RUBICON IS THE TOP SPEC / TOP END MODEL AFTER THAT SAHARA COMES .
Superb Review Thomas. Great car. Agree, Jeep needs to send you to Utah or somewhere, for an off-road test in a Rubicon, to tell us in detail about the the sway-bar disconnect!
Where are you come from?
i guess it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
Thomas is one of the best reviewers around, Jeep needs to send him to Moab ASAP for a proper stress test session. Thank you, Thomas, for yet another great review.
thanks so much!! =)
And here I thought Autogefühl will take a break till next year...this is a very pleasant surprise.
always keeping u entertained :)
Love this vehicle,it sounds tough,nice review Thomas,thank you Autogefühl & thank you Thomas.
Best review of the Jeep on RUclips. Cheers from America 🍻🍻
Best greetings!
Very good, Thomas.....as usual.
braving the cold weather to still review this car for us..thank you very much for your effort thomas 🙏🏻 we appreciate it!
Thanks 🙏
Now that's getting closer to affordable. We need to see you driving this offroad somewhere bad. Always a great brand. Thanks Thomas.
Nice and sharp review Thomas👍👍👍👍👍👍, from the real and bautiful Sahara with love ❤❤❤🐪🐪🐪
Such a great and legendary off road vehicle. Jeep, a true icon
I would love a detailed review from Thomas on the Rubicon trail!
Yes, you need to have a Moab field trip! Nice review - maybe we could get a comparison with the G-class in Moab!
Utah? Yes please!!!! Great video, thank you for sharing.
I am an Australian and this the best review yet on the JL Wrangler. Thank you very much!
(And I love German food) :)
.
Appreciated!:)
Thomas! You are simply one of the best car reviewers anywhere! Keep up the good work!
thanks so much, spread the word :)
You are still the top car reviewer.Thks Thom.
thanks Bruce!
...I've had my Wrangler since 2011...I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had ***NO*** problems with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great review as always from Thomas... I love this car... it has such character, I really would love one!
Great review, entertaining and thanks for the info. It is definitely a "lifestyle" SUV... especially for those of us living at the beach! Thanks again.
Thanks 🙏
Thanks to your wonderful videos I had a good time in 2018.
I also expect your activities in 2019.
Thank you!
👌
What a cool vehicle!
Excellent review. I have the Sahara roll up top and love it. Your comments on the 2h and 4h are spot on!
Cool :)
This car is just out of this world! I’m so glad that they will now be coming to the Brazilian market next year with a starting price around R$ 200.000,00 (approximately 45.000,00 euros) depending on the model.
It's a Jeep not a car
@@chillywilly6775 in my country, we classified big SUV as Jeep on paper.
Great review, i kinda hoped for Rubicon version but this Sahara is almost there.
Greatest thing in the world would be a group test of legends :
G wagen vs Land Rover Defender vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Lada Niva .
Without talkin about anything regarding engines and equipment but only about drivetrain,lock ups and 4x4 systems on them in general.
So many people dont know how/when/where to use locking diffs even they have them in cars.
PS. i see that Thomas has really enjoyed drivin this car , thank you for making it more excited ;;))))
=)
Well done, Sir. Well done.
I will be ordering a 2 door Sport in that beautiful blue with the freedom
hard top and manual shifter very soon. Can't wait to buy my first Jeep!
Great review. Great explanation of steering👍👍👍👍
appreciated !!
Great review, thanks! Just ordered a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon so that I could get the soft top!
Enjoy!
Love your videos!
Thx! Feel free to recommend 👌
Cool car! Jeep should organize some off-road event with the new Wrangler so that you can participate and show it to us of course :)
Thomas in Utah?! Yes please!!!! 😀
I think this is the best jeeb until now 👍
Great review as always, I love the new Wrangler!
Dear Jeep folks - please organise for Thomas to do an in-depth off-road review of the JL in Moab!
👌
Thomas and Autogefuhl need to drive/test this Jeep off road ASAP :-).
Excellent review.
thanks so much, please recommend our channel =)
Had the Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Sahara as family & offroad vehicle and loved it very much. But my wife did not like it (too uncomfortable and loud, even though it was a Sahara), so I sadly sold it and bought a (used) Jeep Cherokee KL as our family vehicle, and an old Jeep Wrangler YJ for offroading and topless driving with my son. That was a good exchange, but I still miss my JKU...
So maybe I will buy a JLU someday the next years, who knows, but its shocking that the prices went up from 38k (JKU) to 58k JLU) here in Germany.
Very nice gift from Santa!😀
9:19 This is the view I have been wanting to see since I have big dogs. Thank you.
Jeep Wrangler is a Great 🚙 my wife and I just bought the new Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition 2018 trade in with our 2013 Jeep Wrangler 2door very happy, lots of good improvements
compare to JK. We have a 2017 C class Mercedes Benz also but for some reason we mostly choose to drive the wrangler, so much fun
We put 118000 miles on our previous Jeep.😊😎
cool man enjoy :)
Ali Eshragh May I ask what engine did you go with? Thanks 🙏
導演立帆 3.6 👌
Took my ocean blue rubicon out today in the mud and it’s amazing, can go everywhere and do everything. Some sketchy mud holes and it was like I was in the pavement. Non issue. The swaybar disconnect was essential though, you’ll get tossed around the cabin quit a bit in a non rubicon, that swaybar disconnect really levels out the ride and lets the amazing suspension articulate and do its job perfectly
Cool!
Hope you get that trip to Moab Thomas! I am looking forward to getting our own diesel version of the JL for North America!
cool enjoy :)
Another enjoyable review as always, Thomas.
In the UK, the 4Hi auto would be just normal 4x4, then 4hi part-time would be considered 4x4, but locking the center differential.
Sadly, the EU variant of the Rubicon is watered down and uses the selec-trac system as well, as you have just reviewed. This uses CV joints on the front axles rather than u-joint. They have a greater range of motion and allow for the 4hi-auto, but are significantly weaker than u-joints.
@jeep get Thomas to Moab, Utah to test the JL trough completely!
So cool to see the Wrangler driven in Europe where it seems to tower over typical traffic...I would love Thomas's driving lounge come to Moab, UT!
yeah lets do that =)
You should definitely show us how the Jeep handles some advanced off-roading! :)
yeah ! =)
i always enjoy the soothing voice and accent with the detailed review... gute arbeit mein herr! well done not including too much of a soundtrack. and good job to your video man behind the camera. hood struts are perfectly fine for a rugged vehicle... but on the wrangler not having them allows the owner to lift the hood all the way back to rest on the windshield instead... better access into the engine compartment for modifications/maintenance. in off-road climbing situations the 4 door wranglers are often much better than the 2 doors due to the longer wheelbase.. and on the road the longer wheelbase provides a bit smoother ride.
👍👍
If I had one no off road just city driving and highway I think it would be fun to drive. quiet cabin.
Thomas, have you ever been to Salt Lake City, Utah in the winter? If not, you should drive this jeep through the beautiful mountains and enjoy!
Only to Moab region so far, I would love to go to SLC region!
Great review Thomas. I just traded my 2016 JKU Rubicon for a new 2018 JLU Rubicon. The JL is better in many ways from the JK. I hope Jeep will invite you to Moab for a real Jeep adventure. Then you will really experience the fun side of owning a Jeep. All the best from Vancouver Island, Canada.
👍love vancouver island!! Seen our Panamera reviews we did there? :)
Thomas I would love to see you driving the new Wrangler on rock trails in Utah! Please Jeep - bring the very best RUclips auto reviewer to Utah!
👌👌
You should drive the Jeep on the Rubicon trail!
You’re absolutely right
Dave Coleman (Mazda) mentioned that on the highway AWD Mazda`s use AWD as it stabilizes the vehicle. So you are right by picking that up.
I wish there would be a Wrangler without the freedom roof. It would make the vehicle quieter and allow more space inside. Especially these rollbars in the trunk are a downside for as when camping. I understand choice and some people really use freedom roof.
Perfect color vehicle!!!
This car has so much character.
It's a Jeep not a car
Of all the reviews I've seen on this car, this is the only one that explains how it really drives...
thanks Stefano!
Great review, sir. I've owned 5 jeeps over the last 35 years, and the JL is my favorite thus far (OK, maybe my second favorite: I don't think any Jeep will top my CJ-7, bare-bones though it was). Did you ever make it Moab?
thanks! Yeah I did :) ruclips.net/video/jj5m0lGbsFo/видео.html
Great looking jeep and superb review. Would love to see the off road or snow capability sometime. Over to you Jeep ;-)
you want to see its off road capability check out light bright studios. that have taken that jeep through over and in everything.
I got a 2018 and i like that it doesnt say jeep on the hood ... smae color looks exactly the same
Love the modern yet still rugged interior. Also, the 2.2 diesel seems like the perfect power plant. I wonder if it's available in NA?
3L is the diesel in NA.
Great review, Thomas. It really seems like a great offroad car. I will most probably prefer the V6 petrol if ever it was a choice.
cheers man!
I do own a JK 2010 lightly modify for some off-roading, but mostly we use it for camping and enjoy outdoors life. It is also my daily driver. Jeeps are rugged cars and always will be because it’s in their blood, but also they are a lifestyle, the Jeep wave and more.
I also own a BMW 328i which is the one I use when I want to feel the best driving feel in the world, of course it would be better a 3M series, but is out of my reach.
Thank you for your reviews and I wish you and all your Team a Happy New Year!!
cool, great to hear your report!
So the mirrors allow better viewing when the vehicle approach is far, but is no good when its closer?
I amazing video. I am trying to chose between Range Rover Evoque and Jeep Wrangler. This definitely sways me a lot more to Jeep.
I hear there is a automatic retractable hard top version available now. What would you prefer between the normal hard top and the automatic one ?
Cheers! Automatic always sounds good ;)
I love this car
The transfer case in the Sahara being demoed actually has the optional 4H Auto (full-time AWD system). All Jeep wranglers come with at least the 2-speed transfer case (4H / 4L)
yeah i also talked about that in the driving part
The 4 door is actually more capable offroad rock crawling and hill climbing than the 2 door. BTW Wranglers are not called 3 door or 5 door. FYI the only model that comes with differential lockers is the Rubicon. I'm sure your Sahara looks great at the local mall but if you want to play in Moab you will need a Rubicon or some aftermarket parts like lockers on you Sahara
That version costs 100.000 euro in The Netherlands! :-) Very interesting car, really different and does not look boring or like a typical lease car. Great color too. Seems like a vehicle that provides a sense of occasion every time you drive it!
David NL come to USA 🇺🇸 and buy one for the 39000$ 2019 . That’s around 33000 euro.
100k euros? That's 115k Dollars....Holy Moly! Crazy taxes i assume. Your politicians smoke too much pot. 😱😱😱
hmm in Belgium it costs around 65.000 euro
Nice to see the difference from a Euro version than USA. Wish we had the diesel option.
Great review, love the detailed approach. Wondering what is the real life fuel consumption difference between 2.0t and 2.2d. I currently own Renegade trailhawk 2.0d and I'd love to have Wrangler Sahara as next car.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for your perspective on the Jeep Wrangler. When I saw you driving it in the 'appreciation' video, I thought Jeep made a custom 'Thomas Blue' edition for you. Having driven other vehicles off-road (Audi e-tron, etc.) it would be interesting to see how the Jeep Wrangler compares.
Schöne Ferien
:)
Hahaha.. I just noticed that your drive route is the route I used to the baumarkt! From which dealer did you get the Jeep? One you can recommend? I plan to buy the Rubicon.
Have you driven the 2.0T? Can you recommend that engine given the anti-diesel extremist currently in power?
only driven this version so far! we get the cars directly from the manufacturers :)
There were some models with bad steering, I think you have got one. Mine is not doing that......? There were some problems with the electronic steering box.
I want to see Thomas drive a Jeep in Moab :)
Ah that Moab related intro brings back great memories! Stunning color for this Jeep as well!
:)
Hi Thomas, just come to Romania to test the Wrangler, any road is basically mild offroad, and then the offroad ones are really offroad! Oh, and nothing is ilegal here.. :))
Hehe 😏
I'd love a wrangler but the tax in Ireland is nuts on these, plus the base price is a lot more expensive, must be the RHS conversion.
Interesting to hear /see a Jeep from a German view. We need to get you over here to Utah or better to the Rubicon.
yes! :)
Nice Car
Thomas please, does the interior rattle ? Compared to a Touareg (previous gen) which one offers the best refined driving experience ? Thanks
Best is to compare the driving parts. It cannot be compared to the Touareg afaik, 2 totally different vehicles.

Great review: It would be great to see it in a proper off road setting. Utah or Moab, you choose...
yeah!!
nice
I would like to buy one. My only concern is a lot complain about leaking on the roof, some owner say it's a pain, can't be fixed. Here in Florida rain a lot whole year.
Robert C huh
Year 2019 and a leaking roof? Terrible!dont buy with sunroof
@@attorneyattorney1190, the removable front panels are standard on the Wrangler hard top. Jeep calls the Wrangler hardtop the Freedom Roof. Traditional sunroofs aren’t an option on any Wrangler model. So if you get the hardtop, you get the removable panels.
Thomas drive a US spec JL Wrangler Rubicon in the USA.
I d love that!
MY DREAM CAR
I would like to see the off road test course, since it is very capable of it!
Thomas's Driving Lounge................... Schön.
=)
excellent review. much cooler, if off road segment would added....
We ll try that!
One Star in the Euro NCAP Crashtest :-) :-)
That's because Euro NCAP is a nonsense test. It puts too much weight on automatic features (auto braking, lane assist, bla bla) nanny tools that real drivers hate, and on how safe it is for pedestrians... pedestrian safety is not my number one concern, and the poor safety rating for pedestrians means its got excellent zombie killing power.
@@BoopSnoot That is not true. www.euroncap.com/en/results/jeep/wrangler/34192
@@RobertCraven70 I'll take real world stats over controlled tests any day. The Jeep Wrangler performs better than average.

Great video. Can you tell your subscribers anything about the frame weld cracks?
Here is the story:
Jeep JL
Earlier this month, Fiat Chrysler announced a recall for over 18,000 2018 and 2019 Jeep Wranglers because failing welds were causing a critical suspension mounting bracket to detach from the frame. Now we have the instructions for how Fiat Chrysler plans to fix the bad frames, which the company said could cause some Jeeps to “crash without prior warning.”
Between May 7, 2018 and Aug. 21, 2018, Jeep’s Toledo North Assembly Plant used frames with an “off seam [track bar] weld location” to build up to 18,055 new Jeep Wranglers. The result, Jeep says in its NHTSA Safety Recall Report, is that likely around 720 vehicles (4 percent of the recall population) have track bar brackets that could potentially “[separate] from the frame.” This sounds like something you’d never really want to happen to your vehicle for a number of reasons, but Jeep identifies that it could possibly lead to reduced steering response and even a crash.
Fiat Chrysler previously told Jalopnik that it planned to inspect all 18,000+ vehicles, but now-thanks to dealer service instructions posted to a Jeep JL owner’s Facebook page-we know how the company will actually fix the roughly 720 cars it expects to find with bad welds.
The first step for dealers is to lift the vehicle and check out the build date code on the frame. If that number is greater than or equal to 126 and less than or equal to 156, then the vehicle was built in the May 7, 2018 to Aug. 21, 2018 window, and its owner should be offered a loaner car as the Jeep gets inspected further.
Vehicles with frame codes in that range will then have their track bar bracket welds-both the inboard and outboard ones-cleaned. From there, with the steering wheel cranked to the left to help give better access, dealers will paint the vehicle’s three-digit VIN to the outboard frame bracket, and take a picture of both welds like so:
Those pictures, along with the frame build date code, the vehicle’s VIN, and the dealership’s information, will be sent to a “Track Bar customer care representative,” who will take a close look at the welds’ positions.
If the representative looks at the photos and determined that the welds are in the right spot, then the Jeep is all set, and no repair will take place. But if he or she finds one or both of the welds to be out of place, dealers will arrange to have a “Technical Weld Specialist” come to make the weld repair. But before that can happen, the dealer has to take some stuff apart.
To prep the outboard weld to be repaired by the weld specialist, dealers are asked to disconnect the battery before lifting the Jeep, remove the left front wheel, undo the track bar nut and bolt shown above, and then take the track bar off of the poorly-welded bracket on the frame.
From there, Fiat Chrysler says its “Technical Weld Specialist will perform the repair on the outboard weld.” There are no further details on how exactly the specialist will conduct the fix, but clearly the job will involve welding that bracket back onto the frame somehow. Fiat Chrysler told me via email simply: “Weld will be made to comply with specs.”
Once the weld specialist’s job is done, dealers will bolt the track bar back onto the frame (with a new nut and bolt), throw the wheel back on, lower the Jeep, torque down the track bar nut to spec, and then give the vehicle back to the customer. That is, unless the inboard weld also needs to be fixed.
Repairing the inboard weld is significantly more involved than fixing the outboard one. In addition to lifting the Jeep and removing the left front wheel, the air dam has to be taken off, and four steering gear mounting bolts have to be removed (to get the steering gear box away from the bracket weld location) after the track bar has been unbolted from the frame bracket:
Each sway bar link’s lower nut and bolt also have to be taken out, likely to get the sway bar out of the way. Then, by grabbing the right front wheel and turning it, the vehicle’s wheels need to be pointed to the rightmost position. This will pull the steering gear away from the frame, and thus away from track bar bracket to give better access to the inboard weld.
That’s when the Technical Weld Specialist will perform the inboard weld repair, or possibly replace the entire bracket.
With that done, dealers will grab the front right tire, and turn the steering linkages to the leftmost position in order to line the steering gear back up with the mounting holes in the frame. New bolts will then be threaded into the steering gear and torqued down.
A new bolt will hold the track bar into the newly-welded (and possibly entirely new) bracket, and new bolts will be used to hook the bottoms of the sway bar links back to the steering knuckles. The wheel will go back on and get torqued to spec, then the vehicle will be lowered, and the sway bar and track bar bolts will be tightened.
Once dealers install the air dam, do an alignment, and check the work via a test drive, the Jeep will be all fixed and ready to go back to the customer.
Jeep lists how much time dealerships can bill to each procedure in the table below:
So if you’ve got a 2018 or 2019 Jeep Wrangler affected by the recall, now you know what type of surgery might be in its future.
wow thanks for the info!
cool, I’m excited for this!
Please also offroad review of the new Wrangler!!!
i d love that
I still dont get the rear hatch..it is opening on the wrong side .. this setup is for left driving countries.
It should be like on the Gclass, opening on the right side so you can load/unload stuff when you stop somewhere.
Almost all cars are like this jeep and it is so annoying when the rear hatch is blocking the way when you need to hold something with both hands and the hatch is blocking the way to the side of the road (sometimes when parked in front of or betwwn cars). otherwise very cool car, love it
Dublin waiting....
Where did you get the spare tire Jeep cover?
How were the welds in it? Shitty?
Car made for fun 👍
Made by Fiat 😁
It’s always nice to see a review of Thomas !!
thanks!
Heh.. It's actually made by Jeep in Toledo plant, but thanks.
Interesting Vehicle. Somewhat oldschool and stylish. But the Toy car Willys-Icon everywhere is ridiculous...😊
I'm a fan of YOU!
😁😁 #1 FAN
I Hope you love an idea of Mercedia The Adorable Digital Companion!
Does the euro spec Wrangler come with blind spot monitoring?
yep u can get it
Does any of the jeep wranglers have adaptive cruise control?
The MY (Model Year) 19 has it as well as Emergency braking assist. They will be available in Europe in a few weeks.
