Terrific Off-Road Vehicle

The Jeep 4-DR Wrangler is a fun, versatile, high-performing off road vehicle. In 2017, Jeep responded to customer recommendations and moved the rear door catches down on the door frame eliminating the "hip bruising" that occurred for every rear seat passenger. Now, they need to add a stationary grip or retractable hand grip over each rear door for entry and exit.

Owned for 6 years, regular on time maintenance. The engine is the worst of any vehicle. Jeep engine random misfires and jeep engine coolant leaks, just replaced all coolant components, no leakage into engine. Automatic transmission just replaced at 75k. 2017 had 55k when I started dealing with the issues. It's just ridiculous. Have put at least 15k in problems.

Life style vehicle. Not the ideal daily driver

2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

My jeep is my life, but for the price of the Jeep itself and the never ending list of upgrades I would not recommend it for daily driving. The upgrades that are required to replace all the generic plastic pieces and terrible stock suspension add up very quickly. The ride seems to be better some days than others depending on how well it starts up in the morning. The transmission doesn't know which gear to be in ever. That issue got worse as I added accessories. Even though my gear ratio is 4.10, the jeep cannot handle the extra weight very well, and has no power when entering the interstate or over taking a vehicle. Jeeps don't like hills by the way. I use my jeep on the weekends mostly and I have really made the vehicle style reflect my personality. Now that my truck is aging I find myself driving the Jeep more often. Every time I drive it I seem to like it less and less. It's made for off-roading. Keep the Jeeps on the dirt as it was intended to be.

I feel like the Queen in my Chief

I love my new Jeep Sahara Chief. I don't know why people say it is uncomfortable, its very comfortable. I just bought it two weeks ago so I cannot rate/ review anything that comes with time. The sound system and navigation are easy to work. the voice command, Love it. I'm not a real off roader, but I do have German Shepherds I take places and do go off the road, but no rock climbing or anything intense. Its a great little truck, I sit up high giving a great view. I always wanted one, just love the look of it, but always heard it was to much of a utility vehicle and lots of noise WHAT!!, I have heated leather seats, it handles easily, and is pretty quiet. Granted its not a Mercedes with complete silence inside but I didn't notice anything. We saw Darrell Williams at Freehold Jeep and he was just an all around nice guy. Very, very knowledgeable about the jeep, answered all my questions and steered us to the type of jeep would suit me and why.
