2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock: Snowy & Muddy Colorado Off-Road Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

( www.TFLcar.com ) 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hardrock Edition takes a time-tested off-road vehicle and adds a few sprinkles of luxury and comfort. It's still a short wheel-base Jeep, but you also get heated and leather trimmed seats and most convenience features you will find in a regular SUV.
Can it tackle the deep wet snow of the Rockies? Watch to find out!

    I'm actually surprised how well my 2012 Tahoe 4X4 does in off road situations, given rock climbs aren't on my daily agenda, but snow, sand, muddy wet trails, ice are no problem. Sure it might not do as well climbing rocks, but it'll sure as hell put a smile on your face when you lay into it and that small block V8 roars to life, there aren't too many things in the world today that can sound as good as a GM V8 does!

    The boat anchor are you kidding the 4.0 was the best motor they ever made. My 91 cherokee made it to 531k without a rebuild and I owned many other cherokees with the 4.0 that had well over 200k with no issues. I doubt this motor is still running strong 200k miles +.

    The 4.0 was an epic engine, but saying the Pentastar won't make it 200k is a little silly. I wouldn't doubt a Pentastar could make it to 500k if it were maintained. The only difference is that the Pentastar probably wouldn't be as durable in terms of improper maintenance and regular abuse (ir irregular abuse like, say, putting sand in the crankcase to try to kill a 4.0 just results in a smoking, still-running 4.0).

    The only truth to the boat anchor statement would be weight. Obviously an aluminum engine will be lighter. As far as longevity though chrysler still has a long way to go to achieve the durability of the I6 design. Simplicity is too often underrated by engineers. The pentastar still has cylinder head issues as of 7/2014(last one I personally diagnosed), it also has bearing issues with oil starvation as well as dtc's that may not affect performance but they sure as hell create an issue for the owners trying to keep the vehicle legally on the road inspection/emissions wise. I've also worked on multiple different vehicles some with a perfectly quite pentastar and others that sound like complete rattle traps. Having customers complain I called a local dodge dealer and spoke to tech dept and they say it's "normal" cam phaser noise. If it's normal why do some sound horrible and some sound quiet? Sure it's a technologically advanced engine and may perform better in a perfect world but when is the world perfect? They've added variable quad cams, open deck blocks, and made it an interference engine(if timing is off valves and pistons smash together). This simply adds to the list of what can go wrong. My 88 xj has over 410k on it and it runs like a champ, and my 98 tj has 191k and never had an issue with either. The one thing I am happy about is that chrysler still doesn't use a mass airflow meter. Kind of odd with all these other technological advancements that they still refuse to use a maf. I don't quite understand their logic on that one but I like it from a diagnostic point of view and less cost vs a map sensor, not to mention maf is a more delicate sensor vs map.

It's got the soft top and 16 inch wheels and tires which that's what I love about it. I'm going to do some upgrades to it very soon. But sofar have had no problems with it and took it on a road trip for Thanksgiving holiday and got around 22 miles to the gallon . O the radio sucks so I'm going to upgrade it with a Pioneer or a Sony . Love it and going to enjoy the 4x4

    Guys who buy the Rubicon want a Jeep that can "do" the Rubicon Trail! Comfort is a second option,first was lockers (no word about in this test) super low transfer gearing 4:1,big offroad tires,rock rails,low axel gearing,flexy suspension. If you want comfort buy some of these new and ugly SUVs with a Jeep logo on! My favorite Jeep are the older TJ Rubicon unlimited.

    Jeeps are strange when it comes to comfort on roads. Particularly my 2007 Jeep Liberty, it seems so be uncomfortable on small bumps and cracks on the road, but if there is that weird big mound that the road workers left for no reason and you go over it at 50+KM/H, the Jeep just soaks it up and...just absorbs so smoothly....I don't know how to describe it exactly...but...other than big mounds, it it rough on small ones.

    @G4O Comparing a Land Rover to the Jeep is crazy ( unfair to the Land Rover lol). Double the price for lots of Glitter, and more electronics to break down on you while off road ( wouldn't want to scratch the paint job ), and how many LR drivers actually know how to work on the vehicle ("Where's my road side assistance - in the middle of the woods"). @TFL Review is a little hard on the street capability of the Jeep. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar you can't buy a better all around vehicle for both summer/winter, on road/off road living. Base sport edition starting at about 19k ( Canadian), that's awesome value with the 3.6L Pentastar 285ph. Love my 2012 JK Sahara Unlimited. And Nathan, a little more excitement eh, tell us how you really feel.

This was before I had my front locker, only had a rear. I was trying to see how far I could go in 2HI. It was old, crunchy snow. I did pretty well until I got into some tire ruts. I started going sideways. Put in 4HI, got out n locked the front hubs. It straightened out like I was on dry pavement. I have yet to drive in snow/ice with the front locked. I want to try it out.

    william112004 where are you getting 1000KG for the Hard Rock? Everything above the basic Sport is 1588KG/3,500LB, just like the previous models. The maximum is a combination of things, but it's a conservative number to ensure all components of the system are up to a solid level. The only reason the base sport is lower (likely the 1000KG/2500LB number your got) is because it doesn't have either the HD or performance suspension (which is an option on the Sport-S), but that has been the case since the 2012 change to the transmission and engine created a new recertification, nothing new for 2014/15. You can likely tow much more than the 1,500KG, but they're just covering what they are confident recommending. Also, unlike what TFL suggested in another video, it's not due to the power of the engine, as AEV confirmed that the max TOW rating is restricted by other components in the suspension and frame, not by the engine, so even a Hemi with different gears doesn't really change that. They really aren't meant to tow 5th-wheels and boats. More like Dirt Bikes or SeaDoos. For an Off-road capable tower, you need something like a PowerWagon, or similar pick-up truck style platform.

    BFG KM MudTerrain tyres are Mud & Snow, so they are the appropriate tyre, however, with SLUSH and not SNOW , you need chains. You could put Swampers on there, and it's still the flat surface of the outer tread-blocks that is going to slip on the compressed snow/slush, especially when it's a relatively thin layer on a hard surface. They (MTs) also 'slip' in mud as well, but you don't creep along in mud with no traction so you don't notice it, and you know enough to give it the gas and steer through it when it's deep much. Winter tyres would be as bad or worse because the voids are too small, and the internal ejector ribs that push rocks out on A/T & MT tyres are ineffective at clearing the voids on slush so they get bogged down. Only chains works well in that slushy crap, it the Rockies I start with Duratracs or Territory tyres and then put chains on it for the serious stuff, because that's all that works. You can still drive through the goop and the deep stuff with good MTs, but it's not going to feel as effective as those chains. You should know better being from Colorado. =;-P

    Well there are a few of us, and some of us who do it to support our other hobbies (like Backcountry Skiing, etc), it's why I buy my Rubicons. But not everyone lives near the Rockies, or region that has interesting snow possibilities, so the population pool is smaller. However out here our trails are open from May to September, then they close until a solid freeze (to avoid trail damage) and re-open again from early Dec to early March. Winter off-roading is great fun, especially in a well-equipped Wrangler. But even when you have the gear and the knowhow, it's definitely tougher in winter. Snow is fine IMO, it's ice and slush suck when they're ontop of solid smooth rock that has a steep enough grade to break traction.

    Kind of off topic but...Wow those tires suck in snow, wasn't expecting that. The only mud tires I have ever had were cooper discoverer stt's on my 2007 commander. I loved those tires for the looks, they were decent in the mud (I never got stuck) but the vehicle was just so heavy and only had the 3.7 v6 so it couldn't really spin the tires being awd, even in mud and I think that's what you really need to do in mud with mud tires (spin em). I only had them for a year before getting rid of the jeep and unfortunately I didn't get much snow experience (the most I got was 6 inches at once) but when I did use them in snow they did great.

    I have 33'' discoverer stt's on my jeep and they are great in mud but in snow it's a whole other story. They don't get a lot of tracktion, I still love them a lot. Best tires i ever had.

    The BFG KM1s on my Rubicon (same tires in this video) are terrible winter tires. There's no two ways about it. Great in mud, and other off road conditions. But if there's snow, ice, or standing water, they are terrible to the point of being scary. I can't wait to replace them with the new KO2.

    Common misconception is that mud tires are good in the snow and ice because they're blocky. Their tread patterns and rubber compounds aren't designed for snow or ice.

    The tires do great, been running for years. Have tried others over the years and they don't compare. If u get into wet slush, yeah ur going to spin plus he was forcing to tires to spin and loss traction and aired at 40psi they are over inflated for the situation

    Other tires don't compare to mud tires with ZERO siping? What kind of drugs are you on? Wet slush is actually one of the better winter conditions for a pure mud tire, too.

    You can't beat a Jeep's legendary out of the box offroad capability, especially the Rubicon. what is stupid is the prices for one. I do miss my Jeep. Had four of them and I am sure one day will again but when I can afford another one just as a toy.

    I have a 1985 Toyota 4x4 pickup that is so stiff, I can tell what side a coin is when I roll over it. Now u say that the new jeep is not comfortable, not good for long distance drives. I beg to differ. I also own a 2013 Rubicon unlimited and it rides so so so nice. And yes I love how it wheels. I still have the old yota and I still take it out, without the wife, but how these new jeeps perform are unreal. So here's a eye opener, any time u feel one of these new rigs, wither it's a truck or suv of some sort and u feel it's not comfy or too soft or gets ok gas mileage, go climb into an older rig for a bit and then get back into what u were driving and do a comparison. Other then that looked like u were having fun.

    Really wish Chrysler stuck with the 4.0L straight six. That motor out lasts any other with regular maintenance. Driving a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.0L and it has 244,866 miles on it and its still going strong, no oil burning and plenty of power! I like the wranglers, but have always been a fan of the Cherokees, except the new ones, the soccer moms can have them.

    Sadly, I had a friend die in the sand dunes like 2 decades ago and they think had he not been wearing a helmet he would have survived. He tumbled over a sand hill and when the quad rolled behind the handle bar slid between the visor and shattered his face. Had he not had the sidewall of the helmet to deflect the handlebar into the visor they think it may have missed him entirely.

    I have two issues with the Wrangler. 1. You can only get locking diffs in the Rubicon. How it is you can't get even a rear diff locker in a purpose built off roader is beyond me. 2. Price. The Wrangler Rubicon's price has bloated well into full-size truck territory. There is no way I'm paying Ram 1500 Sport/Ford FX4 money on a Wrangler.

    Air the tires down and you will not even need to engage the lockers. Also...the 6 speed in the Wrangler is problematic. the NAG1 5-Speed auto is the only way to go. It will hold any gear through redline and never shift until you want in manual mode so its the same as a stick.

After 10 years and a total of 15 k into it, I have almost a new Jeep. 15k does include purchase price. I am not afraid of getting mud or water into it, or some battle damage. That thing I would be afraid of parking it in a parking lot. No way I would take it through the brush because afraid of scratching the paint. Also to much plastic on it. I would relegate it to being a mall crawler.

You could have the best set up rig with 37' and have an ignorant driver who doesn't know how to wheel. Driver is 90% of the battle.
