NEW Jeep Wrangler (Manual): AFFORDABLE and a MANUAL! 

So everyone knows, this is not a base. Sport S is a trim above base.

This is basically my exact Jeep. Mine is a 2022 and I have more options, but 2 door, white, and manual. I love it. I had my first Jeep Wrangler for 12 years and I pray this one lasts that long.

$41,500 is crazy for this.

Outrageous prices for wranglers

NA engine, good. Manual tranny, good. The bad news is that it's at least 10k overpriced.

Glad to see a Manual Transmission.

I just ordered the 24 Willys 2 door manual V6. Who knows how long it will take to get but wanted to get it before you could no longer get a manual or a non hybrid or turbo engine.

Sorry Folks, multiple Wrangler owner here and Im going to say it...this thing needs to be 10k less.

41k for that piece of garbage? lmao

42k for a 2 door jeep, ridiculous

Well you could get a 2024 Toyota Tacoma still has a Manual Transmission 2024 jeep gladiator still has a manual transmission. 2024 Ford bronco still has a manual transmission,

When it comes to jeeps they are not bad I remember as a kid my dad had bought an old army Jeep from a friend I don’t know if it was used in ww2 but it was cool. And what is really amazing is that down in the Philippines after Japan surrendered the us left behind 1,000’s of ww2 jeeps behind and the locals took ownership of them and really enjoyed them so much that today they have many companies that build replica ww2 jeep parts to keep those old jeeps going.

I bought my 2014 2 door Sport S and it had everything here except the infotainment screen with the backup camera. Mine also had the auto dim rear view plus heated side view mirrors. Mine was 31k new. 10k more only 9 years later is fantastically over priced. Mine was an automatic, with the freedom top.

$41k for a base model 2 door Wrangler, no wonder Stellantis can’t move inventory.

A bit too Spartan for that price especially w/o a rear locker…..

Surprised to see a v6 in a base model! I would have thought a 4cyl for base! 41k is still a bit high!

Soo good to see manual! Thats a real Jeep vehicle for us real drivers! ThankYou Jeep!

It’s not the base model. The base is like 6,000 dollars cheaper. It takes 30seconds to research before you review.

These need to be 28k max

the wrangler debuted for the 1986 model year in 2 Door& 4 door body styles. my godfather drives a 2018 wrangler special edition right now though he's driven jeeps for over 35 years and my younger cousin his son who is a Navy Vet also currently drives a Jeep Wrangler while their mum drives a BMW 5-7 Series sedan

About to take delivery and cannot wait. Old school feel but with some up to date tech. Thanks for the test drive!!!

why does no one talk about the recall on the clutch that catches fire on 2018 to 2023 and Jeep has been delaying the fix foir years. Owned mine for 2 months and traded it. It is also slower because of the software updates they have applied to "resolve" the issues with the clucth.

Bronco doesn’t have a solid front axle, but it does offer a 7-speed manual…

GREAT VIDEO BEN. I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.

Check if there is open recall. My 6 speed manual had recall notices for 5 years on a 2018 and they never had a fix. Anytime I was in traffic, it would get very hot and I have driven stick cars for 25 years. Finally got rid of it at 25k miles on advice from tech. Told it was a problem never corrected and this is as of February this year and warranty was up. Do your due diligence and read up. Same transmission. Fire hazard.

Chrysler has used the pull up for reverse before in the daytona I am a jeep owner love it I'm going manual all the way thanks for video

Isn’t that a Sport S? I thought the Sport still had manual windows. My 2016 JK Sport has manual windows.

Bronco is body on frame and offers a 7 speed manual gearbox. Bonus is you also get a better turbo engine and independent front suspension for handling over Wrangler, plus marine grade vinyl seating surface (washable), for same 41k MSRP.

2" lift and 35's. I would delete some of the optional packages. Tech package 3k...nah...this is a Jeep after all

Did they fix the clutch?

SUGGESTION: PLEASE INCREASE PRODUCTION OF THE JEEP WRANGLER BASE MODEL.

This is not a base wrangler sport 2 door. This one is the Sport S model. That adds $4,005 to the base sport models base price of $31,895. Adding two doors to step into a 4 door wrangler will cost you an even $4,000. That is before you check the box for an automatic transmission at $2,500. Oh, by the way. It’s going to cost you another $595 if you want any color other than kitchen appliance white. And you will add $1,495 to get the added security and winter protection of a hard top (it’s an option. Don’t forget to add in the mandatory $1,795 shipping and handling price. Almost nobody is going to stock a 2 door appliance white no option manual transmission wrangler soft top. They are now special order only inventory. If you want one of those, your going to pay full window sticker and have to wait a while to get it. $40,000 is pretty much the floor for a new wrangler. More than likely, your going to pay closer to $45,000+ for a wrangler Sport now.

Ben, my friend, if you declare that the manual on the Jeep is "not fun by any means" then what are we talking about here? The only reason to have a manual is the "fun" factor.

that's crazy. I bought a manual transmission base Sahara 10 years ago for 2/3 of that price

2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S 4X4!

Do a 2024 Traverse RS (white or black) gmc acadia ,yukon ,terrain ,2024 explorer st , & jeep compass S

New car prices are insane these days. Would never pay 42k for this.

That’s not a base model, it’s a sport s. Sport is base and usually has crank windows, etc.

Has anyone heard about an issue with the new manual transmission in the Wrangler that causes overheating and damage from friction?

3rd gear at 15 mph is crazy

So did Jeep actually improve on the Wrangler's manual transmission?

The Tacoma also a MT as an Option by the way

Nice one!! I saw one in a dealer close by. I think I’ll get one to teach my kids how to drive that.. Nice video Ben!

Ben Ben.....no automobile is affordable anymore.....🤷‍♂️

I just picked up a 2023 Jeep Willys 4-dr 3.6 manual. I'm here to say, figure that tranny to be a 5-speed at best. I was on the highway doing 80mph and 5th gear handled it fine.

How did the price increase by $10,000 from the base price? Mean all of that basic equipment that it has is optional?

That’s all we get is manual transmission vehicles

Cant even get an actually “new” 2024(this is a 2023) right now because of their manual transmission problems.

Ahh, the exploding clutch Wrangler model.

I was selling jeeps back in 2001 2002 and a well equipped sport with hard and soft top was $24,000 $41,000 for a jeep wrangler is ridiculous. I love them but I would never pay that kind of money for that car

Ouch $41k..........$30k at most

I just ordered a 23 gladiator rubicon manual. I do NOT like what they did with the grille on the 24’s and the interior large screen they’re using now looks weird. As do the 2 air vents which replaced two of the circular style vents. Plus I was able to get 8% below invoice since the 23’s are outgoing. $59k out the door and almost fully loaded on options aside from a couple of options I didn’t care for.

Awesome Jeep, price should be higher. This is great value. Some manufacturers are going EV garbage and are missing out on catering to smart people. Only dumb people buy EV.

I love the manual transmission. A little too expensive for 2 doors.

Affordable yes but overpriced for what it is..

Vs base model Bronco?

I can buy a used lexus for that amount 😂😂😂

OLD SCHHOL ALL THE WAY!!!

Wow, Jeep with Manual gearbox. :P

If you want a really good laugh, you understand that you can flip the windshield down. However because it's curved it looks absolutely ridiculous when it's folded forward it looks like a salad bowl in front of you when you're driving. Ask me I know.

41K is f#cking insane for that set up

Push button start so it's a lot easier to steal

Absolutely horrible value for what you get. The majority of cars from the 1990s have better luxury and comfort features than this

Yeah this would be tits with the 2.0 turbo 4cyl powertrain

I tell people to buy a Sport and with aftermarket parts you can have a better off road Jeep then a Rubicon for a LOT less $$$

I like Rubicon MT

Is this the sport or sports?

uhhh.... recall info on clutch?

Does the vehicle have a clutch for your foot or is it an automatic clutch

Vent action?

Riiiip Off!!!!

Jeeps have become ridiculously expensive.

Would be great for $30K, but at $41K, it costs as much as my F150 Super Crew FX-4 cost in ‘09…

Dont BUY a manual transmission between 2018 and 2023. There is a recall that they dont have a fix for. the flywheel is a two piece and can come apart. I had to have a clutch replacement at 32K and Jeep would not refund my cost. Dont BUY!!!!!!!

Affordable?! HA! The car market is going to crash HARD. I have no pity for these greedy dealerships and hope they feel the pain the consumer has felt over the last few years.

I have a tip for you stop talking so fast sometimes it’s hard to understand what your saying especially when your talking about the specs you talk too fast

What exactly added ten grand to the base price?

$10 k over just for options? Too pricey

If it was reliable and dependable I don’t mind paying 42k but sorry Mr jeep

Never ever y will get 25 on the highway.

BEST

Probably rides like crap because of the 42 PSI in the tires...

“Affordable”

Recalls and won’t fix these.

This guy has a crazy habit of rushing so many words snd mumbling through them quickly. Its so annoying. Like the opening 15 seconds werent bad enough.. he does it constantly throughout the video

Slow down😂😂

Like the 31 thousand but 41 they are on drugs

I don’t like how you speak.

🤩✌️

The only suv with manual transmission and second stick
