2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon EcoDiesel | What I love and hate about this off-roader 

I have an EcoDiesel Wrangler Willys, and it is great on road and off road. I don't know why people repeat automatically that it is not a good daily driver whenever they try to review it. Yes, JK was not that good on the pavement but the JL is pretty good on the pavement.

Great vid. Awesome lid. Amazing that Montreal Expos still exists as a past brand.

Really nice review!

Love the Montreal Expos hat!

Solid review brother

Thanks for sharing.

It’s $6,000 more because of the transmission. I just ordered a 2021 EcoDiesel Gladiator.

Bro i love your cap !!

Hey or really anyone here. You own a diesel JLU, and I'm currently completely torn on the purchase of the diesel vs alt options. I'm not here to ask you should I get the vehicle, but more so, how has your experience been when it comes to finding diesel in remote places? How big of a concern is that for you, and if it is a concern how are you overcoming this?

Jeep messed up when It did not give an option for a manual transmission in the Diesel Jeep (USA market). We need a manual transmission for the Diesel Jeep

$64k is laughably ridiculous

Skip the sliding 4000 roof, the leather, the wheels, steel bumpers and a lot of other things and it drops the price where it might be bearable. Yes I am getting the Sahara with the diesel but without all the added items which I have no use for. 8 spd transmission is needed because the majority of buyers want that. Maybe in the future but who knows. My JGC which is a 14 with the Ecodiesel has gotten as much as 33 mpg and as low as 22 but on the average around 27-28 mixed driving. This thing should get 30 mpg and unless you keep it 200K miles you will never get the payback over the gas engine. So what most of us diesel guys don't buy the diesel for fuel economy but for range. I would expect this to go 500 miles easy before fill ups. You are spot on about FCA having just about the best HMI with the controls and displays. Worst has to be Honda and Toyota of which I own and have owned.

Can you feel the weight of the diesel engine? I want the eco-diesel but thats a lot more weight upfront with that engine. Also, any regrets getting the power top?

I am surprised that you didn't mention the problem with the very, but very, slow front windshield defroster; which, btw, does not defrost it in its entirety! Jeep must fix this asap! Especially for the sake of buyers/users in cold climates.

Handles everything I'm throwing at it: dirt road

Love the hat!

When will the delete be available

Nice

Question: what's the payload/towing capacity for the JLU now that it has the ecodeisel?

Coming from a jk the on-road manners of these is night and day in comparison. I can’t believe how much better my 21 diesel drives than my 16 Sahara.

A Plug in Hybrid and one with a 392 HEMI is coming

Damn!!! I need a diesel engine that gets good GAS mileage!!!! I've apparently been f-ing up!

G wagon couldn’t do 1/4 of this but ya you’re right really no true competition

0:54mins "Petrol" 🤙✊😎

How reliable are these eco Diesel engines by Jeep/ Fiat? I need some reference b4 I even consider buying I keep all my vehcles over 200K, not a poseur that gets Jeeps every few years.

Just not convinced about the long term (6+ years) of Jeep's diesel engine.

Go ahead and try and take that roof off. The manufacturer states its not recommended to remove that top.

The new Bronco is going to hurt Wrangler sales but, Bronco doesn't have the long term reliability yet.

50% of msrp in options 🤑 😖 ... $6k more. The auto spec'd for the diesel is a (forced) $2k option on top of the $4k for the diesel engine. The auto for the gas motors is $1500. The diesel engine needs to be talked about as a package w/the transmission; a $6k package.

Up until 2017 Jeep has made the worst infotainment system on the wranglers I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s makes me F*cking scream

The hood goes all the way to the windshield, just be careful!!

It should have been a four cylinder diesel with half as much torque (which would be plenty) and twice as many miles per gallon, but alas, the vehicle manufacturers are in bed with big oil and don't want it to be too efficient. Ps - I seriously hope the mustache is sarcastic.

Seems like this Wrangler is loaded with everything except a manual transmission.

You lost your 'stash 15:22

If they have to change the body to a more aero dynamic shape then it won’t be a Jeep, it’ll be a Yeep 😬

How about the $200+ oil changes or $75 diesel fuel filter needed every 20k miles. Or any mods are gotta clear a whole extra network of diesel systems. The Jeep Diesel is a hard pass for me.

Before tax too :$

Better miles per gallon! Let's avoid the term gas mileage, since it's a diesel: Diesel mileage :))

For the new Super Bowl ad with Bruce, it isn't good enough. Not unless Cialis, Stialto or whatever the hell the Companiy's name is brings back a newer version of those two Jeeps with the same quality AND PRICE. And furthermore, without the extra shit tech and accessories that no one really wants. And that is on top of Front-Wheel-Drive, too many doors and a useless bed. No offense to Mr. K.

Diesel gives you good gas mileage?🤦🏻‍♂️

A vehicle guy? Gas mileage? Diesels get fuel mileage. Put gas in it, see how well it works.

5-6 thousand rpms on a Jeep lol

You can tell he has never owned a Jeep if he don’t know where the hood stand is 😂

Todo les suena ha esos JEEP , como la carreta nagua todos flojos , como las tacomas. se aflojan 😀😂😁

interesting there are many complaints about no manual it's a bit comical really... what these one-sided so-called drivers forget to consider is 85 to 90 percent of the people now days cannot drive a manual so the carmakers do what is convenient to them and sometimes cheaper I have had dealerships tell me the standard shift is not as economical which in its self is really stupid because if one really knows how to drive the standard is better than the automatic... I started on standard shifts when in high school the first car was 3 on the tree the n4 on the floor... another thing not considered due to injuries, etc I cannot drive a standard shift so the auto is better for me then again the one-sided people do not consider that

Modern jeeps have the perfect looks and the perfect abilities. It's too bad the quality is such that modern jeeps also have among the lowest reliability ratings of any vehicle in the world. Capitalism's mantra of maximizing profits at any cost has ruined the legacy of this vehicle. Total shame.

It's GREAT if you're one of the very few who can, "have it all", unfortunately life is rarely like that. Life is about trade offs...............getting A, but having to forgo B. That being typed, the tablet-sized "entertainment system", Apple Car Play, USB ports, etc. are 'nice', but I'll take bullet proof engine, transmission, electrical component reliability, and quality sheet metal and welds, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY over heated steering wheels, tablets, USB ports, cup holders, etc. I have not read any reliability rankings however, anecdotally, I see a disproportionate number of late model Wranglers (and other Fiat vehicles) on the side of the road with their hoods up. I like a rugged, masculine-looking, body on frame, off-road capable SUV more than anybody, but I've never driven Moab and never will. Give me a solid, old-school 4 wheel drive system and a decent amount of ground clearance and I'm happy.

Fake Jeeper alert🚨🚨🚨 can’t stand this kid doesn’t know what he’s talking about😂😭😂

Purchase a Subaru Outback instead.

He lost me at No manual transmission! Thanks for nothing! Dirty Out!
