Episode 841 – $50k Jeep or Polaris?
POLARIS HITS $50,000
TLD RZR PRO R
For 2023 Troy lee put his artistic efforts into the Pro R 2 ($44,999) and 4 seaters ($49,999) as well as the baby RZR 200 ($7,499). Approximately 1000 of each model will be made available worldwide. For those with that kind of disposable income.
2024 Gladiator
According to Motor1.com, the 2024 Gladiator was NOT covered in camouflage to hide any upcoming changes. To me, this means don’t expect any major exterior changes.
It does appear the Gladiator’s interior will continue to copy the 2024 Wrangler, so does that mean a 12.3-inch center screen that we reported on back in episode 839? We think so.
The 2024 Gladiator may share the Wrangler’s upgraded Dana 44 HD Full Float rear axle on Rubicon trims.
Jeep Wrangler Owner Finds Reliability Not So Bad After Four Years
Jeep has ranked right bang in the middle of the latest Initial Quality Study published by J.D. Power, which analyzes the reliability of brand-new cars, but an urban legend says that the company’s latest models are nowhere near as reliable as one might expect.
This is exactly why the person in the video embedded above didn’t want to buy a Jeep, afraid that it would constantly be on the shop floor, but as life would have it, his wife had a different opinion, so they ended up with a bright orange 2018 Wrangler JL Unlimited.
The American off-roader was built in October 2018 but sat on the dealer lot until September 2019 because apparently, nobody wanted a Jeep that could be seen by a satellite in outer space. Joking aside, the vehicle ended up in the hands of the presenter’s wife, who has been using it without major issues for over 40,000 miles, putting about 10,000 miles on the odometer every year on average.
