No Winch Needed! New 2.0L Jeep Wrangler Turbo vs Metal Crushing Rubicon Trail 

You know that an activity will be really interesting when the organizer needs to inform you about the no. 1 cause of death during said activity followed by the information that just two weeks ago someone was crushed to death.

My dad never seemed interested in having me around. God bless, you for loving your son.

This is how advertising should be. Jeep seems to get that your channel and some others are the way to market to an audience that actually pays attention to the details. I dig it. Great job TFL and Jeep as well. Cool to see off the lot rigs capable of this....even if they are 50+ lol 🤨

When the Jeep Cherokee KL came out in 2014, Jeep claimed that they took it on the Rubicon Trail. I really would love to see someone complete the Rubicon in a Cherokee TrailHawk.

F’n Awesome ...... Great Videography, Perfect Editing, Love how you’ll stop along the way to talk to other enthusiasts about their vehicles, always have time to pet dogs.... TFL gets it, vehicles are static, it’s how they connect us to the world around us that forms their bonds to us.

I was always told, " Do what you love and you'll never work a day of your life." Added benefit is doing it with your son. You are *Blessed* my friend. Great video as always ! Keep'em coming!

9 hours of pounding your butt going over rocks at less than 2 mph while an army of trail spotters direct you on how to get through each obstacle. This sounds like a good description of hell!

Seems like putting 35’s on the jeep would have made that a bit easier on the undercarriage.

Great video, Rubicon Trail is definately on my bucket list!! Love that you two are a father and son team 👍, Jeeping is a family thing. We are a three Jeep JK family, so we appreciate all your Jeep video’s.

Nice video. In 19:50 roman ask why the tire pressure went up again. Well, that is because the air ( gas f) expands with heat. When you started the trail it was cooler and the tires where not hot from friction. So if you want to, you could air down again. Greetings

Love the father and son combo, love the channel and I hope me and my son will be this close.

1) It's really nice to see the father/son thing on full display., Roman is doing great things with his family. Keep it up. 2) I think this video does a great job of showing how well a completely stock Rubicon can handle those conditions. Kinda shows that it would only take a few modifications to make the Wrangler Rubicon even better than it already is. 3) Did it take 10 hours because the conditions are that tough? Or was it more because Jeep had to tone it down for all the vehicles and skill levels on the drive? If the latter, if you guys were on your own, how long do you think it would have taken to complete day 1?

"I'm eating a sandwich" lol

“All the tires are back up to 30 for some reason” (,!?) ... Doh ... heat!

Roman, Tommy, you have effectively put me off wanting to drive the Rubicon trail lol - unless its in an old lifted beater of a Jeep, and I'll get a free massage afterwards.

Grearlt video, I was just thinking what a great reviewer Tommy has grown up to be while watching your suby.vs jeep review comparison. I enjoy his off road and historical knowledge of Colorado as well. Glad you're able to enjoy these trips together,

Think you guys could give the two door some love? I hardly get to see them in action, just the four doors :-) Love your videos btw, this is my favorite, especially when it comes to anything Jeep.

Love seeing all the 2 doors on the trail!

My favorite car channel. This was awesome. You guys are first class. Can't wait for part two.

AWESOME video guys! Really captures the nature of the trail. That first day is relentless (did the Rubicon in 2017). Very cool you get to share that experience with your son.

So Happy with these kind of videos. tired of Gravel off road tests with Crossovers

it's funny how jeep was out there testing their rigs on that trail... and yet still released the JL with that damn exhaust pipe hanging down! take a sawzall and cut it off just right of the muffler lol!!

Man, that looked like you both had alot of fun....I have taken my son and family to Moab Utah several times. There is just somthing about being in a jeep out wheeling that puts a smile on our faces!

Awesome video. Ran this trail in my 2001 XJ back in 2014. It was the week after a helicopter went down at Buck Island. (everyone survived.) It was a killer trail, rained the first day which was nice for dust but bad for traction. Love the JL!

That kid is a good off-roader.

Awesome video like always

What a great adventure ! I think you summed it up best when you said that this was a bucket list and you got to do it with your son. Its hard to do better than that in life. Love your jeep videos and your evaluations. Keep them coming.

You guys make some of the best videos. I also like how you talked to others on the trail and showed rigs other than Jeeps

Outstanding video today guys !

Great vid, interesting choice of jeep, crazy trail

such a beautiful video. Roman, your message to Tommy as a father was really heart warming :')

Hey guys, great stuff as always. Just a suggestion on something I've noticed in this as well as other videos where you discuss the features that make a Rubicon a Rubicon. Tommy is always quick to mention the lockers and front sway bar disconnect, which is great, but the 4:1 transfer case ratio is a big deal and unique to the Rubicon since day one. And don't forget the standard rocker protection which has also been a Rubicon staple since 2003.

No Subaru’s were seen or harmed in the making of this video.

15:50 That Landcruiser 😍

Excellent ! Now rest and then on to the Part 2 video. Thanks again TFLC.

Love seeing this father and son team. So lucky to have such a bond.

Was thinking about running my stock ZR2, nawww, ill have to modify for bigger tires and add proper skid protection first.

Awesome video for sure! I was kinda exhausted just watching it! I’m not sure I’d like 10 hours of rock crawling. Seems a bit monotonous. But hey, when you get to do it someone else’s 58K Jeep, I guess you get over it!

Someday! You'll get up to the Lite Brite gold standard. Good job managing the trail with a stock jeep. Trail guides saved the day! Thanks for sharing!

Such a awesome video, I always look forward to watching any of TFLs videos, can’t go a day without 😀

Hurts my soul to hear that $58k jeep screeching over rocks, great video though. But I wouldn't spend that kind of money to trash it on rocks.

Question for Emme Hall,maybe she sees it... Whatever happened to Ross Rapoport, does he still review cars somewhere? Other than that great video guys, youve really gone places with this channel, congrats!

Great video! I could watch this all day.

If your a father who does things with his grown son you are blessed. For a father and grown son to still be close and WANT to hang out together and do things together is a rare thing. It really is amazing because it shows what a great job you did as a father.

Would have been nice with Roman in the 4 door and his son in the 2 door and see the difference between the two going over obstacles. It would have been so interesting. I find the 4 door too long and 2 door too short. Maybe something in between with 2 longer doors and a wheelbase between the two would be ideal. More room behind the second row and more manoeuvrable than the 4 door. I bet they would sell a lot of those if they made it.

Love the video...but $60K for a 2.0L Jeep Wrangler makes them impractical for this use. Look for a 2.0L Jeep Wrangler to hit $70K in the not too distant future...making them cost prohibitive for true off-roading. Great to see ex-TFLer Emme Hall "You shut it, Tommy...!"

Awesome video. I’ve never really warmed up to the 4 door Wranglers. Especially with that fixed hardtop. But I am thankful Jeep still makes 2 doors.

Thanks so much ! It just goes to show how family friendly crawling can be! My little man is two years old and falls asleep in the back seat on some crazy mountaintop trails lol!

really enjoyed this one, thanks

Great video. One of the better TFL ones in recent memory. Wonderful Jeep, that looks like a blast.

What an awesome adventure, it's great to see a vehicle manufacturer offering their products in this way. Great video guys!

Waiting for the first “My Civic can do that” comment 🤔

God bless you and your whole family Roman.

That was crazy. Awesome video TFL!

Lol I was gonna say... I remember 10ish years ago when I was worried about FLD making it as a show... But I think part of it's sucess is owed to it's honesty, and enclusiveness. In particular I always remember the episode where we spent more time learning Romans new drone, a mavick he hated rather than the car they were reviewing, and I thought that's what people really want, to come along for the ride. Wishing we were doing it. And getting to be there with them. Thanks FLD, I know Tommy and Ronan will appreciate this trip for everything it will offer. Most dad's would kill to get to rest drive the newest jeep on that trail with thier son.

Bring back the inline 6!!! With a turbo or supercharger option

I could do that in my factory 2000 Honda CRV.

I know this helps Jeep out and all, but it is still really cool they invited you all to the Rubicon trail to trash their Jeeps. You're making me a fan :)

Way cool! I am only 8min into it and can't wait to finish the video!! You guys have the most awesome job and great videos!

Let me get this rite For years everyone asked for a Hemi jeep wrangler. They said it would be to costly and nobody would pay. Now they have a 40k+ jeep and they put a 4 cylinder turbo in it. Bad move. Rather have the torque of a V8.

Aired down to 23-24 PSI? Did I see that right?

Frickin' LOVE that intro.. makes me like you guys even more. Love the videos of you and Tommy, Roman.. really wholesome stuff.. keep up the good work!

My mom picked up a 2020 Wrangler 2.0T Unlimited Sahara the other day and it's amazing!

So Jeep can afford to provide Jeeps that cost $58k and fly you out there and also pay to put you in a fine hotel but yet they refused to cover my engine under warranty on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU because they found mud underneath and then falsely claim it came in through my intake when the air intake is completely clean forcing me to abandoned my Jeep after a month of fighting with them and then telling me a engine wouldn’t be available for it until October sometime leaving me without a vehicle for 4months in total, forcing me to trade it in and roll over several thousand dollars into a newer Jeep because I needed a vehicle and they wouldn’t back there vehicle and refuse to acknowledge there is a flaw in the jk’s engine allowing it to suck in water/mud into the engines oil pan through a breather hose connected to the top of the air box. Hey Jeep ! FU for that I’m not done fighting with you

I wanna see the new up coming Bronco do that trail .

Another beautiful video. Your clips are getting better and better and I SOOOOO want to get back to the Rocky Mountains again.

Ppl in comments complaining about bashing a $58k jeep. Look at the places $58k can take you. Priceless!!

"Yeah, someone was just crushed and killed 2 weeks ago." Seatbelt? I'm thinking 5-pt. harness and helmet + motocross gear! :O When the Jeeps get stuck, why don't they just have that guy in the green shirt walk over and just pick it up and move it where it needs to be? That is one Big Boy! Wowzers.

They got way too expensive to beat on the trail.

So awesome that you got Rubicon Trail advice from Ari Gold.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. Taking the Rubicon in a Rubicon is definitely a bucket list trip for me.

My Suzuki Samurai can do that. :P

$58,000 too rich for me to pound off-road

Looks like a great trip! Noticed all the Rubicon dust on everyone; that stuff got everywhere when we ran the Rubicon two summers ago.

Videos like this are the reason jeep is so successful. Roman and the crew respect the jeep culture and the Jeep life. Jeep continues to impress and improve with every new model all while maintaining the original qualities that people love about the jeep. Excellent video and great camera work. Keep up the good work! #jeepforlife

Greetings from good old Germany. You live exactly my dream, i would give anything to drive there! Your stuff are great.

Lmfao I just got an ontario subaru commercial (I'm haliburton ontario)

What a heck of a trip! Definitely on my bucket list. GREAT vid!

Great video! One of my favorite. Keep up the good work u do giving information to the viewers out there thank you👍

Toyota needs to bring their jeep back also

21:34 got some sandwich on yer nose, tommy

nice to see some real offroading from the TFL crew

One of the best TFL videos, nice one guys.

$58,000 for a 4 cylinder. You must be a fool!

Jeep was $58K when you started what was it worth when you finished the trail?

I thought someone got hurt at first when I saw the airlift.... This video makes me want to buy a jeep wrangler. I already own a tundra but you will never see a tundra on the Rubicon I'm sure.

Love that type of the video, not only reviews, also some trips

I see Rick Pewe.. I miss that guy.

This makes me want an old Toyota

Greatly composed video! Awesome to see lots of good detailed footage

I have been driving strictly Jeeps for the last 11 years, but just traded my JK for a new Ram, strictly for towing capabilities. I am enjoying the Ram but MAN I miss my Jeeps! I get my offroad fix with ATVs and Side by Sides now but there is something unique about wheeling a Jeep you just can't get with anything else.

58 thousand dollars for a Wrangler with the same engine from the Fiat/Jeep Renegade...? lol bruh...

i Got to laugh all these scraping Jeeps trashing themselves on rocks when an old hilux would just roll on over them!

Really enjoyed this TFL. Looks like a great adventure!

Can't wait to make it out there to hit that trail! Great vid guys!

Just placed my order for a new Rubicon and I’m the first to comment...coincidence? I’ve been waiting for this video!

I see the license plate or fenders did not rip off. hmmm

Man I'm not even 5 minutes in and what a show. I'm super excited for this one!

Awesome! probably one of your best videos yet!!
