I am not buying one, but I have a 2020 Ranger with a turbo 4. I live near the North Wind River Ranger in Wyoming and drive at elevation daily. The turbo is SO MUCH better at altitude I will never go back to NA engine. The low end torque is sick and most important it maintains power as elevation increases. Not to mention better MPG than my Taco ever got.

Seems to be a more and more common thing anymore, a lot of today's gas engines sound like a diesel with all the rattling and knocking noises they make....yeah if you want a long term vehicle avoid those undersized turbo engines. They don't have a very good ride quality either...would be a fun offroad only toy, but not worth the prices they want for them.

Vehicle prices are just getting insane. I fully understand that this is a highly capable, fully loaded off-road monster, that you can also daily, if you don’t mind the punishment, but it’s still crazy. There are very few manufacturers that have well equipped vehicles for a reasonable price still. Subaru comes to mind. With their most expensive fully loaded model coming in around 47 or so I believe. I mean the average transaction price for a vehicle now is over 48 which is nuts. And the problem is that the automotive media is trying to downplay it. I can’t tell you how many reviews I’ve seen of the new Land Cruiser being referred to as “affordable”. Lol are you serious? The base model STARTS at 56. Now granted, compared to the last available LC in the US which was around 80-100, sure, 56 is “affordable”. Just like the ADMs. As long as there are people out there who enjoy being ripped off and continue to pay this ridiculousness, they are going to keep charging it. Awesome rig, crazy capabilities, but 66K? Nah. Good review as usual though Ryan. And I will say that you do generally call out pricing when it’s atrocious. Anyway keep up the good work.

Perfect timing Ryan. Just rented a Wrangler Rubicon in Arizona which was a first for me. Moderate OHV trails were easy even without all of the off road features.

4 Auto is for pavement driving. It's not meant for off-roading. I mean, you can, but you increase the chances of overheating the clutchs built into the transfer-case. It's the MP3022, in 4 Auto it's sort of like having an AWD mode.

That's where Jeep went wrong when they did that 4 auto mode, they should have went back to the old school mechanical Selec-Trac transfer case setup that was found in the XJ, MJ, ZJ, WJ, and the KJ....that system had a mechanical open differential in the transfer case, no clutch packs like today's auto mode transfer cases use. I wish I had a way to record some video footage with my Liberty between full time and part time modes, there's a huge difference in capability between those 2 settings that many people probably wouldn't realize. On a test hill, I found I'd spin a tire or a couple, couldn't make it up in full time, shift to part time and it would crawl up it with much less fuss....low range you could just about idle up the hill across the ruts.

What a cute little yellow Wrangler!

The trunk of my YJ was plenty. Use a tailgate rack above the spare. Roof-racks, spare-tire racks, hitch-racks, and wheelwell storage can hold enough stuff for 4 occupants in a 2dr. 4 Auto is basically AWD. The old NP242 SelecTrac was simpler than today's SelecTrac...and it worked fine.

Team 2.0L for me - despite its very noisy drivetrain. More torque, lighter weight. -> See a lot of comments about pricing. Side-by-sides push $30-$40k all day long.

Ok, so this thing is pretty well equipped. (understatement) But at $66K, it is a bit steep for me. Is it wicked and capable? Yes. Do I like this configuration? Yes.
