Why My 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the Best Gay Car

-Raffy Drives the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon-

Somehow, when I’m in the Wrangler, I want to start every conversation with, “’sup!” It brings out my inner bogan, and I want to climb cliffs, ford streams, and barnstorm beaches. I want to do it not because I have to, but because I can.

Though Jeep may not want to admit it, Wrangler is the automotive equivalent of waving your hands in the air like you just don’t care. It is a gay icon that has weathered the passing of time, taste, and fashion to endure. I drove down Oxford Street and got the wave and nod, with one twink taking a pic. Yeah baby!

Our Wrangler has the fancy new fabric electrically-retractable roof. Although you can drive on the highway open to nature, not that you’d want to because the wind noise is a bit much, you can’t operate it. If it is open and rain starts, you have to slow down a smidge, as if you were in a convertible ragtop.

We haven’t used the trick sway bar that can disconnect itself for extra articulation, we thought we were articulate enough.

We took Wrangler to the farm. The auto-4WD function is handy on questionable surfaces, and Australia has that in spades. We’ve had some washouts at the farm, with a track to Big Tree Hill pitted with ruts you could lose a school bus in. Wrangler just stepped over it, as if to mock the posh soft-roaders following it.

Inside:

Although CarPlay is wireless in the 12.3” Uconnect for 2024, our MY ’22 car still has the older system you tether to by USB. With the roof open, the sound has to be way up, but man, what a buzz. You can Doof-Doof with gay abandon, but I’ve got a 50’s playlist on, feeling more like driving the Amalfi Coast than climbing a goat track in New South Wales.

The roof opens right to the back hatch. Unlike the standard 3-piece plakky roof, you don’t have to waste time trying to find a place to put the bits once the roof is open. There is a nifty canopy you can use if you want to take the roof section off completely. Leaving the roof at home won’t see more wet action than you want, right?

There is a bunch of room in the back seat, and we’ll be using that on the return trip with 4 beefy boys aboard.

The 209kw Pentastar and 8-speed automatic still sparkle with a lovely silky note to the exhaust, and a creamy-smooth gear shift that is delicious in town. On the open road, Wrangler stretches her lovely long legs, cruising regally cross country. Every trip feels like that carefree cameo from just about every single gay movie ever, and Clueless, of course.

There is blind spot and smart cruise, but active steering aids are a nonstarter.

Conclusion:

We’ll be back with the full story, but I want to leave you with these thoughts: driving a Jeep Wrangler makes you like an invincible demigod. 5 million Wranglers have been sold, so clearly we are not alone in our love of this 4X4 that is as American apple pie.
