You can simply hose it out after your off-road adventures. Its two rows of seats are both roomy and comfortable. Its upright, tall seating position provides a commanding view of the roadway.

The soft-top roof is power-folding and can fold back on the rear tailgate neatly and the hardtop can be removed in seconds. It's not unusual to see the Wrangler zooming along on off-road or on road adventures with no top at all and filled with smiling passengers.

Under The Hood

Since it was first introduced in 1986, America's favorite off-roader, the Jeep Wrangler has been powered by a wide range of different engines. The first-generation engines were 2.5 liter, 117 horsepower inline-4 engines with 135 pound-feet of torque that were mated with a 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission. It was replaced with a 4.2 liter, 112 horsepower, I6 engine that produced 210 pound-feet of torque. In 1991 a new 4.0 liter, 180 horsepower, I6 fuel injected engine with 220 pound-feet of torque that's considered one of Jeep's best engines was added. It continued to work with either the 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.

An Evolving Engine/Transmission Combination

The 2.4 liter, I4, 147 horsepower Powertech engine that puts out 165 pound-feet of torque is another of the motors used in the Wrangler that works with a 4-speed automatic or a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. The standard engine on the fourth generation Jeep Wrangler is a 3.6 liter V6 285 horsepower Pentastar engine with 260 pound-feet of torque. There's also an optional 2.0 liter, 270 horsepower, I4 turbo engine with 295 pound-feet of torque. Both engines work with either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission.

A Legendary Off-Road Vehicle

Indirectly descended from the Jeep the American military drove during World War II, the Jeep Wrangler has earned a reputation as a vehicle that can nimbly handle any type of off-road terrain. The combination of its durable suspension, powerful differential and an engine and transmission that can perform well on any surface has earned the Wrangler the status of a legendary off-road vehicle. If you want a compact SUV that can handle city driving, winding country roads, high speed highway driving and the most rough, rugged and raw off-road adventures, nothing can beat the legendary, versatile Wrangler.

The Evolving Jeep Wrangler

Historically, the Wrangler name was given to a mid size SUV with a design based on the four-wheel-drive vehicle that was popular in World War II. It was modified, upgraded, modernized and unveiled to the public at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show. Today, the Jeep Wrangler continues to evolve. Although it still has its rugged, off-road bona fides, it is surprisingly modern and drivers can choose as much technology as they like. It is fundamentally a convertible available with front-wheel-drive or four-wheel drive that has coil springs in the front and rear and is attractive to people from any age group.
