Capsule Review 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
In the darkest depths of the era Cerberus, Chrysler person could have predicted how the new all-popular "JK" Jeep Wrangler would be. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the amazing cross-section of people buying the Wrangler. Each of suburban parents, types of upper management white collar and my own mother. This, incidentally, is a vehicle that still uses a comprehensive framework and live axles!
In my own opinion, the success of the Wrangler comes from several different factors. The most obvious is the availability of unlimited long wheelbase model, which offers four doors and a suitable rear seat. Second, JK and JKU were significantly improved during the TJ; in addition to a stronger framework and a better body, things like the roof options have been greatly improved, while the creature comforts such as heaters have been brought into the modern era. Third, it has been continuously improved since its introduction; a new interior in 2011, a new engine in 2012, and various features, options, and trim over the years. All this was done without removing the Jeepness thereof; removable doors, drain plugs, the folding windshield and unmatched off-road capability. Think about it, it has a windshield freakin fold! In 2015!
The JK is now in the autumn of his years, but he is as young as the day he was born. It can be configured as a soft-top base model with short steel wheels all the way to a fifty thousand dollars to four Rubicon doors with heated leather seats, audio Alpine, roof trim, climate control and remote start. You can have half doors or solid doors and three different heights in nine different trim levels. Choose a manual six-speed or a good damn good five-speed automatic. There are more than 1989 catalogs thick telephone books filled with accessories. AEV HEMI V8 will drop and convert in an impressive pickup truck for you. How much money do you have?
A friend of my hard-ish core Jeep (TJ own with 3 "lift, wheels summer) said it was sacrilege to have some of th ese options on a real Jeep and something about Jeeps being built not bought. My other friend Jeep (fuel injection 84 CJ-8 33s, wheels very often) like the way the Wrangler has evolved and would buy one if he had money. Look for Jeep internet forums and it is obvious that people who love their Wranglers off road as much as those who transport children in them. 33s can be stuffed without lift kit, 35s with a spacer kit $ 0. a winch can be hidden behind the bumper of the plant, and the wings can replace to straddle a few hours. the Rubicon comes from the factory with Dana 44 axles, locking diffs and the electronic disconnecting stabilizer bar for better axle articulation. I do not understand why the idiots might illegally imported Land Rover Defenders when the Wrangler is so good.
It is undeniable that the Wrangler drives like a truck in the street. He does not like sudden maneuvers, but it was not dramatic when I had to avoid a moron who could not see a huge yellow Jeep in hi s rearview mirror. The seating position is high, so look ahead and lead the defense. Respect the Wrangler, and it will make a fun daily commuter. Or you can go buy idiot-proof Cherokee. Tower Road is much less painful than it was in older Jeeps, but not Range Rover.
Wranglers are a ton of fun, but they are not for everyone. The doors are small, the front seats lack lumbar support, rear seat backs are almost vertical, and the door is kind of a pain. Wranglers are noisy, big, bouncy and thirsty (16 city / 21 hwy). None of this really matters, as you may already stopped reading this and you are planning a weekend for the biannual ritual hardtop soft-top swap. It is a perfectly imperfect vehicle of snow in winter and in summer the sun as well, and I think all the fans should have one in their lives.
The Wrangler starts at about $ 23,000 and unlimited around $ 27,000. The very picture Baja yellow Wrangler Unlimited Sa hara, which comes standard with color matching wings, power windows and door locks, and side steps begin to $ 32.295. The Sahara offers options that may not be available on other models, such as leather heated seats for $ 1300 and hardtop body color for $ 1,895, remote start $ 495 Alpine audio that sounds really good considering the fact that it is in a box can, is $ 795. The Uconnect system with nav, hard drive, SiriusXM, and a USB port is $ 1,895. Throw in a connectivity package, automatic transmission, and a change of destination and are looking at $ 41,515. Thats a lot, but it is still much cheaper than any fight Defender 110.
Kamil Kaluski is the East Coast Editor for Hooniverse . com . His ramblings on Eastern European cars, $ 500 runners, and other various automotive things can be found there. His first car was a 84 CJ-7. One day he met a cute chick who was driving a black SS with manual transmission. He married this girl and now have two children who love Jeeps, but unfortunately do not have a Jeep!
FCA US LLC provided the bright yellow vehicle for the purpose of this review. Seriously, yellow body with yellow top and yellow wings is a bit much. I tried to get muddy but my favorite building site was closed, so I managed to get salty.
