Very interesting when non-Jeep people try and walk people around a Wrangler. Right away Alex claims Jeep as a division of FCA does not like to draw a linage to the WWII Jeep. He is wrong. He also stumbles around typical Wrangler characteristics of folding windshields and implies that a Jeep owner would be lost without the provided tools from Jeep. Alex is surly a passenger car driver and probably a Toyota or Honda. These type of folks dont really understand vehicles like a Wrangler. Alex should probably stick to foreign passenger car reviews.

The cabin noise is what drives me nuts about wranglers. Thats the number one reason its a no-go for me. The removable doors/roof offer no sound insulation at all. Thats fine for a weekend off road rig, but terrible on a daily basis. I have a 2016 4Runner limited. I personally am curious how my center diff stacks up on and off road to the wrangler. Alex you are my number one favorite reviewer online. Keep the great reviews coming

Apparently KDSS will actively adjust the sway bar on road, Ive heard drivers using vehicles with KDSS can actually feel it start collecting where the vehicle will start getting body roll and actually pull itself back upright, so it does have some advantages over the disconnect, although I suspect that the electronic disconnect is both more reliable and probably better off-road even if not as good onroad.

i dunno about the new wranglers look, the beauty of the old one was that you can mod it anyway you like and it would still look just as nice if not better, throw on jerry cans, shovel, pick, as many LED lights as you want, hi-lift jack, winch, etc. you can do anything you want to it or nothing and it was nice, this wrangler might not be as forgiving of mods.

I imagine if they gave up highway capability they would be exempt from the safety and fuel economy standards so I doubt this car will cease to exist because of cafe, it just might end up limited in speed at some point in the future. Lets be honest here, should people really be buying an off road vehicle that gets low 10s mpg to commute in?

As a 4Runner TRD owner, I really hope FCA did all their best in this Wrangler. There needs to be improvements that lead to positive competition. Diesel 4Runner would be a welcome outcome, though unlikely. Getting outdoors and off the beaten path: the one thing that unites all folks who drive such vehicles.

I know the wrangler and tacoma are two different types of vehicles, but Id love to see them compared against each other. I see on many other videos the taco and wrangler going head to head on trails and wonder how you would compare them, Alex. Or just a review on the Tacoma TRD Pro would be nice

Alex, thank you for your review. It looked like you were having fun off road: -)Jay Leno once said, they should pass a law that would require owners of off road sports utility vehicles to take their vehicles off the road at least once a year, or they wouldnt be allowed on the road.

I personally prefer manual transmission for off road. That said, I have not tried an eight-speed automatic. I also prefer a manual transmission for everything, I feel the control is unmatched. It seems odd to hear someone argue for automatic on a Jeep Wrangler.
