livability of the

versus the

so here we have the snazberry jeep sahara and we're going to compare it to our granite crystal rubicon right here so each of these vehicles I custom order from jeep with exactly the same options, so each vehicle is equipped with the Sky One Touch roof, which is the convertible hardtop, so both vehicles are also equipped with the cold weather package, which is the seats and steering wheel with heating, that was a deal. switch my wife said we had to have we also have the safety package which is blind spot monitoring and the reverse direction camera and they both have the gorilla glass so those are the standard options now that doesn't mean the jeeps be the same because they come standard with different things the sahara has some options that the rubicon doesn't come standard with the rubicon has some options that you can't even get on the sahara from the factory so I'll show you those differences and then we'll continue with how we feel about these vehicles in general.

Okay, now let's talk about some of the differences in the exterior of the vehicles. We'll start over here with this beautiful Sahara Snazberry. Okay, so the Sahara comes standard. and this is the only way to get it with these chrome inserts all around, so you'll notice the intakes here are chrome, the eyelids here are all chrome and down here on the bumper it's also chrome and this is the only way the Sahara is if you notice that in the Rubicon version it is darkened or charcoal gray on the lids of the covers and down here on the bumper, so that is a big difference that you will notice on the exterior of the two vehicles. up on the top of the hood of the Rubicon you'll notice the giant sticker that says 4 for e with the blue, it's got these air vents that look really cool on the side and then you've got the Rubicon writing all over the road.

On the side, the Sahara has a more standard jeep hood, it doesn't really differ from the gasoline model, but you will notice it very clean, very smooth, it really depends on your taste. The Rubicon fender flares, it's hard to tell because the granite glass here, but this. It's actually black plastic and it's the same way on the back. It is a black plastic fender in the sahara version. That fender is painted body color which is a sleeker look in my opinion, you can order it that way on the Rubicon but it's a 900 option and we didn't check that box, okay below you'll notice that on the rubicon you have this right here this is not a step it is a rock rail that protects the bottom if you go off road to prevent scratches and scars but the rubicon is a very tall vehicle it stands about an inch and a half Higher than the Sahara, so it's a leap to get there, so here's my

They're these giant, sexy 33-inch tires that everyone wants with these really cool black and silver rims. This is one of those things that A lot of people are wondering if this makes the ride noisier, what the ride is like on the highway and that's something I'm going to discuss with you about how my family feels about the difference between the drivability of these giant tires on the Rubicon and this big one. raised suspension compared to street tires on the sahara and how does that sound? Does it have a higher volume? Something we'll discuss a little later in the video.

Now we are going to move on to the inner part of the sahara four by e. Notice right away the leather armrest with this stitching, it's these sexy camel tan leather seats that I love with the sahara stitched in there, um, big difference up here on the dash, notice that everything is completely stitched, it's kind of high- final feeling and then on the dashboard that goes through the middle, you have leather here and it runs along the entire center dashboard, the steering wheel is leather, the center armrest has that stitching with the leather and down here you will notice the handbrake. it's got the leather with the stitching and the handles here are really nice soft leather so everything here feels really high end it makes you feel more like you're in a 60 grand truck so that's why we like it a lot this part.
Of our Sahara there is one more look, so now we move to the Rubicon interior and you will notice right away that this is not leather, it does not have those stitching, since I did not choose the leather option that I wanted. to check the same boxes, the sahara comes standard and the rubicon doesn't, so these seats are like a wetsuit like material, I like it, it has this blue stitching, um, it's interesting, it's comfortable, um and then you look up here on the board. You notice right away that it doesn't have that kind of fancy stitching that was on the top of the dash and in the middle it has some kind of plastic, it's some kind of durable plastic that goes all the way around. kind of rugged looking um not so high end and the same thing here on the center console it's not leather there's not those seams when you go down here to the handbrake it's a rubbery feel on this handbrake and the same with the handles here no It's so soft leather It's a rubbery feeling material, the steering wheel has beautiful blue stitching and it's the same nice leather, but that's what the Rubicon looks like and when you go to the back a lot of people have been asking yes, it has armrests. in the back, in the builder on the Jeep website, that's not there, but I can tell you from what I'm seeing that their builder is not in some elements, um, and this is the interior, so here we are , this is our sahara.
There are so many things to like about this truck. I just wanted to talk a little bit about some of our favorite things. This pearl coat color. We are all in love with this color. We get a lot of praise for it everywhere. Wow it's limited in availability so when I bought this car it was available and then it wasn't and then it was back in stock so if you really like it you might have to wait a few months for it to be back in stock but I. I'm sure we like it a lot because it's smooth, it absorbs bumps, it's easy to drive, it's a little quieter, it feels like it's a little lighter, so in electric mode you get a little more acceleration than the heavy Rubicon.
As far as tires go, these road tires have a lot of benefits: they're soft, they soak up the bumps that follow in a straight line, but they sure don't look as attractive as those beefy mud tires on the Rubicon, and man, do I like them? do you like how they look? Better, some of our favorite parts of the Sahara are actually in the interior, um, is this, the beautiful interior really feels exclusive, makes it feel worthy of a sixty thousand dollar truck, with all the leather, the stitching and the shape where the finishes are. in every way on this and that's really something that we prefer and of course it's an option.
You can get the Rubicon with an interior like this, but you have to add it and that's something I missed. so here's that rubicon and we sure love the way that blue looks with the granite glass. um it really brings out those beautiful tires and we like those rims, the hood graphics, everything about it just screams deep so we just like it a lot. The way it looks, I think we can all agree that it looks really cool. My daughters, even though they can't get in without pulling on the handles and jumping around a bit, still prefer this one, uh, just for the looks of it.
It's really good, now those tires add a bit of bulk but the way they look so cool it's definitely worth that trade off, I think what I struggle with is the interior, very simple, not really worthy of a 65. 000 dollar Jeep the way it's set up now of course I can you could go for this with leather which was definitely a mistake on my part so this one has that heavy duty plastic over here and no seams and stuff like that . That's where I'm a little lacking, but overall it's really nice, and there's a look up to the top of the sky, a touch all the way back, really cool, it's so high I can barely reach it to show it, so just to summarize. where I stand in this whole endeavor and what jeep would I choose if um well what jeep should I choose um everything in my body tells me that I'm happier when I'm with the sahara it gets slightly better mileage it's a little more comfortable to drive it's easier when my wife drives it she has a little less trouble getting in and out and even just maneuvering it so i really like the sahara but something in me feels cooler when i drive the rubicon so i lean that way right now, I'll update you in a couple of weeks when I really have to make a decision, so thank you all and keep asking me questions if you have any.
I'll try to film something or respond. any question thanks
