What’s a Jeep Wrangler like to drive on long trips, why haven’t I installed a roof rack on the Jeep and why did I sell the 4xe? Well, I’ve owned a handful of Jeeps Wrangler over the last several years and I get lots of great questions about the Wrangler from so many of you, so I thought I’d sit down this morning over a cup of coffee and answer the most common questions I’ve been getting lately.

"never would I have thought that I'd have a youtube channel..." Brad. If you randomly showed me an episode of TrailRecon and said it was a new adventure documentary series on PBS, I'd 100% believe you. Your cinemetography, editing, and visual storytelling are AMAZING. I always look forward to your uploads.

I live in West Virginia. I bought a 2door stick 2021 in Kellogg, Idaho. Wife and I flew out with a tent and some clothes and took about 7 days driving cross country back home. A few nights sleeping in our seats, and some in a tent. Amazingly comfortable drive, super fun, and probably my happiest memory of my life.

I can vouch for that. My son and I ran into him and his wife while they were on their way home from a trip. I could tell they were tired, and wanted to get home, so we didn't talk too long. But they were still gracious, and spoke with my son and me for a few minutes.

Hey Brad...the Captain Here!! Coffee!!! I had to laugh out loud when you mentioned the aroma of your Adventure Blend. The last 3 mornings in a row I found myself with my nose in your bag of coffee just enjoying that special aroma so much. Just standing in the ole kitchen taking it in. Did not do that with my previous choices. Just make it and drink those. So here is the request. I bet there is an interesting story about the development of your coffee. How you came upon the Maple and Bourbon flavor, the packaging, testing testing testing!. Friends and family were your guinea pigs?? How about Marco?? Bet he was part of the test team?? How about a fun video, Coffee One Take, on Coffee Development and the Testing.???.

@LYates1983 Год назад

You and Marco need to get the JKs back out on a multiple day adventure with some hard wheeling/camping. Miss the old wheeling content.

@TaleOfTwoIdiots Год назад

It’s funny, I’ve heard folks say that Jeeps aren’t quiet or comfortable, but I’ve driven across the continent a dozen or more times in the last 30 years, 4 or 5 times already in my 2018 JLU, and I find it an absolutely awesome experience. Interestingly, we just completed our first (7,000+ mile) trip with a 3rd person in our jeep and discovered - much to my surprise - that the back seat is actually roomy and comfortable as well. I think it's a great truck for long-distance travel.

We drove my wife's Rubicon to Arizona and back from Socal and also from our home to Lake Tahoe a few years ago. Not the most comfortable, but loads of fun once we arrived at our destinations. We recently made the same trips in my lifted Lexus GX460 and the comfort is night and day. My GX wins hands down and we can also have loads of fun at our destinations with the GX, except for technical rock crawling. But, and it's a big BUT, 😆 the GX is a V8 and the Rubicon is a V6 so yeah, there's that. ⛽️ We love them both and alternate depending on feel and destination, and duration of trip. Love your content. Keep it up! 👍

@williamtufts3600 Год назад

I think a cool video would be for you to find a 4 Runner and owner or some type of overland vehicle that you have not overlanded with. Then swap with them for a short trip. You drive and use their setup. They drive and use your setup. Then you can do a follow up with what they like/hate about a jeep and your setup. Then a follow up with what you like/hate about their setup. Would be a cool point of view fron 2 drivers in rigs/setups they've never used before.

Just did 1,800 miles in my JLUR XR over Labor Day weekend. Coming from an Audi family, long trips are definitely a challenge in the Jeep. However you do get used to it. It’s all about expectation setting. If you expect a vehicle designed for blue / black trails to track down an interstate at 90 mph with one finger on the steering wheel, well, you’re in for a rude awakening.

@AustinH7 Год назад

90mph will get you pulled over pretty much anywhere anyways! I’m more than happy with going 65-80mph in my 2 door.

@dbasiliere Год назад

Brad, I have a 4xe and after I use up the battery (30 miles in the summer and 20 or less in the winter) I get 20 on the Interstate and 24 on the secondary roads. Of course that is behaving myself with the throttle. If you spank it, that little 4 banger will gobble gas. BTW, I love your 392 and trailer setup, very cool. I also like that Jeep calls it a 392 (old school nomenclature) rather than a 6.4 liter. Reminiscing; I remember when my parents towed a 32 foot camper, they had a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with a 472 ci. (7.7 liter) GM V8 with 830 cfm Rochester carb. It put out 525 ft lbs torque and had rear load leveling air suspension. Ancient tech and when I look back it was quite ugly, however in it's day we thought it was nice.

@tarheelcountry1868 Год назад

Honestly your indecision on newer jeeps and curious investigative approach in all your videos has really helped me personally make a decision on a newer jeep gladiator. I also have an 82 scrambler so I was hesitant of the gladiators quality but seeing your videos has really helped. Also the way that you present the trails that you are on and the trips, makes it really easy and fun to follow. Don’t knock yourself too hard; what you attribute as maybe bad has actually helped a LOT of people. As a side note; the gladiator with a standard transmission has preformed much better in a truck capacity than what complaints I have seen from the auto

@22jeepmojave75 Год назад

I love my daily drive, Mojave. I have owned my cars, mostly sports cars. I don’t take it off road but current road conditions are so bad due to wear and tear and construction everywhere, I no longer worried about bumps, cracked surface or pot holes. This vehicle rides good in long and short drive. Only two things I disliked was mpg and getting in the vehicle.

If it is any consolation, my Sahara V6 with a Mopar lift, 35-inch tires, 4.88 gears and Selec-Trac...gets about the same fuel economy as your 392!

I own a ‘19 Wrangler Sport (2 door) with a Bestop Sunrider, and manual transmission. I live in Iowa and the Jeep has been to the California north coast 3 times in two years. It’s my daily driver/farm truck/camping rig, pulling a SylvanSport Go with kayaks/adventure vehicle. It rides like a truck, but I’ve spent 12+ hours behind the wheel with just gas stops multiple times, and emerged without stiffness or soreness. Knowing I can jump off the main road, to the back road, to the trail or the cow path, makes every trip open to possible adventures. Like Brad, I would recommend!
