Jeep is proud about their 4WD in their car brands. To showcase just how proud they are of the quality, they have their own badge that is found on all of the 4x4s that pass every test they throw at them. It’s the Jeep Trail Rated badge and if it’s on the jeep, then be guarantee that it’s been rigorously tested to be approved. In order to get that badge it must pass in the following categories:
・ Articulation
・ Maneuverability
・ Water Fording
・ Ground Clearance
・ Traction
This is where the Wrangler really gets to show off it’s stuff. It has the most traction of any Wrangler EVER. Best in class water fording capability (which is up to an astonishing 30 inches of water). Best in class ground clearance and even best in class turning diameter. That’s a lot of best in class wins for the Wrangler and it comes for a reason.
Moving on to the engine of this amazing machine, it’s all about the 3.6L Pentastar V6. With the ability to deliver 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, you’d expect it to have to come at a cost. Not really, in fact, this engine offers an improvement in the fuel efficiency, giving up to 21 miles per gallon on that venture out to the Adirondacks for the weekend. It comes with two options for the transmission, the first being a five speed automatic and the other being a six speed manual transmission.
A Jeep this good makes sure to maintain that quality it brags about all the way into the protection it offers the driver and any passengers. A prime example of the lengths Jeep goes to make you safe and sound is the sports bar that uses high strength steel to improve the side impact performance as well as control when at highway speeds. The airbags that the Wrangler has is multistage for both the driver and front passenger. There is also side supplemental airbags. For even more peace of mind, there are available seat mounted side airbags that deploy from the outboard side of the seat that enhances the protection for the head and thorax should a side impact occur.
