@@dragon47208 What kinda question is that?I have 2017 mustang and 2020 ram rebel and they are both paid off and that will be no one's business how i can afford that.
@@TAIMOOR82 it’s true that it isn’t anyone’s business; but if someone asks you why is it a problem to give them a reply? Most of the time it’s younger people who just want advice that ask those questions. Do you have a problem helping those who seek to better themselves? It’s not like you have to give any personal details. You can be vague while still conveying a proper response.
I bought the 19' JLU with the 2.0L Turbo and I absolutely love it!! If I keep my foot out of the turbo and try to drive it "Normal" I can easily avg about 22-25 MPG in the city as my DD. Very satisfied with this product so far and I have a little over 8000 mile on it with 6 months of ownership. Off Road it is king, goes everywhere and does it smiling then takes me back home. Good job on the video man!
Congrats on your purchase and glad you enjoyed our review. The eTorque engine matches really well with the Wrangler, we loved it a lot more over the V6.
J Smith thanks for the response! Road noise over long trips is definitely a concern for us, so its good to know they put some effort in making this model a little quieter.
I did some research on why wranglers are so expensive and I found out it has alot to do with its fanbase.... it hold the highest resale value of any vehicle and sell even before they arrive on dealer lots. I also looked up wranglers on carvana a few days ago and noticed every single used wrangler had a pending sale and almost at entry level price after 5 years!! If u don't believe me look it up.. ppl are always looking for a wrangler also when i bought my rubicon one sales woman told me they NEVER discount wranglers so maybe before hating jeep on the price people should change their views of buying them because fca have ZERO incentive to lower its price. Hope this information helps 🙂 stay safe stay healthy!!
I watch at a lot of reviewers on youtube. this guy easily among the top two or three for me. He gives detailed info and opinion while always keeping in mind what the vehicle was meant for.
I drove a 2019 Sahara a few weeks ago, had it as a rental and most of my driving was on the highway... got the 22 MPG Jeep promises and half the time I was driving it, I forgot I was NOT driving a V6. Worth the extra $3k. :)
@@umerhakim Not true. I work for a Jeep dealer and we sell tons of these (we also have an in-house off-road customization shop, and sell these lifted and customized). Only once in awhile do I see a Wrangler that's a rental on the road.
You work at a Dealership. I use to work in remarketing for a big rental car company, and use to order cars straight from FCA. FCA floods these things in rental fleets. Up here in toronto most new wranglers I see on the road are rentals lol. These are fleet specials. Most retail customers dont know that, hence why no one says nothing, and FCA keeps flooding these and most of thier OTHER products. Dealerships in general are clueless, cuz again they are just dealerships. I use to work with major oems directly, and dealers use to buy cars from us. Wranglers are RENTAL SPECIALS lol. Even the used ones that people drive, used to be rentals before. I Mean just search up 2018 wranglers on autoTrader, and most listings are EX-rentals lmao !!!!!
@@umerhakim Well that's in Canada. Wranglers are VERY popular here, out of all Jeeps at our dealership (we're also the number one Jeep dealer in our state), we sell Wranglers the most (and Gladiators are catching up... we've probably sold 15 or 20 since they came out earlier this year).
@@jeepguy95 yea wranglers do sell better up there, but even then they still get flooded in rental fleets. I was in LA for a month and saw a lot of rentals driving around lol. Again most people cant tell a diffence between a rental car and a non rental, I can tell right away. Im always pointing out fleetys ( thats what i call rental cars lol) to my gf when we are driving around. Shes like how the hell do u know😂
Unless it’s any other car but the wrangler and renegade. He hated the Cherokee for no reason and he said he’s been spotted saying he wouldn’t consider a new compass, and he doesn’t have a regular grand Cherokee review.
you still rocking that 2.0l turbo? how has it been and do you feel like you should have grabbed the v6? sorry im trying to figure out which one to buy haha.
I own a Pentastar Jeep with 106,000 miles. That engine and transmission combo for the V6 are solid. Nothing wrong with it. I have had other issues with the Jeep but never the engine and transmission. I wholeheartedly recommend the V6.
for all the 4 cylinder haters out there. hate to clue you but the 3.6 liter V6 is a car engine . power us up high in the RPM'S . This 4 cylinder is better for truck applications
3.6L engine with manual transmission is the way to go. sounds great and feels great. and of course, if you want more power, install a pro-charger and you will have a more power.
No kidding, I had the v6. It was perfect. I pulled a 2000lb trailer on my 2 door v6 manual to Florida. (13 hour drive). No issues and easily kept highway speed. Oh yea, had the highway gears in it too. Dont trust Fiat engines. lol
I have one with 2.0 it’s awesome way better than my 3.6 more torque and better fuel mileage. It’s quite and feels like quality when drive it. Hands down have to drive and you will see. Runs like a dream.
I owned a 2020 unlimited with the 4 cylinder turbo. Loved the acceleration and the 8 speed transmission is awesome. Didn’t even notice the shifting. Also there is a button right in front of you to turn off the start/stop. I used the start/stop for about the first week. Quit using it because I felt like it wasn’t necessary.
Rubicons with the black seats have the red dash, the beige seats have the gray dash. The exception is Punkin and Mojito exterior colors....they both come with the gray dash regardless of seat color. Guess they think red would clash too much.
For everyone saying negative shit about these Jeep Wranglers ...They Sold 2450,000 units in 2018 and are on par with those numbers in 2019 ! So Jeep is doing something right here to satisfy it's base and beyond !!
I had the original 4 cly in my 2001 jeep wrangler. It struggled to keep at 65mph interstate speeds in 5th gear. Had to keep it in 4th most of the time. Gutless but I loved it as a kid.
I see so many reviewers not pointing this out, the manufactures may not like it but for us consumers, it's top priority. Real world reviews must have a "reliability" rating, based on manufacture model history. Without it, you are really leaving out the most important part of a review. You should add it to your rating.
Really appreciated this review. I just leased (with the option to buy) a JL 2.0 and I love it. But I’m weary of the long term investment simply because it is a 4 cylinder.
Now that you've had the 2L for about 2 years, what's your opinion? Jeep just announced you can get the extreme recon package and the 2L. Before it was restricted to only the 392 (I wish!!) or the 3.6 etorque. I'm deciding between the 3.6 or the 2.0
Just picked up a JLU Sport with the 4 cylinder turbo engine. Not gonna lie its way quicker and torquier than my 3.6 v6 JKU. I find myself constantly flooring it.....
FYI. The forward facing camera is gladiator only. Not available on the wrangler. It also won’t be available on the 2020s. It’s a huge annoyance that it’s missing. Also the etorque will only be available on the Sahara for 2020. The rubicon will get the 3.6 or the 2.0 WITHOUT etorque.
I have to disagree with you on the reliability score, usually jeeps break down because people modify the crap out of them and beat them up on trails, but I see plenty of stock old TJs and YJs that are still running just fine with over 200,000 miles. As long as you do proper maintenance they last a long time. Other than that nice review, I also have a JL wrangler.
And it's still a soft top version. I would also save on paying the extra $3k cost of the 4cyl/auto package over the V-6 with a manual, but that's just a drop in the bucket on a $56k Jeep.
If you use these off road more torque at low rpm is needed definitely especially if you have a heavy Jeep. I’m putting a L83 V8 and a 8L90 trans in my Jeep JK
KHLegend that was the train of thought over 10 years ago. Nowadays modern turbo engines don’t need that, can start and go, and turn off right after stopping.
I love my rubicon! Theres such a huge fanbase and they sell before they even hit the dealership lot. Lol unreliable my ass 🤣 I looked up wranglers on the carvana website a few days ago every wrangler had a pending sale.. you should get one i promise you u won't regret it!!! They also have the #1 highest selling resale value of any vehicle... that wouldn't happen if it was so unreliable.. just sayin 🤷 cheers!
Thanks for the review. The four-cylinder turbo is certainly interesting. Do you have any thoughts or analysis on how the four cylinder May improve or reduce the off road prowess of the Rubicon line?
It’s a great motor in Alfa especially with ZF 8 spd. Start-Stop can be deadly pulling out in cross traffic as takes near 2 seconds to start and power up and needs that partial hybrid. We Giulia owners found unplugging the hood open sensor defeats the start-Stop. But I got the ZR2 for suv fun.
@@JonBecker81 you probably paid $500 more for your car for this feature that saves nothing. You will pay more for batteries, starters and shortened engine life. Just say no once and shut it off permanently
Pentastar Nate fiat doesn’t actually build those. They’re just the parent company. It’s still all Mercian unless specifically noted like the 2.0T. People are getting their diapers in a wad.
I think someone like 5 Star Tuning will have a package out to make the HP rating on this turbo comparable to the 3.0 diesel that's coming soon. Since gas is cheaper than diesel in California I believe I would take this 2.0 turbo over the diesel but I would rather have the proven 3.6 gas with a 6 speed manual.
The worst thing about a jeep is no power. A V8 or V6 Turbo Option would have been the correct direction. Have a 2017 JK and can't stand having to floor it to pass, get on the highway etc...
@@quaranjones2359 Actually if you have AEV install a 5.7L Hemi your gas mileage will go up. The jeep is under powered. Not enough power is just as bad as too much power. The problem with the engine upgrade is the 20k to 30k cost. Jeep should have offered it.
SWAT spence they are a company that equips them to go off road. How would them putting a V8 in a Jeep with more weight and nobby tires going to make it more efficient. The wrangler has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. Chrysler would have to pay a gas guzzler tax if they put a v8 in the wrangler. Not once in history have they ever put a V8 in a wrangler. If anything I would recommend putting the good old straight 6 back in it. It was a million times more reliable and put out ample power.
@@quaranjones2359 There have been a little over 2mil Jeep JKs produced. A lot of them may never hit a trail? They have increased the size of the Jeep, now they have added a pickup for towing. These changes have made Jeeps larger and heavier than they have been in the past. My point from owning one of them is they do not have enough power for what is being asked of them. Jeep TJ 3092 - 3857 lb Jeep JK 3,760 - 4,340 lb Jeep JL 3,955 - 4,455 lb Jeep Gladiator 4,650 - 5,072 lb 5.7L Jeeps get better gas mileage than 3.6L Jeeps. Correct power for the application. Obviously 6.4L swaps add more power than is needed and result in less mileage. It is a balance, right now the current weight is under powered. The straight six is a good power plant, my guess fazed out for EPA reasons. And a V8 may never happen for EPA reasons. Doesn't make the EPA correct.
If the Ford Ranger can tow 7500 lb with a 2.3L bi-turbo, there is no reason why the Gladiator is not offered with the 2.0L turbo and have decent towing capacity.
The v6 version is pretty reliable. They've been using it in a shit load of their vehicles, including the RAM commercial white vans that get a lot of miles put on them.
The Tigershark 4-bangers are actually very reliable, statistically. The tiny turbos seem to do okay too. However, anything Fiat-derived larger than 1.8 with a turbo should be avoided.
I remember when Toyota used to offer the 2.7L 4 cylinder engine on the Toyota Sienna when the 2011 came out. Now I probably know why they eventually stopped putting that engine in the Sienna. Darn thing must be as slow as a 1983 Toyota Tercel.
