What do I think about my daily driven Jeep after 31,000 miles and 15 months?

- If you're considering a two door Jeep Wrangler as a daily driver, you have to watch this video! I've had my Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon for 15 months and have racked up 31,000 miles. Over that time I've developed an opinion on this little "commuter." Take a look at this video as I list the five things I like and the five things I'm not so excited about.
The Jeep Wrangler is a great vehicle; however, you should know what you're getting into before you buy one.
If you like this video and content about Jeep Wranglers, take a look at some of my other videos on the channel, Casey Crawls. Thanks for your support and I hope to see you on the trail!

I have a 2018 JL Rubicon and one thing learned from my godfather is that if you filled the tank when is halfway empty you will consumed less gas than waiting until the vehicle is empty.
He worked for Toyota for over 40 years as a mecha 14:28 and he thought me many tricks and I do it all the time and it works for me.
That makes no sense unless you’re making a joke? Fuel consumption rate has nothing to do with how full the tank is.
Great review bro.....thank you!!!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate the view!
Interesting comments. I agree on the window thing. Why not do it right
it would cause saftey issue ( pinch point ) some people have kids & some are just clumbsy
Just found an error around 7:30 minute mark...the V6 has about 270ish hp, not 370! Oops...wishful thinking. Believe it is about 220 to the ground.
V6 has 285 HP
Thank you. Not sure what I was thinking. @@paulastrand1796
A lot of the steering play is the Patagonias they only ride on the center tread on the highway
My 2021 3.6 V6 Etorque takes 5.5 quarts of oil, 5 leaves it a little under. Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer fix my steering.
Thanks, I’ll check out the steering stabilizer.
SHOUT OUT HOUSTON !
Good show, thanks .
Great content, I use my wrangler as a "daily" drive to work as well, although I do not go to work everyday. Agree with the gear issue, I found out a cheap "cheating" way to solve the gear issue. When you want to cruise on highway, just switch to the manual mode, and put into gear 8. Wrangler will keep in gear 8 unless speed decreases significantly or you switch by yourself. The only catch to this solution is do not forget to put it back to drive gear if your speed will change significantly or you are going to go uphill which requires a lower gear for more torque to keep the speed of your wrangler.
Thank you very much. That cheat is a great idea! Since regearing I can hold 8th gear going up overpasses now...should have regeared sooner.
@caseycrawls4466 did your fuel econmy go up with the regear?
@@mastermoarman no…prolly lost 1 mpg. Great response though and awesome on the trail.
Is the transmission constantly shifting? It sounds very unpleasant. I'm dying to get one for road trips, but I think a mini van would be better as a camping vehicle?
Yeah, it hunts for gears a bit since increasing the tire size. A regear is in it's future to fix that.
Nice .. what about back seating .. is it good for kids ?.. Thanks
It’s small but I’ve sat in it and, while not overly comfortable, it’s not bad. My 16 year old son has sat in the back and does fine.
Your comment "Little prius" regarding Toyota Prius. It's not little, you felt it's little, insulting Prius. Toyota prius is a smart car, it is a genius car.
You’re exactly right.
Any corrosion issues. I have been hearing it is pretty common on later models around the hinges. And the hood
I’ve heard of that too. I haven’t had any issues. Mine is a 2021 so hopefully I’m good to go.
Is the exhaust stock? Seems loud and the transmission is constantly changing gears.
Good ear…when I made the video I was on 35” tires and had not re-geared. The Jeep drove fine but would search between 7th and 8th gear. I’ve since re-geared the axles and am now running 4.88 gears. I really love how it drives and wheels now. As for the exhaust, I deleted the muffler. It really isn’t bad but certainly louder than it was with the muffler. In 8th gear you really can’t tell a difference. When accelerating from a stop it is a good bit louder. I removed the muffler because I was landing on it when off road.
More oil capacity is usually better for the engine. Longer life, more lubrication and cooler. Less isn't better.
2L Turbo is so much better now then V6. Averaging 20/23 city/highway. Got 27 once at 55-60 MPH. But what really matters is that the crappy eTorque is now a part of V6 drive-train, not 2L T- main reason I opted for it. Did you somehow relocate your radio antenna to the back - I can see something wiggling at the back?
Thanks for the feedback and am glad you are enjoying your Jeep. I just hit 51,000 in mine and am still enjoying it. Love the V6. Gas mileage sucks but has plenty of power, especially with the new 4.88 axle gears!
The giant wheels and tires will decrease mpg by at least 4 mpg. If you do rarely take it off did, might switch them back to stock.
Mileage is around 16 to 17 mpg with 35's and 4.88 gears. I think I lost 1 to 2 mpg with this setup. Going smaller tires with the new gears would kill fuel mileage.
gen right has a 25 gal tank fo jl wranglers
I believe that’s for a four door. It won’t work in a two door. Appreciate the comment and view.
How much does it cost to fuel
The tank is supposedly 17 gallons; however, I’ve never gotten more than 15 at fill ups. I’ve run it down to where the computer says 0 miles to empty and still only get 15 gallons in it. I’ve never run it dry so maybe there is an additional 2 gallons. Depending on fuel prices it usually costs between $40 and $50 per tank.
I was going to order one but now I'm having second thoughts .the steering thing scares me
I would test drive one. You’ll notice it immediately if its there. My wife doesn’t like to drive my Jeep because of the steering so I hear ya.
Rent one for a week or two. That will give you an honest evaluation of whether it's right for you.
Not every Wrangler has this issue. I can drive my 2-door 23 Willys Sport totally relaxed, one arm on the highway at 80 - no problem. My buddy has a Rubicon, 21 model (all stock), and driving his jeep creeps me out. Not sure if it has anything to do with the type of front axle (33 vs 44) or the factory quality control, but this is the second time that I hear a Rubicon owner talking about lose steering.
I have a 2 door 2021 Rubicon and the steering definitely had me paying extra attention on tight 2 lane roads for awhile 🤣. I must have gotten used to it though because I don’t even think about it anymore.
@@slavakuznetsov4966 My 2021 Gladiator Rubicon doesn't have any steering issue. And its a very nice, comfortable, smooth-riding long-distance road-trip vehicle...been on 3 of them already (TX/NM/CO). And mine is still factory/OEM stock...no interest in any mods (larger tires, lift, re-gearing, etc.).

Their is NO one touch window roll up for safety reasons.... such as things getting in window without U noticeing such as a scarfe, kids fingers, & so on getting pinched !!!!
That’s a terrible excuse. Lots of family vehicles on the market have one touch up windows. Even the family oriented Pacifica minivan has it!!
Complaining about gearing when you’re the reason it needs to be fixed is funny
hmmmmm....mmmmkay.
Jeep Just Expect Every Problem!
285 horse power!
Yeah, wishful thinking. I corrected it in the comments earlier.
Sounds like an EX BMW guy
My Jk was a 2 door and now my 2018 JLU has 4…I pick 4 every time now. Just my opinion
Damn u getting ducked on fuel
Mpg
It’s loud af
Sound is horrible, get a mic near your mouth.
Thanks
Open your ears, it's fine.
