The TRUTH About the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Update

[@uncommensense7768]

Say what you want about the Bronco, but it significantly improved the Wrangler line with competition.

[@keithcrum2310]

The Bronco sucks ass compared to the jeep line up.

[@Eyes_of_Oryx]

Great grammar. 😅 What exactly are you asking ?

[@BroncBro]

@@Eyes_of_Oryx It's not a question. He's stating that Jeep wouldn't have improved or updated if it weren't for the competition of the Bronco.

[@LaddGardner4]

Made it better as a grocery getter and mall-crawler, but much more expensive and complicated for everybody else.

[@ixibladeixi2639]

The issue is most Bronco owners have this idea that theirs are better lol. It takes decades to actually find out the reliability, quality and longevity. Jeep has been experiencing the world since 1941 with a lot of failures and success. Best all season vehicle, all around vehicle especially with the 392. Still don't like the grille, the incomplete look of the dash with just one round AC vent on each sides and that after thought rectagular middle AC vents that are attached to the narrow looking head unit. Honestly the Alpine redesign look better and rugged. It is wider, but it still looks small with the inner screen on some applications. Additional safety is nice tho and towing capacity even tho nobody really buy a wranger with the mindset of towing a vehicle, get a 2500 or 3500 full size truck then lol. What's with the power seats, but yet no hood struts? But hey, we're stuck with all the changes....just need to get used to it. At least it still looks like a Wrangler. Thank you Bronco for making the Wrangler even more capable. With the 392, this is the Thanos of Wranglers. Nice video!

[@nickrusso4393]

As a three-time Jeep owner and enthusiast (95YJ, 98TJ, and now a 16JK), I would really like to see them offer a model with less plastic, technology, and creature comforts, and more of the original, raw, bare bones utility that the name was built on. Give us an I6, manual, with great off road capabilities (suspension, tires, winch), and stay true to the roots. Love the page and the content!

A review on Jeeps from an enthusiast/owner is so much better than an automotive journalist that reviews everything. Brad points out the improvements and if they are any good. For example, power seats in Wranglers. Brad understands why they didn’t have them before and appreciates the update.

[@rxpilon]

The safety improvements and changes to the Willys package are great and kept me from buying a 23, however Jeeps prices are quickly becoming unrealistic.

[@jeffk464]

Yes I want new improved lower prices and probably the inline 6 turbo.

[@vdub5818]

You definitely aren't wrong about the pricing but they also hold their value tremendously well compared to other vehicles. If you factory order from select dealers you can get one for almost 13% under MSRP. With how well they hold their value and utilizing said deals, total cost of ownership if selling with sub 80k miles is actually quite good. WAY better than literally almost any other vehicle made.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

Way way way over priced, My son back in oct, bought a 2019 Rubicon with a blown motor, he has been building, since, went 6.2L LS3 route, hes taking it apart to send off to get repainted! Built outrageously, and still cheaper then even lower model jeeps off the dealer lot...

[@jgg204]

Jeep pricing became unrealistic as soon as the JL came out. a 2 door sport base model JK in 2018 could be had for under $24,000. a 2 door sport base model JL in 2018 started over $30,000

A Rubicon "core" version... Base Model/Manual everything but including the axles, lockers, swaybar disconnect, etc. Would be nice to bring down the price of a Rubi by dropping some of the creature comforts but retaining the warrantied offroad capabilities.

Toyota is going in a different direction. A 4 cylinder hybrid as the top Tacoma model. A pickup Prius.

[@KruiserKrawler]

They really should have added a Dana60 rear end option. It may be a little overkill for the v6, but with a diesel or 392 or 37”s on the trail recon edition, I think a Dana60 rear end is warranted

I really like the 24 Wrangler, the upgrades are really good, especially the full float rear axle. I have the steel bumper with winch (same warn winch) on my JK and I think its great that it is now offered from the factory (plus the necessary adjustments to front suspension to handle that extra weight in the front). My only critique to Jeep is that they have abandoned the "original" Jeep Wrangler, the two door! There's really nothing special or improved for the two door (how about the extreme recon package on the 2 door?)

[@TheOGMattBurns]

They're not going to make the 2 door any taller, because some dipshit will roll it on day one and sue them.

You don’t get it. We DO NOT want upgrades to the 2-Door! I want a basic 2-Door so I can built it up like I did with my 2 Door JK. After market parts are better, give you more options and cost less than factory packages with extra junk.

I am 100% with you on the auto up and down windows. I drive a manual and there are time (like toll booths) where I have to stop rolling up the window to shift.

[@UtahDennis]

I see that they have taken the 3.6 liter V6 away as the standard engine in several of the Wrangler models and are pushing the I4 turbo. I believe that is a huge mistake. I know that I'm not the only guy that is very concerned about the reliability and reduced longevity of a 4-cylinder turbo engine.

[@backwoodstherapy]

Yeah if you want the 6 cylinder in an automatic transmission you _have_ to get a Rubicon. It's unavailable in any other trim in that configuration (you can still get the manual six speed w/the V6). Give it a year or two and the turbo 4 will be the only engine choice.

I've owned 2 Wranglers and 1 Gladiator. 2 with the V6 and 1 with the 4cyl turbo. The 4cyl is by far a better engine. Way more torque off the line. They also just updated the turbo and intake redesign. So far, it's proven reliable

Built in trail doors. Make the doors to where you can easily remove the outer and inner door panels to expose a factory trail door. This can be done easily. The outer doors panels are flat. You can secure them like Saturn "S" series secured the polymer (plastic) outer panels. The glass window and window regulator would be the biggest obstacle. But it can be done.

[@oliverohnemus5791]

Somehow these “upgrades” (outside of the floating axle) are more of a concern than an improvement to me. The more electric dodads you add the more unreliable these vehicles become.

[@t_cll8294]

I'm all about safety, but when you roll the Jeep off-roading, now the air bags are going to hit you, that's actually not safe. Unless they put a shut off for the side air bags when in 4-low, idk. But love the new floating axles, more power. I don't mind the new grill, but haven't seen it in person so no strong opinion. Wish they'd have the side mirrors attached to the cowl area instead of the door. That way when doors are off the mirrors still function.

[@royfreitas7583]

Because stripped down models don’t have D 44’s upfront. Lot of people don’t want all the tech stuff

I wish they would add D rings to the front bumper so you can tow the jeep behind a motorhome. They offer an Rv wiring package, but nothing else. I will be purchasing a 2024 this year and the first thing I’m going to have to do is change out the front bumper so I can tow it.

[@CurtinFortCollins]

I think Stellantis, like other car manufacturers, has crazy expectations about prices of vehicles. Maybe there are some people that can spend $80K to take a jeep off road, but due to the declining quality of the vehicles, it will require $$ to maintain. My 2015 JKUR has been very reliable and I have only had to fix a death wobble and a couple of axle seals. My friends 2022 Wrangler (Rubicon) has had like 8 recalls and several other significant repairs. I understand it is great to try out a new Wrangler and smell that new car smell..... but I would expect the quality to be the same in the new ones. Oh... I added a steel bumper and winch on mine with an after market radio with Apply Car Play and Navigation...... :)

[@backwoodstherapy]

Score one for having a simpler vehicle. My 2021 JLU Sport S with the manual transmission has never been in the shop due to failure, but I dont have any fancy things like adaptive cruise control or parking sensors. It has one open recall from the clutch plate but even jeep was like "we don't know how to fix it, stand by for updates."

[@resolutejku]

Spot on. The JK/JKUs were a good mix of mechanical and electrical. I haven’t had any issues in almost 10 years with my ‘14 JKU. I’ve seen people have numerous problems with the JLs. All these little luxuries are great, but there’s something to be said for simplicity.

[@wvjeepguy8178]

The manual transmission fix is to completely swap the clutch kit out to an aftermarket one. Centerforce has a solution if you want to look into it.

[@bwofficial1776]

Jeep has become a luxury brand. The Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer are luxurious with their equipment but the whole brand is selling the image of go anywhere, do anything, you're in a tough Jeep. The brand and history have become a luxury. People are willing to pay for that image even if they never so much as drive down a dirt road. The Jeep brand has always been a cash cow for whoever owned it.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

I love that off-road trails are preloaded. Way past time that was available. The full float D44 is great, I just wish they'd offer a full float D60. I'll bet Jeep could make a deal with DynaTrac for them to build the axle that would bolt right in. Sure, it'd be expensive, but having the option from the factory would be great.

[@markalexander774]

It would be awesome, but the expense of having to crash test them (and if it didn't do well) would be enough for them to not want to do that.

[@plus790]

Couldn't disagree more. It may sound cool, but ONX, Gaia, and others do a far better job and are easy to update. Speaking as someone with a German car from 2009, you pay (a lot) for map updates and eventually they *will* be unsupported as that head unit ages.

[@Amiga3000D]

You asked what I would like to see for the future. This will get kind of long but here we go. 1. A Jeep where I am not tracked everywhere I go. In other words, get rid of the diagnostics and anything else that is reporting back to Stellantis and who knows who else. 2. Decouple the Rubincon goodies(sway bar disconnect, small lift, lockers, etc) from a trim level. Call it an off road package that can go on any JL without the luxury items and the expense of the luxury items. 3. Make a Rubicon package with the 2.3 to 1 gears of a standard wrangle in the transfer case. Many of us want the Rubicam goodies but don’t plan on rock crawling so give us an option of a different transfer case gear ratio. 4. Hurricane twin turbo engine. Go back to a straight six. The new engine has a ton of torque with pretty good fuel mileage. 5. Offer a good manual transmission option with the Hurricane six. I know how good the ZF based eight speed is because I have it in my JLU. However, nothing wil beat the fun of a good manual so offer it as an option. You can even upcharge for it and some of us will purchase it. 6. If you won’t offer a manual with the six, offer a manual with the turbo four. That would still be a hoot and if it has the motor assist (not the 4xe) like mine does, it would be a great combination as a base engine and transmission.

Completely agree that putting both antennas in the windshield (Satellite, XM, AM/FM etc) is dumber than a bag of hammers. Trying to "clean up the exterior" by removing the standard radio antenna makes no sense for many Jeepers who're gonna add crap all over the outside of their rigs anyway. Most owners will eventually add "coms" (GMRS, HAM, CB, etc) to their rigs anyway, so the attempt to remove the stock radio antenna for aesthetic reasons seems misdirected. Also true that replacement windshields will both backordered and expensive, and 36k miles comes very quickly.

Arizona is one of a handful of states that have a law making auto glass (windshields, headlights, etc.) coverage included with all comprehensive auto insurance policies.

In fact, most of the windshield replacement companies here will give you cash back if you go through them.

Power windows have been options on cars since the 1940's! How expensive can that option actually save? Side airbags have also been around for over 20 years. None of that is new technology and doesn't warrant a large price hike. I agree with your point about a stripped down version for cost savings, but I believe that the highcost of vehicles like Jeep/Chrysler/Ram, come from corporate greed and not old tech.

It’s 2023 you know that won’t happen

[@JT_Adventures]

@@Westcoastrocksduh understood but they also don’t have 4-low or lockers. I’m implying a stripped down capable Jeep What if there was a rubicon jr - no push button sway bar disconnect, manual disconnect, 4-low, rear locker, no digital screen just a basic radio, no nav, on 32 or 33’s etc? People could still make it their own but start with a very capable Jeep that could hit most trails stock. And at a price point that the average Jeeper can afford. Buying a base sport requires thousands more to build after you buy it. I know I’m dreaming. I just think they would sell a high volume if they did that at a price point between the Sport-Willys trim.

@@JT_Adventures all wranglers have 4x4 buddy

[@EddiTaru]

Amazing review. Here are couple of things I wish Jeep did. 1. Half doors from the factory like Ford Bronco, so when you remove the doors, you don't have those awkward doors. 2. The rear door of the Jeep wrangler and gladiator is too short. For bigger people like me, I am having a very difficult time getting in and out. Wish it was like 4 - 6 inches longer. 3. Paint the roof black and or cover it with the black fabric. Or at least have an option from the factory. 4. Offer V8 Hemi with Gladiator Mojave. That would be amazing. 5. Make roof fold into pieces so that you can store it away in the trunk. Specially with the gladiator.

[@mtnessler]

Sorry Brad. We hated the red dash. Not keen on the red seats either. Like the axle and the radio upgrades. And we agree on the more expensive to replace windshield! Keep up the good work!

[@jasonlovell3934]

When you are wheeling difficult and technical trails be sure to turn the giant screen off so it won’t be a distraction. We still want a long wheelbase 2 door to replace the LJ.

[@RockX_Chris]

I really think Jeep should come out with a rubicon trim that deletes a lot of the power options like power seats, power windows, and power locks. It would be a great way for people to get a more raw jeep experience while having a cheaper way to get all the rubicon goodies

[@paly4x4]

I am so glad I bought the 2023, my wife is 5' 1" and it looks like for the 2024, we can no longer install the handles on the roll cage, because the air bags. That being said, the new screen and power seats would be nice. I dont hate the new grill, but love the old one.

[@frankferber3225]

Definitely adding the auto up/down windows on all 4. I think it should be really easy for Jeep to add that. Also for the Rubicon we should be able to use the lockers in any gear, not just 4L.

[@vdub5818]

FYI you can use the rear locker in 4 hi, if you have a model year 2020+ Gladiator or model year 2021+ Wrangler. Put it in 4 hi, press the offroad + button, press and hold the traction control button for about 5 seconds until it fully turns it off, then you can use the rear locker. 👍 Or do what I did and get a tazer jl mini and rear locker can be used in 2wd as well.

[@jeffquick7917]

Hey you’re finally in my neck of the woods, welcome! Very impressed with the changes honestly, it always seems they seem to change what they perceive will sell and not what the market really wants, definitely seems like they’ve really woken up to the fact that they loose a lot of money to the aftermarket with simple, much needed upgrades to make adventuring more enjoyable, safe and practical.

[@denism3711]

For us dog owners it would be nice if Jeep replaced cutpile carpet with a plastic or rubber material that's easy to clean, cleaning dog hair out of the carpet is tough. I have all weather mats, and cargo cover but with open windows or top off the hair still get all over cutpile carpet.

[@plus790]

Wranglers are great for people who actually use them for serious and *frequent* off-roading. That said, they are extremely flawed vehicles and simply a "lifestyle brand" for most buyers. I like this new front end if for no other reason than it serves a purpose--more air flow. That's a lesser change. What *isn't* minor is they way they have had to up their game with the release of the Bronco and other competitors--the optional V8, (slightly) more comfortable seats, and better interiors. Finally, the availability of a factory winch from any manufacturer is WAY overdue. With things like active cruise control, lane/anti-collision warnings or braking, and forward cameras, it has been inexcusable for manufacturers of off-road vehicles not to be compatible with heavy duty bumpers and winches.

[@vancejohnson4395]

Jeep, please make a two door Gladiator and offer the recon package.

[@genrethemusicgeek665]

I just got the 2024 Rubicon JL. It’s my first Jeep and I love it! I am ready to beef it up and add more to it.

[@rodpalmer4652]

The new grill does have a function. That big ol 392 will appreciate all the airflow it can get through the radiator on a warm to hot day.

[@floridasunshine330]

Love the power seats, but maybe Jeep can add memory settings? Also love the idea of cooled seats. Yes, I'm a glamper. 😛

[@wipandco]

Why are people so excited about the larger screen? I hate this new trend of putting iPads on dashboards. The only large screen you need is the windshield to see the beautiful outdoors you’re exploring in your Jeep - not a blinding TV.

[@kenwilliams4086]

When you get a chance to take a look at the jeep concept vehicles, spend a little time with the J6, the 2 door Gladiator. I haven't seen it in a while and it's the missing model in Jeeps lineup. The J6, with a GFC or fourwheel camper in the bed would be an ideal overland rig with its shorter length and wheelbase.

[@twohandsandaradio]

Increase the air flow by shrinking the grill makes perfect sense. I'm like you the more I see it I like it. I'm curious how a horizontal antenna reception is compared to a vertical.

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

The Wrangler looks awesome Brad... Don't mind that front end look at all. Better air flow is vitally important, as we all know. Love that full float !!!! Great vid mate.🚙🇦🇺😎

[@timolheiser7874]

An option for Dana 60-Dana 80 axles, with TeraFlex 4.5 inch lift packages from factory. The large grill holes are a magnet for grasshoppers into the radiator fins, in my part of the world.

[@brianschneider39bs]

I know it will never happen but I really wish jeep would come out with the most basic of wranglers similar to a CJ with no frills or electronics.

[@nicsalvadalena2376]

The four finger window button pushing, did that yesterday! I love your all up or all down button as well.

[@rioenriquez2499]

mirrors that stay in the vehicle when i pull the doors off and probably a more realistic pricing

[@donnapablos8752]

Thanks Brad for the new look at the new jeep missed you at Redmond got some of your coffee though love it and a few other goodies safe travels

[@MikeJames0316]

Love your videos! I want to see the Jeep Wangler with the 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo 510 Engine with 510 HP and 500 LB-FT of Torque as an option. I have driven the Grand Wagoneer with this engine and it was awesome! I would also like to see cooled seats. Plus I would like the Granite Crystal offered in the Rubicon X and higher trims. Plus offer the Granite Crystal with the Sky one-touch power top!

[@jbcoker]

C'mon Master Chief, you know you're getting one.

[@ICEMAN-HDnorth]

I agree with windows AUTO up and down. Note that if installing Mopar grab handles, the holes must be drilled out for a ‘24 due to larger machine screws for airbag curtains in roll bar.

[@salttrader4113]

Nice, the 2024 392 definitely looks nice!

[@SpooxyCowboy1911]

Jeep needs to give us a Dana 60 option. I would happily pay for dana 60s instead of having to do all the annoying work to put one under

[@stevetritle2101]

I just want to be able to afford one! Give me a Jeep that is simple, like my YJ. I understand there are specific updates needed to meet regulations, but I don’t want all of the electronics. The Jeep you featured is awesome, but it’s going to require a monthly payment equal to my mortgage. I can’t do that. I’m willing to pay up to $40k, so in the meantime, I am rebuilding the engine in my YJ and daily driving a Nissan. I’d rather not be doing that, but pricing makes it that way.

[@gtpjon]

Full Float & 5000lb towing on 392 &4XE should be absolute!

[@brianuncharted]

I would love to see them follow what Ford did with the Bronco and move the side mirrors to the A pillar. Makes it much easier when taking the doors off not having to buy aftermarket mirrors to stay street legal.

[@realbob6669]

Great vid. They should not argue with any warranty and change almost no question asked. Fighting with dealer is the worst thing about a Jeep.

[@StlrNtn95]

I think the vehicle color determines how good or bad the new grill looks. For me, I would probably replace it with a factory satin black grill.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I love the red leather interior. So beautiful and badass

[@---rg1gb]

The steering feel/accuracy still needs to be improved. I've owned 3 wranglers....its fine to be loose on my TJ but not on the JL....its 2023...this needs to be figured out....the steering remains too loose and inaccurate.

[@allmightygreat1892]

You are a good presenter. You speak clearly and i understand all your statements.

[@rockyp544]

Ordered my 24. The axle sold me. Doing the math . The upgrades are well over the mods I’ve already add to my current 392. So we’ll see what kind of deal is made. Either way loving this beast.

[@kingmatos1258]

They should make the back seats bigger with more room. I think the unlimited should be bigger in general. It’s tight back there for passengers. almost like a half door pick up truck in the back. Make a “XL Unlimited”

[@KeithWoods-r7f]

I do really like the new Wranglers. Especially the Rubicon. The biggest con is the price.

[@aaronmartell3046]

It's definitely worth it but the competition is very stacked right now, especially in the midsize truck segment that has all the features of a rubicon but with a bed.

[@cuirinedubh397]

I just went with my mom (because she wants eventually a new car) to test drive a Lexus mostly for fun and it felt sooo claustrophobic to me sitting in the in the front passenger seat and I realized I felt that way because the Lexus was silent. You could not hear ANY road noise in there. My mom loved it, but I could never. I need to hear the road I guess to feel alive and connected to my vehicle and the road also, so I'm glad the 24 (which is what I'm hoping to trade up for) still isn't totally silent.

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Great video, Brad. I appreciate your smooth delivery and ample B-roll. I think the price is getting out of hand, and many enthusiasts either can't afford it or take a massive financial risk on a new Jeep. I understand the need for new safety features. which someone has to pay for. It would be great if Jeepers could more easily package their Jeep with only the things they needed to keep the price down (like steel bumpers require the LED package, for example). Thanks for putting this together.

[@zachv1942]

Price got out of hand dur to multiple factors. This is for all cars right now.

[@csouthwell9180]

Add independent suspension and air shocks so you can raise or lower… and its perfect!

[@jacobboughton506]

Hidden rugged radio/ midland style radio, with a port for the mic that’s digital so all the buttons on on the mic. Remove the mic there are no extra buttons that won’t get used. Plug and play and would be a game changer in the industry. Possibly have it’s own speaker around the mirror so one can still enjoy those tunes.

[@johndonohoe9807]

Add rear steering. Make the inline six available. Put the full floating rear axel in all of the models. Buy the 3 liter diesel 6 from General Motors as an option.
