want to get halo headlights and maybe even a digital dash.
Absolutely. I got my Sahara for about 35 and had room to mod it out nicely.
The 2019 actually addressed all of these complaints!!! I love my Jeep !
That’s wassup. I’m done with Jeep
I have a 2011 Jeep drove it for 7 yrs. I can't believe there hasn't been much upgrade since I bought mine...wow. Your interior looks just like mine. Only thing mine doesn't tell me how many miles to empty. But I still love my Jeep 2!
I love mine too!
The 2018 JL overcomes literally every single concern he has.
I’ll check it out
Not really I and many other keep owners are frustrated over how under teched the car is, it’s just the truth about it.
Anton, nice jeep. One thing I will suggest having owned two JKs, around 40k miles you will probably start having problems with the electrical systems. My power windows,door locks and main CPU went out after warranty. Plus, forget about getting anything wet inside even though you have drain plugs. Honestly if I could go back to my early twenties I would have kept my 97 wrangler 4.0 sport with the inline 6. The new JL model in my opinion is not a Jeep for traditional Jeep owners. Not a big fan of the soft top and bare look but it does have a lot of cool stuff for daily driving. Welcome to the club man and be careful. Enjoy the Jeep especially with summer approaching.
I’ll probably trade out within a few years. I’m glad you told it like it is... they are calling me crazy 🤔 if only there was something better (G Wagon 🤔) that you could take the top off!
The problem is you spent $50,000 on a Wrangler. Who does that? You are the perfect Grand Cherokee buyer who made a mistake and bought the Wrangler.
Who does it? The guy who wanted to keep it American instead of buying a G Wagon.
Down here in Dallas hooked up lifted Rubicons are going for $100k.
Bent Remy tell em bro
Bent Remy that type of buyer is all plastic, urban assault vehicle types who should stick with Land Rovers, Escalades and Hummers.
You seem to not understand the type of people that live down here in the great state of Texas. Yes those vehicles are all over here but this is not Johannesburg. Nobody's off-roading a Land Rover.
I’m like I knew I knew you from somewhere!!!!! When I got a jeep I was watching and following you on my other page. Good stuff bro
I hated the carpet in my 2012 JKU so much that I ripped it out and powder coated the interior and just installed rubber mats. Look into it. It's a good DIY project and it looks awesome
That’s interesting 🤔
I’m still gonna get a jeep but I’ll keep these cons in mind
Lulu Blue the new JL has all these problems fixed. It's the best jeep ever made. Can't wait for the pick up.
turshin I can’t afford a JL, I’m getting my first vehicle
You should, it’s a great vehicle... this is just some things to look out for 😉
did you buy the car yet? how is it?
Buy some camper tape for you will soon start haven’t water leak problems. Also, make sure you buy a rear Seat Recline Kit also...
Every time he looks into the camera, it's like, BRUUUUHHHHHHH!!!! lol.
The look you give at 5:20.... just made me howl. I'm seriously thinking about getting this vehicle. You have given me some honest food for thought. Thank you my brother.
Think hard and long my friend 😂
Bro u deserve more subscriber for giving real and honest review.. more power man
Thanks friend
$2.40 per gallon ?? WHAT !!?!!?!?? Homeboy you guys are so lucky . Gas prices in California is like 4.80 per gallon !!! I hate gas prices in the westcoast . Anyway .. enjoy your Jeep . Such a beautiful Vehicle :)
You guys are being over taxed. You should be going electric anyway.
Have you ever heard the saying "It's a Jeep thing?" Keep the Jeep wave alive ✌
I have. Not really my thing.
I agree with spending so much money about certain things I personally don't like the style of the 2018 Jeeps I have a 2016 Wrangler Sport unlimited with 35 inch tires and I average about 15.2 a gallon and I'm glad that I didn't get a touch screen with mine now thanks for making the video
Thanks for the feedback friend
You forgot one:
6. No backup camera
I guess you can throw that under technology
Shareta Daniels i believe backup cameras are required on all vehicles manufactures 2018 and on
Joey Farmer oh ok! That’s good to know.
I don't even use my backup camera. I don't trust the damn thing, I prefer to look for myself and be 100% sure I'm clear to reverse.
I have a 09 rubicon and mine came with one. You just got the wrong one I guess.
What draws me to the Jeep is you can buy a pop up tent that goes on the roof. You go up through the roof of the jeep to get inside the tent. It's called Ursa Minor. They install pop up tents on Jeep unlimited, honda element and ford transit vans. You could take your family camping in it.
The new Bronco and CyberTruck will have this feature also. I'm shooting for the Cyber Truck.
You are so right about the pairing of a phone and the window not being able to see clearly. I have a 2013 I do love my jeep always wanted one so I got it . Now that I'm retired I can enjoy it more.
But we still love our keeps 😂
I love my 2015 Jeep Sahara I don’t care about the tire in the back you can still see
Personally in my opinion I like how the technology is set back. A jeep isn't meant to have the new screens that we have today, because when the top is off and it rains well then your screwed. If the newer electronics were in I think it would just destroy the originality of the jeep. Personally you may also think that connecting a phone is slow, but it's also like that for other vehicles. This is my opinion and if anyone disagrees I would gladly like to hear your opinion too :)
Moe T couldn't agree with you more!
Who’s driving their Jeep when they know it might or most likely will rain that day…
The new JL Wrangler Might be a better choice for you Thanks for the video
Maybe you're right. But I do love my Jeep. I just don't understand how and why Jeep (Fiat Chrysler) continues to milk us knowing we are going to pay top dollar, and how address some of these basic issues.
@Anton Daniels - It's because the model you own (JKU) and the one I do as well...is based off the 2007 model. It's been the same thing for 10 years. They are limited to what they can do on our Jeeps because if they do, it could be a significant change to the model series which affects aftermarket compatibility AND resale (which is the second best resale value on any vehicle in the world). This is why the 2018 JL series is such a significant jump on the inside the cabin amenities, dash reconstruction, electronics/technology, etc. The aftermarket will learn from the new JL line and will most likely offer some very good upgrades/fixes to your JK series without degrading the "stock" feel of the Jeep that makes it so appealing to just about the entire public. Also, remember...the Jeep has to operate WITHOUT the top on it, so it's technology and such has to be able to be exposed to a lot of weather.
I personally like your model Jeep...very cool limited run series.
CaptainDawg02 all true, thanks for the feedback friend
Definitely a better choice for you!😊
Or my sisters little Mercedes. What a girl .
Jeep should take heed of your criticisms. I know other people with Jeeps and they also complain about the gas mileage. Maybe Jeep should consider putting a diesel in that vehicle.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I appreciate people making these videos bc hopefully Jeep will take note and make improvements years to come.
I think they are watching and listening
The JL SOLVES ALL THESE Problems pretty much. Time for a trade in! Just picked up my rubicon 19 jl 2 weeks ago. Been absolutely amazing
I think I’ll pass on future Jeeps. I’m looking at a Rivian though
Anton, gas mileage does suck, but I expected that. I bought my 2017 JKU with the standard radio and replaced it with a $400 Seicane Android head unit, with backup camera. Check it out.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to look into that
Mark Diamond d
Your pointing out a bunch of the same complaints we've all had. The jk just isnt the greatest vehicle for the average driver. It shines in off-road environments. I'm not saying you're wrong. Just reinforcing that you're right. As others have said, Jeep really heard us, and the new 2018 jl fixes a lot of the problems. And then some. Glad you still like your Jeep regardless. They're great vehicles in my opinion. Just lacking when compared to other street suv's
Thanks for the feedback
Yeah the JL fixed some problems but mainly priced a lot of us right out of the market. A base 2 door JL is 32,000. Thats insane.
Your face at 5:24 had my dying hahaha. Great video.
The frustration is real
Just a tip, while you’re trying to use the voice commands and she’s listing out all the options, you can make her stop by pressing the voice command button so that you can say what you option you want.
Thanks friend
I am so glad I watched this. Thank you for making this. I will hold off on my Jeep purchase as my first car lol
Go test it out for yourself
Such a good help for me to make a decision. Thanks mate!
You’re welcome
It's a Jeep not a car, big difference. Every complaint is why it's not a car. It's designed for off road use. "It's a Jeep thing."
It should able to do both. Worst, 1* safety rating is unacceptable in newer vehicles.
Yup, 50k
Killingsley Johnsok I paid 25k for my 2015 with 30k miles, and I love that jeep I don’t have any complains about, it is really fun to go off road, I’m in love with my Jeep.
I have a 16 year old jeep, my engine is 4.0 in a 2002, jeep Wrangler SPORT, I would buy a used JEEP with a 3.8 , never buy new one. Good luck with your Jeep.
Thanks
Fit and finish and vehicle being under powered are most concerning. Thanks for this honest review.
You’re welcome
I completely agree with you about the fitting finish, it’s just very cheap, so are some of the plastic components and corners of the front tableau. Am completely fine with all other aspects though, the engine seems very powerful on mine, though I definitely would like it to have better mileage. I got a 2017 Whilly’s Wheeler Unlimited.
You’re being nice. I think the fit and finish is trash
Lexus spoiled Anton lol. The mpg I thought was better. You have yourself a very nice jeep in my opinion.
Urbex Dane 😂 you’re probably right
What blows my mind is the fuel economy - Hell! Full size FORD F-150 4x4 gets 22 mpg!
Yeah... it’s pretty bad on gas 😂
I just bought a jeep wrangler sahara and i love it... I’m in florida, I know this vid is old but you look cold af
😂
Open your center console you will a plug with a battery on it. That is hard wired right to battery. It will continue to provide power even when jeep is off
Gotcha
People act like this is an acceptable trade-off. Absolutely not for the amount of money spent, so I definitely get it. As a former Jeep owner, Jeeps have always been simplistic vehicles meant to be used as a tool. HOWEVER, that used to come in at a functional price range, even though it had the additional downside of poor build quality and long term reliability. All of that was worth it because it was cheap, fun, simple, modifiable, and great off-road.
The problem with Jeep is they took cheap completely out of the mix, didn't address any of the reliability and build quality issues, but also didn't actually add anything to the vehicle to justify the price. The price is literally a passion tax put on owners who want this unique experience and no matter how its explained a passion tax will always be bullshit. Also, that leaves the door wide open for other manufacturers to come in and take a big slice of the Jeep pie if any are brave enough. Hello Ford Bronco!
With the Bronco, Jeep now has to do the things that they should of been doing for the last 20 years and actually put some effort in to innovate their vehicles AND competitively price them. Thank god, these things have been out of control for too long.
Exactly my sentiment... thank your for sharing that well thought out narrative
5:17 lmao
😂😂😂
I really did lol
legit laughed out loud at this part 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s my part lmaoo
Spent 29K on the 2018 Jk Unlimited Sport base model four door. Lifted it myself and made it mine. It’s a Jeep all the stuff you complained about isn’t really something you buy a Jeep for.
Glad it works for you... not me
To lift it, may I ask the approximate costs? Once you lifted it did you go with larger tires? If so, what size I'm just curious and doing my research on jeeps at this time.
There’s a way to fix it being slow. Put a supercharger on it.
You don’t buy a Jeep Wrangler for the gas mileage. It’s a Jeep an off-road SUV
God bless your heart... good luck with that
I love and hate my Jeep too! I love that it’s a Jeep and 4x4. I hate gas mileage, low tire light always on, and general bumpiness.
It’s certainly a love/hate relationship 😂
Bro I am fucking DRYING. I just bought my first wrangler and agree 100% with everything you are saying. When I first paired my phone I was absolutely 100% blown away with how bad the experience was. Your look says it all. I also still love this Jeep but damn I'm honestly considering a radio upgrade and then keeping the original if I want to sell it later
You probably should've waited for the bronco
@@AntonDaniels that's what im saying !!! No, It's all good I've wanted a Wrangler for forever I'm happy - but maybe later. By the way I grew up in Detroit metro - represent! Great channel
I think they've addressed a bunch of these concerns on the 2018 JL that is coming out.
I hope fit and finish is on that list 😂
Anton Daniels Me too. I do know that the unlimited with the 3.6 and the 8 speed auto tranny is rated at 18mpg in town and 23mpg hwy. That's a huge improvement.
My man you need to replace it with the Alpine i209-WRA In-Dash Restyle System
Trust me, I am actively shopping for systems, lol
100%! I approved this message by Mr. Brown
Currently using the Seicane android headunit with front and back up camera. Its not bad for the price.
How the hell are you driving? I get 22-24 mpg on mine, it's a 2018 JL
It’s painful
Honest review by an honest guy is what I saw.
This is a roller coaster, got so excited for the video when you got the Jeep cuz I’m looking into buying one soon, than seeing this video, now I regret it lol
Can you make a video about the different between a sahara, sport s, and Rubicon Jeep Wrangler unlimited?
That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it
@@AntonDaniels I think its sport = base. Rubicon = off road. Sahara = comfort.
When you bought the vehicle was it like this??? Because seems like you hate everything about it.
So a few problems I have with your review....
1) 13 mpg? How are you driving? My 2012 JK Sport has the 6 speed manual, plus Rubicon wheels and tires, and I'm still averaging 17.1 mpg.
2) You paid $50k for a Jeep... Wrangler. Why? For about $10k more, you could have had a Grand Cherokee SRT8 with all the power and bells and whistles you wanted, plus the fit and finish, which I'll get to in a second.
3) Speaking of fit and finish... you do know why the carpet isn't permanently adhered, right? Jeeps are meant for trails. Trails have mud and water. Why would want to leave your carpet in the vehicle if you're going to go through 30 inches of water on a trail? You'll ruin it. It's meant to be taken out.
4) Lack of power? The 2012 JK will do 0-60 in 8.6 seconds. In a vehicle that weighs over 3000 lbs. that's not terrible. It's not a sport car. You want something with power and speed, get the SRT8, or Trackhawk.
As far as the tech is concerned, you seemed annoyed when setting up your phone. That's typical for almost any bluetooth. I used to sell cars. I have set up a LOT of bluetooth systems for people. The button you complained about needing to hit to keep your phone charging is a safety and security guard. If that button were keep on, you'd run the risk of over charging your device, draining your Jeep battery, and/ or having a fire. So just remember you have to hit the button and move on.
That's all I've got.
I think if you go with the new JL Wrangler you will be even more pleased.
1. The JL now has an 8-speed transmission and feels like its not struggling.
2. It also has a ton more upgraded electronics and the dash looks more 2018 style.
3. I think for the REAR visibility I don't know why you really need it. I mean for the traffic I can see fine. I have a 2018 JL and it has reverse camera and its perfect.
4. I think for the JL it is almost night and day with the fit and finish. The jeep is an easily customizable vehicle but for 2018 with the JL they kept that concept but I think cleaned up a lot of the issues the JK had.
5. I have the touchscreen in mine and it is perfect, no delay. I don't have NAV though.
I’ll check it out 😉
Be prepared for sticker shock on the JL.
Honestly, just bought a 2020 Sierra unlimited with the upgraded entertainment package and the 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo (yes 4 cylinder) and I swear it addresses ALL of these problems perfectly.
Thats pretty good.
Many of your issues would be resolved by getting a different vehicle. The jeep is built for rugged use as well as easily trading out parts for customization. Take out offroad with the top down get done rain and mud inside and out and it will all make more sense.
As a matter of fact, I’m going electric and have already ordered the Cybertruck
I have same jeep I bought in September 2017 I love it my dream vehicle even the price ya well .... gas mileage isn't great I live in alberta and driving kids to hockey is gas guzzler but oh well I love mine I'm gonna have it till It dies pretty much
That’s great... I love mine also. Just had a few gripes 😂
13 mpg. Get your Jeep to the dealer ASAP! I get 17 with mostly city driving. Something is not right.
Which engine are you working with?
Same as yours. I have a 2017 Sahara.
And I’m running 33” tires.
Tim Allen I get 18 to 21 mpg
I get 14 /15 mpg! How the hell you guys getting almost 20!! lol
I live the way we always say that we hate some of the things in the aJeep but we still love it.
I think I'm off gas powered vehicles entirely now.
I just bought a 2017 JK with 13,000 miles on it. I only wanted it for the modification and summers here in South Carolina. I agree this thing is slow, gas mileage is horrible, and I don't plan on keeping it. Twenty seven days left, to decide if I'll keep it or give it back.
Hurry and give it back
I've owned multiple Jeeps for the past 15 years, and the last 11' JKU Sahara (bought brand new) was a head ache in itself. The brand is not reliable. Believe me, I kept upgrading with the hope that the Quality and reliability would be there, but it is Not the case. The only great thing about the Wrangler is the re-sale value. In no way, with all the proper authorized maintenance, should a 5 year vehicle, need an engline and tranny replacement, right after the warranty expires. I finally gave up after being a Jeep owner for over a decade, and purchased a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. 1 year of ownership, and ZERO trips to the dealership - compared to multiple trips with the Wrangler. Say all that you want to say about the vehicle being great off road - it is - by the way, but it should be reliable as well.
I agree and that’s great feedback... but leave it to Keep fans and I shouldn’t point out anything wrong with it
There are always Pluses and Minuses with any vehicle - But number 1 Priority should be Reliability. I do enjoy the new look of the "JL" -So it is a wait and see game on how Reliable this new rendition is. For the Price point of the Jeep Wrangler - close to 40K, I expect it to last more than 5 years without major repairs...So let's see!
Gee Cee, may I ask what kind of mileage and driving (ie off road) you did ?
GEE CEE I have a wrangler as well and have actually been looking at the same 4 runner than you have . What are the pros and cons of the 4 runner ? It seems you are pleased with the Toyota
You should of bought a sport s, then added Android radio, tires, gears, lift.. cheaper and you could of had all the stuff you like
Don’t have the time...
Anton, you need to get that thing off road to really appreciate it. Take it to MOAB or Colorado. I'd suggest some modifications first though. I bought my Rubicon brand new for $45K and put another $15K into it. But I LOVE off roading and overlanding. Jeep isn't about luxury. It's about having fun with. Get off the pavement, get it dirty, scratch it up on boulders and trees. See the views that no car will ever see. It's a lifestyle that maybe you aren't into.
I am, I just am SUPER BUSY.
I’m w/you at feeling under powered, guys I know as many others in the Jeep community have dropped 350’s in theirs. So a hemi option would be nice. There’s always the RIPP and or E Force you can explore or let AEV drop a hemi in it for you. Good video
Thanks friend
Great summary. New Jeep shopper and your IRL review was very helpful!!! Keep making content!
You’re welcome
The only thing I hate my Jeep is slow in highways lol, In mountains is a beast.
Enrique Barrera i only drive my jeep on the highway when is full of mud lol its so fun. Everyone just stares at it . But i have a tj 6 inch lift . I cant turn on the radio. I got mud trail tires and a soft top. Or most times no top. But again i got a jeep not a 4 door soccer mom jeep van 👍
my jeep jku is slow to in highway but i love in snow a lot power in summer i take the door off
Jeep will stop being manufactured like Hummer if they don't fix quality control. Especially how expensive they are doesn't help.
I think they are trying to bring the Hummer back
I've rented a few of these so i've never had the experience of being a long term owner, however i get every point you're saying. The thing is, yeah this thing costs 50k but you're paying for its off road capabilities more than you are the fit and finish. You can get a lot of luxury german suv's used for 50k if you wanted a better fit and finish. Another thing, there's no excuse for that mileage. Relatively speaking, its a small engine for the size of the vehicle. and getting 300 miles on a single tank is pathetic. This is exactly the type of thing people have complained to Chrysler about for YEARS. they keep using garbage engines. They just didnt have the competition in that vehicle category so never cared to improve. The fiat 4 banger they got in the newer wranglers is a bit better, that diesel is great too. IF you're willing to drop 4k or 9.5k if you're Canadian. That's just a ridiculous price to pay on top of even a base wrangler, which is already expensive. I honestly think this new Ford Bronco is going to steal a huge portion of Chryslers market share. People have been fed up with being shafted by them and with Fords 2.3L 4 banger and 2.7L twin turbo V6, i can see a lot of people selling off their wranglers and moving to a bronco. There's tons of extra tuning potential with relatively low cost as it tends to be with software tunes on turbo charged engines.
Bronco is coming and so is the Cybertruck
Thanks for the video. I’m in the market buying a Jeep, I’m so glad I saw your video
Glad this helped
Gina Myers you will love this vehicle believe me I just got one
Imo the best thing to do is is buy a Wrangler as basic as you can and add to it. It's fun personalizing it and making it yours. I did that with my 04 TJ and with my 16 JK. Also homemade mods are fun.
267 miles for a 17 gallon tank! That's 15 mpg. I know they are not great on gas, but are you driving that hard. I want a Jeep, but this could change things. I travel a lot for work. May not be the best choice for me too. Though I love Jeeps.
Looks like you have some choices to make my friend.
Hyundai veloster...great gas mileage
you should most likely look at a cherokee trailhawk or a grand cherokee.
I was getting 14-15 mpg city and 19-20 highway cruise
@@SlickWillie they get just as bad gas mileage and lost of problems
Oh you didn’t know? Jeep doesn’t care about the technology features for any trim below the Sahara lol.
😂
Sounds like you don't want a real 4x4. Maybe you should of got a rav4.
What does having a "real" 4x4 have to do with fit and finish, the electronics working properly, and the engine being underpowered? You Jeep fanboys... I swear.
Lmao “real” jeeps are shitty? I don’t understand. I mean maybe you’ll get bad mileage on any 4x4 I can understand that, but Jeep should still be making vehicles to the quality standards that they used to. My TJ is 20 years old and still feels like a solid and reliable vehicle, a new JK just shouldn’t have issues like this.
These honestly don't seem like issues as much as personal gripes.
Actually the new 2019 RAV4 will be my pick instead of the dated Wrangler
Should have or should've... What the fuck does should of mean??????? Maybe that's why you're okay with bullshit
You are absolutely correct about the 5 flaws for the jeep wrangler. I have a 2018 too. 13mpg really sucks. The navigation system is useless. Hopefully they fix these things.
You had me cracking up bruh. But over all you got a nice ride. I love it!👍
Thanks my friend
