No 185 k or 114 miles.that’s actually a lot of repairs for a 9 year old vehicle. Starter, radiator, and water pump all going out, and only 114k? Ouch.
114k miles is a low mileage vehicle.No 185 k or 114 miles.
The answer to your question will be determined by how you answer this...I have a 2020 Sport and was wondering how long these vehicles generally last? I've put about 15,000 miles on it so far (I've done 3 long road trips so far). I'm being sent to Chicago for 4 weeks and was considering driving from San Diego (2,000 miles) there and then back (4,000 total miles) so that I'd be able to get around easier for those 4 weeks, but I was afraid of putting too many miles on the Jeep. I know people say Jeeps, especially Wranglers are super reliable and hold well longer than other vehicles. But does anyone have a ballpark of how many miles to expect to get out of their Wrangler? I do my best to keep it maintained well and change the fluids at the designated times/intervals. This is my first vehicle other than a 1998 Civic that I'd bought used in high school that had 150k on it but was in pretty bad shape. Thanks in advance!
What does that tell you about the new stuff when the 4.0 is looked back upon as a paragon of reliability?...I love how folks praise the old 4.0. I personally remember that being the engine of hate...
The engine that was universally hated was always the four-cylinder but the 4 liter wasn't exactly loved either. It was just so much better than the four banger that people really had no other choice but to accept it. Now people talk about how great they were but I remember when TJ's were new and everybody complained about the lack of power and reliability.What does that tell you about the new stuff when the 4.0 is looked back upon as a paragon of reliability?
Old thread resurrected!The answer to your question will be determined by how you answer this...
How will you treat your Jeep in regard to maintenance?
The 4.0 was generally a great engine. For its day, it had great torque and was generally reliable and could last a long, long time with minimal care. BUT....the way people swoon over it is interesting....if considering it for its day, it was praise worthy and earned its rep.What does that tell you about the new stuff when the 4.0 is looked back upon as a paragon of reliability?
But that shows the false remembering of facts. The 3.6 with an 8 speed outdoes anything the 4.0 did. Some will argue torque, when torque on both is the same. Given an 8 speed versus 4, and no comparison on capability. That and anything with a 4.0 probably is a rusted heep. Not saying 20 years from now most JL won’t also be rusted out.What does that tell you about the new stuff when the 4.0 is looked back upon as a paragon of reliability?
