You just simply buy cars you can afford. Jeep wranglers are good looking toys, they don’t loose value as much as other light trucks do. Especially, if you made modifications to it. You can buy faster cars, but with a Jeep you can’t get to where the Wrangler will. Amazing for the beach, a monster in the snow, made for the mud.

[@markclaypole1573]

Worth noting there’s actually 2 versions of both the pentastar and the 2.0T. The only 2.0T with eTorque is available on the Sahara. If you choose the 2.0T on Sport or Rubicon it does not come with eTorque. eTorque can also be added to the pentastar (on all models I believe). In previous years all 2.0T came with eTorque and the pentastar was not available with eTorque. For 2020 there’s technically 5 engine options considering above including the new diesel.

[@anthonymrskipt9252]

I have to say, I was a lot more enthusiastic about our JL before the rear window exploded out the back from what I truly believe was an overheating rear defroster (the wire was melted) in 25 degree weather. Jeep refused to cover it, saying they were “not aware of the problem.” Even a short search on the internet surfaced several examples of back windows breaking without obvious external cause and at least one other report of an overheating defroster leading to a blown out rear window. No very happy that it happened at all, but the fact that Jeep wouldn’t make good on it ($1300 so far and the defroster hasn’t been fixed yet) was the real disappointment. We’re also on the 3rd windshield (our cost), which already needs to be replaced. Clearly a known problem and I can live with that, but the rear window is a way bigger and scarier (just ask the kid who was sitting in back when it happened) issue. Not my first Jeep, but maybe the last.

I live in the UK in Cambridge, the roads are all little, fuel is super expensive and there are no hills anywhere let alone trails.

LEDs, larger radio, cold weather, safety, etc are classic upcharges. Not needed. The way I was taught was always get the trailering group and snow plow prep (for trucks).

[@SonnetGomes]

Thank you. As a potential Jeep buyer, this has been very helpful.

[@HandsonJ]

Very well done review. However I think most folks especially in the Jeep community, don't give enough consideration to the selec trac option. To me it was the deciding factor between buying a Rubicon vs buying a Sahara. Fact is...I am not a serious rock crawler. The selec trac is not just a convenience thing it is a very useful unique feature with unique capabilities. In Full Time 4-wd you have basically a limited slip transfer case, witch is great for on road snowy, icy, rainy, conditions. No binding when you hit dry pavement patches. Then of course the transfer case has all of the other normal positions too, 2H, 4H, 4L, etc, all locked of course. To me this feature was more valuable than the Rubicons 4:1 ratio and axle lockers. I opted for the limited slip rear diff and plan to install a front diff aftermarket locker. The Rubi is always depicted as having the best 4wd system (cause of the ratio's and lockers) however depending on the applicable use, it is lacking when compared to the Sahara's optional selec trac system.

[@JTRSpartacus]

Good overall review. A bit exhausting. A couple points...The eco diesel has been in Ram trucks and Grand Cherokees since 2014. Unfortunately you can’t just slap a winch in the stock steel Rubicon bumper. Requires a compatible Mopar or aftermarket winch plate.

[@RKmndo]

A stock Sport can handle the Rubicon. BrakeLock is like a 4-wheel TCS, and it's on all JLs. Diff-lockers and 4:1 tcase gears are available from the aftermarket. You don't have to buy an expensive Rubicon to have a capable offroader. I wheeled a stock CJ7 and a stock YJ for years without all the expensive and complicated Rubicon doodads and electronics. They were a blast, even without the $30K+ doodads. When the 1997 TJ Wrangler debuted in late 1995, base MSRP was under $10K US.

I have a 2019 Unlimited Sahara with every possible option, including Sky One Touch and ACC. I spent way too much and it's depreciated 45% in one year. Not all wranglers hold their value like they used to. My wrangler pulls to the right and nobody, not even the dealers, have been able to resolve the problem. I did recently figure out that the jeep is not level, maybe due to the gas tank being full, which could be the reason for it pulling to the right. . Other than that, it's a good vehicle.

Where does the dog sit? Goose gear maybe able to fix that. KZbin JT builds are rediculous. Everyone I have seen is over the top "overlander" or rock crawler with crap hanging all over them and 40 inch tires. Try parking that at Costco. I love the Gobi color on the JT.

Is the Rubicon a better ride than the Sahara?? I currently driver a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 Eco Diesel so I am a fan of Jeep ( note the diesel smells right through the cabin when using for long periods, hopefully the redesign for the Wrangler Eco diesel engine many issues are addressed cause they're were many, but great torque and gas mileage)..but the Wrangler had its purpose and is May be best suited in better climates been driving Jeep Grand Cherokee since 2011 first had the Hemi filling up with has every 4-5 days got rid of it for the Eco diesel. Would love a Wrangler Rubicon but not confident enough to pull the trigger.. Just my FYI thanks for the great reviews from your and your dad Tommy

Wow Tommy! Outstanding video. You've done alot of homework for Jeep buyers. Thank you!

LED tail lights are actually a safety feature. They turn on about 1/2 second faster than tungsten bulbs, which can save you from being rear-ended by the guy behind you. Old news, promoted by MB and others for that reason.

You can still use the heated seats and steering wheel in California. I'm in California and it get 25 degrees back when I'm getting up for work at 4am.

This was extremely helpful, thank you for the review. You broke everything down perfectly and sensibly. I just subscribed

2.0 4 cyl for me, very nice mileage.

[@fallguy4209]

But requires premium

[@derrick1125]

That's a great video. Masks me want to go get a Rubicon. Like the options. Just need a winch. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Watched a ton before finally purchasing my rubicon yesterday. I preferred the hardtop 3.6L, absolutely didn't want the 2.0L etorque engine, but wasn't opposed to the new non-etorque turbo 2.0L. My must have list included LED lights, cold weather group, tow group, steel bumpers, and 8.4" display (for the premium stereo and the off-road apps). It wasn't easy finding what I wanted in state, without other options that I didn't want. In the end it came down to accepting some other options without paying through the nose for them. I ended up with a new 2020 ocean blue rubicon with the new non-etorque 2.0L, which is fine for my use. It has all of the options on my must have list, but also has two options I would not have purchased because they are very pricey and not necessary - the sky active roof and the upgraded wheels. I bought this rubicon after a month of searching because of the price. It was $9k under msrp, which was lower than other rubicons that had most, but not all the must haves on the list. My only comment is about the upgraded wheels with the stock Falken Wildpeak tires. This vehicle wanders like mad on the highway. I didn't notice that on other rubicons I drove with the BFG AT's. I'm assuming the wandering is caused by the aggressive off-road tread of the Falkens? Tommy, maybe you could talk a little about what to expect from the tire choice.

Go to the JL Jeep forums and read the 300+ page thread on steering issues.

[@loma2477]

@@Rich_123 Thanks for that info. Confirms I'm not crazy.

[@loma2477]

Checked the cold tire pressure. They were all at 42 psi cold. Lowered them to 37 cold as the info listed inside the driver door specifies. Drives much better now. More like what I'd expect with those knobby tires. Steering input is very sensitive, but steady in a straight line. Dealer must not have set the proper pressure prior to delivery. Again, thanks for the help.

[@BartStar009]

I TOLD YOU !!! I AM BUYING THE FORD BRONCO ! I ordered one! (the Wrangler can't go faster than 50 MPH without it feeling like the wheels are falling off)

[@davidcampbell1760]

Great video, I'm considering the 2021 Willys right now..................

[@wowcrazy70]

I really want a 2 door since it’s just me n the dog lol, I’d go fishing everywhere

[@montanamountainmen6104]

I hear you. I wanted the 4 door but the monthly payment was more than the wife wanted to spend. I opted for the 2 door 2019 Sport S and love it, so does the wife. We hunt, fish and run the mountains of Montana the 3.6L 8 speed does great, 19/29 with 33 inch tires.

[@ryan2stix]

Best part about my jeep was the resale value...listed it on kijiji, sold it the next day.

[@dmzflightmedic]

Great job, a lot of homework there. I ordered a TJ Sport from the factory before they were even on the lot... had to have the big 30x9.50 tires! Hahaha Ordered the Wife a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited (trail rated with tow package) and we had to have the tan interior and burgundy paint. A LOT OF WORK BUT WE'LL WORTH IT!

[@jonasbennett9237]

Thanks for the video Tommy! Really enjoyed this.

[@wvjeepguy8178]

It's important to note that with the diesel upgrade, it includes upgrading both axles to dana 44s, similar to the Rubicon, but without lockers. This means that you can get a sport with diesel and be pretty close to a Rubicon on drivetrain, minus the lockers and lower range transfer case. Factory lockers are junk anyway, and you can buy aftermarket units that are much stronger.

[@monserenergy700r]

Almost. The rubicon does have a higher spline count front and rear. The diesel gearing is the same no matter what though. Also, the stock lockers on the JL are pretty bulletproof

[@jondrew55]

@@monserenergy700r Yes, the stock lockers are good. Unless you get the dreaded "Axel Locker Required Maintenance" light. I was fortunate it got covered on warranty. Seems the hall effect switches in the axels can get oil intrusion and go bad. The only fix is replacing the axel. Mine is a 2018 and as far as I know they have not fixed it yet on current models.

[@MsGcourtney]

For sure you know more about the Jeep Wrangler than Jeep does. Thank for this well done review of each model Can you answer a question for us? Does the sport Willy that has the same Rubicon shocks and something else that’s also equals a Rubicon. The next up Willy does it also have the LED lights also have the Rubicon extra on it?
