how is the transfer lever holding up i heard it breaks if you use your 4wd a lot I know it did on two on mine, seems there is cheap linkage fastener that only holds the the cable shifter so if breaks while your shifting your stuck in low gear or worse neutral and you aint going no where , so someone please address this please.

@awinski999 i know but unfortunately, i can't anymore. apparently it takes up too much gas and isn't really safe... plus the insurance is super expensive! i'd be better off with a mustang! which is my second choice :P good luck getting that though :)!
@Strawberry1139 oh well i mean they get better gas than the jeep im driving now. so thatll be a step up and insurance will be less if you get a hard top
@taypuc31 agreed. my buddy Just got a JKU with the new 3.6. the only question marks my buddy and I have are more along the lines of how do you work on this engine? sure at the end of the day they are all nuts and bolts...but the 3.6 is so much more complicated than the 3.8 or the 4.0...
@azminivanracer it's definitely more complicated yes. My dad has an '07 4 door with the 3.7 and my brother has a grand cherokee with the 4.0 The 4.0 is WAY more simple to work on.
Most of you people talking about the little euro diesels ,saying that diesel is not reliable well maybe you should try a Cummins 4BT or the 6BT these motors will last you a life time if , you take care of them.
@kop4321 Prius??? LOL! I would never buy a Prius. I have Volkswagon TDI that gets as much as 50 MPG. 360,000 miles on it and very few issues. Still boast great compression, I expect many more miles.
I'd like to know what they're smoking at Motor Trend magazine and if I can have some.
In the new "suv of the year competition", they listed the Unlimited Sahara, hardtop AUTOMATIC transmission, as being .01 seconds slower to 60 mph than the TWO DOOR MANUAL with a friggin soft top. Are they out of their minds???? The 4 door unlimited is almost 1000 lbs heavier then the 2 door.
It blows my mind that Motor Trend could make such an error, in not only their magazine, but also on their site.
does it honestly make that much of a difference to the 2011? I know 2011 is slow, but its a Jeep! I have not got one yet, but when the 2012 is released here in Australia the 2 door Sport will start at 39k, for a unlimited sport it will be 43k and add another 4k onto that if you want diesel. I was thinking of just buying a 2011 Unlimited used when people want to get rid of theirs to upgrade, will I be happy with this decision? It will be my daily driver to and from work, just worry about size.
I have wanted a wrangler forever, thing is I only like the JK 2 door but it is not a viable option :( I need to carry passengers and a kayak, and for going away on holidays the 2 door would be too small. The 4 door just seems like it will be a pain in the ass because it looks so big and bulky, not so great driving in the city.
And Yet you people at MT did not even blink twice when it came down to SUV Of The YEAR what a bunch of Hippocrits you Praise Jeeps overwhelmingly but do not give the the deserved allcolades I think The Unsubscribe button does indeed look good right about now
I love pentastar its like nissans VQ engine but not in a wrangler maybe the charger, in this you need the large dispacement turbo inline 4, aka the 2.8 lol
I cant believe oter auto brands with their family SUV's claiming their off roaders, this is the best looking true offroad vehicle in production i mean look at the wrangler it looks like a true 4x4, has a frame, a longitudely mounted engine, removable panels, simple features, love it, when it comes here with the diesel in the next 2 years I'll buy one
@mahatmacoatmahandbag nah jeep for about 2 years didnt dramatically change anything on the wrangler include it's engine. but surprisingly this year it got a 80 hp boost. so yea i was wrong. but the weird thing is that under the bonnet it? had a chrysler pentastar engine, so off road abbilities should be better. 0-60= 8.2

@m6rees if it wasn't for the Jeep Wrangler, there really wouldn't any offroad suvs!!! And you include the Ford Explorer? That thing is nothing but a crossover now. The Land Crusier? How many of those were sold last yeat,like less than 10,000? Didn't even know that it still even existed! The FJ crusier...bullshit! The FJ 40 is still better, but was heavily influenced by the Jeep CJ and others like it. Anyway you slice it, most suvs these days take their traces from the willy's jeep from WWII!
@m6rees 2011 Ford Explorer is NOT off raod worthy and you listed over priced bullshit. Yes the new GC is overpriced. The Wrangler is king off road. Coming from a guy with a ZJ and a FIRST gen explorer
@MrSweetleaf92 I know right ? My buddy just bought a 4 door one and I beat him with my 4 door 4wd Cherokee by over a car to 60-70 mph, he has been getting 14 mpg, I get 16 mpg. His doesn't have the low end but it pulls okay on the top end. Whats the point of this new engine when the 4.0 is just as good or better.
@98MAzdaMilleniaS My Point also my 95 JGC with 290k on the Odometer is still kicking butt , My Plan is to buy a New Wrangler and do an engine swap only it will be with a Stroked I6 it will Put out the same HP as the newe V6 but will excel in Low end Torque
@98MAzdaMilleniaS 28" tall tires vs 32"tires.,full sized vs sub compacted. MPG is based on how you drive most of the time. My buddy has a 4door and get 19mpg.
@Lukeatone I have 30 inch Revo A/T's... and it's 28.5 stock. And he has 100 more hp and a newer trans with more gears and a 7k rpm redline, what's your point ?
@98MAzdaMilleniaS Imagine putting the money you would normally spend on a new 2012 Wrangler and instead put that money on some Cherokee upgrades.... Its a no brainier. That 4.0 is one sweet die hard engine.
@TechFanatic555 Yeah, some guy down the way from where I live seems to always have Mil-Spec H1's for sale. Not to mention the diesel V-8's in those are die hard. The only way I would ever but a 2012 Wranger would be to wait to see how reliable the Pentastar is then buy one in 2017. Besides the interior is so garish... Wouldn't think of getting it dirty...
@MrSweetleaf92 You're not...dont worry about that dousche...im real interested in jeeps now and plan on dropping the cash on one..so im asking alot of questions...sometimes people will answer you by insulting you...idk why. its like they feel you should already know the answer and think your stupid for not knowing...dumbasses.. haha..good day!
i would drive a jeep cuz the windows are plastic, anyone can slash your window open and jack your shit . . i wouldnt mind an old jeep, the real jeeps, lifted with some rust on it ;D
@2jzsupra4life For what it's worth, that Pentastar has the same HP rating as the H.O. 4.7, although considerably less torque. But I wonder how the difference in torque a reasonable V8 option would produce would relate to the extra weight it may entail.
@2jzsupra4life Hahaha sounds like a typical American comment. "Just build a cheapened piece of junk that rattles and falls apart like GMs new products, And a majority of US vehicles, but as long as it has a big V8 it's okay!!!" :D Jeeps are still great off road, but I'm glad they're now focusing on quality and refinement; thanks Fiat :D, reason why the Toyota 4Runner outsells the wrangler, it's as good if not better off road, extremely reliable, and is more refined.
@Zinizzle well i dont know if you see my username but im not just a v8 fan XD cmon man do you need the interior and the quietness of a Rols Royce to go offroad XD hahah thanks Fiat ... well thank for giving the new jeep a new dash and stearing wheel that you dont even pay attention exept when you are a mall crowler...
@Zinizzle lol at the better off road? really? have you driven both? cuz i have....and there's no way the 4runner even comes close to what the stock jeep can do. us real jeep owners dont care much for the interior. "refined" or not, as long as i can crawl over a rock, and water ford on the trail, i don't care what the inside looks like. none of my wranglers have ever broken down on me due to Chrysler's fault. it's always driver's fault. i will be a jeep owner for life.
@robertjunkim thanks for breaking that down cuz most people don't know anything,ha! They don't realize that if it wasn't for the original Willy's Jeep, there wouldn't be anything like what we see today. Look at Land Rover, Maurice Wilks who began the brand back in the late 1940s basically took the ideas from a Willy's Jeep he drove.
But for someone to compare a 4runner to a Jeep Wrangler? The Wrangler has always been the same look and had the same offroad capabilities!!!
@scott8919 cmon people whats up with all the v8 haters ! dont tell me you dont like at lest the sound of it ! wakes me up and makes me happy every morning :)
@0702029 Well, if you would want to know what is really "funny", than its the fact that in Europe we have the diesel, but only the diesel (we do not have the option of V6 3.6 Rubicon at all). And while you are moaning about not beeing able to get Wrangler in diesel, I would like to get it in V6 3.6, but I cant...
@OdinsCloud I am kind of fed up with the characteristics the diesel engines have. I actually have only one diesel car in my fleet and thats the one I havent bought:-) Besides if you are mentioning the longlevity, than you are speaking about petrol, since diesels are more prone to failures over long run - if Id go for an older 2nd hand car, no way I would risk it with diesel. One way or another, big petrol w/o charging thats the way I like it (except the moments when I have to refill them:-)
@cactuss77 well my mums 1997 ford mondeo which did over 220,000 miles without any other work other then a general service now and then only reason she gave it up was she wanted something smaller :-P so dont paint them all with the same brush haha
@cactuss77 I have a TDI that is heading towards 400,000 miles without any major issue. I have a Diesel Mercedes heading towards 1000,000 miles without an engine issue. We had a Volvo Diesel that was sold with 700,000 miles on it. I have never had or seen a petrol vehicle that ran that long without being in need of a rebuild. Low RPM power off road is much higher with a Diesel & so is your range. In addition you can use various oils as fuel.
Well lucky you guys:-) My issues with diesel may actually come from my bias torwards track racing, but my relation torwards diesels certainly wasnt helped when my Toyota got me stuck after a chillly night in the mountains (the engine refused to start due to weak glow plugs).
@cactuss77 I also heard a lot of stories about stuck beemers (with 3.0D engine) due to common rail pump issues etc. I am not saying that diesel with autobox isnt good for offroading, All I am saying that I prefer the way of big petrol engines, which offer sufficient low torques as well:-)
They do have diesel Jeeps in other parts of the world. They don't offer them in the US because our government is retarded and the manufacturers are too lazy to meet the stupid standards set by the government. Diesel also has a public stigma of being loud, sluggish polluters that belong on farm equipment and heavy duty vehicles. If only more European manufacturers could bring their diesel models over and show how great they are, domestic companies would step up their game.
Oh I know they have a diesel version elsewhere in the world. But, seeing as I live in Canada, that doesn't help me much....hehe. I really hope we see a good diesel version for North America in the next year or two. I would most certainly buy one if they did.
@mayback6536 and if it wasn't for Jeep, there would be no Land Rover company. Go do some research on Maurice Wilks and find out where his idea for the Range Rover came from!!!
@maybach6536 I don't think nobody here gives a crap about an overpriced suv like the Range Rover. When it comes to repairs, Jeep parts are availible, and you don't have to wait for weeks like a Range Rover.
And wow, how many times has Land Rover been tossed around like a whore amongst pimps, from parent company to parent company? Get out of here with that Range Rover crap!!!

@TechFanatic555 Yeah, some guy down the way from where I live seems to always have Mil-Spec H1's for sale. Not to mention the diesel V-8's in those are die hard. The only way I would ever but a 2012 Wranger would be to wait to see how reliable the Pentastar is then buy one in 2017. Besides the interior is so garish... Wouldn't think of getting it dirty...

@MrSweetleaf92 Not needed as the new pentastar is a better engine, providing more HP, Torque, and better fuel consumption rating than the old 4.0 v6.

TheDevilR1 6 months ago
@2jzsupra4life For what it's worth, that Pentastar has the same HP rating as the H.O. 4.7, although considerably less torque. But I wonder how the difference in torque a reasonable V8 option would produce would relate to the extra weight it may entail.

@2jzsupra4life Hahaha sounds like a typical American comment. "Just build a cheapened piece of junk that rattles and falls apart like GMs new products, And a majority of US vehicles, but as long as it has a big V8 it's okay!!!" :D Jeeps are still great off road, but I'm glad they're now focusing on quality and refinement; thanks Fiat :D, reason why the Toyota 4Runner outsells the wrangler, it's as good if not better off road, extremely reliable, and is more refined.
Zinizzle 6 months ago
@Zinizzle well i dont know if you see my username but im not just a v8 fan XD cmon man do you need the interior and the quietness of a Rols Royce to go offroad XD hahah thanks Fiat ... well thank for giving the new jeep a new dash and stearing wheel that you dont even pay attention exept when you are a mall crowler...
2jzsupra4life 6 months ago
@Zinizzle lol at the better off road? really? have you driven both? cuz i have....and there's no way the 4runner even comes close to what the stock jeep can do. us real jeep owners dont care much for the interior. "refined" or not, as long as i can crawl over a rock, and water ford on the trail, i don't care what the inside looks like. none of my wranglers have ever broken down on me due to Chrysler's fault. it's always driver's fault. i will be a jeep owner for life.
robertjunkim 6 months ago
@robertjunkim thanks for breaking that down cuz most people don't know anything,ha! They don't realize that if it wasn't for the original Willy's Jeep, there wouldn't be anything like what we see today. Look at Land Rover, Maurice Wilks who began the brand back in the late 1940s basically took the ideas from a Willy's Jeep he drove.
But for someone to compare a 4runner to a Jeep Wrangler? The Wrangler has always been the same look and had the same offroad capabilities!!!

@0702029 Well, if you would want to know what is really "funny", than its the fact that in Europe we have the diesel, but only the diesel (we do not have the option of V6 3.6 Rubicon at all). And while you are moaning about not beeing able to get Wrangler in diesel, I would like to get it in V6 3.6, but I cant...

@cactuss77 Why, Why would you or anyone want a V6 3.6 over the Diesel. Especially in Europe. Efficiency, longevity much better with Diesel.
OdinsCloud 2 months ago
@OdinsCloud I am kind of fed up with the characteristics the diesel engines have. I actually have only one diesel car in my fleet and thats the one I havent bought:-) Besides if you are mentioning the longlevity, than you are speaking about petrol, since diesels are more prone to failures over long run - if Id go for an older 2nd hand car, no way I would risk it with diesel. One way or another, big petrol w/o charging thats the way I like it (except the moments when I have to refill them:-)
cactuss77 2 months ago
@cactuss77 well my mums 1997 ford mondeo which did over 220,000 miles without any other work other then a general service now and then only reason she gave it up was she wanted something smaller :-P so dont paint them all with the same brush haha
WellImHereNow 2 months ago in playlist More videos from motortrend
@cactuss77 I have a TDI that is heading towards 400,000 miles without any major issue. I have a Diesel Mercedes heading towards 1000,000 miles without an engine issue. We had a Volvo Diesel that was sold with 700,000 miles on it. I have never had or seen a petrol vehicle that ran that long without being in need of a rebuild. Low RPM power off road is much higher with a Diesel & so is your range. In addition you can use various oils as fuel.
OdinsCloud 2 months ago
Well lucky you guys:-) My issues with diesel may actually come from my bias torwards track racing, but my relation torwards diesels certainly wasnt helped when my Toyota got me stuck after a chillly night in the mountains (the engine refused to start due to weak glow plugs).
cactuss77 2 months ago
@cactuss77 I also heard a lot of stories about stuck beemers (with 3.0D engine) due to common rail pump issues etc. I am not saying that diesel with autobox isnt good for offroading, All I am saying that I prefer the way of big petrol engines, which offer sufficient low torques as well:-)

They do have diesel Jeeps in other parts of the world. They don't offer them in the US because our government is retarded and the manufacturers are too lazy to meet the stupid standards set by the government. Diesel also has a public stigma of being loud, sluggish polluters that belong on farm equipment and heavy duty vehicles. If only more European manufacturers could bring their diesel models over and show how great they are, domestic companies would step up their game.

Oh I know they have a diesel version elsewhere in the world. But, seeing as I live in Canada, that doesn't help me much....hehe. I really hope we see a good diesel version for North America in the next year or two. I would most certainly buy one if they did.

@maybach6536 I don't think nobody here gives a crap about an overpriced suv like the Range Rover. When it comes to repairs, Jeep parts are availible, and you don't have to wait for weeks like a Range Rover.
And wow, how many times has Land Rover been tossed around like a whore amongst pimps, from parent company to parent company? Get out of here with that Range Rover crap!!!
