Well everyone has they’re opinions and I respect that, but trashing it because it’s not a wrangler or because it’s made in Italy, if it wasn’t for Fiat, Chrysler probably wouldn’t be a brand. I’m thankful for the Renegade it’s a really capable and affordable compact SUV.
I trashed the vehicle here in the comments because the car IS TRASH. I leased a 2015 jeep renegade latitude. The problems I had with it starting at 7,000 miles were ridiculous and never happened to me on cars that I drove for 120k and btw, most people that I have spoken to online have said this car is a piece of shit as well. If you don't have any problems with this vehicle then you are very lucky. I had this thing at the dealership 8 times for malfunctions and parts wear (wheel bearing at 22k miles!) over the course of the last 14 months that I had it. I got fed up and finally turned the car in EARLY by 5 months because I did not want to have the car past the warranty period because I didnt want to pay out of my own pocket for new problems. I had no problem paying off the last 5 payments to have peace of mind. 39 month 36k miles lease and I turned it in with 29k miles. GOOD RIDDANCE!
It took some time to fall in love with it but it grew on me! My renegade is wonderful bought a 2018 in july its got 12000 miles already and has been to at least 6 states from Phoenix to Chicago!!
Bought our Renegade 3 months ago. It's an affordable vehicle that does great off road. We live near the Cascade Mountains. Does great over the passes and on dirt and snow trails up there. Whoever says it doesn't drive great off road is simply wrong.
I like mine I have the 2015 Latitude 6 speed 1.4 turbo. Good gas mileage. Easy to park. I added the full size spare and slush mats. I’ve never had any probs with it. But I am saving for a Wrangler. I want the Willy’s model
the gas mileage sucks balls. I had one. The transmission is a 9 speed transmisison which never really feels comfortable and it's always busy looking for a gear. It has absolutely no torque off the line, which is important for an off road vehicle. The engine and the tranny reminds me of riding my old 2 stroke dirt bike when I was a kid, you always had to keep the engine " on the pipe" so to speak . Really weird car and let us n ot forget that this car is based on anothe fiat model which is another delicate piece of garbage , the fiat 500x. This is not even a borderline off road vehicle. If you take it off road enough you'll find out.
Patty O'Grady You still have it? I’m looking in to buying one but I hear many have had electrical problems with them. How’s yours holding up? Is the 6speed fun to drive around?
It's obviously a city driver, with off road "capabilities" all the traditional jeep fans are confused, that's the reason for all the hate, me, i want one
I test drove one back in 2015 to use as a city car and it was the worst vehicle I test drove. It handled poorly on road I could see the interior vibrate at idle and the engine sounded like an old diesel. Maybe it was just that engine option but I’d never recommend buying one and it scared me away from looking at anything else at Jeep.
@@JSchroederee I have a 2017 and it has the 2.4 tiger shark motor. The worst 4 cylinder engine I ever drove. I to replace it with a subaru impreza compact sedan with a Manuel transmission. I just need a daily driver that's good on gas and good in the snow. I have a full size pickup and I only drive it on week ends. This my daily driver
Brian Robbins 👍Subaru manuals rock! I’ve loved my 2016 wrx, although there have been a few times I’d trade the extra WRX HP+ for the Crostrek XV ground clearance.
How about after six years? My 2015 Renegade Trailhawk has 73,000 totally trouble-free miles on it. No squeaks or rattles. Still looks and works as new. Mine has been fantastic.
I bought my 2018 Renegade Sport, 1.4 turbo and 6 speed manual in September of 2018. The only thing I have done so far is regularly scheduled maintenance, 1 set of tires. Very happy with it's performance and reliability. Currently at 52, 225 miles. Would not worry about taking it anywhere. Nothing loose or falling off and no squeaks or rattles. Ride is somewhat harsh on rough roads, but it is a Jeep.
My 2017 Trailhawk works perfectly fine. Use it as my daily driver & have been off roading with no issues on the T33 crash trail, Kelly Flats and several other medium trails in Colorado. Currently getting 28 mpg HWY on my 54 mile round trip commute with larger A/T tires.
Ordered a red one yesterday, but had 1 problem..the versions and packs..just couldn't find it exactly like i wanted. Now i ordered a standard sport and will add my own flavour to it, in- and exteriorwise there's luckily so many mods and stuff to be found, which i find is a major plus for this brand/model. I can still do anything with it and won't break the bank adding things on it later on..awesome! Just loved it from the start, won't even look at anything else nomore :)
for a year I have owned a renegade trailhawk in Mojave sand and always get complimented on the color. I love this little jeep, its small and nimble, the turn radius is crazy small. As far as reliability we had a problem with a cupeling for the rear end but the dealership replaced the whole unit after trying to fix it twice. those early days of ownership were not fun but it hasn't been in the shop since then. I got the comfort package with electric driver seat, dual climate, remote start and I would definitely recommend this package. This is my wife's daily driver but I drive it any chance I get. It has a fun factor. I also have a weekend worrier '90 grand wagoneer that I love as well. my plan is to buy a JL in the coming years for my daily.
Thinking about getting this car and replacing my 2008 ford escape. I like boxy, small. compact SUV's. I live in LA and this seems like a great all-around car. Especially in LA where there are so many potholes, narrow streets, etc.
We have a 2016 trail hawk which has 40 kmiles on it. My wife has never been more confident driving in cold weather . The 2.4 is what you want . Lots of torque. If you want manual shift just use the buttons on the steering wheel. The 4 low lock makes you do things never possible in such a small package . I'm 6' and 225 lbs. Lots of room , comfy and easy to get in and out ... My only complaint would be that My vehicle is a Dodge 1500 Eco diesel 4x4 . Fuel mileage is about the same ... 30 Canadian mpg
I have the 2015 Trailhawk and i love everything about it. I absolutely love the 9 speed transmission. Its super smooth on the freeways. I've towed a Little Guy 6x10 wide teardrop camper on the back worth ease. Take off is a little slow but hey it's a 4 cylinder 4wd. But you'll get used to it fast. When i first test drove the renegade. I was disappointed in the power, but after awhile, you learn to appreciate it because of the gas savings
Rain sensing wipers? Really? If you're too stupid to not see the rain without sensors, I don't think you are capable of being behind the wheel in the first place.
In well less than 2 years I've had 4 major problems with this curse of a car. Here are the problems I've had in the order I got them in. 1) Ignition could 1 failure, causing my car to jump often, 2) major engine leakage causing my car to STOP in the middle of the road often, they put in a BRAND NEW engine. 3) Radiator fan issue, causing my car to over heat and getting my car towed. Issue 4) check engine light has come on, car has a torque issue and can barley drive. Keep in mind this car was purchased as a NEW car! It only has 53,000 miles on it. Don't buy this car from any dealership especially this one. If you do, I hope you remember these words and I hope you don't live in regret. I'm making payments on a car that is usually in the shop and paying for rental cars.
What year and version did you have? How rough di d you treat the vehicle (example : going through mud, water excetra)? I assume you periodically checked fluids.
@@lakshmandalpadado9066 I understand why you'd think that but it was definitely a brand new car and the story is 100% true but I don't really need to elaborate any further lol
I have a 2018 loaded latitude and I love it , it’s absolutely amazing For my age group it’s was my first 0 miles car and so far I’m pretty empress it’s handles well it’s nice and Smooth and it’s great on gas in my opinion
We have a 2019 Renegade Sport 2.4 front drive with on the go 4x4 selection and love it, not a bad little Jeep, we have a built 05 Rubicon so definitely not new to Jeeps
I'm seeing 2015ish renegade trailhawks with most the bonus features and around 50k miles go for as little as 15k and it seems to me like a significant price drop and I'm perplexed as to why.
I got a 2016 1.4 T manual 4x4 75th anniversary, a special edition not longer available. It’s basically a latitude with 18” inches wheels and my sky roof. As today I would get an Altitude with the same engine. I really like it with the black 18” wheels. Also the car drives much better than the 16” wheels. It’s feels solid. So far not issues, it’s perfect when I drive it in Manhattan and easy to park, it is very spacious for the dimensions and in the snow it’s really good as well.
Wait until you go to replace those 18 inch tires. It will make you want to cry. People the larger the tire the more they cost to replace. Keep that in mind when you buy any vehicle.
Joey Ricco I know FCA is not really known for it's good reliability but I haven't seen many people complain about the renegade. Besides people who have never driven it and hate it because it shares the same platform with the Fiat 500X. They always find something bad to say.
Joey Ricco Well I don't think that you know what you are saying man. Before FCA got the brand Jeep was going straight to bankruptcy. It only sold vehicles in North America and now it sells internationally. Also all of their vehicles are in the top 10 most bought in their segment.
A friend of mine has one and he hasn’t had any issues with it. Majority of cars have reliability issues, it’s the auto companies that’s building them too fast. My opinion.
Just got a used 2015 trailhawk. I'm getting 17mpg city. Looks like previous owner took care of it but in 2021 he did about $1900 in repairs, mostly electrical and reprogramming. He had a evap system leak repair. 2022 looked like he only had problems with the transmitter for the key fobs, he had that fixed. Other than that 2022 looked good. Not sure if I made the right decision getting this renegade but I guess I'll have to find out.
Also is it normal to replace the air/engine filters every service? From the paperwork looks like he had the filters replaced every time, which looked like every 4000-5000 miles.
That's what I do with my 2015 Renegade Trailhawk. A Jeep store near me does a deal where you buy 2 oil and filter changes and get a third one for free and that includes air filters and tire rotation. Oh, and they wash and wax it when their done, too!
@jerroldshelton9367 I wish a jeep store near me did some kind of deal like that. Update: After 1 yr of owning this jeep I can say I like it but hate it at the same time. Spent just about $3k in 2023 fixing the jeep up. Evap problem again was the biggest, replaced multiple parts. TSB flash reset, my engine was randomly cutting out for abt 3 weeks and only dealership can do flash. reset. AC sucction/discharge hose burned some how, replaced. I change oil about every 3,000miles cus around that I start getting dashboard messages of low oil pressure. Current problem squeeking noise and I think its serpentine belt but not sure yet. Hoping 2024 gets better cus if not I just might have to get rid of it.
@@chazzicili3244 Well, I hope 2024 is a happier Renegade year for you and your Trailhawk. When I start needing to sink money into mine to keep it working like it is supposed to, I don't think parting with it is going to be an option for me. What else WAS there on the market that was exactly like the Renegade Trailhawk and what is there now after the thing has been discontinued in North America? Where else am I going to get Renegade Trailhawk off-pavement capability and highway mpg? What else is out there having the Renegade Trailhawk's exterior dimensions and off-pavement capability along with it's useful interior room? What other contemporary vehicle has the same sight lines as the Renegade Trailhawk? To me, the Renegade Trailhawk was unique enough to be something special because it simply "ticks the right boxes" better than any modern vehicle does. There just isn't anything else quite like it and there's nothing new I'd rather have than the Renegade Trailhawk I've already got. To me, it is not replaceable. The only thing I'd consider replacing it with is a brand-new 1986=1987 Bronco II or another Renegade Trailhawk.
@jerroldshelton9367 Thank you, hopefully so and I'm hoping it goes well. Part of the reason I got it cus there was nothing else on the market within my price range and this is a unique vehicle (now it says I'm getting 20mpg) and it can do off roading enough for me to get to new grounds for fishing. That's why I like this vehicle but at the same time it's eating away at my wallet and giving me a headache. Hopefully after these repairs it's just regular maintenance.
I don't understand why all the hate on this little Jeep? I drove my sisters Limited around while she came to visit. It wasn't bad. Was it as capable as my TRD offroad Tacoma, no. But you have to look at the target demographic. First time new buyers or first time suv buyers. It does appeal mostly to women, there for not going to be offroading much with this other than gravel, or the occasional fireroad. The awd system will get you to work and the shops safely in bad weather. It's small and nimble. Mpg was 30' s on the highway, mid 20' s in town. As far as I know she has not had any problems with it in 50k plus miles. Is it a wrangled wannabe no. But is a decent little suv.
How many Wranglers ever go off road? Most of them are mall crawlers... I got a Renegade for its good mileage and for bad weather driving in suburbia (I also have a convertible I drive in the summer, the Renegade replaced a 2005 Liberty Renegade). Do I want a Wrangler Rubicon? Sure, but it would be too expensive and use way too much gas. I didn't let my ego get in the way of a smart decision. My only regret is that the newer UConnect system is nicer (saw it in the 2018 Compass) and has some better phone integration features. Most of those commenting that it isn't a 'real' Jeep also don't understand that Jeep can't survive selling only Wranglers, they have to appeal to different niches in the market.
I have a 2019 Renegade Limited in Solar Yellow. Best car I have owned. No repairs or problems since purchase. Previous cars I have owned in chronological order -- Alfa Romeo Alfasud, Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce ( 1983) , Audi Coupe, VW Pollo, ( 1990) Toyota Corsa,(1995) Mercedes CLK 200 Coupe (1997) Mercedes E220cdi ( 1998) , Volvo XC60 AWD D5(2011)- The two Mercedes gave me the most number of problems and repairs, followed by the Volvo.
Great job Tommy! It might be worth pinning a comment that this applies to up to the 2017 models. The 2018's haven't been released yet, as they're getting a little mid-cycle refresh with all new Uconnect units, glass roof option, and some other expected tweaks.
Hi, I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4 lt engine the Latitude edition for $19,000 I added the Gap and 5 year or 60 thou miles it ended up costing me $23,000 I just love it I’ve had it about 4 days now and, it’s pretty good on Gas ⛽️ but, mine is a 5 speed manual on the lady side with an automatic on the right side roof rack black cool rims 🍎Apple play touch screen with a bunch of other goodies I think I got a great deal!🤗
I have a Renegade and I love it. Yes, I live in the city. Yes, I don't go off-roading except for weekend trips. Who cares? This thing does it all- quick trips, easy parking, camping on the weekends. What Jeep do you drag race with? NONE- who cares if it can't win pink slips in races, Tokyo Drift?
I have a jeep wrangler sport, and my boyfriend has a jeep renegade. His renegade sits lower than the wrangler, but drives much smoother. They're both nice vehicles. living in Miami there's no reason for offroading capabilities, however I do love having a soft top to get a nice tan while sitting in traffic.
Thank you for all the good info and comps. I haven't driven one of these yet as I just discovered them today but I want to test drive one in any color but will buy one in Colorado Red. That was my favorite color of one of my Jeeps in 1994. Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I hope the shade of the color has not changed. Also, I am looking for a 2018 and am not sure which Jeep you are demoing but what a great job you have done especially since there is little info out there on these except for voiceless walk-a-rounds.
2.4L does not have enough power to use the BLD, without a true low range, which the Renegade does not have. I had a 2.4L Cherokee for a few years and ran into this problem, so I upgraded to a Trailhawk, for this and other reasons.
In Brazil or at least São Paulo is absolutely FILLED with renegades and I truly agree that its not a truly off-road vehicle it just has some capabilities
Hey I just saw this video. I have a 2019 Jeep Renegade that I bout in 2019 brand new and it a Sports trim with the power MySkyview so the Sport does come with the power my sky view. Just to let u know.
I bought two 2016 trailhawk models fully loaded. One has 27,000 miles and has never had a single problem. I wish the fuel tank was a little larger and I wish the beats stereo system was a little better, but other than that they are pretty awesome and lots of fun to drive. Off road they are very maneuverable because of their size and smaller wheel base. Definitely get the Trailhawk if you plan on going off-roading and if you live in cold climates get the cold weather package with the heated leather seats! Also, there are three skidplates underneath that are very tough on the Trailhawk model and will they protect you when going over rocks or getting buried in the mud.
I like all these compact suvs. This Renegade and the EcoSport are my favorites so far. I've owned Fords and I've owned Fiats. I like them both. This video only made my decision more difficult! Lol Thank you for the great info!!
The Renegade is getting a 7" U Connect screen next spring. We're waiting for official photos from FCA soon. The Melfi assembly line should be producing the 2018s after New Year's Day 2018.
Thanks for all the info! I am currently looking to purchase a used renegade. I am down sizing from a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo , with 198 thousand miles on it....So your tips will help greatly! How many miles do you think one can get out of a renegade?
you guys get told this all the time, but if you have to read all these numbers out of your notes, then why not put the numbers on the screen for your viewers? sometimes it's like you post 10 minutes of video with the audio consisting entirely of strings of hundreds of numbers and abbreviations non stop. visuals help. imagine watching a game where all they did was read off stats without displaying any.
coelho sports I agree. Also, how are you going to talk about electronic dual sunroofs without showing them opening and closing? I’m still trying to figure out where they go....
i have a 2017 limited. had it almost a year now. i haven't had any issues with it thus far, so far i have put close to 13k miles on it. if you are looking for a real off road car do not get a renegade. it handles fine in the snow and down some dirt or gravel roads; and it works well for pulling dirt bikes or motorcycles and hauling kayaks to the river but i wouldn't take it down a real trail. this is a fairly cheap 4x4 and is normally going to be used as a daily driver. fuel efficiency is mediocre, i average 25 to 27 MPG but that is almost twice what i had on my 2009 Jeep Wrangle JK sport. the Renegade has a lot of gimmicky features and some nice things that come standard, overall i would give it a 7/10.
I bought a jeep renegade last year and it has a 2.4L 4X4 with a 9 speed automatic transmission, it's the sport model. So I think you get different packages in different areas of US. I'm in Texas, maybe that's why the Sport I got comes with what the jeep latitude has standard?
It's surprising how many people have no clue where this vehicle is built. As the joke says, "Why do Italians make such comfortable shoes?? They have to walk a lot because their cars are crap!"
Fiats have a bad rap here in the US, but this may be be the exception. I don’t see many complaints here. Better than Ford with their DC transmissions and engines with interior coolant leaks.
At about 3:50 you say that the 4WD Low just locks it in 1st. This is not correct. I even paused the video and took my Trailhawk for a test drive to verify. It definitely shifts while in low range. I have owned mine for over 2 1/2 years and it has around 40K miles on it. The only time it has had to go to the dealer was because a local tire shop broke an air pressure sensor. A couple of months after I bought it, I drove it to Calispell Peak in Washington State ( www.dangerousroads.org/north-america/usa/8546-calispell-peak.html ) on the stock Goodyear passenger tires. It had no problems. I did decide to upgrade the tires to BFG KO2's after that trip. It does great during snow storms too.
Used to own the Trailhawk model. It's a cool little car with good mpg for 4WD, with rugged exterior and stylish interior, but I think mine got dropped on its head in the factory. A year into ownership the transmission started to slip. Acceleration can be sluggish. The front touchscreen stopped working and the cup holder lights went out.(If you buy this car make sure it's under warranty). Besides that I had fun driving this car to Colorado for the mountain views. Little back story, this vehicle is technically an American/Italian fusion. This vehicle is manufactured in Melfi, Italy alongside the Fiat 500. Fiat bought Chrysler January 21st 2014. If you're looking for a reliable Jeep buy an older Wrangler or Cherokee with low miles, (I used to own a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee) or buy a Toyota 4runner. They are easy to work on, retain their resell value, and fun to mod. Currently own an 08 Toyota FJ. Happy trailing.
Thanks a lot for the video it's very helpful, quick question do you know where is the location of the AWD sensor? Please help me All wheel drive Sensor location feel Renegade 2015. 🙏
Ooooh.....I like my goodies... 😆 We have the Limited in Misfit Bluish/Purple....w/ the Zombie editions... meaning we got the label for the trunk at Walking Dead store in Georgia and put a bunch of punk rock stickers on the back glass...🤙
Can you please help me my uconnect screen is black nothing works what can I do. I am a woman and I dont wanted to overpay 😓 I bought my lease ...what can I do
I understand that this review is being conducted in the US, but I do think it's a little ignorant to not mention the 2.0L Multijet Diesel that is available in the UK and EU, it's incredibly frustrating trying to find a review of these models.
We rented a Renegade Trail-hawk and drove it from Sacramento to Death Valley- The seats become uncomfortable after about 4 hours on the pavement, the automatic transmission was frustrating, our engine had an occasional flat-spot when accelerating, the narrow track slightly lifted Fiat felt tippy cornering on the street however, the little guy did well on the moderate trails in the park and it could hold a lot in the back. As much as we wanted to like the little guy, we decided to restore an old XJ instead. ua-cam.com/video/11ekcDt1XSc/v-deo.html
@@cowmath77 After the park service grades saline valley road or Titus Canyon road that's quite possible - but weather can degrade them in just a few years. Other trails do require a lifted jeep though
Renegde i'ts a more fiat than a pure jeep - if you want a bargain car quite ok for a offroad(but not extreme offroad)buy a Dacia Duster 1,5 dci 4x4 - Duster it's not "mercedes G/Lancruiser", nor a luxury car... but it's reliable and it has by far the best attack and approach angles in crossover's class
While I appreciate the intent of this video, don't take it too seriously as info, options, pricing, packages, trim levels, etc. may change at any time. And they very likely have already.
I’m gonna be moving to the city soon (Austin, if you can’t tell by my profile picture), and I’m considering a 2017 Renegade Latitude, it’s black on black with black rims, I’m fairly excited about testing it out, I think it looks the least “cute-ish” I kinda wanted the regular suv styling without the big size and price, thanks for this vid! Definitely gonna help with my decision
how the H is trailhawk going to be the trail rated off road version when it can even fit off road tires?! there are no off road tires that fit its stock 17 inch wheels!
Can you guys make a video of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 please for poor people like me!!!!. I just bought one, is beautiful. But I would like to see someone making a video of it, how far it will get on mine hill or at least just to try it out!!!!
I’ve read that they aren’t reliable but I’d rather ask an owner: is it reliable? Because I don’t wanna fall into the endless cycle of constantly giving it maintenance
My 2015 Renegade Trailhawk is six years old with 73,000 miles on it and it has been completely trouble-free so far. No squeaks or rattles. It still looks and works as new.
@@jerroldshelton9367 well that’s good to know thanks for your reply! Because I think they’re really nice looking cars and who doesn’t want a vehicle that can go anywhere
@@BigBroccoli_ I think they're kind of cool looking, too. As for "going anywhere," mine will take me down MOST of the trails I've historically run, and generally do it without much fuss or drama. There are a few trails I've historically run that my Renegade has no business being on but didn't phase the TJ I used to have. I wouldn't try to get to Wheeler Lake in Colorado in it. I'd likely not do 3N10 John Bull Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest in Southern California, either. Getting "low range" as my Renegade Trailhawk does, with a 4.8:1 first gear and 4.33:1 final drives instead of a transfer case works okay most of the time but it's not without a drawback. I have the same 20:1 crawl ratio my dad's old Bronco II got via 2.42:1 first gear in it's automatic trans, 2.42:1 low range and 3.42:1 final drives. But he got that in reverse, too, whereas I don't. My "low range" is only low enough going forward. But it's a small price to pay for getting around 30 mpg on long highway stretches. I should add, too, that I wouldn't be happy with this vehicle in any other trim but the Trailhawk model with it's better ground clearance, gearing, and approach, departure, and breakover angles. But I'm getting mine dirty pretty much every weekend in getting to fly fishing or quail hunting spots, so I have a frequent use for the car's off pavement capability. It's nice to have the on demand awd on the street, too, which all Renegades can have.
@@jerroldshelton9367 thanks for the info! I just need something that will be able to drive on the beaches in florida and down some decent trails without getting stuck and still retaining solid mpg and not too many problems, I appriciate it :)
Hey guys. I need some help...i got financing approved on a 2015 jeep renegade latitude. They want 15,900 for it. It only has 19,000 miles. Is it worth it or should I just walk away?
The reason the comments are bad is because the Renegade is a hoodwink. The Jeep Renegade is not a Jeep. Fiat purchased Chrysler. Fiat is junk and their cars don't sell in America anymore so they will probably be pulling out of America. Fiat cars, not the Chrysler. As a way to trick people into buying their cars they built a Fiat and put the Jeep name on it. It's a Fiat motor, Fiat transmission, Fiat chassis, and electrical. It is the SAME as the Fiat 500 but your going to pay more for it. Research the number of owners who's transmissions went out within 30,000 miles. It is INSANE!!! Research the number of owners who's motors went out within 40,000 miles! Fiat motors and trans are known for being junk. The Fiat cars are VERY hard to keep on the road cause they keep breaking down. That's why Americans do not buy them and they are going to pull the Fiat cars out of America. The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 500! Do the math. If you have one, get rid of it before you are put in a VERY bad position. I am so tired of meeting a person who's Fiat broke down again, they are broke and the repairs are a fortune! It's so bad they are not even worth fixing and I have to tell my customer that! I have seen a number of owners cry over it. I feel so bad for them. We helped three people out with getting a good car so they could back and fourth to school or work. Every time I tell them about the Renegade they say they had no idea! Don't bring me your Renegade so I have to tell you your motor is going out or your transmission is going out and your car is junk. They will never stop breaking down. Go get a Toyota or a Honda. They both perform very well. We see them a lot in the shop and they are very well built. NEVER buy a Chrysler product!!
Whatever happened to y'alls resident chemist? She kinda balanced the channels out having a girl on there plus she seemed like she was just about to get going with her own sort of Engineering Explained type of segment which I was personally excited to see as an addition to the whole TFL lineup. Y'all should consider bringing her back!
say Jeep on it and makes the line up look better yall hate is kinda fishy I think you wanted one at some point and your conflicted about it, it's okay bro there awesome
Why so many negative comments? If you don’t like the Renegade, why watch it? I love my Renegade, best compact SUV by far in my opinion.
I have one and it is the worst vehicle i ever had. I cant wait to turn in this piece of junk when the lease is up.
TDrew 3 We are watching for research purposes...obviously.
Renegade Squad 🤙🏻
Well everyone has they’re opinions and I respect that, but trashing it because it’s not a wrangler or because it’s made in Italy, if it wasn’t for Fiat, Chrysler probably wouldn’t be a brand. I’m thankful for the Renegade it’s a really capable and affordable compact SUV.
I trashed the vehicle here in the comments because the car IS TRASH. I leased a 2015 jeep renegade latitude. The problems I had with it starting at 7,000 miles were ridiculous and never happened to me on cars that I drove for 120k and btw, most people that I have spoken to online have said this car is a piece of shit as well. If you don't have any problems with this vehicle then you are very lucky. I had this thing at the dealership 8 times for malfunctions and parts wear (wheel bearing at 22k miles!) over the course of the last 14 months that I had it. I got fed up and finally turned the car in EARLY by 5 months because I did not want to have the car past the warranty period because I didnt want to pay out of my own pocket for new problems. I had no problem paying off the last 5 payments to have peace of mind. 39 month 36k miles lease and I turned it in with 29k miles. GOOD RIDDANCE!
It took some time to fall in love with it but it grew on me! My renegade is wonderful bought a 2018 in july its got 12000 miles already and has been to at least 6 states from Phoenix to Chicago!!
I don’t know if you would see my comment
But tell me if you still have it
If there are some issues
Have you had any mechanical issues with it?
Hey how did it go with the renegade? 6 years later? Would you still suggest getting one?
Bought our Renegade 3 months ago. It's an affordable vehicle that does great off road. We live near the Cascade Mountains. Does great over the passes and on dirt and snow trails up there. Whoever says it doesn't drive great off road is simply wrong.
4x4 fiat punto
@@justenzo6342 actually 500l. And my salesman told me only the trailhawk is somewhat capable
@@jeepjoseph9036 They are. The 500I is on the same platform as the Punto
@@justenzo6342 oh sorry I didn't know
7 years in, how is it doing? Any transmission or engine issues?
I like mine I have the 2015 Latitude 6 speed 1.4 turbo. Good gas mileage. Easy to park. I added the full size spare and slush mats. I’ve never had any probs with it. But I am saving for a Wrangler. I want the Willy’s model
Patty O'Grady I love mine too it's yellow oooww
I like these Renegades definitely the best compact CUV available.
the gas mileage sucks balls. I had one. The transmission is a 9 speed transmisison which never really feels comfortable and it's always busy looking for a gear. It has absolutely no torque off the line, which is important for an off road vehicle. The engine and the tranny reminds me of riding my old 2 stroke dirt bike when I was a kid, you always had to keep the engine " on the pipe" so to speak . Really weird car and let us n ot forget that this car is based on anothe fiat model which is another delicate piece of garbage , the fiat 500x. This is not even a borderline off road vehicle. If you take it off road enough you'll find out.
How many miles?
Patty O'Grady You still have it? I’m looking in to buying one but I hear many have had electrical problems with them. How’s yours holding up? Is the 6speed fun to drive around?
It's obviously a city driver, with off road "capabilities" all the traditional jeep fans are confused, that's the reason for all the hate, me, i want one
I test drove one back in 2015 to use as a city car and it was the worst vehicle I test drove. It handled poorly on road I could see the interior vibrate at idle and the engine sounded like an old diesel. Maybe it was just that engine option but I’d never recommend buying one and it scared me away from looking at anything else at Jeep.
@@JSchroederee I have a 2017 and it has the 2.4 tiger shark motor. The worst 4 cylinder engine I ever drove. I to replace it with a subaru impreza compact sedan with a Manuel transmission. I just need a daily driver that's good on gas and good in the snow. I have a full size pickup and I only drive it on week ends. This my daily driver
Brian Robbins 👍Subaru manuals rock! I’ve loved my 2016 wrx, although there have been a few times I’d trade the extra WRX HP+ for the Crostrek XV ground clearance.
It's still just a rebadged Fiat 500x. Next.
Unless its a th it's a joke
reliability question should be raised after 3y. That would be the perfect time for comments.
How about after six years? My 2015 Renegade Trailhawk has 73,000 totally trouble-free miles on it. No squeaks or rattles. Still looks and works as new. Mine has been fantastic.
I bought my 2018 Renegade Sport, 1.4 turbo and 6 speed manual in September of 2018. The only thing I have done so far is regularly scheduled maintenance, 1 set of tires. Very happy with it's performance and reliability. Currently at 52, 225 miles. Would not worry about taking it anywhere. Nothing loose or falling off and no squeaks or rattles. Ride is somewhat harsh on rough roads, but it is a Jeep.
My 2017 Trailhawk works perfectly fine. Use it as my daily driver & have been off roading with no issues on the T33 crash trail, Kelly Flats and several other medium trails in Colorado. Currently getting 28 mpg HWY on my 54 mile round trip commute with larger A/T tires.
robinsonmac how slow do you drive to get that kind of MPG?
Still got your trailhawk? How's it holding up now?
No, have a Gladiator now.
Ordered a red one yesterday, but had 1 problem..the versions and packs..just couldn't find it exactly like i wanted.
Now i ordered a standard sport and will add my own flavour to it, in- and exteriorwise there's luckily so many mods and stuff to be found, which i find is a major plus for this brand/model.
I can still do anything with it and won't break the bank adding things on it later on..awesome!
Just loved it from the start, won't even look at anything else nomore :)
Love my Renegade. The Latitude trim is the best middle ground offers a lot of options without getting crazy expensive
for a year I have owned a renegade trailhawk in Mojave sand and always get complimented on the color. I love this little jeep, its small and nimble, the turn radius is crazy small. As far as reliability we had a problem with a cupeling for the rear end but the dealership replaced the whole unit after trying to fix it twice. those early days of ownership were not fun but it hasn't been in the shop since then. I got the comfort package with electric driver seat, dual climate, remote start and I would definitely recommend this package. This is my wife's daily driver but I drive it any chance I get. It has a fun factor. I also have a weekend worrier '90 grand wagoneer that I love as well. my plan is to buy a JL in the coming years for my daily.
Philablasta Yellow here everyone loves it there only jokes on the Internet, in person it's only envy
Philablasta I
Mind if I ask how it has treated you since? Looking at buying a 2017 Deserthawk real soon
Thinking about getting this car and replacing my 2008 ford escape. I like boxy, small. compact SUV's. I live in LA and this seems like a great all-around car. Especially in LA where there are so many potholes, narrow streets, etc.
I just bought a blue trailhawk and I love it.
We have a 2016 trail hawk which has 40 kmiles on it. My wife has never been more confident driving in cold weather . The 2.4 is what you want . Lots of torque. If you want manual shift just use the buttons on the steering wheel. The 4 low lock makes you do things never possible in such a small package . I'm 6' and 225 lbs. Lots of room , comfy and easy to get in and out ...
My only complaint would be that My vehicle is a Dodge 1500 Eco diesel 4x4 . Fuel mileage is about the same ... 30 Canadian mpg
I have the 2015 Trailhawk and i love everything about it. I absolutely love the 9 speed transmission. Its super smooth on the freeways. I've towed a Little Guy 6x10 wide teardrop camper on the back worth ease. Take off is a little slow but hey it's a 4 cylinder 4wd. But you'll get used to it fast. When i first test drove the renegade. I was disappointed in the power, but after awhile, you learn to appreciate it because of the gas savings
How is the car now ?
Still got the trailhawk? How's it holding up now?
I have a 2016 trailhawk original owner. 105000 miles and no issues.
Have an 18 Upland edition with 85,000 miles so far. No problems other than oil consumption which seems to have been fixed with a recent recall
Love the Club Atlético River Plate (CARP) cap. Took my a while until I realized it.
Rain sensing wipers? Really? If you're too stupid to not see the rain without sensors, I don't think you are capable of being behind the wheel in the first place.
In well less than 2 years I've had 4 major problems with this curse of a car. Here are the problems I've had in the order I got them in. 1) Ignition could 1 failure, causing my car to jump often, 2) major engine leakage causing my car to STOP in the middle of the road often, they put in a BRAND NEW engine. 3) Radiator fan issue, causing my car to over heat and getting my car towed. Issue 4) check engine light has come on, car has a torque issue and can barley drive. Keep in mind this car was purchased as a NEW car! It only has 53,000 miles on it. Don't buy this car from any dealership especially this one. If you do, I hope you remember these words and I hope you don't live in regret. I'm making payments on a car that is usually in the shop and paying for rental cars.
What year and version did you have? How rough di
d you treat the vehicle (example : going through mud, water excetra)? I assume you periodically checked fluids.
I find it difficult to believe your story .. but then you may have bought a second hand wreck .
@@lakshmandalpadado9066 I understand why you'd think that but it was definitely a brand new car and the story is 100% true but I don't really need to elaborate any further lol
I have a 2018 loaded latitude and I love it , it’s absolutely amazing For my age group it’s was my first 0 miles car and so far I’m pretty empress it’s handles well it’s nice and Smooth and it’s great on gas in my opinion
Best car I’ve driven in ages, could not believe just how economic it was
Axnfell which model do you drive petrol or diesel
I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade bought new last year with 9 speed transmission. Haven't had any problems yet.
I saw a used Latitude 2015, 40k miles for $13,900. I think I want to go for it. 4wd will be awesome in the Indiana winter snow.
Love my Jeep Renegade... Can do almost everything while still looking Urban not afraid to a Off Road and driving in lotsa snow in Canada. 😊💃💛
We have a 2019 Renegade Sport 2.4 front drive with on the go 4x4 selection and love it, not a bad little Jeep, we have a built 05 Rubicon so definitely not new to Jeeps
I'm seeing 2015ish renegade trailhawks with most the bonus features and around 50k miles go for as little as 15k and it seems to me like a significant price drop and I'm perplexed as to why.
I got a 2016 1.4 T manual 4x4 75th anniversary, a special edition not longer available. It’s basically a latitude with 18” inches wheels and my sky roof. As today I would get an Altitude with the same engine. I really like it with the black 18” wheels. Also the car drives much better than the 16” wheels. It’s feels solid. So far not issues, it’s perfect when I drive it in Manhattan and easy to park, it is very spacious for the dimensions and in the snow it’s really good as well.
Wait until you go to replace those 18 inch tires. It will make you want to cry. People the larger the tire the more they cost to replace. Keep that in mind when you buy any vehicle.
Say what you like about the renegade but there are not many cars in it's class that go off road like it does
exactly if it's your daily driver and the weather gets bad your golden, simple and sweet love mine
Joey Ricco I know FCA is not really known for it's good reliability but I haven't seen many people complain about the renegade. Besides people who have never driven it and hate it because it shares the same platform with the Fiat 500X. They always find something bad to say.
Joey Ricco Well I don't think that you know what you are saying man. Before FCA got the brand Jeep was going straight to bankruptcy. It only sold vehicles in North America and now it sells internationally. Also all of their vehicles are in the top 10 most bought in their segment.
Joey Ricco So you agree with me when I'm saying that if FCA did anything to Jeep, it was making it better.
A friend of mine has one and he hasn’t had any issues with it. Majority of cars have reliability issues, it’s the auto companies that’s building them too fast. My opinion.
Just got a used 2015 trailhawk. I'm getting 17mpg city. Looks like previous owner took care of it but in 2021 he did about $1900 in repairs, mostly electrical and reprogramming. He had a evap system leak repair. 2022 looked like he only had problems with the transmitter for the key fobs, he had that fixed. Other than that 2022 looked good. Not sure if I made the right decision getting this renegade but I guess I'll have to find out.
Also is it normal to replace the air/engine filters every service? From the paperwork looks like he had the filters replaced every time, which looked like every 4000-5000 miles.
That's what I do with my 2015 Renegade Trailhawk. A Jeep store near me does a deal where you buy 2 oil and filter changes and get a third one for free and that includes air filters and tire rotation. Oh, and they wash and wax it when their done, too!
@jerroldshelton9367 I wish a jeep store near me did some kind of deal like that.
Update: After 1 yr of owning this jeep I can say I like it but hate it at the same time. Spent just about $3k in 2023 fixing the jeep up. Evap problem again was the biggest, replaced multiple parts. TSB flash reset, my engine was randomly cutting out for abt 3 weeks and only dealership can do flash. reset. AC sucction/discharge hose burned some how, replaced. I change oil about every 3,000miles cus around that I start getting dashboard messages of low oil pressure.
Current problem squeeking noise and I think its serpentine belt but not sure yet. Hoping 2024 gets better cus if not I just might have to get rid of it.
@@chazzicili3244 Well, I hope 2024 is a happier Renegade year for you and your Trailhawk.
When I start needing to sink money into mine to keep it working like it is supposed to, I don't think parting with it is going to be an option for me.
What else WAS there on the market that was exactly like the Renegade Trailhawk and what is there now after the thing has been discontinued in North America?
Where else am I going to get Renegade Trailhawk off-pavement capability and highway mpg? What else is out there having the Renegade Trailhawk's exterior dimensions and off-pavement capability along with it's useful interior room? What other contemporary vehicle has the same sight lines as the Renegade Trailhawk?
To me, the Renegade Trailhawk was unique enough to be something special because it simply "ticks the right boxes" better than any modern vehicle does.
There just isn't anything else quite like it and there's nothing new I'd rather have than the Renegade Trailhawk I've already got.
To me, it is not replaceable. The only thing I'd consider replacing it with is a brand-new 1986=1987 Bronco II or another Renegade Trailhawk.
@jerroldshelton9367 Thank you, hopefully so and I'm hoping it goes well. Part of the reason I got it cus there was nothing else on the market within my price range and this is a unique vehicle (now it says I'm getting 20mpg) and it can do off roading enough for me to get to new grounds for fishing. That's why I like this vehicle but at the same time it's eating away at my wallet and giving me a headache. Hopefully after these repairs it's just regular maintenance.
I don't understand why all the hate on this little Jeep? I drove my sisters Limited around while she came to visit. It wasn't bad. Was it as capable as my TRD offroad Tacoma, no. But you have to look at the target demographic. First time new buyers or first time suv buyers. It does appeal mostly to women, there for not going to be offroading much with this other than gravel, or the occasional fireroad. The awd system will get you to work and the shops safely in bad weather. It's small and nimble. Mpg was 30' s on the highway, mid 20' s in town. As far as I know she has not had any problems with it in 50k plus miles. Is it a wrangled wannabe no. But is a decent little suv.
How many Wranglers ever go off road? Most of them are mall crawlers... I got a Renegade for its good mileage and for bad weather driving in suburbia (I also have a convertible I drive in the summer, the Renegade replaced a 2005 Liberty Renegade). Do I want a Wrangler Rubicon? Sure, but it would be too expensive and use way too much gas. I didn't let my ego get in the way of a smart decision. My only regret is that the newer UConnect system is nicer (saw it in the 2018 Compass) and has some better phone integration features.
Most of those commenting that it isn't a 'real' Jeep also don't understand that Jeep can't survive selling only Wranglers, they have to appeal to different niches in the market.
I have a 2019 Renegade Limited in Solar Yellow. Best car I have owned. No repairs or problems since purchase. Previous cars I have owned in chronological order -- Alfa Romeo Alfasud, Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce ( 1983) , Audi Coupe, VW Pollo, ( 1990) Toyota Corsa,(1995) Mercedes CLK 200 Coupe (1997) Mercedes E220cdi ( 1998) , Volvo XC60 AWD D5(2011)- The two Mercedes gave me the most number of problems and repairs, followed by the Volvo.
How many miles you got on it so far?
When the Fiat 500 shows up to the costume party
Great job Tommy! It might be worth pinning a comment that this applies to up to the 2017 models. The 2018's haven't been released yet, as they're getting a little mid-cycle refresh with all new Uconnect units, glass roof option, and some other expected tweaks.
Thats exciting to hear!
Forward collision warning is definitely good to have, imo.
I just got a 2018 Jeep renegade. I have no problem with it drives smooth
I would love for you guys to do a video on all the different drives systems that Jeep offers and how they differ in off-road capability.
Hi, I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4 lt engine the Latitude edition for $19,000 I added the Gap and 5 year or 60 thou miles it ended up costing me $23,000 I just love it I’ve had it about 4 days now and, it’s pretty good on Gas ⛽️ but, mine is a 5 speed manual on the lady side with an automatic on the right side roof rack black cool rims 🍎Apple play touch screen with a bunch of other goodies I think I got a great deal!🤗
We had a renegade for a while.. it’s definitely better in looks and ability then any other of the shitty mini SUV’s jeep made lol we liked it
I have a Renegade and I love it. Yes, I live in the city. Yes, I don't go off-roading except for weekend trips. Who cares? This thing does it all- quick trips, easy parking, camping on the weekends. What Jeep do you drag race with? NONE- who cares if it can't win pink slips in races, Tokyo Drift?
I have a jeep wrangler sport, and my boyfriend has a jeep renegade. His renegade sits lower than the wrangler, but drives much smoother. They're both nice vehicles. living in Miami there's no reason for offroading capabilities, however I do love having a soft top to get a nice tan while sitting in traffic.
Sean Snyder put on sunscreen. You’ll be tanning for hours with that Miami traffic.
Thank you for all the good info and comps. I haven't driven one of these yet as I just discovered them today but I want to test drive one in any color but will buy one in Colorado Red. That was my favorite color of one of my Jeeps in 1994. Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I hope the shade of the color has not changed. Also, I am looking for a 2018 and am not sure which Jeep you are demoing but what a great job you have done especially since there is little info out there on these except for voiceless walk-a-rounds.
2.4L does not have enough power to use the BLD, without a true low range, which the Renegade does not have. I had a 2.4L Cherokee for a few years and ran into this problem, so I upgraded to a Trailhawk, for this and other reasons.
In Brazil or at least São Paulo is absolutely FILLED with renegades and I truly agree that its not a truly off-road vehicle it just has some capabilities
I just bought a 2017 trailhawlk. This is my first Jeep that’s why I got it but down the road I know I am going to go bigger.
Hey I just saw this video. I have a 2019 Jeep Renegade that I bout in 2019 brand new and it a Sports trim with the power MySkyview so the Sport does come with the power my sky view. Just to let u know.
I bought two 2016 trailhawk models fully loaded. One has 27,000 miles and has never had a single problem. I wish the fuel tank was a little larger and I wish the beats stereo system was a little better, but other than that they are pretty awesome and lots of fun to drive. Off road they are very maneuverable because of their size and smaller wheel base. Definitely get the Trailhawk if you plan on going off-roading and if you live in cold climates get the cold weather package with the heated leather seats! Also, there are three skidplates underneath that are very tough on the Trailhawk model and will they protect you when going over rocks or getting buried in the mud.
I have seen two tear old ones needing all of the AC lines needing to be replaced, and you have to remove the whole front of the car to do it.
I like all these compact suvs. This Renegade and the EcoSport are my favorites so far. I've owned Fords and I've owned Fiats. I like them both. This video only made my decision more difficult! Lol Thank you for the great info!!
The Renegade is getting a 7" U Connect screen next spring. We're waiting for official photos from FCA soon. The Melfi assembly line should be producing the 2018s after New Year's Day 2018.
I just got mine yesterday so far I really like it 🥰
Thanks for all the info! I am currently looking to purchase a used renegade. I am down sizing from a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo , with 198 thousand miles on it....So your tips will help greatly! How many miles do you think one can get out of a renegade?
I'm in love with my renegade I take it everywhere I love my little car
you guys get told this all the time, but if you have to read all these numbers out of your notes, then why not put the numbers on the screen for your viewers? sometimes it's like you post 10 minutes of video with the audio consisting entirely of strings of hundreds of numbers and abbreviations non stop. visuals help. imagine watching a game where all they did was read off stats without displaying any.
coelho sports I agree.
Also, how are you going to talk about electronic dual sunroofs without showing them opening and closing? I’m still trying to figure out where they go....
i have a 2017 limited. had it almost a year now. i haven't had any issues with it thus far, so far i have put close to 13k miles on it. if you are looking for a real off road car do not get a renegade. it handles fine in the snow and down some dirt or gravel roads; and it works well for pulling dirt bikes or motorcycles and hauling kayaks to the river but i wouldn't take it down a real trail. this is a fairly cheap 4x4 and is normally going to be used as a daily driver. fuel efficiency is mediocre, i average 25 to 27 MPG but that is almost twice what i had on my 2009 Jeep Wrangle JK sport. the Renegade has a lot of gimmicky features and some nice things that come standard, overall i would give it a 7/10.
How’s your fuel consumption so far with JeepRenegade
Like Km/L or Mpg ( Miles per Gallon)
I would like to see you guys try the Renegade 1.4 turbo 4 X4 manual and see how that does versus the Trailhawk Renegade
Thanks for the information....looking to purchase the Latitude. Hope I make the right choice. (:
I bought a jeep renegade last year and it has a 2.4L 4X4 with a 9 speed automatic transmission, it's the sport model. So I think you get different packages in different areas of US. I'm in Texas, maybe that's why the Sport I got comes with what the jeep latitude has standard?
I have a 2015 sport basic. It’s great, only has 36,000 miles on it. Got it brand new. Looking to trade in for a better model. Maybe the latitude.
I was driving behind a Renegade today and it conked out at the traffic light. Oh well.
I love my trail hawk renegade she’s an amazing being = ]
It's surprising how many people have no clue where this vehicle is built. As the joke says, "Why do Italians make such comfortable shoes?? They have to walk a lot because their cars are crap!"
I don't own one, but I will buy one if I needed a compact SUV with off road capabilities. I like that it is manufactured by Fiat.
Xavier Lemos did someone just pay you to say that?!?
Fiat vehicles are bad enough
Fiats have a bad rap here in the US, but this may be be the exception. I don’t see many complaints here. Better than Ford with their DC transmissions and engines with interior coolant leaks.
At about 3:50 you say that the 4WD Low just locks it in 1st. This is not correct. I even paused the video and took my Trailhawk for a test drive to verify. It definitely shifts while in low range. I have owned mine for over 2 1/2 years and it has around 40K miles on it. The only time it has had to go to the dealer was because a local tire shop broke an air pressure sensor. A couple of months after I bought it, I drove it to Calispell Peak in Washington State ( www.dangerousroads.org/north-america/usa/8546-calispell-peak.html ) on the stock Goodyear passenger tires. It had no problems. I did decide to upgrade the tires to BFG KO2's after that trip. It does great during snow storms too.
Used to own the Trailhawk model. It's a cool little car with good mpg for 4WD, with rugged exterior and stylish interior, but I think mine got dropped on its head in the factory. A year into ownership the transmission started to slip. Acceleration can be sluggish. The front touchscreen stopped working and the cup holder lights went out.(If you buy this car make sure it's under warranty). Besides that I had fun driving this car to Colorado for the mountain views.
Little back story, this vehicle is technically an American/Italian fusion. This vehicle is manufactured in Melfi, Italy alongside the Fiat 500. Fiat bought Chrysler January 21st 2014.
If you're looking for a reliable Jeep buy an older Wrangler or Cherokee with low miles, (I used to own a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee) or buy a Toyota 4runner. They are easy to work on, retain their resell value, and fun to mod. Currently own an 08 Toyota FJ. Happy trailing.
Are you a River Plate fan?
Recién me doy cuenta! Aguante argentina!!
Why about reliability over all? How long does this car seem to last? Is maintenance an issue?
@F__h_n h What do you mean by this haha? I feel like I could take this statement could be taken either way. Does it have good reliability or not?
Ive worked on a bunch of Renegades there junk unreliable fiat
Thanks a lot for the video it's very helpful, quick question do you know where is the location of the AWD sensor? Please help me All wheel drive Sensor location feel Renegade 2015. 🙏
Thank you for the info we have a latitude fwd with the power group option.
Ooooh.....I like my goodies... 😆
We have the Limited in Misfit Bluish/Purple....w/ the Zombie editions... meaning we got the label for the trunk at Walking Dead store in Georgia and put a bunch of punk rock stickers on the back glass...🤙
Can you please help me my uconnect screen is black nothing works what can I do. I am a woman and I dont wanted to overpay 😓 I bought my lease ...what can I do
I understand that this review is being conducted in the US, but I do think it's a little ignorant to not mention the 2.0L Multijet Diesel that is available in the UK and EU, it's incredibly frustrating trying to find a review of these models.
I think it's because diesel models generally aren't offered in the US.
We rented a Renegade Trail-hawk and drove it from Sacramento to Death Valley- The seats become uncomfortable after about 4 hours on the pavement, the automatic transmission was frustrating, our engine had an occasional flat-spot when accelerating, the narrow track slightly lifted Fiat felt tippy cornering on the street however, the little guy did well on the moderate trails in the park and it could hold a lot in the back. As much as we wanted to like the little guy, we decided to restore an old XJ instead.

@@cowmath77 After the park service grades saline valley road or Titus Canyon road that's quite possible - but weather can degrade them in just a few years. Other trails do require a lifted jeep though
Renegde i'ts a more fiat than a pure jeep - if you want a bargain car quite ok for a offroad(but not extreme offroad)buy a Dacia Duster 1,5 dci 4x4 - Duster it's not "mercedes G/Lancruiser", nor a luxury car... but it's reliable and it has by far the best attack and approach angles in crossover's class
You forgot to say the 8.4 inch touch screen dispaly cause mine has one
Nice job with the wealth of information
While I appreciate the intent of this video, don't take it too seriously as info, options, pricing, packages, trim levels, etc. may change at any time. And they very likely have already.
can it CAN IT... pull kayaks as a tow? is the question or pull a small camping set up
No there's not even a frame in back to mount one
Can’t wait to get my renegade
What about the north edition? That what I have??
Why is my book saying That the engines come in 2.4 and 1.3 turbo
Anvil trailhawk the 4wd drive works best in auto mode sence its a awd till 30 mph
how is it with accidents? I was just in a bad one with my 2012 grand Cherokee and was thinking about getting a renegade as my new one?
Throwback, booyah 👊😁👍🇺🇲
hey guys the other day i spotted a camouflaged ROLLS ROYCE SUV in testing!! do you guys have any info on that?
Like the jeep but no 2.4 with standard? Nice Chrysler.
I’m gonna be moving to the city soon (Austin, if you can’t tell by my profile picture), and I’m considering a 2017 Renegade Latitude, it’s black on black with black rims, I’m fairly excited about testing it out, I think it looks the least “cute-ish” I kinda wanted the regular suv styling without the big size and price, thanks for this vid! Definitely gonna help with my decision
I waited 16 minutes for this guy to take a breath and he never did. Legend says he's still breathlessly talking to this day.
Zachry Diehl best comment on here!!
Breathes through ears
River Plate, the best team of Argentina 👍🏻👏🏻
how the H is trailhawk going to be the trail rated off road version when it can even fit off road tires?! there are no off road tires that fit its stock 17 inch wheels!
Hey Tommy, are you wearing a cap from the Argentine River Plate Soccer team?
Can you guys make a video of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 please for poor people like me!!!!. I just bought one, is beautiful. But I would like to see someone making a video of it, how far it will get on mine hill or at least just to try it out!!!!
I’ve read that they aren’t reliable but I’d rather ask an owner: is it reliable? Because I don’t wanna fall into the endless cycle of constantly giving it maintenance
My 2015 Renegade Trailhawk is six years old with 73,000 miles on it and it has been completely trouble-free so far. No squeaks or rattles. It still looks and works as new.
@@jerroldshelton9367 well that’s good to know thanks for your reply! Because I think they’re really nice looking cars and who doesn’t want a vehicle that can go anywhere
@@BigBroccoli_ I think they're kind of cool looking, too. As for "going anywhere," mine will take me down MOST of the trails I've historically run, and generally do it without much fuss or drama. There are a few trails I've historically run that my Renegade has no business being on but didn't phase the TJ I used to have. I wouldn't try to get to Wheeler Lake in Colorado in it. I'd likely not do 3N10 John Bull Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest in Southern California, either.
Getting "low range" as my Renegade Trailhawk does, with a 4.8:1 first gear and 4.33:1 final drives instead of a transfer case works okay most of the time but it's not without a drawback.
I have the same 20:1 crawl ratio my dad's old Bronco II got via 2.42:1 first gear in it's automatic trans, 2.42:1 low range and 3.42:1 final drives. But he got that in reverse, too, whereas I don't. My "low range" is only low enough going forward.
But it's a small price to pay for getting around 30 mpg on long highway stretches.
I should add, too, that I wouldn't be happy with this vehicle in any other trim but the Trailhawk model with it's better ground clearance, gearing, and approach, departure, and breakover angles. But I'm getting mine dirty pretty much every weekend in getting to fly fishing or quail hunting spots, so I have a frequent use for the car's off pavement capability.
It's nice to have the on demand awd on the street, too, which all Renegades can have.
@@jerroldshelton9367 thanks for the info! I just need something that will be able to drive on the beaches in florida and down some decent trails without getting stuck and still retaining solid mpg and not too many problems, I appriciate it :)
Got just got a used 2016 trailhawk, & like it so far!..... What's with the video edit @ 12:18??
Hey guys. I need some help...i got financing approved on a 2015 jeep renegade latitude. They want 15,900 for it. It only has 19,000 miles. Is it worth it or should I just walk away?
The reason the comments are bad is because the Renegade is a hoodwink. The Jeep Renegade is not a Jeep. Fiat purchased Chrysler. Fiat is junk and their cars don't sell in America anymore so they will probably be pulling out of America. Fiat cars, not the Chrysler. As a way to trick people into buying their cars they built a Fiat and put the Jeep name on it. It's a Fiat motor, Fiat transmission, Fiat chassis, and electrical. It is the SAME as the Fiat 500 but your going to pay more for it. Research the number of owners who's transmissions went out within 30,000 miles. It is INSANE!!! Research the number of owners who's motors went out within 40,000 miles! Fiat motors and trans are known for being junk. The Fiat cars are VERY hard to keep on the road cause they keep breaking down. That's why Americans do not buy them and they are going to pull the Fiat cars out of America. The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 500! Do the math. If you have one, get rid of it before you are put in a VERY bad position. I am so tired of meeting a person who's Fiat broke down again, they are broke and the repairs are a fortune! It's so bad they are not even worth fixing and I have to tell my customer that! I have seen a number of owners cry over it. I feel so bad for them. We helped three people out with getting a good car so they could back and fourth to school or work. Every time I tell them about the Renegade they say they had no idea! Don't bring me your Renegade so I have to tell you your motor is going out or your transmission is going out and your car is junk. They will never stop breaking down. Go get a Toyota or a Honda. They both perform very well. We see them a lot in the shop and they are very well built. NEVER buy a Chrysler product!!
So is it awd or selectable 4wd little confused
Do more with that IH scout. Those things are fantastic!
I told him that last week, but apparently he doesn't care!
More to come! stay tuned to tfltruck
Whatever happened to y'alls resident chemist? She kinda balanced the channels out having a girl on there plus she seemed like she was just about to get going with her own sort of Engineering Explained type of segment which I was personally excited to see as an addition to the whole TFL lineup. Y'all should consider bringing her back!
He doesn’t want to say it’s unreliable.
It's a FIAT, that makes it too obvious to mention.
say Jeep on it and makes the line up look better yall hate is kinda fishy I think you wanted one at some point and your conflicted about it, it's okay bro there awesome
"there awesome" -- What's awesome there?
I have a Trailhawk for 6 month and 9K miles on it. The only visit to the dealer was for the oil and filter change so far.
I'm very happy with it.
