I just recently purchased a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X- listed for $71,300. We drove 57 miles to this dealership as they advertised the lowest discounts possible. We were there for several hours and finally settled on $61,700 out th e door. Our new vehicle was built August 2024. We already had a price in mind before going there and had contacted our bank earlier!!!! We also got $35,000 for our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. So we made out great. We liked our Gladiator but parking in our garage took up a lot of entra space. We only keep our vehicle for 3-4 and are well maintained!!!

I rented a 2023 Overland for 2 months for work. Put 5k miles on it. Had a great time. Everyone has a different exp(i got 28mpg highway). Hopefully they get Jeep on good footing. I enjoyed it.

I’ve owned 3 gladiators 2019 and 2 wranglers before that. No major issues and overall reliable. My overland diesel was maintenance was starting to get little expensive but that as my best truck of all time. Actually sad I got rid of it. Currently driving an old school max tow sport. Love it. Jeep does need to find ways to lower prices ASAP

Can't believe that you can't get auto trans with the 3.6 engine for 2025. Stellantis is stupid.

you are right.. its an ultimate second car but approaching 100k is nuts.

Dang 70k ! Back in 2012 I got a 2door fully loaded Rubicon the first year they put the v-6 in it was only 35k

@WildCampingAlberta Ай бұрын

Same dude. 2014 JKUR. Still runs like new. Had some upgrades over the years to keep up with maintenance. Recently got a rhino rack pioneer rack for roof tent and holding stuff up top. I can't justify these cost that now and obviously that pricing is not going away ever. So I'll run this old girl until it dies.

Agree with your road test assessment. I'm a longtime Jeep owner. I test drove a 2024 X 'Extreme' with 35s. I don't like the fact Stellantis will only ship the 2025 X 'Extreme' with a manual trans. Stellantis really screwed the lineup with their lack of insight to the American markets. The thing I really despise is Stellantis has loaded our jeeps with Alfa Romeo electronics. Good luck with that... I'll keep my 2013 Rubicon JKUR10A.

Hi buddy, I know you are an expert in wrangler. My 2024 off road page always shows roll is one degree off to the left with or without driver in. I am not sure if it is an issue or just another wrangler lean/imperfection. What’s ur experience with this?

@Kevin-xy3yr Ай бұрын

That's the new verson of my 2018 I got it used with a mopar lift and 37's and katzkins red stiching seats. I have the 3.6 and not the 2.0T It's super cabpable and fun. We have the doors and top off most of the summer. Didn't know about the 4 auto version that's the only significant difference in the last 7 years.

@ChasingForever Ай бұрын

You are correct. Last year's model came with 33" tires on the Rubicon X. A month ago, I bought a Gladiator Rubicon X, and although the tires are nice, 35" would have been better for off-road. Did they keep the 4.10 differential? Thanks for the review.

@bobr5274 Ай бұрын

They must have made some changes during 2024. I have a 2024 that I bought in September 2023 and it has 35” tires with the same wheels in this video.

So which one is the best jeep engine among those 3.6, 2.0T and 3.0 eco diesel?

@IndymanPhilly 25 күн бұрын

If i could purchase Jeep, I would ditch all V engines and go with all inline engines. They are more powerful and definitely more durable. Auto trans would be available in all trims just like manual trans would be as well. I would also have more colors and actually keep the colors instead of making them limited time only colors. I would also ditch the 4xE until someone can make the hybrid range available up to 300 miles on a charge. 27 mile range for a hybrid is ridiculous.

@richardmiller3808 Ай бұрын

As a Jeep Wrangler owner (21 Willys) as well as my Girlfriend also has a Wrangler 20 Rubicon RECON. I will say this. They never should have done away with the Mild Hybrid version of the 2.0 Turbo or (2.0 eTorque) I found that the MH variant of the engine is far better than the standard version and the V6 eTorque version as well. As far as everything else goes its apples and apples. Solid axels, Body on frame. blah blah blah. Only big differences, Gearing, maybe transfer case options, so its just a matter of how much money you want to depart with.

What Jeep should do…? Make all of the various options available to the consumer rather than making groups, and forcing the consumer/buyer to choose between certain options, thus denying him or her other options….

Was planning on trading in my '22 Gladiator for a Rubicon for its "5000 lb" towing capacity, until I saw payload of 850 lbs. Totally bonkers. Instead bought a '24 Tacoma with 1200 lbs payload and 6500 lbs towing for much less.

@SteegeFish Ай бұрын

@danielboulanger5230 Ай бұрын

@@SteegeFish Every Wrangler I looked at had an 850 lb payload, didn't matter whether it was a Rubicon of a Sahara. They push the idea it can tow 5000, but don't show the reality of true capability.

@MarkR973 Ай бұрын

It took Bronco to get jeep to give us power seats, tells you alot about Stellantis.... I don't care about jeep traditionalists who want bare bones vehicles, they can give you that, but for $70k+ I want power everything, comfort and good road manners including being quiet at highway speed with great off road capability. It's doable... would be proud to own at that price if they just gave us that... make the front windshield affixed permanently, nobody opens it anyway, it's not 1941, make a version that doesn't have the top removable increasing body integrity and quietness, make the power sliding roof quiet like Audi... their charging enough for it... step it up and they'll all sell...

Not a huge fan of the new grill. Maybe it will grow on me. Part of the reason I went with Bronco over the new Wrangler. Didn’t dig the refresh - it’s too similar to before…. But I am and always will be a Wrangler fan in general.

@michaeldemarco9950 Ай бұрын

It’s too similar to before because they change it only every ten years. This mid-cycle refresh is actually unprecedented.

@Cahill4225 Ай бұрын

@ yep I get that and I’m not a fan of the mid refresh.

@nemomilo333 Ай бұрын

They have to do more frequent updates or refreshes now due to competition. I have a 2019 JLUS and I replaced the old grill with the new one. It was plug and play install and I love the new looks! When I look at the older JL now, it reminds me of JK, which is not a bad thing but just looks outdated in comparison

@davidmengle8269 Ай бұрын

Putting the price aside, jeeps have issues. Imagine paying 70g knowing its going to probably need repainted in 4 years along with the hood, doors and tailgate replaced. I'm not sure if they fixed the battery issue yet. I drive a 2020 rubicon and it would be hard for me to justify buying another.

This 4WD system sucks. I have this same Jeep and it sucks in the snow. I traded in my 2015 Rubicon for it. That system was amazing. Just regular 4H and 4L. The 4H auto sucks so bad after shoveling snow off my driveway it would slip and spin and not go anywhere. It has the Ko2s. Going to look to replace this thing. Not impressed for a 70k vehicle. I will not recommend to anyone. Stick to traditional 4WD system.
