Jeeps are great for the purpose for which they are built. The only problem I have with them is how over-inflated their costs have gotten. It's ridiculous.

I drove Jeeps for 6 years and really enjoy the versatility of the Jeep. My first was a ‘12 JK & now a ‘17 JKU. Been my daily driver and has been very reliable. The 3.6 has lots of power for a Jk or JKU. It’s not a sports car and not built for a comfortable ride. It’s a Jeep. I bought it because it’s a great ride year round. Top down in the summer or running snowy roads in the winter. We get both in WV. Basically people don’t buy them for speed, comfort, or gas mileage. They buy it for the versatility & best off road vehicle (or on road) on the market.

My dad has been a truck driver since the 80s so when it comes to buying cars I ask my dad since he sees which cars are unreliable (depending on how many times he has to tow certain makes and models). I asked him about jeep wranglers and he says he almost never has to tow one or ever get called to pick one up. according to him they are pretty good. he has a huge sample size and has no bias lol.

I just gave my 2015 JKU to my son. Never had a single issue, and we drive it hard. He’s over the moon happy with it. Great car.

I have a 2007 JK - and this is the MOST reliable vehicle I've owned so far. I use it on and offroad in stock condition. With regular oil changes, tires, and brakes I have had ZERO maintenance issues and just crossed 120k miles this past weekend. If you want an American classic for offroad use and onroad style, buy in! JEEP IS GOLD. Resale is always high, they retain value forever, so you can always get some money out and upgrade to a newer model with additional investment. Plus, for hobbyists, they endless accessory stream for Wranglers is a natural. The JEEP is customizable as both a daily driver and an offroad monster.

Just bought a 2014 Wrangler Sahara 2 door this year. It was lifted by the previous owner but I replaced the 35" mud terrain tires with stock sized all terrains and it drives so much nicer. I didn't buy it for a comfy ride and fancy interior, I bought it because it is like a truck and the interior is basic and the seats are comfy, no clue why people complain about them. I am 6'2" tall and weigh 280 pounds and I fit in it comfortably. I also like that the back seat can simply be removed.

As a proud and very happy Jeep Wrangler owner I think a video like this is long overdue. Before I bought my Wrangler I told my mechanic (a rather experienced mechanic at that) that I was buying one. His response was that I was making a smart choice because they harldly ever break and when they do they are relatively easy to work on. Cheers TFL

You exit the car, turn around, look at it and you can't stop smiling ;)

I had a 2008 JK. For the 11 years I owned it, I loved it! The AC/heat work flawlessly. Not much road noise and I ran 32x12.5 Dick Cepek, Mud Country tires. Wife didn't like the cozy quarters of the JK so, she didn't ride with me much. :) I'd sell my current F250 if, the new Commander, could pull my camper. To the Jeep haters, It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand!

2013 JK owner here, problems I have... 1-Replaced starter twice at 40k miles. Second starter was cheap AutoZone so it failed right away.
2-electronic sway bar disconnect stopped working. Water got inside it. Replaced it with anti rock. Much happier with the Anti Rock.
3- windshield wipers turn on randomly. Can't figure out why but I have reason to believe the electrical system isn't that great.

As far as comfort and refinement I love the JK. Seats on the Rubicon are so soft. On my 2017 RAM my ass hurts from sitting too muc long. My Jk has a basic Bluetooth and honestly that's all the amenities I need to be refined

1995 wrangler 4.0cyl 2.5 liter with 215, 000 miles. I keep maintenance up on it and it still holds up beautifully. I daily drive it and take it on trails and even rescued a few people with it. Definitely a reliable vehicle.

#DDWrangler Unlimited Rubicon - totally stock. Love it - drives great to and from work and play. I plan to "Just Empty Every Pocket" as much as I can to make it my unique Jeep...

[aRKade]

2008 #DDWranger with over 170, 000 miles. No reliability issues other than what I would consider typical wear and tear. Definitely not the most refined vehicle to drive but I LOVE being able to drop the top during the summer and drive through blizzards during the winter on my long daily commute. Not gonna lie and say it is a perfect vehicle though. Defrost and windshield washer cover the middle of the windshield but don't get the driver side particularly well. Consumes oil so it needs to be topped off periodically. Door hinges corrode causing the doors to stick, paint to peel and water streaks below. Not sure if these issues have been fixed in newer models. Hopefully when the next Wrangler redesign happens things like this will not be an issue.

"And then it fixed itself". I can't count how many times I've said that about my Jeep.

I've owned forty motor vehicles since the '70s, typically several at a time. My '13 Wrangler 6MT 2 dr hardtop is the first Jeep I've owned and it's easily in my top five favorite vehicles out of the forty. I've taken it on hiking and camping trips all over the West and it's my go-to daily driver (I don't have to commute for work). It's had zero problems so far in 56k miles. It's unlifted with 285/70R17 (33") BFG AT/TA's, which is a great combo for driving either on or off road up to and including sustained freeway speeds, and the 6MT makes it fun to drive. It's the perfect combo for what I use it for, which is mostly on road but with some hilly, sandy trails with occasional wash-outs thrown in.

Just one more thing. No matter what you own even if you have never had a problem with yours. Someone else has had a problem with the same make and model. Everything can be beat down and bad mouthed. I believe that if you treat your vehicles like it were a woman. Meaning take care of it and dont neglect it, it will serve you well. I'm no spring chicken. I bought a new 72 Toyota Land Cruiser in 1972. They gave me crap about buying it and said it would never last. Well it served me well until a couple of years ago when some guy offered me 15 times what I paid for it new. Take care of your stuff and they will last. Now if some guy would offer me 15 times what I have put into the wife she would be gone too.

no issues to date and i had my jk since 2010. It's just like any car keep up with routine maintenance and its fine. Plus I have features on top of features remote car start, nav, apple carplay/ android auto, back-up cam just a few. I think my ruby is doing fine, and loved the purchase! #dailydriven

I am the proud owner of a 2018 f250xlt, my wife owns a 2018 jk unlimited. It’s a chief blue model, loaded. It’s her daily driver, and she loves it. I must admit, I also love it. It puts a smile on my face, every time I get the chance to drive it. I think it’s better in city driving than it gets credit for. My wife is 5’0 tall, she loves it for shopping, she finds it easy to park, due to how well she can see. We are Canadian, my wife looks forward to snow now. That is where this vehicle shines brightest, bad road conditions. I have more confidence in that 4door Jeep, than in my f250, or my Bobcat, in a snowstorm. I push snow for part of my living, I am a decent driver, in an emergency it’s the wrangler for me. Love the channel guys!

I never imagine owning a Jeep Wrangler and after owning my first Jeep 2016, it turned out to be the best investment for my family. My wife fights with me almost everyday because we agree in taking turns to drive it. But that was one agreement that I couldn’t honor. 😁

#DDW love my jeep. They are great... as long as you know what you are buying. For example, one wouldnt buy a honda accord and be upset that it doesnt tow well, or a 2 door truck and be upset that the small space in the back wont fit a kids seat. I think jeep people understand the jeep. The saying "its a jeep thing, you wouldnt understand" is very true
