Good synopsis......thank you very much.
Wrangler is underpowered unless u get the 3lt diesel. Death wobble is also still available on J.L.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Langston Lyle Instablaster =)
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.
It's spelled lose holy shit
Nah, he spelled it correctly. Jeeps don't have "loose" values 😂
"They're too easy to be pulled out; they can be stolen." Best part XD
I got the 2020 Willys JLU back in October, hardtop fully loaded. ITS AMAZING! Recommended!!
Just wait a couple of years...….
How much did you get it out the door for?
adsfafad no, the new willys 4 door cost $44 the basic
@@casinosnoopy9900 why do you say that? Do they not last long or something? 🤔
@@obsessivegarage921 The newer model Jeeps are not know for reliability , They are Fiat owned. Fix It Again Tony.
Still don’t understand why Jeep can’t put reclining rear seats in the 4 door. Passengers should be comfortable also. Especially for the price of these things
Is a all terrain vehicle not a BMW
@@henryreeve4960 have you ever seen a 4 runner?
@Gregg Sinini Quote Bugs Bunny....We better get out of here..They's way too smart for us!
I love the back seats in the new jeeps or any jeep with a back seat thats worth a shit
@Gregg Sinini Honest question in general...what you said about buying a new vehicle, is this because of the depreciation ? I've seen some vehicles where the price difference between new and used is so close the new vehicle will give me piece of mind
I rented the Unlimited with 2.0t and the drivetrain was very impressive. I got over 25 mpg from Asheville to Hiawassee. The low end torque was really impressive in the mountains.
I’ve been driving Jeeps since 1976.
Bet you’ve done a lot of walking.

So far this video is one of the best on Jeep Wrangler.✌👍🚙
A 2 door Sahara with the V6 (no eTorque) and a 8 speed would be amazing. The 2 door looks SO much better than Unlimited. It's just the classic Jeep look.
The Sahara is nothing more than a pavement princess. That what Jeep designed it to be. It is set up for pavement driving and the occasional Forest Service road.
Josh
Ok, boomer. Lol
@@Sig721Tau That's not my opinion, that's straight from FCA. There's only one Sahara in my off-road group and the owner admitted he knew nothing about Jeeps when he bought it. Everyone else has Rubicons or tricked out Sports. No serious off-roader gets a Sahara. If Jeep ever comes out with a Barbie edition, you can bet it will be a Sahara.
Hell nah, looks like you’re some white beach bum that smells like hemp shampoo
Imagine if the Dodge Dart had the 2.0 turbo AWD powertrain from the jeep
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with hard top, premium sound, 35" tires, 3" lift, light bar, winch, bull bumper and 5th spare with matching rim. A man can dream.
2 door 2019 Rubicon loaded with only leather seats excluded (don't like them), 35" tires, 2" (a hair over 2.5 realistically) lift, winch, bull bumper and 5th spare with matching rim. I did dream too... and it turned into a nightmare. Light bar and snorkel was on the list, but not spending anymore and yet to determine if I'm selling it or not to buy an old TJ again.
The diesel is currently undergoing testing by the consumers.
💥🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👍🏻
As long as it isn't a 2.8 vm 4cyl. They are a dead set lemon of a diesel.
I may be wrong but I read somewhere that this is an Italian made engine that Fiat have used in Europe for sometime. But again I might be wrong.
@@narwahlssb
Its not Fiat's fault but rather Ram's for changing the mapping of their diesel engines.
No VM Motari for this guy. 3.6 is the only one I care for.
I'm with Tommy on the Willys being the play in the current lineup. Small price premium over the Sport, good tires, diff, rock rails, and I don't have to deal with moving TPMS sensors, speedo calibration, or having five tiny steel wheels and tires in my garage gathering dust.
Thank you Tommy: job well done. You are always so enthusiastic and very well spoken. You are knowledgeable and very good at explaining features and benefits.
You have done a great job picking up the reins from your dad. I always enjoy your blogs. Stay healthy and please keep on blogging.
Thanks Tommy, nice job,
Just spent another day off road in my '74 CJ5 304 up here in Bishop, CA. It is fully factory equipped with a heater and 2 speed wipers and I loved every minute of it. Didn't miss or need any bells and whistles, buttons , cameras or screens - not that there is anything wrong with that
Thanks for the great review. I test drove a Black Rubicon Recon today and loved it. Told the salesperson afterwards that I’ll take it!! Can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow!!! 😄
How has it been
My only regret with buying my 2020 2-door Wrangler Rubicon was learning, after purchase, the Jeep dealership in Boise, ID, use deception and fraud on their customers. Buyer beware. As for my new Jeep, woo hoo, a fantastic most capable 4x4 machine! FCA handled that dealership fraud in a fair and just way. FCA is A-okay.
Looking at purchasing a Wrangler later this year. You've answered a lot of my questions. Thanks !!!
My Sport S without led lighting and without trailer tow packages makes me completely regret my purchase so bad! They’re so expensive and a pain to upgrade compared to having from factory
I almost went your route until I found out the Bronco was returning. The base model Bronco will cost around the same as a Wrangler Sport S but with more standard features.
@@Kd_rise yeah, thats the cool thing about the bronco, they were aiming to beat the Wrangler in price. That'll benefit the die hard jeep guys too because they'll probably lower prices to be more competitive, win/win for everyone imo.
@@Kd_rise the only problem is it's basically impossible to get a Bronco
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.
Tommy, this video was very helpful. I particularly liked the parts about the Willy’s Edition.
This is my 1st time ever looking into Jeep.... THANK YOU.
The Willy's sport it is then! Thanks for this comparison video.
I got a 2021 Sahara this past month. Best vehicle I've ever owned!
Do a video of all the issues and problems on the Wrangler. And which Wrangler year is the best to get

@@neilmurphy845 . FIAT= Fix It Again Tony.
@@stevebiloschaetzke779 yes that's right
Great video, I plan on getting the Willy's as a retirement gift to myself. My only dilemma was choosing between the 2l Turbo an the 3.6.
Derek Cooper same here. What have you decided and why? If you don’t mind me asking.
Go with 3.6 I promise you it will last FAR longer.
I have the turbo engine Rubicon, its fantastic, but ya, it launched, so I put a turbosmart blow valve, and its much smother, easy install and fix. And that carpet for the hard top is velcrow, yes get it. It does make difference and its nicer looking.
seems like an easy mod to do yourself and save about $400
Thank you Tommy... Thanks for the excellent info on 2020 Jeeps..Excellent job.
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.
This has become one of my favorite RUclips channels
Diesel is not about saving money. Why do people always talk about saving money? It's all about performance and range. You can travel farther without running out of fuel.
DJPelio because in some countries, the upcharge on diesel isn’t like how it is in the US
Jeep Wrangler with a diesel option definitely isn't about saving money. Whoever buys a diesel Wrangler for economy doesn't deserve to drive a Wrangler. I bought my 03 Rubicon for fun and fun only...
I needed this video!!! Brings so much clarity between all of the confusing options!
Man they’re just so damn expensive. Would get a 2-door Willy’s sport personally. Ended up at 34k with almost everything I wanted. Wish your 4-cylinder hadn’t produced issues I really wanted to go that route.
Bahaha I swear to the baby Jesus I picked that before tommy declared it his favorite. We agree on everything but I’m only 29 so that makes sense I guess 🤣
@Brian Schell I'd get a two-door Willys, too. But mine would be the real MB or CJ-2 flat-fender thing, would cost me 10K or less for a really nice one, and would likely never, ever depreciate in value.
Jerrold Shelton i definitely wouldn’t mind having one of those for weekends. I’ve done 15,000. Miles in the last 6 months so It’s more comfortable to have something newer for the majority of it
I love it. I do. But I could never pay that much. I would feel dizzy signing all the paperwork at the dealership and probably break out in a sweat.
Great advice. I just bought the 2020 Jl Sport S 2-door. I got the technology package with the 7in screen as recommended.
The dual top group doesn't eliminate your trunk space. The soft top just ships installed and they tell you to remove it or remove the hard and only use one at a time.
Waaaaaaay too expensive! FCA is trying to recoup all the money they lost with the Fiat brand by jamming you for a Jeep. Unfortunately if you're waiting for the Bronco, be prepared for sticker shock on that one.
They're doing the same thing with dodge/ram. Especially the challenger/ram 1500.
Roxy dog is there any vehicle that does not give you sticker shock ?
Evil Mofo - that sucks really that they have to mark things up like that. I live in Southern Alberta, Canada and the dealers may not move off of MSRP for certain models, but they don’t mark them up over retail. I was able to get a 2020 Vette for MSRP and they threw in a leather jacket and a couple of hats. Still waiting on it. I also bought a GT500 Mustang for MSRP. I again got a jacket and hats. (I see a personal theme here).
I have resold the Vette to a friend for cost because I prefer the GT500. We will see if I regret that or not,,,,,,, I have a few other nice vehicles and found my wife’s limit when I wanted an enormous shop. I did get a shop, but no more cars, sighhhh, hahaha!
@@cn2673 What mass recalls are you speaking of?
@@cn2673 Does a recall show a vehicle is unreliable or that the manufacturer is taking care of a problem ? Toyota just recalled 750000 vehicles so presumably they are shit in your eyes .
TFL: Watch this before you buy a new Jeep Wrangler!
Me: I have so much to learn..
WOW thank you so much. I am on the market for a new Wrangler and felt a little lost looking at the site. I appreciate the effort it helped me out!
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. After watching your videos on off-roading I've reached the conclusion a 4 door Rubicon with the 3.2 Penistar engine mated to an auto box is the best choice, maybe with a 2-3 inch lift and slightly bigger wheels.
I need you to do one of these videos for 2023!!! Which engine to get for towing? Rubicon of course
For towing the diesel is best but V6 will do also, i have a V6 and its pretty good at towing. I used it to haul around my trailer with a 100 gallon water tank and other supplies/machines. I now use the trailer for my quads and dirt bike. I wish i could have gotten the diesel but it was unavailable.
I bought a Sarge Green, 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4 door 2.0 turbo 8-speed automatic.
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.
Thank you for admitting you let the salesman ream you .
The JK jeeps wont hold value as well as the TJ. The JK is more difficult to work on and has too many electronics. Unless its a 2 door. Those will bounce back in value when all the 4 doors have been beat on.
@@sarahann530 Yeah I was stupid.
@@Youngstomata It's a JL
This video has been so helpful! The options are overwhelming and I didn’t realize just how many options have to be added on. I love the wrangler and hope to one day own one but looks like it’s gonna have to wait so I can truly get all the features I want
You should do on the 2020 Toyota 4Runner it’s a little bit messy as well.
adsfafad
😂😂😂 JEEP is very stylish car tbh so is the Bronco
This was very helpful! It's amazing how many configurations can come out of four models!
If you really look at Harley-Davidson you wouldn't be surprised
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.
GOOD SHIT!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 this is exactly what I needed to know
Just bought a 2021 wrangler unlimited Willys edition in granite gray and I have to say this video helped me in my decision
I agree that Hellayella is the best color! This was so helpful!
I have a Solar Yellow Wrangler which is very similar to the Hella Yella, and I’ve never regretted it, always been great. I will say Bikini is a fantastic color too, though, gave me whiplash first time I saw one.
Sarge Green is the best color, it’s a Jeep we’re talking about right?
I own a 18 JLU Sport S. Im thinking about trading it for a diesel Sport S. All that torque and mpg. Im going to disagree with you on the headlights. I think the stock ones arent bad at all. With the LED, you can also run into issues with them freezing over and not clearing snow. Real aftermarket full lights are coming out now. I wouldn't pay for the MOPAR lights.
Since most people are not mechanics, instead of spending $1,000s of dollars on aftermarket parts and cost of labor, if they seriously want to go overlanding, camping and off-roading, the Rubicon makes sense:
All of the aftermarket parts you want, and warranty, out of the box.
The casual Jeeper instead can go to whichever model fits their lifestyle and budget.
Wow Tommy! That is a lot of info you covered. Thank you!
Thank you. As a potential Jeep buyer, this has been very helpful.
Thanks for the video Tommy! Really enjoyed this.
Eastern California here, where snowfall is measured by the yard. My wife wants the heated steering wheel on a two-door Jeep. The problem is the cost of the Jeep is really tough to stomach considering she won’t do anything more than daily driving. She loves the Subaru Forester because it has everything including the Winter package for about $18k less than the Wrangler. If the two-door Wrangler were comparably priced to the Subaru we’d get two Wranglers.
for decades, reviewers have been crying for MORE engine options, now Jeep offers MANY options, and what are we being told? Meh, the original engine was always what you needed. LOL.
Right
I'd prefer a turbo at higher altitudes.
Thank you! This vid helped me in figuring out which Wrangler I want.
You guys do such an excellent job on the vids it's by far the best.
Thank you sir, I just bought a used Rubicon JL, with everything included! Think I didn’t even know about .!
Thanks! Great video, have a 2021 Willey's and I love it!
A month ago I would have agreed with you on the tops assessment, but I happened to have a good look at the one-touch top over the week-end am now hooked on the idea of it. Fantastic video, by the way.
Many months in, and not all that many complaints about the diesel, I'd opt for that in a Gladiator Rubicon,.. but then again I've driven the Euro Diesels and like them in most cases.
I bought LED headlight bulbs for my 2020 Ford E450 class C RV for about $35 on Amazon. The stock headlights were also dangerously dim. Took about 30 minutes to change em out.
You can get the Sky One-Touch Power Top and 8.4" Radio (4C Nav) and Premium Audio Group(Alpine) with the Sun and Sound Package on Sport S, Willys, and Freedom.
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). Other than that, I consider axle options as a “treat”. I would be hesitant with all the options stated in this video being “required”.
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)
Thanks Tommy,
Please make some more videos featuring your Jeep.
Just bought a jeep 2.0 all white rubicon unlimited ❤️. In love y'all
I really want a 2 door since it’s just me n the dog lol, I’d go fishing everywhere
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.
I had the ecodiesel in my ‘14 Ram 1500. It blew just like many others at 70,000 miles. It was replaced by Chrysler without any issues. I loved the engine until the blowing incident. You must use special oil and filters, will cost +/- $200 each oil change. Just a little food for thought.
Stock gorilla glass windshield would be great
Tommy - outstanding summation. Thank you.
I just pulled this up today and totally enjoyed it. Thanks Tommy!
I wish the diesel came with the manual. A 2-door diesel manual would be unreal. But I'd personally choose the 2-door Willie's trim. Also I always avoid proxy keys.
Love my 21 Rubicon alot... only problem is I get other car's high beaming me when I'm not on high beam..I talked with the dealership and they haven't had anyone else complain..
Very comprehensive and down to Earth assessment. ✌🏽
I just rented a Jeep and I don't know what's wrong with your folks. Lol That turbo 4 has me sold. That always ready to go attitude in such a useful vehicle is addictive. I literally found myself cruising in it faster than I do in my Mustang GT. Put this engine in anything else and folks would be loving that turbo noise too.
I miss the old Willy's WWII Jeeps.......4 cylinder , 60 hp types. My grand dad had one ( Mil Surplus) made in 1942. He'd lay the windshield down and off he'd take me fishing as a boy in the 1970's. Grand dad's been gone 25 years, the jeep a tad longer...... Wish Jeep made a anniversary military style WWII Jeep , bet they'd sell tons of them......I'd buy one!
You put in some work for this one....good job sir.
Wow Tommy! Outstanding video. You've done alot of homework for Jeep buyers. Thank you!
The Willys sport seems to be the best option
We have a wrangler and it’s been so much fun. We make RUclips videos in the backwoods of BRitish Columbia and we haven’t had a.problem yet.
I was thinking the S was just abriviated Sport, now I know there different, Many Thanks
Do a buying guide to showcase whether higher trims and options are worth it compared to getting a base Jeep and upgrading parts yourself. Compare the cost, hastle, and quality of 3rd party parts (or used from a junk yard) compared to forking over $$$ for straight from factory.
As an over lander, the diesel is the only option that would sell me on finally buying the Jeep. With over 500 miles of range, it only makes sense.
yeah, the problem there being... its diesel . you know that dirty fuel
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.
@@Rich_123 Thanks for that info. Confirms I'm not crazy.
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.
2.0 4 cyl for me, very nice mileage.
But requires premium
Great video and review of the Wrangler. I didn’t realize body painted fenders are an option. I thought I had to get the Sahara, which I’d probably the model I’ll get. I thought I wanted the Sky top but sounds like the hardtop is a better option. Great job!
Love it! ❤️
As a Mainland Chinese, stoked to know Jeep is now owned in part by Dongfeng of China 🇨🇳 #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024
Special order is the way to go. Get all the options you want and don’t pay for the ones you don’t. Also you won’t pay MSRP get $750 over invoice so no need for haggling with sales.
Willys 2door is what I’m looking for. Great video, thanks
That's what I have and I love it.
FYI Northern Cali. does get cold especially up in the mountains.
That's a great video. Masks me want to go get a Rubicon. Like the options. Just need a winch. Thanks for sharing.
Good points, my only personal gripe is the headrest angle. Miss the old TJ seats.
Just hoping they provide more engine options for manual transmission.
This was extremely helpful, thank you for the review. You broke everything down perfectly and sensibly. I just subscribed
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.
it's get's twenty below zero in MN
