Theories on the Next Jeep Wrangler

Posted on July 3, 2015 by baysideadmin

Jeep is currently hard at work not only getting Wranglers out the factory door to the buyers, but also on getting ready to give the Wrangler a new design. While nothing has been shown to hint at what to expect from this, that hasn’t stopped anyone from trying to piece together ideas from what we already know. One such writer for Four Wheeler did just that and has some evidence to back up his thoughts.

One of the bigger Jeep events is the Moab Easter Safari. As it is with the rest, this year’s had Jeep bring along a number of concept Jeeps to show off to their fans. This year’s models were of all shapes and sizes. While there was nothing there to hint at what a Wrangler update would be, Fred Williams has a theory.

“Take it with a grain of salt. Jeep will build the next Wrangler with four eventual body styles, not just two: a lightweight two-door, a four-door Unlimited, a pickup truck, and a Wagoneer.”

Where is this idea coming from? It’s based on thinking of what the future holds due to new emission and mileage standards. Jeep is going to have a rougher road ahead than most to keep up with the regulations. “However, the 2013 Moab saw a super-lightweight concept known as Stich with a fabric body and slim trim lightened parts. This is a hint to a future lightweight Jeep two-door in order to meet stringent standards based on footprint.”

Check out the rest of the article to see his full thoughts. It is hard not to agree that Jeep will have to jump through numerous hoops to get the new Wrangler around harder regulations. What do you want to see in the next Wrangler?

2013 Jeep Wrangler Takes Home Four Wheeler of the Year

Posted on December 9, 2012 by baysideadmin

The Jeep Wrangler has taken home numerous awards in the past including Cars.com’s Best New Car for Off-Roaders, SEMA Show’s Hottest 4×4, and Ward’s Top 4 Engine. Now for the third year in a row, the Jeep Wrangler has taken home Four Wheeler‘s Four Wheeler of the Year award.

The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Moab Edition was announced as the winner early last week, and before it was named winner, Four Wheeler put the Jeep Wrangler through its paces. They tested it out on an off-road trail, pavement, and on a ramp, and they noted, “The Moab traversed all of the sand we threw at it, and it threw plenty back.”

In addition to road performance, they also looked at the vehicles interior and were obviously impressed with the Wrangler’s additional driver comforts. One judge said, “The inside is getting almost too nice for a Wrangler,” but the judges were ultimately happy with the leather seats, audio system, and 6.5-inch touchscreen display since it never affected the vehicle’s off-road performance.

Jeep Wrangler

According to Four Wheeler magazine, it’s the best 4×4 vehicle of the decade. To Cars.com it’s the best new car for off-roaders. It’s been awarded the top domestic brand residual value in 2010. One of the most iconic Jeeps on the market for its performance and look, the Jeep Wrangler is the perfect choice for anyone looking to take the road less traveled.
With the Jeep Wrangler you don’t have to choose between your favorite car and paying more for gas thanks to its 10 percent increase in gas efficiency. That’s going to come in handy when driving around with the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine powering any drive on the back roads of America now with 40 percent more horsepower, 10 percent more torque, and 26 percent faster 0-60 mph. You can expect to be on the road more and in the station less with the new Jeep Wrangler.
It continues the iconic look incorporating it’s classic look of the seven slotted grille and round headlamps that the Jeep Wrangler is best known for. It’s also the only 4×4 on the market that is convertible with its open-air design, perfect for that jaunt out in the wilderness. It’ll be a smooth ride, the Jeep Wrangler is built with comfort in mind. The insides is lined with only the best of soft-touch materials allowing for a peaceful ride thanks for the vehicles improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, Handling). It also comes with audio controls right on the steering wheel, allowing easy access and control over the Infinity Premium Sound system that has seven speakers for giving the best possible listen to any radio station or song. When you add on the ability to have front seats, already decked out in leather trim, heated it’s just too hard to want to turn down.

According to Four Wheeler magazine, it’s the best 4×4 vehicle of the decade.

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. In all, Jeep earns it’s bragging rights with the quality of the drive and the safety that it ensures anyone driving or riding.
