Although most people will agree that the Wrangler Rubicon is the most off-road friendly model of the bunch, every Wrangler can hold its own in the wilderness.
There are five powerful engine options that cater to a variety of drivers. If you want an especially tow-friendly drive, you can check out the turbodiesel V6. To maximize rock-climbing power, check out the 470-horsepower V8 that’s exclusively found in the Rubicon 392 model. The new plug-in hybrid powertrain helps you achieve an incredible 49 MPGe combined.
Choose from five powertrain options:
- 3.6L V6 (285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque)
- Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder (270 hp, 295 lb-ft)
- Turbo 3.0L diesel V6 (260 hp, 442 lb-ft)
- 6.4L V8 (470 hp, 470 lb-ft) (Rubicon 392 only)
- 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain (375 hp, 470 lb-ft)
And you can outfit your Wrangler with the off-roading equipment that best suits your type of wilderness, whether that includes desert dunes or swampy trails.
The base Sport gives you more than just four-wheel drive, with standard tow hooks and skid plates to help you tour the trail. However, climbing the trim levels will help you travel further from the trail. The Sahara adds full-time four-wheel drive. And the Rubicon is a true off-road warrior, with special four-wheel drive with low-range gearing, an electronically disconnecting front stabilizer bar, electronic locking front and rear differentials, rock rails, and all-terrain tires.
