Can you daily drive the 2018 Jeep Wrangler?

- The Jeep Wrangler has always been equal parts capable off-roader and terrible commuter car. But for 2018, Jeep has a new Wrangler that it says is actually good both on- and off-road. I put that claim to the test in my latest review.

In all of the reviews I’ve seen, NO ONE has tested the maximum drink size! Strong work!
Gonna get a heart attack or diabetes drinking extra large soft drinks. So no need. Time to drink a small size.
It's good that you did an on road review. 99% of jeeps will never see anything but the pavement between the driveway and the mall anyway.
Malls still exist? I thought Amazon did away with that almost 20 years ago.

James Elliott Wait a sec are u talking about girls in general??
that's all my jeep is gonna see 😂😂😂😂
It makes me sad that only 1 in 5,000,000 owners drive their wrangler off road... mine is 95% road, but at least on weekends I like to go camping in hard-to-get-to places.
Great review! I like that you focused on the day to day use, not just how good it is offroad. Most people looking to get one of these either already know how badass it is offroad, or simply don't care about such things. A test like this is great for someone who is just on the fence about whether this would make a good daily driver or not.
Like me. I know these kill it offroad, but am leery of committing to one for day to day use. Last year I rented a 2 door 17 JK Rubicon that was slightly modified, and while it was amazing on the trail, I had concluded within the first 5 minutes that I hated it on the road. Funny thing is, that experience made me want one even more, just not in that configuration.

"I'm sure you've seen it crushing an Audi Allroad"
Seriously?!? That's a Land Rover Defender.
That was a joke.
The Drew Johnson Experience ha! Shoore
"That was a joke... unintentional joke... just like my pink plaid shirt."
The Drew Johnson Experience and is not your footage, it’s Doug’s one.
Ha. I just paused the video right after he said that to make the same comment.....Understand it was a "joke" - but c'mon - if you're going to joke at least make it good and have it be something that's WAYYYY obviously not a jeep - like a lifted dodge neon going over some cars or something.
DJE... Fantastic review! Loved the humor, but really appreciated an 'on-road' review. Thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback. Building a new channel can be a grind and it's comments like yours that help me keep going!
This is the best and most realistic new jeep review I've seen. Thanks for doing it.
Great video! Glad someone finally made a video about how it feels to daily drive. The car seat portion was informative. And enjoyed the humor
😄👍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thanks! I was on the fence about the car seat segment but it's just such a big part of daily driving for so many people that I had to keep it in. I hope you keep watching!
The car seat segment was especially helpful. That's my one big question about getting a new JL right now; can my 4-year olds easily fit, get in, and get out?
Fantastic video! You answered the right questions for me and have made me seriously think about buying one. Thanks dude!
@6:51 Talk about a movie studio ready dog. Good eye contact with the camera. Athletic and returns to camera pose mode once inside the vehicle. A win for 'Fido'.
Thank you for this video! I’m wanting a cool suv that could transition into a family car in the future and this was super helpful.
Awesome review !!! Very informative while equally entertaining! Great job!
I am from Germany and I was visiting the United States in July this year. During this visit I saw the new Jeep Wrangler and directly went to the next Jeep Dealer (actually it was in Cadillac, Michigan) to have a closer look and I fell in love!
Back in Germany, I had to wait until the middle of September, until this car was presented here (actually it was in Oldenburg, Niedersachsen).
I've bridged this time by watching your video again and again. It's by far the best review that has been made on the JL. I love your humor. Large makes sense !!!
By the way: I ordered a Wrangler JL, Sahara. I will get in January 2019. :-)
Thanks for the kind words! I know Cadillac well, beautiful in July. Cool that you found such a small town. Congrats on the order, I think you’ll love your new Jeep. I hope you subscribe to keep up with all my new videos!
So how’s new Wrangler in our European narrow-street reality? Is it still comfortable to use?
What do the Germans think of your Jeep?
Ummmmm its not a car btw, enjoy your Jeep
Are you enjoying it?
Nice video. There's a lot already about the JL but you added something new. Good work.
You have answered all my questions in this video. Go ahead bro make more awesome videos
Good luck 👍🏻
I'm a "jeep" guy and I watch Doug and Hoovies and you just made it into my subscriptions dude! Good humor, good video quality and great honesty. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks! Glad to be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys, they're the reason I got into this. I have some more good stuff coming up soon, so stay tuned!
Great Review buddy. Made me chuckle a couple of times, keep it up.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Amazing review. Funny, informative and straightforward!

HBAHAHAHAHAHA GOLD
Thanks for the video. It was exactly what I was looking for for!
I love your review! My cousin has one and I doubt her or her husband ever went off road. Most of these vehicles are used as daily commuters in the pavement jungle and you just really nailed this with your review. Thumbs up bro!
Thanks!
I always get a giggle out of posts on Jeep videos from people saying things like "these aren't REAL jeeps" or "REAL Jeeps don't need no new fangled gizmos". I remember when the YJ came out people said "this isn't a REAL Jeep, the CJ was a REAL Jeep". The fact of the matter the JK was a better off road vehicle than the Willys, the CJ, YJ and TJ. By all reports the JL is better still. By giving consumers a choice on basic, now normal, options the customer base is increased. This only improves the chance that the brand will go on for another 70 years. Having heated seats or a good sound system has no relevance on off road performance.
Couldn't agree more. My wife loved the way jeeps looked. Once she got in one and saw how basic it was, it kind of put her off of the jeep thing. With the updates to the jl's interior jeeps are now back on the list. It reminds me of when people were complaining about Ford putting a 4 cylinder in the mustang. Some people just don't like change.
Yup, why not have a warm bum and blasting some rock-n-roll when climbing the rocks?
90% of Jeep owners dont use them off road.
And if you don't want all the tech on the inside (not sure why) you can get it without the heated seats and all the fancy stuff if you don't want
@youcometome9 The same reason why the Dodge Challenger is unique in today's market. It's had modern updates but it's continues to stay true to it's roots. It's still a Jeep same as the Challenger is still a heavy bulky muscle car.
The Timber Test - Reason why I am now a subscriber. Well played, sir - well played.
Thanks!
I'm more interested in the Sahara, but thanks for being the only review video I've found that actually gives REAL information.
You did a great job reviewing this Jeep. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Well, well,well... I must say that you have a natural sense of humor. I like your review, and I like Jeep. Good job!
Got a brand new Rubicon in 2008 and still very much enjoy it. This clip was a YT suggestion; glad I viewed it. Entertaining & informative enuff to consider a visit at the dealer for a possible trade-in for a new 'posh' Rubicon. Subscribed.
Just purchased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the power slider top it was a left over on the dealers lot wish it that the cold weather package but they added heated seats for me I traded my 2019 Subaru Outback touring for it
Thank you for your great videos
You got my like for the windscreen down part. Great video
Good for you!!! Keep going. Thanks for the video.
Love your sense of humor. Nice review. Can't wait to get my on road jeep. And then I can't wait to pay it off so I can justify taking it off road.
Having a 2020 built as I speak. Can't wait!
Neb the Barbarian they’re available already?
Entertaining and packed with valuable information!
Great video. You answered a lot the questions that I had about daily driving. Also i think it looks great as is, not sure there's any need to put all the aftermarket toys on it. Once again great video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Na modding is where it's at and is addictive
That’s the best part of owning one of these. Buying new parts and making it “yours”
Wondering exactly this! Rented a Sahara liked it. Very impressed. A different form of fun from sports cars. Epic commentary. Good job 👍👍😎 Subbed too👍
I thought you did a great job. I think you’re going to do well moving forward. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for the kind words!
Now this was a really good review of a car!!!!! Thank you!!
Nice review. I love my new 2018 Jeep Rubicon.
Perfect video for someone who wants a wrangler for daily drive. Like Me! Great video dude.
Thanks!
Straight to the point and fizzy drinks, you got my like!
Thanks! You got my like too!
I’m sold! Buying one tomorrow 🥳🤙🏼
Great review! Very helpful!
I own a JK, never really been "off roading", but they are practical size wise, the top comes off, and nice to know they are capable if you ever get in a tough terrain situation. Never had so much fun driving an SUV.
Good review. I was wondering about this 👍👍👍👍
Great video, what i needed to see
I got the rubicon 2020 and it’s amazing I like everything about it. they way it drives, the sound system alpine, the seats are very comfortable and the quality build. I was afraid to own one for daily driving but it’s very comfortable and well equipped the only issue is the wind noise when you drive 60 mph but you will get use to it
Softop or sky one touch ?
Yes you answered all my questions I will be buying one one day
Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. I am literally about to buy one just to sit in Houston traffic everyday, lol
Yep, not too bag. I'll sub, 495. And I do daily drive my new JL, and I love it.
I just bought a 2019 the other day. It’s awesome.
How is it so far, my dad might jump the gun when the 2020s come out
How much do you spend on gas daily/weekly? How long does it take to reach empty? I'm can't decide between a Jeep Wrangler or a Grand Cherokee.
How you liking it so far
Dude you're awesome! I just subscribed. BTW I'm picking up my 2018 Wrangler next Saturday.
Thanks! What model did you get?

Great Job Drew!!!
Great video, and sense of humor.
Thanks! Hope you consider subscribing!
Great Job man, You definitely should have more subscribes. Keep up the Great work. can wait to see the next video.subscriber 434👍
Thanks! Next video drops on Monday, stay tuned!
He has that number for a reason. Folowers are earned.
They have a mod for that! There are brackets you can buy to help give the back door more opening space. Closer to a 90 degree angle. Give about 2 more iches. Easy install. And you wont scratch the front doors. There is still clearance.
I drove my 2016 Rubicon from Mississippi to Roseville California and back 2379 miles each way 3 times in a 14 month period no worries. Making my 4th trip next week. This time im pulling a trailer with my motorcycle on it. Love my jeep
Great video!! U do a great job🤘I give The JL= an A- only thing I have a problem is the price of it I am gone to get one, not fully loaded 4 door soft top!
I enjoy the comedic feel of this video!
Awesome Jeep Video!!!
You are hilarious 😂! Great review!
Glad you liked it!
True that most are never used off road. But to have the option and in the snow they are the best.
I like your sense of humor. You're like a funnier Doug Demuro without the lisp.
My daily was a 97 xj....... this should be a great upgrade.
The new Wrangler actually has a little XJ feel to it. But a big upgrade on the tech and interior quality front. Would be a great upgrade!
I like the vid. Haha! Thank you! Any update on this?
I used to drive a 1981 Jeep cj7 with 35” tires and six inch lift daily !
Subscriber 1,690 of what I’m sure will eventually be a stratospheric number. Keep up the great videos.
Love my JLU Rubicon, and I'm coming from an old CJ, TJ and JK. The CJ 7 is still my favorite for beating the crap out of, however the JL gives you more capability, and the Winshield is almost as easy to fold down as the CJ was plus I get all the modern amenities. It still has a slightly rougher Wrangler ride, however it's a lot more controlled vs the JK. Overall I think the JL is a great overall design vs function machine.
You are like a combination of Hoovie’s Garage and Doug Demuro. With a Joe Rogan Experience like name. Awesome. I’m subbed. Please do a 2018 Subaru Outback if one comes your way! :-D
Thanks! I'll see if I can book an Outback. I have a Subaru Ascent video coming in a few weeks, so stay tuned for that!
Michael Martinez I totally agree, especially about the Doug Demuro bit. Perhaps, so as to avoid any trademark concerns, he should highlight "idiosyncrasies and amenities"? Anyway, I've subbed. Looking forward to more reviews.
Sup other Michael
rubish american car
Michael Martinez in fact he uses Doug’s test of an old Land Rover defender , with ni attribution and call it a new 2018 Jeep.
Awesome 👍👍 2018 Keep Wrangler Rubicon review.
Are the doors still held by straps? Or can they be held in certain positions when open just like regular cars?
I was wondering all of these questions too. Thank you! What about the noise from driving on a highway? I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks. It’s important to me that I can enjoy them without straining to hear.
I have a soft top and I absolutely love love it in the summer but in the winter 😩😩😩
Daily driver means different things, depending on the individual. I was commuting 90 miles r/t last year & would not have used my JL as my commuter under those conditions. Now I commute 20 miles r/t & the JL is absolutely fine. Gas mileage is horrid (w/ 35s), but insurance is much cheaper than most of the sports cars I shopped.
Probably my next vehicle. Great in snow, just put on a rack for skis., convertible in summer. Two cars in one
So funny!! Enjoyed the review
"Heated seats and a heated steering wheel, so at least parts of me are toasty warm." LOL. Good one.
It’s 2020 and I still want one 2 years later
Amazing video, mate.
Great review
I have a 2017 Wrangler and love the hard ride.
Awesome vid👍
Subbed just for your Jerry Seinfeld-esque windshield down yell-review at 7:35 😂
Great take on what has become a sea full of spec spewing auto reviews. Addresses real world use with style and humour. Finally.
Thanks for the kind words. That’s the angle I’m going for with my videos, hopefully they get better as I go. I hope you stick around to see what I have coming up!
That was hilarious man! Informative and hilarious
I've used a 05 TJ for a daily driver for three years. The loud road noise kept the girlfriend's yapping down. The small storage space in the back prevented overspending at the grocery story. (4 bags max) I loved it. So I'm sure these new ones will suit just fine.
Great Information!
Great video!
great content. keep it up ;)
I daily drove a CJ-5 for over 10 years. And took it over many old Colorado mining trails.
for me getting a vehicle like this is not about taking it off road but about its ruggedness and capability, being able to handle anything that's thrown at it in terms off weather and road conditions.
A Jeep Wrangler can actually be an excellent daily driver. I have a 2013 2 Door Wrangler and when I first bought it, I intended to use it as a weekend 'toy', as it's lifted and on 35" tires, and use my CX-5 as a daily driver, but I've been having so much fun with the Jeep, that I've been using it as a daily driver. Being small, I can park anywhere, being lifted, I can see above traffic, and I'm averaging about 20ish miles per gallon, which is not too awful. The Jeep is such a joy to drive, that I look forward to driving it every day.
Thanks! The 2 large fizzy drinks sold me ;)
“This is the ....” suddenly thought it was Doug.
i used to drive a coupe car , and it's a dream to have a wrangler, do you think it worth to do so ?
Can this be the #1 car for my wife and I? Can I drive it to the key's from fort Lauderdale and it be comfortable?
I just got the 2door 2019 model of this Jeep....it offers a very comfortable ride on road and off....
I got my Jeep more for nice summer days and horrid NE snowstorms in the winter.
Rubicon Unlimited with leather...at $45K+ it better be able to do more than one thing well...Truth is though if someone hasn't been in a new jeep in the last 10 years they have no idea what they are really like..the JK was a huge step forward, and the JL goes to the next level.
Such an awesome video! Lol, Love it!
Good video
A 1999 base model Wrangler was our primary vehicle from 1999 to 2008. We were quite sure that we would not have liked any other vehicle as well for the price. HOWEVER, we also used that vehicle for exploring Utah (and sometimes surrounding states) an average of a dozen or more times a year for the first several years we owned it. There were probably at least a half-dozen things about it that the average person would NOT like.
Like what?
@@nightnday6675 Most people, if they were to buy a Wrangler for daily driving without first driving it and looking it over carefully, would soon find several things about it that they wouldn’t like.
Most people, for example, would quickly tire of climbing over the higher-than-average side sills, a “problem” that’s exacerbated by the height of the floor above the ground.
When everything else is “equal” the Wrangler can’t go around a corner as fast (or maneuver around an obstacle at speed) as vehicles that have a lower height to width ratio. A new Wrangler can go around corners as fast as most people ever actually DO go around corners in an ordinary “car” but many people dislike the “sense” of the Wranglers not being as capable in that regard.
Our son has a Grand Charakee (2014) but wouldn’t buy a new Wrangler, even if he could afford one. He thinks of the Wrangler driving position as “claustrophobic”.
If I’m not mistaken, the new 2-door Wranglers don’t even have a third seat belt in the rear seat. The 4-doors do but the center seating position is NOT comfortable for an average-size adult.
Even if you buy a base model Wrangler (“Sport”?) it won’t have as much space behind the rear seat as an ordinary “car” of the same price would have in the trunk (or behind the rear seat).
Entry and exit into/from the back seat of the two-door Wrangler is even more awkward than entry and exit into/from the back seat of the most popular two-door “cars”.
There might not be much difference in fuel efficiency between a Wrangler and a “car” with the same engine if the owner never drives over 40 mph. On the other hand, if the Wrangler is driven 60 mph (and especially if it is driven faster than 60), the Wrangler owner will need to buy more fuel than for a “car” with the same engine. Also, as compared a car with the same engine, the Jeep won’t accelerate quite as fast in a high speed passing situation.
None of the above will, of course, be a reason to not buy a Wrangler if the prospective customer likes the advantages of the Wrangler. Yesterday, my wife rented a Nissan Sentra to drive while her Ram Classic is in the body shop. The Sentra is “better” in most of the ways listed above but...it doesn’t allow as upright a seating position as a Wrangler and, if a storm or something else causes the streets to become strewn with debris while we are driving the Sentra, it won’t allow us to navigate OVER the obstacles as a Wrangler (or even the pickup) would. U.S. Mail delivery drives get stuck WAY less often in a Wrangler than they would in most other types of vehicles.
We lived in Utah most of the time we owned our ‘99 Wrangler so there were many more opportunities to explore unimproved or poorly maintained roads on public land than would have been the case in most other states. If you live in the Mountain West or the Desert Southwest and buy a Wrangler, I hope you enjoy its advantages as much as we did.
