2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4x4 // review, walk around, and test drive // 100 rental cars

[@100RentalCars]

Hello! This one was a challenge to film. It started raining/sleeting while I was filming so I had to finish it up under a bridge. Anyway, I really like the Wrangler, I'm just not sure I'd want it as a daily driver...unless I lived in the middle of the woods somewhere and needed some serious 4x4 action to get to my house.

[@disneyfan9099]

100 Rental Cars Yeah they are fun but I don’t get all the hype about it

[@JCx13]

I recently started to really have an eye for these things.... It kinda came outta nowhere lol. Was thinking of buying this exact model with a hard top with same colour as the rest of the jeep. Would be my daily driver. I just have begun to love the way they look and seem like a fun vehicle. I'd off road for sure if I had the chance but It would mostly be street driven. I like cars/trucks more for how they look than what they can do. But that's just me. I guess it isn't all that practical unless I was 4x4 my way to work

[@pauldonnelly6691]

I just rent on last week 2020 keep Wrangler drove about 1600 miles it was nice ride but at the end it broke down on the highway the alternator fail with the e torque motor has a turbo 4 cylinders. Other people have same problem too. Better off v6 penstar motor

Did I say "Sierra"? Jeez, I didn't catch that when I reviewed the final edit of the video. Thanks for pointing this out.

I have a Rubicon, but I asked the dealer to install Sierra sidesteps on it. The puzzled look on his face made me replay in my mind what I had just said. I chuckled a little when I heard you make the same easy mistake.

The comment about it having slow acceleration is funny. 1. Its not a race car 2. Its actually no slouch with Car and driver testing it at sub 7 seconds in the 0-60mph. So many other things to say but not enough time or patience. There are a dozens of other reviews of these over the past 14 months and most of them pretty damn good. P.s. it's not a Sierra, lol

that's what I said! he says certain cars are slow when he's barely got his big toe on the gas pedal. you have to basically FLOOR a new car to get these many gear transmissions and eco tuned ECM's to wake up from their slumber. the 3.6 is a monster for what it is!

[@phillipcraggs6202]

quick tip, you don't need to hold the start button to start the engine. A momentary push is all it needs since everything is electronically controlled. Good video, even though there are a few out there already, I like hearing other peoples perspective, I've had my JL for 10 months now.

[@spinebuster9490]

I like how responsive the android control system is when you touch it. Previous ones were a complete mess.

[@alafifi101]

I thought you could engage 4H without putting the gear on neutral!! Or at least that is how it is in my FJ cruiser. You can be driving really slow with your steering wheel straight and just engage 4H. Now if you want to engage 4L then you would have to stop car, put it on neutral, engage the 4L, put the gear back to D and then drive.

Beautiful white jeep. Excellent review.

[@breeze787]

I keep looking at these Jeep reviews just to see if Jeep is listening to their customers. I own an FJ Cruiser and its nice to see the differences. I'm surprised that "hood flutter" is still a problem with Jeep because you can get rid of it with a 3rd party latch. But why hasn't Jeep improved it? I'll keep my FJ Cruiser forever. 6 cylinder 260hp comfortable seating for 5, nicer looking, better and more solid roof rack, 4x4 more than capable, pulling capacity of 5,000 lbs, a rock out stereo with some serious volume, bluetooth audio as well as phone, rear view camera, audible reverse sensor, ride is solid & luxurious and after 4-1/2 years an engine that will break in around 200,000 miles. Now we're looking at getting a 2019 RAV4 to sit side by side with the FJ and that is exciting.

You aren't missing anything, the Wranglers have and always will be one of the most boring vehicles out there with very terrible highway manners, they're built to be an offroad vehicle...think side by side ATV.

[@jeepguy95]

Looks like Enterprise is upgrading the trim level they order for 2018 (used to be the Sport S, and now it's the Sahara). I reserved one for a trip to Indianapolis I'm taking this summer. Can't wait to drive one! I work for a Jeep and Chevy dealer and my boss is driving a Wrangler Unlimited right now. He is driving a lifted Sport S model, which is the second trim up from the base Sport. :)

[@disneyfan9099]

Vincent D They still buy sport trims

[@jeepguy95]

Most likely for the JK though. Most of them are Sahara from what I've seen. Wonder if they'll buy models with leather (I doubt it).

[@dharkundercity1796]

You are still wrong about shifting into 4 high. You can shift into 4 high while driving up to 55 MPH. To shift into 4 Low, you need to slow down to about 2 to 3 mph, shift the vehicle into neutral, then shift the 4wd lever past neutral into 4L and then put the vehicle in drive and try not to drive more than 10 mph in 4L.

[@Catman1798]

Awesome video. Thanks. Even the cost of gas you spent. And how to drive the Jeep. I don’t know how to work the shift for the 4 low 4 high etc. lol.

[@AStanton1966]

You can go into 4-high while the vehicle's transmission is in drive and rolling. When you want 4-low, you always have to have the transmission is neutral. Rolling just slightly, helps the gears shift into 4-low. You never want to force it! And never use 4 wheel drive on dry pavement; it's bad for the transfer case and tires.

[@Mr8888X]

Cool review. I somehow like the form factor of cars like the Jeep or the G-Class

The vehicle has an options screen. Therefore is no need to use the key to open the tailgate. This video is a year old, so nobody will see my comment :(

Glad I bought a 2018 JK. That auto engine on/off would be a giant pain in the ass off-reading. I would be looking for a relay to pull out and throw away!

[@AStanton1966]

Like most 4-wheel drive vehicles with a high center of gravity, they are made for going across muddy/ snowy fields and dirt roads. They aren't meant for speed ways. Especially if they get T-boned, they are going over like a big fat turtle.

[@wildbill23c]

Its only a rollover risk because of moron drivers. They are actually quite stable if you know how to drive and don't put a damn lift kit on them and take off the stabilizer bars that were put on it to help prevent a rollover in the first place.

It has the engine auto off and on design flaw. I returned my test drive after less than a kilometer of driving. I know I can push the button that bypasses the engine off and on design flaw. But I am not going to pay for something I hate and that will reduce the engine life of the vehicle.

[@100RentalCars]

Only 10 miles on it? Wow! That is a nice X-Mas gift. What did you think of it? I really like these, I'm just not sure I'd buy one as a daily driver.

[@disneyfan9099]

100 Rental Cars Yeah I had free rental days coming with Avis so I booked a full size and they at first gave me a Dodge Charger R/T but it was dirty and older so I went to ask to see what else they had. I had just returned a brand new 2019 Fusion so I was hoping for another brand new car. Being the holidays they were pretty tight on inventory but they were able to find me 4 Brand new cars that were not yet in their inventory. I had a choice of either a 2019 Pathfinder SV, a 2019 Grandcaravan GT, 2019 Compass Limited or a 2019 Wrangler 4 door Sport model with some options. I opted for the Wrangler as it is a very rare rental car. I did enjoy it for the 3 days. It wasn’t as bad as I expected it but the road and wind nose was bad. Overall it’s fun and powerful to drive but I wouldn’t buy one.

[@wildbill23c]

@@100RentalCars Its not a daily driver highway cruiser, its made for offroading...they suck on the highway for road manners, their shot narrow wheelbase causes them to wander all over the highway and be tossed around by passing vehicles larger than the Wrangler....avoid them unless you do most of your driving in really nasty offroad conditions...there are many other much better highway mannered vehicles out there that are much more comfortable.

I would expect someone that reviews the product would know it's features well enough to discuss them and correctly describe their functions. There's too many gaffs in this review. As well, when reviewing a Wrangler, the reviewer should know that these vehicles aren't luxury vehicles. They won't equate to any sedan...they're essentially trucks and should be treated as such.

Hey what about a rubicon

[@JakeDrives1]

this is faster than half of the cars you've reviewed.. you have to put your foot into the thing before you can complain about the power it "doesn't have" .. 0-60 for the 3.6/8 speed are high 6's low 7's in non rubicon trim. Leave out your assessment of the vehicles power if you're not actually going to test it. Same with the video on the new Malibu.. the tach barely swings over 3k as you get onto the highway and you say it's slow. Manufacturers tune cars these days for fuel economy. to feel the power and override the efficiency algorithm, the pedal has to get close to the carpet. would appreciate more accurate acceleration on video if you're going to be judging acceleration.

[@100RentalCars]

I appreciate the criticism. I'll try pushing my next few rentals harder when testing the acceleration. And I'll try to be better at explaining when I say a vehicle is slower than I expected. Cheers!

Don't buy the 2019 Jeep Wrangler: One star on safety. Independently verified by ANCAP and Euro NCAP. ANCAP released the rating a little over a week ago, on 28 May this year, following the 2019 Wrangler's Australian release in April. In the frontal offset test, the connection between the A-pillar and the trans-facia beam was damaged in a way that indicated the structure would be unable to withstand higher loads. Similarly, deformation of the footwell showed that the structure had reached the limit of its integrity These agencies are pretty good at independent crash testing. The fact that this Wrangler is even allowed on sale today, in advanced western countries, points to a profound regulatory failure at the highest level.
