The 2019 Jeep Wrangler Is The Cheapest Off-Roader You Can Get

The results are in: The 2019 Jeep Wrangler, according to automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, is the cheapest and best-bang-for-your-modest-buck off-roader on the market.

The company awarded the ride its 5-Year Cost to Own accolade. That means if you’re on a super tight budget, it’s the best four-wheeler you can get.

Kelley Blue Book analyzed all the cars out there and factored in all the possible ways you’ll spend money on your car after you drag it out of the dealership. It took into account things like depreciation, finance fees, insurance fees, and state fees. Plus fuel costs and maintenance costs, for good measure.

The 2019 Jeep Wrangler came out on top. It’s a highly affordable off-road option, all expenses involved.

This isn’t the car’s only accolade, too. The 2019 Jeep Wrangler also came out on top as the MotorTrend SUV of the year. It surpassed rivals in the following categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety and security, and value and performance.

You can choose from four different configurations: the Sport, Sport S, the Sahara, and the Rubicon. Pricing starts at $28,045, which is not that bad for a 4×4.

More affluent car folks would probably skip the 2019 Jeep Wrangler for a fancier, more premium and feature-packed option. Budget-conscious off-road fans would probably be happy with most of what the ride has to offer, though. Especially if they can save cash in the long run if they opt for this one. In any case, we’re excited to see what the model for 2020 will bring to the table.

“Honcho” Jeep Wrangler By Bruiser Conversions

Bruiser Conversions is one of the top dogs in the tuning and custom ride game. Its latest Jeep Wrangler Honcho is a stellar addition to the company’s already impressive off-road monsters collection.

This tough and ruggedly handsome machine is beefier than you can imagine. It dons a retro-styled front end, winch, steel bumpers, and a custom bed with an integrated roll-bar. Add to that a new Teraflex suspension and shocks, plus the choice of two powertrains — a 368 kW V8 petrol engine from General Motors and a 2,8-litre four-cylinder from Cummins — and you’ve got yourself one extreme Jeep Wrangler Honcho.

If that’s still not metal enough for you, it’s possible to crank up the Honcho to a whopping 515kW. That adds more power to the V8 version than you’ll ever need. Matching all this badassery is an equally hardcore exterior, featuring grey paintwork boasting a Gorilla front clip. Plus, you can get optional beadlock wheels if you want them. There’s a removable hardtop using factory freedom panels, a roof-mounted auxiliary light bar, and new rims wrapped in huge off-road tires.

Needless to say that this Jeep Wrangler Honcho is more than capable of handling the harshest of environments. You’ll be out touring benign bumpy roads to unforgiving terrain. You’ll love its electronically locking differentials on both the front and rear axles, in addition to the BFGoodrich Krawler TA tires, making this custom Jeep Wrangler the perfect ride for all your off-road adventures.

Pricing starts at $40,000, but expect to pay way more for the optional items mentioned above.
