  • Is the Jeep Wrangler a good Daily driver? The Jeep Wrangler sport is known as a Vehicle that can take you anywhere, but I wanted to know if it would be a good daily driver. To find out we rented one for a weekend and drove it around town for 500 miles. In this video I am going to point out everything I liked about it and a few things I did not, at the end of the video I hope you will be able to take this information and decide if a Jeep Wrangler is a good choice for your daily commute.
    Let’s start with the interior, We really liked rugged, yet clean look of the interior it felt durable and think it would hold up for years to come. We also liked the positioning of everything and how easy it was to reach and operate. Including the 12 volt inlet USB ports and the window switches.
    Taking a look at the instrument panel and steering wheel you can see everything is laid out in an easy to read cluster and you can even have your speed displayed in digital format. The steering wheel offers easy to use hands free calling and I liked that the cruise control buttons were all on the face of the wheel and not on a side stick and with the being able to be operated on the fly 4X4 on the fly you can be sure to always get where you need to be.
    The two door Wrangler also offers a surprisingly large cargo capacity, with it’s side swinging door it’s easy to access some of the storage space to drop a few grocery bags inside, if you have larger items no worries the back window also lifts easily out of the way to open up more space as well as small smugglers compartment. The rear seats fold and push out of the way using a single lever and now you have plenty of cargo room back there. Everything easily folds back into place and you can leave the back window open for air flow, speaking of airflow we found the it easy to remove the hard top over the front seats. With just a lever turns and a pop of a hatch lock the roof panels came right off and could fit in the back of the Jeep. I always thought I would want a soft top cover, but after seeing how easy it was to get an open air feel we would certainly go with this hard top option.
    Yes we did get the Jeep dirty on our test drive it’s hard not to feel like a kid wanting to splash through puddles in it.
    Finding a comfortable seating position is also easy with be able to move forward back up, down and recline. The steering wheel is also able to tilt and has telescoping ability, adjustable lumbar is a nice feature as well.
    What if you wanted to bring a passenger along for the ride, just like the rear seats having the one lever design to fold and stow, jeep uses a one lever to tilt and slide the front seats out of the way and when you push it back it places it in the exact position it started from.
    Ok we are now ready to get on the road, this model has a push button start that fires up the 3.6 V6. The Jeep is quicker than we thought it would be and had plenty of torgue for passing and merging with traffic. We were also surprised with how quiet the interior was even at high
    speeds, we did not need to shout at one other to hold a conversation and we absolutely loved the panoramic views and ride height, it had very few blind spots making it very easy to drive.
    Speaking of easy to drive, one thing that really stands out with the two door wrangler is it’s insane turning radius, if you are going to be doing a lot of in city driving, then I think this vehicle would be great. You are going to be able to get through some tight corners and pratcially park anywhere.
    So it sounds like we love the jeep so far and it can do no wrong, but it does a few minor issues, The ride is a bit bouncy probably due to its short wheel base, you are practically sitting right on top of both sets of wheels, cross wind out here Indiana was trying to blow us all over the place even when it did not seem to be all that windy out, The rear windshield wiper is unusually loud, when you have the doors closed it is difficult to make adjustments to your seat and finally this remote is a bit much, I know they want it to be tough and rugged just like the vehicle, but it takes up a lot of space in your pocket. That’s really all we could find not to like about the Jeep.
    I think if you have a short commute to work about 30 to 40 min I think you will love how fun and easy it is to drive paired with its go anywhere ability for winter driving and being able to be a convertible when spring hits.
    I think the Jeep Wrangler is a winner for an everyday vehicle, what do you think?

    I know I’m late to the party, but I think this is a very good review. UA-camrs nowadays think all they have to do is turn on a camera and start talking. This reviewer did his homework, wrote a well thought out review, kept the info brief, to the point and the video tightly edited. He also picked a good topic, rather than the other 100 “walk around” videos that include the same repetitive coverage. Very nice, tight video. Reminds me of the Motorweek videos. 👍

    We had an 09 4-dr Rubicon JK and if you remove the rear seat on the 2-dr you will have nearly the same cargo hauling as the rear of the 4-dr. We found the 4-dr ride to be a bit smoother, but in the extreme outback, the 4-dr longer wheelbase was a disadvantage on the tight hairpin switchbacks in the mountains. We rarely hauled passengers around with the 4-dr and the main advantage we found was that we could tow 3500 pounds instead of 2000 pounds with the 2-dr models. If we get a 2-dr JL model, the rear seat will be stored in our storage unit as the cargo area would be great for those backcountry excursions to our gold mining claims with our Beagle Stella who loves viewing the wildlife as much as we do!

    Great review, Kenny. It is nice that you got it a little dirty during your test. I think what you said about the ride is pretty common with Jeeps. I think it is a trade-off people are willing to make knowing they can get anywhere. The other issues are pretty minor compared to the benefits you highlighted. If I had to tow a vehicle, it would be on my short list of choices.

    • @MovingForwardAdventures
      @MovingForwardAdventures  5 років тому +3

      Thanks guys:) I wish we could have found an off-road area to really test it out, but at least Indiana has a lot of roads that are not paved. I agree I think the trade-offs are to be expected with this type of vehicle, with just a few mods you can turn it into a rock crawler and from what I've seen in other videos they are pretty impressive. The Wrangler is on my short list to tow as well, but I still need to convince Sabrina as well lol. If only we could tow two vehicles :)

    @johnlyon8403 5 років тому +6

    Appreciate this review. I'm getting anxious to upgrade our Jeep Patriot toad to a Jeep Wrangler, and am quite curious how the two door will work as a daily driver. Test drives are in the future of course, but it sounds like I'll be well satisfied.
    As an aside, I thought to myself, "That looks a LOT like Indiana!" I grew up in Montgomery County, so I kept trying to resolve roads into someplace I've been around Crawfordsville!
    Thanks again.

    • @MovingForwardAdventures

      Hi John, We did rent this Jeep in Indiana, just outside of Fort Wayne. Sabrina and I are split right down the middle on this one, She really liked the look of the jeep and how everything functioned, but feels the overall rough ride would be a no go for an everyday commuter. I on the other hand loved just about everything about it and could definitely see me driving this everyday. Since we share a vehicle though we will need to continue our search for something we both enjoy to drive. Test drive is certainly a must and if you can rent one for a weekend we think that would be even better. We rented this from National for $60 dollars a day. Good luck and have fun shopping :)

We own a 2019 Buick Enclave Avenir along with a 2015 F-150 Platinum. I love my truck, and her car is really luxurious, but the Jeep wins me over every day! The Jeep also wins on our bi-weekly trips which are about 270 miles one way because the dogs prefer it too!

    just bought the 2017 under 100 000 Kilometers on it. Ya a bit pricy but that's not unusual for Jeeps. Now mine is a lower model I guess. It has the single key, no electronics on it. Noticed the stiffer ride, but again would rather bump a bit than float around for the next mile or two. Again love the simple temperature controls . My wife has the Journey and the climate controls almost need an engineering degree to run it . Another love of my Jeep and a lot of people probably won't get it, but I love not having keyless entry, and not having power windows. Would however like a bit more storage with the rear seat down,,, but it's a Jeep 2 door and I knew before I bought it that storage is tight with the seat down. Now my seat does not stay up well when folded forward so that goes against mine, but found a fix for it with a strap that goes from roll bar to roll bar. All and all love my Jeep.

    The rough ride is also due to it having a solid front axle, no independent suspension fluff here. Owner of 2011 4 door rubicon lifted on 35's.

    I live in northern Indy, right under 465. I excited to get a 2 door new Jeep to do the normal 465 stuff and to go up north and see the family between the Indiana/Michigan border. I’m interested in getting the 6 speed manual instead of the awesome new 8 speed auto. I hope it has at least cruise control since I gotta deal with the northern 465 highway traffic and going up north, the long 37 drive. I have a 95 straight 4, so this (even Bare bones base) model will be so crazy to me.

      I have always loved the Jeep Wrangler, friends have mine have owned them for years and I've been trying to convince Sabrina that we NEED one lol She liked this a lot more than she thought she would, but she wants to rent a 4 door to see if it rides a bit smoother. Take care Sue and tell Mark we said hi:)

      Yes absoultely!! We tried to rent one while we were in Vegas to take off-road, but they were so expensive. Anywhere from $250 for half a day to $400 a day and all the places we called said they prefer for us not to go off road, so we gave up.
      National Car Rental had this Jeep in Indiana and was only asking $65 a day so we jumped on it, I guess they figure they are safe since there is not any off roading in the area lol.

    I bought the 2 door Sport S with a manual transmission. I so far have about 7k miles and average 25 to 29 mpg. Sometimes I wish I had more storage space or less movement with crosswinds on the highway, but I'm really happy with my decision to buy this Jeep.

    • @MovingForwardAdventures

We both bought Electric Bikes and most of our free time has been spending time going on trails here in Seattle. They have incredible bike trail system. There have been days that we have been able to go 26miles with never getting on the street. We have some ideas for videos and I wrote them down. I'm sure we will be back soon with something. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Indina Al. Take care and safe travels!

    I have a Jeep renegade trailhawk. I love the size of it etc. but I’m contemplating a two door wrangler. I want something more rugged. I love how the wrangler doesn’t have electric seats. Overrated if you ask me. I hear the rear seat can be taken out completely? Even better. These wranglers look way better as two doors.

    • @MovingForwardAdventures
      @MovingForwardAdventures  5 років тому

      I think the two door wrangler is the better looking as well and think its personally the way to go. We did not show it in the video, but yes the rear seat easily is removed giving you a ton of storage space back there. Since we dont have kids and rarely ever drive anyone around except for ourselves. I would remove the rear seat. We felt the Weangler was certainly rugged and a very solid vehicle. I hear good things about the Renegade Trailhawk too and hear they are very capable off road as well. Good luck! Decisions decisions lol

    • @tacitus7
      @tacitus7 3 роки тому

      Seriously look at the base level without any extras, except the tow package and AT wheels which include the anti slip differential. That is all you need, unless you want air conditioning. Then get that too, but that is it. Why pay 3000 for the automatic transmission? Insane. (1500 for the transmission and 1500 for an engine that can be mated with it.)

      ..it can be hit or miss with both Jeep and CR. Take their information into consideration, but don't make your decision solely based on what they say/print.
      I bought a VW in the early 2000s and I'm sure VWs got horrible reviews from CR at that time. However, I got 15 years/141k miles out of the car with only minor annoyances but not deal breakers.

    Excellent review!! I've wanted a Ford Bronco 2 door for the past 2 years, but I think next year I will get a 2 door Jeep wrangler sport; They are more readily available and do not have the insane mark ups. If having a convertible suv with great 4x4 means having poor to mediocre gas mileage and a sometimes bumpy ride, so be it 😂💯!!!

    • @MovingForwardAdventures
      @MovingForwardAdventures  9 місяців тому +1

      Hi Jon, I don't think you will regret getting a two door Wrangler. I finally bought one in December last year and absolutely love it! I think other than them being readily available, you will find there is a very strong after market for these vehicles and you will be able to make your wrangler truly yours. I have zero regrets on my purchase and love the the ride, even if it is a little bumpy 🤣 Safe travels and happy shopping!
