We have a thing here where Jeep owners leave little rubber ducks on the windshield as a sign of comeraderie. Or sometimes they wave.

The gearbox is actually a ZF 8-speed. Torqueflite is just the Stellantis name for it. It's quite good.

These are all over the place in Southern California. Note - the 8-speed transmission is a ZF, not a GM.

My guilty pleasure is base model V8 Chargers and Challengers. Not even the Hellcats 😂 Theres something about having a nice sounding V8 without *too much* power that is appealing to me. Comfy, laid back, and decent sounding for a decent price, especially used.

Wranglers are great off roaders. Here in the USA, it's 2-3+ Jeeps for every Yota I see on the offroad trails (and I'm a Toyota guy).

I love my Wrangler here in the US; note for not a ton of money you can buy a soft top that’s easy to fold or deploy in the summer months. No need to rely only on the hard top.

I can’t do without mine. I only use it occasionally, but love it… always had jeeps here in Cork, Ireland. Guilty pleasure from my early youth in Detroit. Mine is a SWB Sahara, a 2.8 TD., AUTO. Really rare here… “gas” l/100km terrible, just like your petrol. Hey! We all have our own addictions 😊

I'm on my third Wrangler and love it. They're not that common here in the UK and that's what I like about it. Having had a four door, the two door is way more manoeuvrable but at the cost of load space. My very first car was a VW Beetle so I'm used to not being able to see the corners. You do get used to it!

I've had the previous-generation one for eight years now, the one with the six-speed manual transmission and the 3.6L V-6, and I love it. I do actually use it as-intended sometimes and live in an area that frequently gets deep snow. I've driven it through snow that was between two and three feet deep with little issue and off-road as well. What's unusual is it's not hard to place in most situation if you raise the seat height as high as you can stand. Parking is probably the hardest thing but not because it's too wide; the angled and narrowed hood creates an optical illusion where it makes it hard to park straight. I often go to get out and find myself in between the lines, but very crooked, and have to reposition myself. I've learned to use the bottom of the window as a guide for final parking instead. I was very surprised by your poor gas mileage. I have the larger engine, and I tend to average 19 miles per gallon in mixed driving in the summer, 17 in the winter, and have seen 22-24 on the highway on road trips, and that's with the smaller US gallons. I like it so much, I actually went back to Jeep when it was less than a year old and purchase the unlimited warranty when it was still offered because I want to drive it as long as possible, and the warranty covers the powertrain for the life of the vehicle as long as it's in my name. The only thing I would've changed from when I first got it would be to have purchased the soft top and half doors instead of the hard top and full doors since it's easier to put the soft top down and the half doors weigh a lot less. However, I do like the added security of the hard top, so someone with a pocketknife can't just break in and ruin a $700 top, and the t-tops can be popped off and put in the back, so it's a mixed feeling.

I had a JL Wrangler Rubicon (4door) for 5 years. Only sold because after mods etc it couldn't fit into my new complex/parking lots etc (too tall). Fantastic vehicle. Everything it is meant to be, is done well. Even road driving is fun - it's a convertible! Basically the sports car of off roaders. It walks up off-road obstacles like they're nothing - spots that are included in RU-vid highlight reels on 4wd shows (noting they typically drive dual cab Utes which are popular but honestly crap on actual tough tracks)

I owned a 2015 Wrangler Sport 2-door and it was still very capable offroad. On the road it was tolerable. I now have a Bronco 2-door First Edition and it is great on road and equally awesome offroad. I would say the JL Jeeps have a higher quality interior than my Bronco (the plastics do scratch easily). Front end placement in my Bronco is easy with the tie down/markers on the front fender. Overall, the Jeep Wrangler is immensely popular here in Arkansas.

@ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣΧΑΤΖΗΣΤΑΥΡΟΥ
@8:30 same story with the kj cherokee/liberty, you have a gorgeous 911esque bonnet with very defined extremes and then you have some invisible fender flares that you have no idea where they are, add stupid US mirrors that seam to magnify your surroundings and poor turning circle and you get a car that's very hard to park and place, still, it has a great feelgood factor and outdoorsy nature especially with a v6 that's quite charming

Nice timing Jay. Just hired one for 2 weeks in Colorado and NMexico next year. I’m now too old and paranoid to hit the trails in the usual Mustang Convertible. I was set on a Challenger but had a look at some of the trails and they appear to be fairly proper 4x4 stuff.

To know where you're corners are, imagine a line parallel to vehicle on the outside edge of the mirror as vector x, then a line parallel to what you can see of the hood, then add 50cm to get y. At imagined intersect, that's your corner.

I don't intend to pretend I do a lot off roading. For the hour away from the family, once a month when the weather allows, I just about manage a drive around a nice road, never mind getting out into the woods. But, this is how I believe a true offroader should be: light, cheap panels and parts, easy to repair, and naff inside so I don't care about mud, leaves, and scratches. Visibility should be good too, so I would stick cameras all over.

Never really enjoyed the Wrangler. For me, the best offering in the Jeep line-up was the often overlooked Commander. All the prowess of the Grand Cherokee, but with a usefully larger boot and more Tonka style charm.

@10:50 if you can't see the fenders off road you stick your head out of the window and go as tight as you can on the drivers side and hope that there is enough space for the other side, I mean what are the chances you are the widest vehicle on the trail after all....

Here in the PNW US (Seattle) they are super popular. I've dailyed a bright yellow 4-dr V6 JL soft top since 2018 ($27,500 new, end of year dealer bargain). I LOVE it. Top down carrying bikes in the summer, throw the skis in the back and head over the mountains in the winter. It's simple, but goes anywhere and always puts a smile on my face. It has not been reliable electrically (Jeep sigh), but I still can't imagine replacing it with anything else (with the possible exception of the new Scout, if it ever arrives).

I've not driven the 2024 Jeep Wrangler but I've driven many of the older models (up to 2019 model year). Jeep die-hard fans adore them but modern vehicles are better. The Ford Bronco is flawed but manages to beat the Wrangler in nearly every area despite having IFS and its cameras solve the "where are my wheels" problem without the need of a spotter. Plus the Ford's sway bar reconnects automatically whereas you have to manually reconnect the Jeep's sway bar and that can be impossible under certain circumstances The Toyota Land Cruiser is simply the ultimate, not merely because of its capabilities but also because of its reliability. All 3 vehicles can be heavily modded but only the Toyota has bulletproof reliability, and if you're far out in the wilderness that counts for more than you'd imagine if your only intention is to "make a lifestyle statement" which- let's be honest - is pathetic and sad.

@allareasindex7984
@allareasindex7984 2 часа назад
The gearbox isn’t GM to begin with, that was just a mistake. Torqueflite was originally a Chrysler automatic, Chrysler bought American Motors which owned Jeep, Stellantis owns Chrysler, so that’s how it gets Torqueflite. But other commenters say it’s actually a ZF gearbox with a Torqueflite label.

As an American, Jay, I feel that feeling of "really?" about the levels of goofy American nationalism EVERY SINGLE DAY. The number of yards in my area with pictures of Trump pumping a fist after having his ear nicked by a bullet is nearly as high as the number of suburban moms who are driving the nearly 70k hybrid version of this car. If Range Rovers didn't break (slightly) more often than a Jeep I'd have the Defender. But seriously. Get a car and if you wanna go off road... get a horse?
