Default 2012 Test Drive Information
Please post your comments and feedback if you have test driven a 2012 JK / JKU.

Information about which model, options and comparison notes to previous models will be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Just got a call that my local dealer got a JKU Sahara. I could not make it up there today AND just found my 2 door rubicon just made KZ Plant Release!!! So maybe, hopefully very soon I can give you a report on my own! If not Ill try to get to the JKU and get some info next week.

I didnt test drive it but looked through it a bit, i was really wanting to see the tow capacity which remains unchanged from previous years. The EPA estimates for the 4 door are 16/20 MPG.

Someone just buy one and put it on the dyno so we can compare it to other JKs. For prosperity or something. DO IT!

My buddy drove one and said there is hardly any difference. He was disappointed in the new V6.

I guess you have to drive one for yourself. Everyone's opinion is going to be different. Heck some guys dont think the 5.7 Hemi is all that great either.

Myself... Im going to do a 6.4 eventually.
