It appears that Jeep haven't lifted their game with the new JL Wrangler. I see that it has scored a miserable One Star ANCAP rating.

It probably won't change much for the Grey Nomad fraternity as it's unlikely to be used as a Tug, but the 4x4 people would be disappointed.

Gday...

Here's some background to the one star EURO rating and the implication for Straya. Not as 'startling' when the background is known -

"Relaxed" safety inspection and "Hope to have fitted"

Says it all to me.

Gday...

cry sorry Trev. I shouldn't have butted in and provide that link. I apologise. hmm

I didn't realise the thread was to show another "Jeep shortcoming".

Cheers - John

Yeah I bet the thousands of people out there planning to buy a 2019 Wrangler as a tug would be shattered by that news not to mention all of the off roaders who must be really disappointed about not having features like autonomous braking and lane departure warning confuse
