While most SUVs try to emphasize sleekness and sophistication, the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK makes no bones about its old-fashioned, bare-bones character. The Wrangler JK is essentially a carryover of the 2017 Wrangler. The completely redesigned, vastly improved 2018 model is just known as the Wrangler, or the Wrangler JL.
Even before its redesign, the Wrangler represented tradition like few other vehicles in showrooms. It's perpetually been a beast in the bushes that's forever itching to turn off the beaten path and cross a stream or crawl up a trail. Even without the modern powertrain and tech updates of the new Wrangler, the Wrangler JK offers a modicum of modern conveniences, including Bluetooth connectivity and satellite radio. As with any big personality, however, the trade-off is that it isn't always easy to live with while driving around town.
Unlike most other modern vehicles, the Wrangler JK is simply out of its element in the daily city grind or on the highway. It has a rough ride, ponderous handling, and some of the lowest safety ratings on the road today. What's more, the seats aren't very comfortable, the infotainment system is relatively unappealing (because you can't get the Jeep brand's top-of-the-line 8.4-inch touchscreen in the Wrangler JK as you can in the Grand Cherokee), and it's just plain loud at elevated speeds, making it a real handful on long road trips.
Fuel economy figures are also underwhelming, ranging from the Unlimited's 18 mpg combined (16 city/20 highway) with the six-speed manual transmission to the two-door Wrangler JK's 18 mpg combined (17 city/21 highway) with either the manual or the six-speed automatic. In other words, you'll develop a close relationship with the local gas stations if you opt for one of these Jeeps.
With all that said, we're still fans of the Wrangler JK. It has undeniable charm and holds its value surprisingly well. What's more, with newer Wranglers on dealer lots, negotiating a deal might be easier on the Wrangler JK.
Both the Wrangler JK and the Wrangler JK Unlimited are available in three main trim levels. The basic implement is the Sport, which is capable but simple. The Sahara adds appearance and convenience features, while the top-of-the-line Rubicon attempts to spoil the occupants with upgrades and even more capable off-road performance, plus distinctive styling that makes the Wrangler JK look like an American G-Wagen.

Vehicle Unlimited Sahara 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Review This is my 7TH purchase of the Jeep JK Wrangler. I have followed the development of the new JL. I am not convinced it is the way to go for me. First it is a new model that will have teething problems like the JK had in 07. I do not know how the new models will do with the new metals being used or adhesives, they had to put the character line on the side to give the aluminum some strength.They made some steering components hollow rather than solid. I do not like the built-in roll bars. I do not like the windshield. they said they were going to lighten the Jeep, but some reviewers said it weighed more in some configurations.I do not like the dashboard, it looks like a Fiat design. I liked the adjustable steering wheel and lumbar support, that was about it. I know what I am buying with the JK. It is nice and simple. I bought the Sahara Unlimited automatic again in Billet Silver with a black hardtop. I love the new LED headlights and polished alloy wheels. I stayed with the 3.21 axle ratios for gas mileage. The Sahara has the next step up in shocks, so it is a bit firm at first, but smooths right out after a 1000 miles. This Sahara has a smoother ride than my 15 Sahara had. I feel safer buying tried and true, and I like the style better.I have owned so many vehicles and i keep coming back to the Wrangler Unlimited. It covers all the bases of what I want in one vehicle, a convertible, a tow vehicle, a 4X4, cargo capability with the seat down. a rugged look, easy to personalize. What more could you want !!
