Why the New Jeep Recon is Just Wrong | JTS
Tony and Josh are back in the studio for a mixed-bag Jeep Talk Show covering Jeep Recon and Avenger news, the latest Grand Cherokee rear spring recall, Gladiator electrical fire recalls, and why quality lists keep ranking Jeep low. They talk brand loyalty dying, unibody doors-off design that looks wrong, slipping sales, Tony’s 2021 Gladiator experience, and whether these new models can actually go anywhere. Plus an FU on drivers who treat the center turn lane like a suggestion instead of a tool.

Episode Transcript
[00:00:00:21 – 00:06:20:23]
All right, Jeepers, Tony and Josh back together in the studio once again for another episode here. And this time we’ve got a little bit of a mixed bag of things we’re going to talk about. We’ve got the Avenger and the Recon that I just sort of want to briefly touch on just because they’re in the news a little bit right now. And I want to kind of touch the waters a little bit and see what’s going on with that. And we also have an active recall happening with another Jeep in the lineup. We’ll get into those apples here in just a moment as well. I’ve got an FU, UFing F coming up in just a little while as well. And I believe Tony even has his two cents to throw into the mix as well. So let’s get into it. Yeah, actually, if you don’t mind, let me get started with my bitch. I don’t want to take away the thunder from fuck you, you fucking fuck. I’m not that upset about it, but it seems strange to me in the world of social media, there are so many people, they come up with these lists of the quality vehicles that you should buy and they show this list. And Jeep is usually middle or lower down towards the bottom. And you hear these people complaining about Jeeps and the quality has gone down. And I know sales have dropped drastically on Jeeps. I don’t know the story there, but I like my Jeep. I’ve got a 2021 Gladiator. I mean, it’s low miles, but the quality is good. I mean, mind you, the one I had before it was 23 years old before I bought another one. And I drove it every day to work for 23 years. I changed the water pump. I changed things here and there. That’s routine stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, Radiator, those things go out occasionally. So they silt up and they go out. So I don’t see, I don’t know that I would buy anything else but a Jeep. I don’t see a quality issue. I don’t understand what quality is. Does quality mean it rides smooth and you don’t have to take it in to be serviced? And I mean, if you’re talking about stuff that you don’t have problems with, it’s kind of like an EV because an EV doesn’t have all those heat cycles, doesn’t have all the problems that the internal combustion engines have. So- No, it hasn’t done a different set of problems, but that’s a different story. Right, but the list is shorter. I just think these people are complaining about Jeeps because they desperately want one and they just don’t think people will like them if they have one. You know, I wonder if there’s another facet to this. I’ll give you- It has to be. For that, I mean, that theory works, absolutely. But maybe we’re entering into a new realm of no such thing as brand loyalty anymore. I mean, there was those families that only would buy domestic or they would only ever buy a Honda or they would only ever buy a Toyota, whatever that may be. You come from a family, you’d only ever buy a Jeep and that makes sense. And it does make sense for any family who has their loyalty for whatever brand they have because that’s the way it’s always been for them. Okay, you don’t know any different, that’s fine. You know, there’s room for growth, et cetera, et cetera. But that being said, maybe that’s a thing that just sort of isn’t really ingrained anymore. It’s not taught, it’s not observed, it’s not passed on, whatever it may be. And so, you know, we’re not seeing that brand loyalty anymore passed down from grandpa to son to grandson, et cetera, et cetera. So maybe there’s a degree of that and they don’t understand that, well, yeah, this is a Jeep that has heritage and they don’t understand a heritage when it comes to vehicles. It’s just another thing. It’s that thing that’s parked in the driveway. It’s the thing that gets them to the Starbucks and to the drive-through, et cetera, et cetera. They don’t really understand necessarily that this vehicle can also get you to places that no other vehicle could possibly ever get you to. And I think that’s a big factor that’s missing. And then you have combined with that, the brand loyalty aspect missing completely. I don’t know. Yeah, well, and then you see these reports. They’ll use these reports, they’ll show a chart, a graph, all these other things that make it, and say 97% of scientists believe this to be true and all these things that make you think that they know what they’re talking about. I’m not so sure that the people who are doing the graphs and things are any better about what they’re putting out there. I think people lie and I think people try to control you in what you say and do. I mean, I guess it could be said we’re doing the same thing by promoting Jeep. But mine comes from my heart, the fun. Well, it’s lived experience. I mean, you’ve got three Jeeps in the driveway. I mean, I’ve owned a couple over the years and I’ve had owned one for decades. So it’s not necessarily loyalty, but it’s also an understanding of what the vehicle is, what it’s designed to do, and what you actually do with it. Now, when we, and when I say we, I mean you, I, you who are listening to this right now, when the word Jeep is heard by you, there’s an image that is created in your head. And these people who denote Jeep as something lesser don’t have that same image when they hear the word Jeep or even jeeping or off-road or anything like that. There are images that are conjured within our brains that make us think of something that other people aren’t thinking of. They don’t think of a vehicle that can go off-road and get them to the summit of something to see a view that they could never, ever possibly see on anything but a computer screen, their phone, or a postcard. So, you know, there’s this aspect of, well, you’re just ignorant then. You just don’t know. Right. You just don’t understand. You don’t know better. I need to teach you. And again, it goes back to the whole thing. I hate to be cliche. This fucking sucks. It’s, you know, it’s a Jeep thing you wouldn’t understand. I think that’s very true. I think it’s very true. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t recommend buying anything that’s a piece of crap. I don’t know that Jeep has ever made a piece of crap. And at the time, if they were making, if they were making crap, I think that it was,
[00:06:22:24 – 00:06:34:11]
that was the style of the vehicles at the time. I mean, it used to be back in the 70s and the 80s, if you got 60,000 miles out of a vehicle, that was, you were doing really well.
[00:06:35:26 – 00:06:41:27]
I’m not so sure they weren’t building them like that though. So you keep buying them. And I’m at Summit Jeep. I’m not talking about all vehicles.
[00:06:44:16 – 00:08:33:05]
Yeah, I, I mean, yeah. Okay, I was actually having this conversation with somebody else just the other day about this. And, you know, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, a hundred thousand miles on a vehicle was a lot of miles. Yeah, bragging, right? Nowadays, it’s not really a whole lot of miles. It’s barely getting broken in now, you know what I’m saying? So it’s not uncommon to be driving around a vehicle a quarter million, 300,000 miles. 20, 30 years ago, that was a lot more uncommon. So it’s the longevity of a vehicle, you know, I think it definitely comes into it. But then there’s these other things that, I mean, you do, you know, some basic internet search and you get results from things like Consumer Reports, who has a very negative review, an opinion about Jeeps. And a lot of people trust the entity of Consumer Reports and how, you know, well they put things through their paces and what their opinion is on things. And so that doesn’t necessarily encompass the brand as a whole and what people are actually buying from Jeep. I mean, what’s their number one vehicle? It’s not a Compass, it’s not gonna be a Renegade, it’s certainly not a Liberty, you know, it’s not gonna be the Recon or the Avenger either, I imagine, I think those are gonna be hard sells as well. Now you can argue about global sales, et cetera, et cetera, but Jeep’s number one sell is, of course, the Wrangler and the Gladiator. Off-road intended vehicles, purpose-built vehicles, largest aftermarket support in the world, vehicles. Okay, now if you’re gonna review a brand, you know, review it as a whole, if you will, fine, that’s all fine and dandy, but look at the actual vehicles and what they’re intended for, what they’re designed for, what the aftermarket is supporting, and what the end user is actually using these vehicles for.
[00:08:35:17 – 00:09:01:20]
Yep, well, we’ll see, it was just something that irritates me, I keep seeing the Jeep’s name being sell-leaved on report after report, and if I thought it was crap, I’d tell you, but I drive my Gladiator and I enjoy it, it goes where I needed to go, been very impressed with it off-road, haven’t taken it off-road nearly as much as I’d like to. The Jeep Talk Show needs to invite some of these,
[00:09:03:07 – 00:09:25:06]
negative influencers, if you will, yeah, to an offer, to a little trail run. Oh, they would– Let me open your eyes, if I can. Why are you putting that on the seat, is that a depends? Yeah, we don’t want you to ruin the cushion there when you pee. Is that a puppy potty pad? What’s going on here? Fly to them, no, it’s okay, everybody pees when they go off-road for the first time.
[00:09:26:09 – 00:10:15:27]
So, speaking of off-road, I mentioned the Recon here just a little bit ago, and these are two new vehicles to Jeep’s lineup. One of them is running on the Wagoneer S platform, but it has a completely different story to tell. Both of these vehicles are being marketed by Jeep as a sort of go anywhere, do anything vehicle. And I’m not sure if these are really going to be the lifeline that Jeep needs right now. You mentioned the Jeep sales are slipping, they have been quarter for quarter for a while now. There’s a lot going on in the economy, obviously gas prices and stuff have a big thing to say about how much people have to spend on a new vehicle,
[00:10:17:03 – 00:10:42:26]
interest rates, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So, whether or not people are in the market for a new vehicle and whether or not they’re going to be looking at Jeep as a brand that may offer hybrids or EVs or something like that, whether or not these two vehicles are going to check any boxes for anybody in the next couple of quarters as far as sales go is left to be determined. But they do offer a couple of interesting options, if you will.
[00:10:44:06 – 00:10:54:29]
I mean, like removable doors, you know, they give you the open air experience like a Wrangler without having to, you know, pay the Wrangler price tag, but you’re in a unibody. What do you think about that, Tony?
[00:10:56:09 – 00:13:02:07]
Well, I mean, honestly, I think about the pictures I see on social media where somebody’s driving a Ford F150 with extended cab and they’ve taken the doors off. It’s somebody that’s wanting to be a Jeep. I understand that there’s actually a Jeep logo on this vehicle, but it doesn’t look right. That’s exactly what I’m saying. It doesn’t look right. Like, I mean, even my XJ, look, they make aftermarket kits to make you be able to get your doors very easily, but an XJ without doors looks a little funky. You know, a Wrangler without doors, it works. That’s the way it was designed to work. It’s always been that way. It looks like you went to the junkyard, got you a nice XJ, and you’re making payments on the rest of the parts that you’re gonna get. Yeah, where’s the rest of it? A nice Jeep guy, where’s the rest of it? Yeah, no shit. So, yeah, the Recon, it definitely is that. It looks like it’s very hard trying to be something that it’s not. And maybe it is something. Maybe they’ve figured out, maybe Jeep has finally figured out the unibody secret, and they’ve developed a vehicle that not only can come apart, but also go through the rigors of off-road, handle itself very well, and then go back together without any problems. That’s where I think the problem is going to arise, where they’re going to have a sales issue, we’re gonna start seeing recalls, whether we’re gonna start seeing negative sales or negative reports, because the Recon doesn’t exactly go back together the way it should after you take it off-road and you’ve had it apart a couple of times. So I don’t know how this unibody vehicle that is very much being marketed as an off-road vehicle is going to play out for Jeep’s strategy in the long term. But it’s an interesting play. It’s an interesting vehicle. I don’t know if this is a Texas saying or not. I gotta wedge this in here. I don’t know if this is just a Texas saying or not. You let me know. It’s like seeing tits on a boar hog.
[00:13:05:00 – 00:13:05:25]
(Both Laughing)
[00:13:07:07 – 00:13:13:22]
Not got way too vivid of an imagination for that kind of crap, Tony. It’s just not right. No, and that’s what I’m saying.
[00:13:14:23 – 00:14:25:01]
Okay, but if it works and it sells, and this is the thing that this generation wants, and maybe the Wrangler sort of starts to drift into the old man’s vehicle, I don’t know. It could be, it seems to be that might be some of the marketing that, it has that feel to it. I don’t know. I’m calling it right now, but whether I’m proved wrong or right, it is what you have to be seeing. Well, yeah. But hey, speaking of recalls. I’m sorry, they haven’t stopped making the Wranglers yet. So I’m okay. I’m never gonna stop making the Wrangler. I’m okay with a little experimentation. Eventually, I think we’ll find out the end of the Wrangler as we know it. And that’s where we’re gonna see some four wheel independent suspension and the return of the four cylinder and things like that. I think there may come a day where we will see the end of the Wrangler as we know it, but that day is not here yet. Do you think people that used to drive CJs and the military Jeeps and all that, do you think that the Jeeps have ended from what they do Jeeps as?
[00:14:27:06 – 00:15:11:08]
The utilitarian aspect of it, yes, to a certain extent, but I mean, the earlier Jeeps were very much more, they seem to be a much more rugged vehicle. But steel was stamped thicker, vehicles seem to be built better, they were simpler rigs back then, there wasn’t as much to go wrong. And so it just, maybe there’s a nostalgia aspect to it. All of that sort of plays into it, but yes, to a certain extent, but I think– I couldn’t see driving one of those daily though, even if you could– Back then, yeah, sure. I mean, I don’t know, why not?
[00:15:12:15 – 00:15:20:26]
Well, they would go 50 miles an hour, the military. Well, yeah, I don’t know.
[00:15:22:15 – 00:15:54:28]
When that was a new vehicle back then and everything else drove like shit too, I don’t think it’s a big deal, but we’re used to much more modern drive trains and suspension systems now that have capabilities that vehicles back then could only dream of. So we’re a little bit spoiled, we’re a little bit broken when it comes to that, but it’s still there, the desire, the need, the want, it’s all there. AC, son, we just drive faster. No, Dars, what do you need AC for, son?
[00:15:58:15 – 00:16:05:06]
So I mentioned recalls earlier, Tony, the latest recall is out with Jeep, and this is just another sort of like,
[00:16:06:06 – 00:16:36:24]
I gotta ask why, why is this happening? Now, Jeep seems to be having for the last year or two a problem with recalls. Now, they’re not the worst, I’ll give them that, there’s certainly a lot of going on in the recall world and the automotive world as a whole. I mean, I believe that we’re still ahead of GM, I mean, as far as Ford, I believe they have more recalls than we do,
[00:16:38:01 – 00:17:29:08]
so by a long shot actually. So yeah, it’s not all bad news, but GM is just behind us, not all that much. We’re a solid number two as far as the number of recalls go across the board. Ford is number one, Jeep’s number two, GM’s number three. Okay, there’s your big three right there. Of course, they’re all gonna be trading positions over the decades, that’s to be expected. There’s a lot going on as far as new vehicle development and of course, Ford is trying very, very hard to try and be Jeep. So they’re gonna have a ton of issues and I think that’s a big problem, a big contributor to why they’re number one. That being said, the Grand Cherokee seems to be the number one when it comes to recalls for Jeep. What the heck is going on over there? That I believe is the bad apple that is spoiling the bunch, if you will.
[00:17:30:10 – 00:18:05:23]
I think what Jeep did, what Stellantis did is they took all of their underperforming people in every department and just sort of shifted them over to the Grand Cherokee side and said, okay, all of you people are now over here. Consider it a promotion, if you will. It’s a lateral move. Here, you’re working in the Grand Cherokee department now. And so now there’s this pool over there, the entire from the head of development on the Grand Cherokee to the very last person emptying the waste back at the end of the day type of thing.
[00:18:06:29 – 00:18:20:23]
They’re all just rejects or something. I’ve gotta see. Cause the latest recall is the second one in six months, Tony, that is for the same exact thing. The rear spring will just fall off.
[00:18:22:06 – 00:19:51:23]
Okay, you’re driving down the road and your rear spring just sort of dislodges and comes loose and just falls off. I mean, it doesn’t go bailing down the road, but nonetheless, it comes out of where it’s supposed to be. You no longer have a rear suspension that is acting like it’s supposed to. The attitude of the vehicle will also shift. It can cause a wreck. It could possibly kill you in worst case scenarios. But that being said, there hasn’t been any accidents or injuries reported of this recall, but it’s the second recall in six months for the same thing. Six months ago, the NHGSA had a recall for the same thing, Jeep’s rear spring coming dislodged. Why wasn’t it fixed? What happened to the investigation on the first round? And why are we having another recall for the same thing? This never happens. Why is it happening to Jeep? And why do all these recalls seem to be happening to the Grand Cherokee? Look, I’m not a huge Grand Cherokee fan. I mean, they certainly have their place. The Grand Cherokee won a ton of awards over several years. That being said, it is part of their segment. It is a nice vehicle in its own regard. But for whatever reason, Jeep just can’t get their crap together when it comes to this vehicle because it seems to be taking the brand down as a whole for every three months, there seems to be something else popping up with the Grand Cherokee. Another issue, another thing in the news, another recall, yada, yada, it just, it never ends.
[00:19:53:00 – 00:21:06:23]
Yeah, well, don’t forget about the fire thing that we reported on a month or two ago about the gladiators and the modern Wranglers forcing a electrical connection. And now there’s a big recall for that. My recall came in the other day, about a week ago. So I have the recall for the gladiator now. I got to check and see if it’s something that they’re going to be keeping for a while. I would hope that they would pull it in, check the wiggle the connection. If a fire doesn’t start, you’re okay. Just got no sparks Johnny, we’re good to go. (Laughing) I mean, is that all it is? Geez, it’s gotta be more than that. No, they’ll keep it for a week just to look like they’re doing something. Yeah, well, you might get a loaner in the meantime. Maybe you can score yourself a Grand Wagoneer or something. I don’t know, that might be kinda cool. I think Chris, I don’t know if you know this or not, Chris is, he has a head leak on his 3.6 on his 2020 gladiator. And it’s in the shop right now and they gave him a loaner. They actually are keeping it longer than what they said. So the Grand Cherokee they had, he could only put 1200 miles on it. So he had to take that back and he got something else. Oh, it’s a Dodge Ram truck, but it has the hurricane engine
[00:21:07:25 – 00:21:39:24]
with two turbos for the low end and the top end. And he says that I would think, I think it’d be cool to drive someone with a hurricane engine in it. I’ve heard a lot of stuff about it. Apparently it’s a really nice engine. That’s the new inline six and he’s got the twin turbo version of that. That should be the big horsepower output version of that engine. He doesn’t like the sound. I don’t blame him, but I could understand the sound being, not that throaty sound or even the sound of a 4.0. No, you’re probably hearing turbos school up more than anything, but yeah.
[00:21:42:25 – 00:21:51:29]
Now, well, you know, that’s, I’d take one of those as a loaner too. I can’t argue with that, but nonetheless. That are walking, so.
[00:21:53:13 – 00:22:17:22]
Yeah, true, right? Taking the bus. We got this little e-bike for you over here. Thanks. Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention this. They’re taking care of him. It’s not under warranty or anything, but they’re working him a deal, Jeep is, and they’re taking care of it for a nice, it’s a lot of money, but it’s not several thousands of dollars and they’re doing both head gaskets. Nice.
[00:22:19:06 – 00:22:26:28]
And whenever they asked him for his email address, he gave him a Chris at Jeep Talk Show and he goes, “Oh, Jeep Talk Show?”
[00:22:28:03 – 00:22:32:21]
Get out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you’re with Jeep Talk Show?
[00:22:33:29 – 00:23:01:17]
So that’s all, I don’t give a damn about his head gaskets. I think the recognition, the name of the– Recognition, heck yeah. That’s what it’s all about. We gotta get a banner over to that shop. He’s supposed to pick it up today. I wonder if he got it. I bet you he did. We were taking bets that they’re not gonna have it ready in time, the time they gave. I had to reach out to him to see what’s up. Yeah, that’s funny. Yeah, now we gotta send a JTS flag over to that shop and some fans over there. Be nice.
[00:23:02:28 – 00:23:29:02]
So how about an FU, UF, and F? We got time for one of those, Tony? Are you upset again? Are you upset because you didn’t get it out of your system last week or? A little bit. Sure, it’s pent up energy, but I’ve always got some Fs on store. Oh, I know you do. I got an F bomb, an actual F bomb around here somewhere that I’m just ready to drop at any moment. But yeah. No, so yeah. Get them.
[00:23:30:14 – 00:23:32:16]
This week’s “Fuck You, You Fucking Fuck”
[00:23:33:17 – 00:23:56:04]
is brought to you by General Civil Engineering and the guys who paint the stripes on the road. Tony, imagine if you will, play along with me here. You’ve got a road and just a road going down, whatever. You’ve got one lane going one way. You’ve got one lane coming back the other way. What is the lane that would be right in the middle of those two lanes?
[00:23:57:22 – 00:25:59:06]
The “Fuck You” lanes. Well, we’re getting to that. That would be called the turn lane. And what purpose is the turn? Why is that lane there? What purpose is in the turn? So you can get the hell out of the way of traffic that’s going through and wait your turn so that you can make a turn. Yes. I believe personally, just my opinion, that the turn lane is meant to be turned from, not through. You don’t turn through the turn lane. You turn fucking from the fucking turn lane, you fucking fuck, okay? That you don’t slow down to seven and a half miles per hour before you then almost coming to a complete stop, finally decide to turn your happy ass left to go to McDonald’s or something. No, the turn lane is there for you to at speed enter into without even touching the brake. You move into that turn lane. You then apply the brake and getting the fuck out of the way for traffic to move past you and keep going. So the flow of traffic can continue. You don’t stop almost coming to a complete stop, turning across the turn lane, like it’s some invisible thing to be turned across instead of used for what it’s fucking called. Oh my God. Is this not taught anymore to the giant left arrow signals, things in the middle, the giant shapes that point you going one direction, do those not give you a clue that maybe perhaps that lane should be reserved for people who want to turn from it? What else is it there for? What do the lines that, you know, solid in the dash line where you never taught what the solid in the dash lines mean clearly not because now you’re sitting with half your vehicle in two fucking lanes waiting to turn into a fucking shopping mall, you fucking fuck. So fuck you, you fucking fuck for not knowing what the fuck the lines mean, let alone the lane in the middle and what it’s for.
[00:26:01:25 – 00:26:26:21]
Do you get those where they don’t, they can’t decide if they’re going to get into the turning lane or stay in the lane that they’re in. And I’d really like the ones where they’re cruising along, they’re right on the edge of the tires, right on the edge of the line between the turning lane and the main lane. And then they’re looking and they go, oh, this isn’t where I wanted to turn. Let me dart back into the, Yeah right.
[00:26:27:23 – 00:26:44:02]
And they got the signal on, I’ve already got the pedal to the floor to pass their dumb ass. Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I noticed you’re taking a right turn from the left lane and the end of the thing, oh, wait a minute, I wanted to go that way. Shit.
[00:26:45:08 – 00:27:49:22]
I don’t have my McDonald’s coupon, I can’t go there. I see them all the time. And that’s why I get like this. And because these people are out there, he’s like, I’ve never seen these people before, why is he so excited about this person? These people must not exist. I’m saying they can’t see the pigment of his imagination. No, they’re real, they’re out there and they must be stopped. All right, Josh, you’re 85 years old. You’re in a self-driving vehicles because they’ve taken over the world. And you’re going to be the old guy in the back going, you kids, you don’t know, people wouldn’t make a turn in the turn lane, we’d have to fight with them. I’ve already thought about this scenario. No, I’ve already thought about this scenario. I’m gonna be 85 years old, but I’m gonna be the one here because I’m upside down in what the driver’s seat would be looking for some sort of access panel underneath the dash. So I could see what’s going on up underneath all of this and see how it works. And perhaps maybe even cause some fuckery. It’d be like warning, further go in any further, you will get a security violation.
[00:27:51:13 – 00:28:20:02]
Oh man, I know it’ll be on film and stuff. I’ll go viral, but I’ll be like 90% of the time. It doesn’t matter the level of technology, it doesn’t matter the level of control, people like you and I will always be able to fuck something up. Absolutely, we never underestimate the power. We have too much information from all the stuff that we’ve learned about electronics and vehicles and mechanic stuff, and it’s gonna be good. They won’t put us in jail because that would be cruel and unusual punishment. No, they’re gonna have to put us to work. That’s the problem.
[00:28:22:04 – 00:28:27:08]
We’re gonna get hired by the CIA and our elder years and it’s like, all right, you fuckers, get to work.
[00:28:29:12 – 00:28:33:09]

[00:28:55:13 – 00:29:04:28]
