I think it's steering better because jeep started putting new beefed up steel steering boxes. I got the old aluminum steering box replaced in my gladiator and it now steers the same as you describe.
I'm not a fan of American vehicles, especially SUVs, but I get why people love them. I did see an F80 BMW M3 yesterday, which looks a lot better than the new one.
It’s not bad it’s a little pricey for what it is though I never thought I would here Diesel in a Jeep which is cool and I love how you guys switched it up by saying torque first but with that I see why lol I hope you guys had a great thanks giving take care guys you the best
@Tommy Senpai there is ?
how much price for this car ???
In Petrol cars : first HP then Torque
In Diesel cars : first Torque then HP
Because the diesel have a lot of torque so they want to trick you
Actually both engines first is Torque then Power. But in diesels all comes earlier torque 2000 rpm power 3000 rpw. Petro torque 4000 rpm power 6000 rpm. For me suv/truck/4x4 must be diesel. Evrt else petrol is better. But in Europe we have very very good diesels.....here 3.0 V6 is amaizing. BMW have 3.0 V6 diezels with 0-100 for 4.7 sec etc.. so yep. Merica...no diesels...
@@veselingramatikov diesel sounds sh*t
@@cc-rc8qj except larger diesels, small ones I agree but big ones under load sound beast.
@@cc-rc8qj do you know toyota v8 turbo diesel in 79 series? Sounds so good...
Hearing "Torque and horsepower" is like hearing Doug DeMuro say "features and quirks." It just ain't right.
Lmao u right
At the start of the video I was thinking to myself, “Imagine a diesel v6 jeep with a automatic transmission that has launch control.”
It's weird to me that diesel isn't the default in big 4x4s like this
It is in europe
It's not big
It's everywhere except North America
Because diesels use less fuel. Oil company's pay manufacturers to keep producing inefficienct gas engines. That and gas engines are cheaper to produce.
I wouldn't call the Wrangler necessarily big tbh, it's width and length are similar to an Accord
Most people wanted a diesel in the wrangler because of the torque for off roading and rock climbing. Not for towing ability really.
Yes.
Also, fuel efficiency
Aaron Lauenstein yes,that as well.
Moving into neutral and 4lo with the transfer case you're supposed to be rolling forward at a low speed. If you do that it should shift a lot more smoothly.
Opposite most other trucks lol
@@TheStraightPipes I’m pretty sure the four wheel drive selector is an actual manual lever vs an actuator.
@@jacobhoward5939 it is
@@TheStraightPipes insanely unreliable.
@@e70_x5_guy4 The 4Low selector is unreliable? I don’t really do much off roading especially where 4Low is required. May go through a campground once a year and a State or a National Park once a year. I’m thinking about buying a Willys Sport 4Dr. Trying to decide between a Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner or Honda Ridgeline. Like an SUV for room as I’m 6foot + we get snow. I’m a middle aged dude living in an urban city in Ohio raising my two little grandkids so... the Ridgeline is the practical choice. The Wrangler is the fun choice. The 4Runner is the reliable choice. Hard to decide between the 3.
Everytime yuri says "torque" and "horsepower" he *BECOMES EVEN STRONGER THAN BEFORE!*
It's honestly second best after "This is sparta!"
Same with Doug and "THIS".
It's his" hi guys I'm shmee"
Cup holder isn’t an issue in America where a small cup is a large in Canada
And an American large is just Canada.
@@jdm3gee14 keep wishing that
@@freebirdp3887 I meant Canada as in the land size. Not the US taking it over.
America runs on Dunkin whereas we don't supersize Tim Horton's
4 Lo engages way better if you don't hold the brake. You're actually supposed to engage with a very slow roll for easiest engagement. You really don't want to force a cable actuated transfer case.
I like your funny words, magic man
"we know a lot of you guys are" lmao glad i'm being appreciated 😎
Called out* 😉
@@TheStraightPipes pls review the CLA 45s amg
@@Idk-gn6bh Yes plz
Once you drive a modern diesel engine, you can never go back to a NA gas engine. The torque is so addictive!!
I almost paid the extra for the diesel. Almost. Then I realized how reliable the 3.6 gas has been vs. the diesel. Save the cash, get the gas and get more off road goodies.
Love how Americans put diesel on such a pedestal, in Europe diesel means your nans '1.1L 3 cylinder CRDI Kia Rio' 🤣🙃
It’s mostly because you rarely see a diesel in anything but a pickup
@@kilroywashere9343 and then it's some mad 7L V8 madness
People here (American) consider anything before 2L as small economy engines, diesel or not. Pretty unusual, really. I'm not a fan of SUVs, but they are everywhere and for some reason believe that a car like a Honda Accord are not family cars. A friend just bought an Explorer as her family car and it's ridiculous.
botched experiments like the Olds diesel killed Diesel in america for consumer cars, hence the novelty
@@Hempujonsito I think its to do also with the higher fuel cost in Europe, also in many countries diesel is cheaper than petrol (gas), but not in the UK, we even had a 0.8l diesel smart car!
I've had a Wrangler of some kind for the last 9 years and love my current 2018 Rubicon. The Bronco looks cool and has some cool new tricks, but I cant see myself ever leaving a Jeep. I will be one of the first in line for the V8.
“Eco” diesel
"Fuel economy"
@@carholic-sz3qv the diesel is already cheap why u want it economic
I actually laughed out loud thank you!

The caps lock is just above the shift key man.
It's worse its FIAT... Fix it Again Tomorrow
@@lamoona4269 ... Vision problem? 😂
One BIG problem..... its a fiat diesel. Enough said.
Thats right fiat is nothing but junk.
It’s the same shitty engine in the ram... so many faulty problems with this diesel 😭😭😭
@@alexkhan7027 yeah they are known for just blowing up because of cheap metal they use. Maybe the second gen will be better though
FCA
Fiat dosent make bad diesel cars here in Europe diesel Fiats are everywhere
Well if this engine is as unreliable as the v6 eco-diesel has been so far, you should be able to find one of these a lot cheaper on a trail near you
Most vehicles in North America would make more sense with a diesel
electrikoptik That is not completely right. Diesel is cheaper is most European countries, but the diesel equivalent for a petrol often is 3.000 to 4.000 euros more expensive. You have to calculate if it makes sense for you to buy a diesel based on the Kilometers you do on average and if it fits the car
@@electrikoptik Getting a Diesel version of a car does cost extra in europe, for example: a BMW 320i (gasoline) costs 39.000€ and a 320d (diesel) costs 42.000€. The engines are more complicated to make, so they are more expensive. But how you said, the fuel is cheaper so people who drive a lot tend to take a diesel over a gasoline/petrol engine.
In North America and where I live in ny diesel cost around a dollar or more power gallon. I couldn't imagine putting in 18 bucks more every 2 days in my altima and not sure about diesel maintenance. Im getting around 36mpg. With diesel i might avg low 40's. Not that big of a difference compared to the added cost of a diesel in America.
No!
Such an idiotic comment.
A 4-door wrangler is basically just a family suv.
Just offloaded a 2020 Sahara this weekend completely stock on regular tires. Amazingly capable as is!
So happy you guys are wearing those speed academy sweaters!!!!!!!! Love those boys over there. They should get more love then they get. Great content.
I love these, but their reliability has consistently been terrible, especially the diesel versions. Its sad tbh but at least they're fun
Every time a reviewer pops the hood on one of these, I see a repair & maintenance nightmare. And they like to minimize the cost: "a $3,500 option," when it's actually a $6,000 option if you're happy to row your own gears in the gasoline V6 vs the automatic tranny required for the diesel.
Nice hp & tq figures. I used to have a 2003 Dodge 3500 with the Cummins diesel and it was 235hp and 460 lb/ft of tq. Diesels have come a long ways.
"10, 11.....14 aaaand 16." Damn Yuri really has trouble with counting huh
We didn't show the boring boxes without names on them so we could fill it up with every box for an accurate count
Great to see your showing the love for Speed Academy!
Have 10k miles on my ecodiesel Sahara & it's been great.
I am getting 28.2 to 28.9 average mpg with mine...(thats average, straight highway is 33.1) it's also a Sahara.... don't know where they are getting their $$$price from.... my every option, premium stereo , leather seat Sahara Altitude was 48,252... I am willing to bet the negative comments are from people that do not own one, and have no first hand knowledge of driving one..... they are great!
I straight up didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. I keep watching and get recommended your videos so I wasn't even aware. Well now I'm subbed! Love you guys!
I’ll be curious to hear you guys compare this to the Jeep Hybrid coming out!
Ecodiesel is a fire waiting to happen. I've had 2 friends burn down at less than 100k from EGR sticking open... sold mine asap
Fall, wherever they film, is beautiful
Wrangler! Of course!
I'm an OG American Bantam/Willy's/Ford/Military Industrial Complex "Jeep" fanboi...
Sorry, but the inline 4.0L H.O. was/is the BEST engine ever for one of these.
Here I am in India (a diesel fan) driving my 1.3 l multijet diesel Suzuki swift and thinking oh my God the torque! It's 75 hp and 200 nm.Thinking of modding it with intake,remap,hybrid turbo's coilovers. Well it still feels fast and fun.
I think I rather have the bronco but the jeeps are cool too
Nah, I’d have the bronco but the Jeep’s are not cool. Iconic? Maybe, but they are very dated and are in desperate need of a refresh.
@@fishynishy6227 Why change it when it works? Bronco wont touch it on hardcore trails. Straight axle > IFS
@Captain Caveman My uncle is an optometrist. I can hook you up with an appointment
@@ryanmaestas8005 I don’t know the technical stuff, but the Jeep just doesn’t feel new anymore. The interior doesn’t justify the close to $40,000 price tag. For that price, you could buy a used Land Rover or a Mercedes GLA which Both are higher quality and have much better interiors.
@@fishynishy6227 if you are buying it for offroad purposes, its worth it. Most people that never even take it on dirt dont get their moneys worth. Its not supposed to be fancy, it's supposed to go anywhere you want. All vehicles are ridiculously priced now
I definitely peeped the interior of the Mojave gladiator when you were complaining about the cup holders. Can’t wait for that video
On Patreon tomorrow
Flashing the Pepsi GMT eh? No longer repping those poverty watches. Dude can't help himself 🤣
Guys, you have to try the 2.0L Turbo in the wrangler. It’s surprisingly quick and should be faster compared to this motor.
I think where Jeep will sell a lot of diesels is in the Gladiator
I’m so savage, I get to StraightPipes videos before RUclips sends me a notification
Let me get you a free beer
🍺
I have the door stopper hinge go in the door before. You just need to tread the screw in while the door is almost closed a few turns and while its in, just open the door and it'll come out, then completely tread it back in!
Finally! Jeep has been promising this powerplant for decades! Now if they just make a 2 door Gladiator with this engine!!!!! I've owned 4 Wranglers!
This diesel is a maintenance nightmare. We bought 40 Ram 1500’s with the Hemi motor and 1 Ram 1500 with the diesel. No issue with any Hemi Truck and major issues with the only diesel. Fuel mileage was no better it sucked towing and never worked at all compared to all the other Rams, which hauled chemical drums every day of their lives. So unless they’ve fixed the issues avoid this motor like the plague 😷😷😷 from a guy who put 220,000 km on in 3 years.
I think you guys are the best reviewers out there.
I know you got triggered when he said torque and horsepower.
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Hi friend now I have friends thanks 😊
Torque and horsepower
Really is pathetic going on every car channel self advertising
The reason why it doesn’t float anymore is they change the steering box because of all the complaints. The steering box is now made out of steel instead of aluminum and they change the gearing.
Dang I’ve never seen a Jeep do a burnout except for Stradman’s
I hate the cup holder because the center console is so high. I love how I can rest my elbow on the center console while I drive. SMH
Legit shocked at the price. I'd definitely get (lease) a base Defender over this
Got the first one in my city. Glad I waited for the diesel version.
Just scored a Rubicon diesel and I love it! FYI - this eco diesel is totally redesigned for the wrangler.
Love my ecodiesel! Wish some companies would come out with some delete options though :(
Love fall in Canada and watching all the trees changing colors 😍
The earliest I've even been to posting on one of your videos. Glad I'm here and I'll take the Gladiator too Yuri
But are you watching without subscribing 🧐
@@TheStraightPipes 🤣🤣🤣 I've been subscribed for probably longer than a year now. You guys are amazing and I'm glad you responded ✊
The intro music ALWAYS suits the car they are going to review🎶 🚗
Got my contact winter contact tires today, inspired by this channel!
You don't have to hold that...
Yea but once you start holding it
😂
Any vehicle with a blue exterior and beige/brown interior makes me go MMM! Looks so good!
It's the Wrangler for me, in blue!
You should do a series of subscriber cars that a lot if I’m not sure if it’s been recommended before but it would be cool to see some older or slightly different cars. Great video
The music at the beginning of the video is as if I am watching a documentary about snakes
It's a song by David Attenborough
@@TheStraightPipes name?
Great drivetrain! I had an Ram 1500 4WD with it and I loved that truck.
I think I want you guys to review the Bronco more than I want a Bronco.
Doug saw this and said, let me drop the Bronco video
Yuri and Jakub: make sure you guys get your winter tires cold weather coming soon!
Me: Laughs in Floridian
You guys are so entertaining idc what car you do even your minivan reviews are amazing.
Thanks!
Two words that I will never associate together in an automobile
Just wanted to say cliche corner looks amazing this time of year with all the foliage 🍁🍂🍃
What I'm waiting for is Wrangler Hellcat
THE PERFECT CAR
Love this power train in my ram. I've out 13k miles in 3 months and no problems so far. It revs out like a gas engine, is super torquey, starts instantly even in negative temperatures, and gets 28 to 30 mpg average highway with 4wd.
What do you get when 4x4 is not engaged?
@@catchthefire4Him I meant having the extra weight of 4wd equipment In general. 2wd got the higher numbers. I think having it in 4wd got like 25mpg highway
Edit: these numbers were with a hard tonneau cover which definitely made a difference in mpg
Wrangler & Gladiator
That music at the beginning is wonderful
Yes, Tim the Toolman Taylor reference! Totally made that same reference the other day
The KJ had this roof thing here. That was a disaster. Now its it's back.
Its still so cool though
Jakob-nice taste, my man! SS Rolex Pepsi GMT, hard to find. What a beauty! Wear it in good health, my friend!
Thank god someone finally mentioned how annoying the manual great is in wranglers ..
I own a 2018 4 door JLU. Its such a fun vehicle. I am tempted by the diesel.
But has FCA fixed the electrical problem it was plagued with in the beginning?
Nice amped up intro Yuri,glad you listened bud😌
You don't actually need to go to the dealer to pull that door stopper back out if it goes all the way in. I have a 2019 Wrangler Rubicon, and that happened to me, but I just had to put a screw driver through the screw hole and pull. It is very hard, but a lot better than going to the dealer. There doesn't seem to be any damage or anything on the door, and the door opens and closes fine, so I would at least give it a shot, and if you can't get it to pop back out, then that is when I would suggest going to the dealer.
72K CAD for this.. Jesus.. That is insane money. As much as I think Jeeps are cool that is a massive commitment. I think the Gladiator is cooler looking myself as well, and I would choose the diesel option for sure. Love the Speed Academy representing as well!!
Shoutouts to that soundtrack to start this show!
Don't know about other European countries, but here we have had 2.2L (200 hp, around 400 - 450 Nm) Diesel option for Jeep Wrangler for few years. Would love to have the 3L option.
Don't like wranglers, or gladiators and I'll definitely never own one.. but this is great that they put the diesel in there.
Yuri is studying to be a botanist in the seed academy
Just came across your channel and love the reviews. Subscribed.
I personally drive a 2 door JK Wrangler that I got new and have modified over the years. The diesel isn't really for towing, its the torque and the fuel economy. A gas Wrangler will average between 16-20L/100km offroad. A diesel will be 7-10L/100km offroad. On highway economy will be about the same as well once big tires, lift, and camping gear is added in.
It sucks that this is only available in the 4 door and that it is priced so sky high. You wouldn't make up the cost difference in fuel economy if you just used it as a city vehicle.
The + & - on the shifter is oriented the right way!!
As someone who works at an FCA dealership and drives at least 2 EcoDiesels a week and at least 5 Manual Wranglers a week I agree with Yuri, I HATE DRIVING MANUAL WRANGLER JL’s. The clutch wack. The best power train is what Jakub said is the EcoDiesel with the 8 Speed
No love for the 2.0L turbo?
@@F2FTech those things are garbage
@@tylerengram Seen a lot come in with issues? Now I’m curious.
@@F2FTech just have to careful with Engine Temps. I just think that it could be a lot better in my opinion.
Great episode thank you. I have a 2 door JL. I love my Jeep!
These eco-diesels are rare as "Hens Teeth"" now Everyone is snatching them up. Took me two weeks of steady hunting to find mine. Then it just popped up at a dealership an hour away. Out of the Blue. We were the first people there. We opened it up, so to say. We looked inside and looked at the window sheet and was amazed at all the features and packages. Sales guy said a guy ordered it. and when it came in he saw the price $$$$$$$$$$$ and bolted. He never came back, they had to hold it so long. Since he put a deposit down. Then the dealership basically forgot about it. His loss my gain. They cut the price a lot since it was a 2022. Then gave me 25 k for my old jeep and we put 10k cash down as well. And we still have payments lol. But I got my dream wrangler. They have a ton of the Gladiators a ton of them. Some of them are eco-diesels. I tried to get in one and didn't fit. Anyone over 6 ft is not going to fit either. They are super small inside. So small I couldn't even get into the back seat. Sales guy said they made them after a Chinese guy. Most men do not fit in them. So, if you're on the small side. Here you go . They are practically giving them away. I bet there were #30 of them on the lot.
Now Jeep has announced that a V8 will be in the next Wrangler!!! Now if a 2 door, V8 gladiator shows up before the ECO diesel, it's mine!
Do NOT get a manual if you plan on making it the “daily” the 6 speed sucks in wranglers 😖
it doesnt feel mechanical as the jk i know id get anoyyed with the feeling for a while so thats why i got a automatic
@@michealcorleone665 i only drove my buddies jk briefly it felt smoother and less crappy for sure. But i had my transmission and clutch replaced by 900 miles. 2nd gear went out on my JL. Heater core was faulty and would get coolant fumes in the cab. And now have traction control issues. 😂
I got a 5 spd TJ with a 4.0L and every week it sees the trails with my other buddies in a local TJ owner club. 230k miles no major problems at all, and still on the original clutch. I was gonna get a 2015 JK until I heard things about it that makes me decide just to stick with the TJ and make an effort to find a CJ instead
This is my first “new” vehicle. Used to have a 88 ranger 4x4. it was way more comfy and reliable than this lifted fiat has been so far lol. They sure dont make em how they used to.
They say in this video that it's only available in auto
rocking a rolex GMT master II ! 🔥🔥🔥
Now this is a JEEP that I would actually buy!
0:49 ... Tuesdays + Fridays r perfect. Too many RUclipsrs r so scared that we’ll forget they exist, if they don’t post 4-5 days a week. It’s SO sad. 🤦🏻♀️
I have an ecodiesel Ram until I put the Banks derringer/pedal monster on it, it had the throttle response of a tractor. Now it drives like its got a meaty V8 in it. To all my friends that own Wranglers... get one of these. Thank me later.
Wrangler and gladiator yes, “no”bronco, I’m happy to see that the bronco is out but jeep has earned it bragging rights, you cannot go wrong with a Jeep-purchase no matter which model you get.
A lot of the cars in the UK are diesel. It’s slightly more expensive at the petrol/gas stations. But with a 3.0L twin turbo diesel in a Range Rover you expect around 35-38 mpg on average. A 1.6tdi with a 7spd DSG gets around 65-70mpg
It's good to see Jeep make some interesting stuff, but the new Bronco is captivating.
