Too much plastic inside too. Nearly $100K for a "rugged" off road vehicle and its just all plastic in the interior. I'd rather spend half that to restomodd an older one that will last longer, be cheaper and easier to work on, and be built to me.
@@stupidvideos1449 Trippin, u can get a box 392 engine for sub 10 thousand. Where does the other 80k lie? Surely not with the outdated interior & build quality sooooo ?? This is a 65k vehicle after sales tax, state tax, fed tax, etc. 😂 U can get a WHOLE lot nicer with 90k whether its a car or a much much nicer up to date truck.
I just picked up a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with flawless heated leather seats, a sunroof, upgraded transfer case, an aftermarket transmission cooler, a killer stereo system, and a 5.9 L V8 for $4k. Yeah I ain't going to be spending 90k on that Wrangler. Can't wait to start building on this thing. 4 less than 10 I'm going to have a Jeep that might just outclass that one.
@@tylerbuck9347 Honestly probably not much. I have already pulled a tacoma out of the snow like it was nothing. Pulled my F-250 uphill through mud that was easily 18 inches deep. It is already a beast. The one thing I will do beyond maintenance is improve cooling. It runs hot. I am thinking that I will add a snorkel and improve the airflow in the hood scoops. I will probably add another fan as well because it does want to overheat when working hard at slow speeds. Other than that not much really.
Even worse, it is still as UNreliable today as it was 25 years ago. These are garage queens i.e., you'll be constantly fixing something. And don't even THINK about getting the hybrid. it is so unreliable that owners have had new hybrid Jeeps break down by the side of the road.
With the incredible increase in purchases of used vehicles, car companies are gonna have to go super economic or something, maybe EVEN less ground up designs, reused engines and the whole 9. Some of these new Chinese cars look like they’ve bought a lot of sitting panels and other parts from Japanese brands. Just signs all around us that the economy is about to collage
well I see many chiming in about it, but low price is never what I thought in the 90s looking at jeeps. minimum wage what less than $5 at the time and I remember drooling over wranglers then having sticker shock. I was in hs so if it wasnt less than 5-6k.. nah. im guessing maybe you were already a working professional in the 90s? your "low price" standard seems to be different than other folks
You’re paying for the 392 and the upsell on the cool little gadgets it comes with from factory you could 392 swap it and build it and it’d probably come out at prob 20-30k cheaper and not as clean Still gotta remember they prob designed new tranny and diffs and lockers to hold the power so you gotta spend money on that too to do it right Then you’re still missing the convertible lol and all the other little things like an oem modern interior When you break it down it’s cheaper and easier to buy the new , is the build quality worth it? Time will tell
@@CaptVII that’s why I had to mention the questionable build quality😂 we all know what the expect Another ford raptor level competitor It’s a sema type trophy not a true Baja runner
That’s kind of what they intended, the exterior is what makes Wranglers so iconic, cause they have had the same exterior design since the US army used them in WWII. Obviously the Wrangler has been modernized over the years. But the appearance will always be the same.
@@Double_E26 Why would it be fun? You can’t use almost 700 hp off-road and I for damn sure ain’t going to drive a Wrangler fast when it’s a tall brick with knobby tires
Holds its value better than anything else drivable in SUV segment and sedans Soooo.....just if you can afford it then you can and if you can't then you can't. This isn't for cheap people 😅 and it holds more than 80% of its residual.
@@brandenrios3940 I was about to say the same thing as far there being better cars for 60k. Me personally it just sounds like a pain in the neck waiting to be bought
I have the same Jeep with my 2.0 GME engine, I have it chipped to 300hp and I love it, the only thing I would like is the sliding roof and the v8 rumble, oh yea and I’m in the UK and paid £60,000 , that’s about $76,000
65,000? 😆 🤣. The plug in hybrid is almost 70,000. Only thing that is crazy ,is how much jeeps hold there value. This is one vehicle that is always in demand and seems like whatever the price is for one old or new they sell.
We had a guy buy a V6 wrangler for 75k. The idiocy of these people is through the roof. They gladly pay for mediocre performance and cheap build quality then excuses that cheap quality because "its an off-road vehicle".
Paddle shifters and a v8 in a jeep wrangler, for over a decade I’ve seen folks talking online swapping V8s into older jeeps, claiming the chassis can handle it… I suppose it never occurred to Jeep to make one until their grand Cherokee SRT variants proved a huge moneymaker.
Im just glad they still offer the high end versions of most good cars nothing feels better than a new vehicle with all the nice options and upgrades. It's a whole different world than a base model. Feels amazing sitting in a loaded vehicle top of the line
The crazy part is that it costs 90k for a jeep. When I could grab one from 2006 grab a 800 dollar LS from a junk yard along with a 2k tremec t56 and spend another 2k to integrate it fully for probably less then 15k and if I'm feeling extra spicey I could rebuild the motor and supercharge it for another 4k bringing my total to around 20k with labor accounted for.
I believe Jeep is either about to or just did release an even more expensive version of the wrangler. It’s about $130,000 but it’s completely outfitted for overlanding
I'm not a person who likes these types of cars But when you talk about it, I have a feeling that this is going to be the car I buy in the future . Man i love your video's keep going
you know what for the engine 90k is insane. it's just that the wrangle is a 40k base modle and that engine on the dodges is usually a 23k pump from the v6
