Jeep Wrangler

[Boilerup15]

I am starting to think about getting rid of the truck and getting into something with a little better mpg's. I know the wranglers get anywhere from 15-18 city mpg's. My truck currently gets 12. I still would like something 4 wheel drive. Inform me on all things Jeep Wrangler, I would prefer a 5 speed.

Yeah....15-18mpg. stock tires and probably a 4 banger 2WD to get that.

I love Jeeps - BUT - Nobody I know with a Wrangler gets better than 12 in the city or 16 highway. They get terrible mileage. You MIGHT see 18 highway with the tiny stock tires.

Even so... I LOVE JEEPS!

I don't know, that is just what I have read online so far. If it's true then I guess there is no point in me looking at them.

For fun - YES

For better fuel economy - NO

This one looks so clean though for an 89'

If you are going to go with a used Wrangler, I believe the 2002-2006 TJ is the best Jeep ever made. The REAL inline six and a manual trans is awesome. Some early TJs had some issues that were solved after 2001... but the 97 up to 06 TJ is the best Jeep IMHO.

What about the best from a suspension and axles standpoint? I am considering looking for one that needs an LS transplant.

I have read that the 03 se model rides like shit.

IDK how much you need or want a fullsize truck, but my aunt has a colorado 4x4 crew cab and gets 22mpg avg. Just a thought.
