Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Off-Road Warrior:
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

January 24, 2019 by admin

2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited adds 22 inches and a pair of rear doors over the standard model.

What has been said about the Jeep Wrangler that hasn’t been uttered before? Not much, especially as this traditional body-on-frame Jeep utility vehicle product defines its own segment. Further, the nameplate enjoys tremendous brand recognition thanks in part to its lofty history, which can be traced all the way back to 1941 when the first government-issued models rolled out for the war effort.

The current Wrangler remains a fitting tribute to the original, although it certainly has evolved enough to bring with it some modern touches. The jouncy ride remains, but at least the current model is better behaved on-road than before. As for its off-road antics, this is the stuff of legends. Happily, the story continues with no interruption.

For 2018, it was a tale of two Wranglers. That’s because Jeep produced both the previous- (JK) and current- (JL) generation models concurrently. Jeep intended to fill orders for the JK version as it ramped up production of the JL. Further, Jeep initially distanced itself from the Wrangler Unlimited name, a term used to describe the four-door version and its near two-foot stretch between the axles. That decision may hold true internally, but the four-door is still referenced as the Wrangler Unlimited nearly everywhere else. We’ll do likewise here.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Overview

Jeep offers the 2019 Wrangler Unlimited in four standard trims: Sport ($31,545); Sport S ($34,745); Sahara ( $38,395); and Rubicon ($41,545). Add $1,445 for the designation charge. [A special edition Moab model ($51,300) is also available, adding a dual power-dome vented hood, front and rear black tow hooks, Jeep Performance Parts rock rails and the Selec-Trac Full-Time 4×4 System].

Three of the four trims correspond to the two-door Wrangler. Only the Sahara is exclusive to the Wrangler Unlimited. All models are four-wheel drive and have a standard V6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. An eight-speed automatic is available, as is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

New this year is an updated Advanced Safety Group package, which now includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning. It isn’t available on the base model, but it is an option on the other three trims.

A Matter of Design

We like that Jeep exercised much restraint when designing the all-new Wrangler. They could have come up with a modern interpretation of the classic, but they did not. Instead, the designers were tasked with keeping the best of Jeep, while adding a few new touches.

The “best of” features include several removable parts — windshield, doors, and roof. The big wheel flares are present as is the side-hinged rear door with spare tire mount. Among the important changes include LED lights on the front of the front wheel fenders and an update of the iconic seven vertical slat grille. The “new” look has the headlights encroaching on each of the outer slats. But it really isn’t something truly new — earlier CJ models sported the same design.

Inside, the dashboard is lower and the controls sit up higher. These changes make it easier to see everything, while maintaining its rustic look. The center console is dominated by a color display, which is as large as 8.4 inches in some models. The remaining controls are found in the console and include the window switches.

Jeep dresses the seats in one of three materials: cloth, washable cloth or leather. The middle selection is the choice of mudders everywhere — when you can bring a hose inside and wash out the interior, then you know its a good day [all models have removable carpeting with drain plugs]. Just be careful not to allow the backwash to nail your electronics.

The main difference between the two- and four-door Wrangler versions is seating. The two-door sits two in comfort up front and another two in the rear in a pinch. The rear compartment is otherwise more useful for storage than for anything else. In the Wrangler Unlimited, Jeep supplies the extra doors and desirable space to make this a true four-seater [five in a pinch].

On and Off Road

But enough with the looks. Where the Wrangler truly shines is behind the wheel — in particular, when operating off-road. On pavement, the ride is harsh at times, thanks to its ladder frame and solid axles. Steering also trails the competition, but as for acceleration, the V6 does not disappoint.

Your main dilemma comes in the choice of engines as both appear nearly even in the performance department. That said, the turbo offers more low-end grunt and may be the engine of choice for anyone who takes their off-roading seriously. It doesn’t offer the manual transmission, but the eight-speed automatic is no slouch here.

Ground clearance ranges from 9.7 inches on the Sport models to even 10 inches on the Sahara, topping out at 10.8 inches on the Rubicon. The Rubicon also has the best approach, breakover, and departure angles of all models with the two-door besting the four-door in the first two categories. It also comes with big 33-inch tires, lockable front and rear differentials, and a disconnectable front stabilizer bar.

As for the supplied Wrangler Unlimited Sahara edition, it finds its own place in the model universe. True, if you’re going off-road alone, you’ll want to know your terrain before tackling same. My area has seen an unusual amount of precipitation this past year with some muddy areas turned into ponds and lakes overflowing their banks to consume a forest. I eyed a few spots I wouldn’t have hesitated tackling before, choosing to avoid them in their present state.

Happily, there were enough places to splash through, sail over, climb and descend without wondering if “stuck” would become part of my experience. Most of the time, operating in 4H was sufficient, but whenever grip became an issue, shifting to 4L ensured forward progress. It also ensured that the frequent smile on my face didn’t turn to a frown or a look of consternation. There are few vehicles that imbue the confidence of a Wrangler. Heck, even most other Jeep models should avoid anything approaching climbing rock outcrops.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Safety & Technology

Jeep has certainly kept pace with the industry in terms of technology offerings. It doesn’t do a bad job with safety tech either.

All models come with an 8-speaker audio system, a USB port, and a color display. The displays range in size from a standard 5 inches to 7 or 8.4 inches. Options include satellite radio, additional USB ports, and a 9-speaker Alpine audio system. Bluetooth voice command is available, but only as a package upgrade with the Sahara and Rubicon editions. Both top trims also have a 115-volt power outlet.

If there is a weak area in the Jeep universe, then that would have to do with its safety tech. On the one hand, you won’t find such features as lane departure warning or lane keep assist, but blind-spot monitoring and rear park assist are included in an available Jeep Active Safety Group package ($995). Building on this package is an available Jeep Advanced Safety Group package ($795) with adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with emergency braking. Again, these packages are not available with the base model.

Auto Trends Recommends

What flavor is your ideal Wrangler Unlimited? We think starting with the Sport S trim is the way to go as it opens a path to the driver safety tech that isn’t available elsewhere. Opting for the available turbocharged four-cylinder engine ($1,000) may prove preferable for anyone serious about off-roading.

The available Selec-Trac III Full-Time Four-Wheel-Drive System ($595) supplies automatic four-wheel-drive, which acts more like an all-wheel-drive system. You get this system with the Sahara trim.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited does everything we expect and does so while remaining faithful to its roots. There’s nothing else quite like it, which is why it remains the popular vehicle it is.

Jeep Wrangler: There’s Only One

May 31, 2018 by admin 5 Comments

The fourth-generation Jeep Wrangler is a worthy successor to the original.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
There is only one Jeep Wrangler, except for 2018 there are two.

How do you update one of the most iconic models from one of the most recognized automotive brands in the world? If you are Jeep, you do so with extreme caution. After all, you risk tampering with a product that essentially sells itself.

That product is none other than the Jeep Wrangler, the spiritual successor to the General Purpose U.S. Army “Jeep” widely used throughout the European and Pacific Theaters of World War Two. Neither sand, mud, hills or debris were obstacles powerful enough to stop these indomitable off-road vehicles.

When the war ended, returning servicemen purchased the surplus stock, individuals who had first-hand experience with them. Civilian versions of the Jeep were then designed and a star was born.

Fast forward to today and the Jeep brand is now widely available in markets well beyond the U.S. and Canada. Indeed, with the formation of Fiat Chrysler, the Jeep brand has expanded to include more models as well as countries served than before. War footage may serve as the best indicator of Jeep prowess, enabling the company to reach consumers in new markets with relative ease.

A Tale of Two Jeeps: 2018 Wrangler (JK & JL)

2018 Jeep Wrangler RubiconThe Jeep Wrangler name rolled out in 1986 when then-owner the American Motors Company replaced the previous CJ with a new model. The change marked a clear departure away from war-derived models to a modern canvas outfitted with structural improvements undertaken to meet stiffer safety requirements.

The Wrangler itself is now in its fourth generation, with the new model rolling out for the 2018 model year. Although for 2018, Jeep had been producing both third- (JK) and fourth-generation (JL) models, enabling the automaker to ramp up production of the new one as it ended the old.

Jeep started JL production late last year and ended JK production in April, so if you want the latest model, you need to ask for it. Slight changes in design make it easy to tell the two apart. You can also reference a placard affixed to the inside rear door as it will identify which two-letter designation applies.

2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL)

Before we look at the JL at hand, here is what you need to know about the latest model. For starters, the new Wrangler has a base price of $27,495 or $3,750 more than the previous one. The difference is quite striking — 11.5 percent more — and much higher than what we would expect. The prices mentioned here include a $750 increase on the new model since it came out for all two- and four-door (Wrangler Unlimited) models.

Jeep offers three trims for the two-door Wrangler: Sport ($28,940), Sport S ($32,140) and Rubicon ($38,940). Choose the four-door Wrangler Unlimited and the prices are as follows: Sport ($32,440), Sport S ($35,640), Sahara ($38,940) and Rubicon ($38,940). Prices reflect a $1,445 destination charge.

Charting the Changes

At first glance, the untrained eye may have a difficult time spotting the changes between JK and JL Jeep Wrangler models. Happily, Jeep did not mess with the overall look by abandoning its traditional layout, sharp edges, strong shoulders and powerful stance.

Just imagine if the Jeep acquired contemporary fluidic crossover lines — the hue and cry from the faithful would have been enormous. Never mind the sound of heads rolling around on the floor at corporate headquarters….

The following are the important changes and highlights of the New Wrangler, Jeep’s internal name for the new model:

1. Discreet exterior changes.

2018 Jeep Wrangler RubiconThe new Wrangler features a widened track and updated fender flares with available LED lights. The timeless seven-slot vertical grille layout continues. This time the now larger headlamps press into the exterior slots. The side-hinged tailgate design continues.

Standard equipment includes halogen headlamps, fog lamps, tow hooks, skid plates and 17-inch steel wheels. Upgrades bring in LED reflector headlamps, rock rails, power-heated side mirrors, a modular hardtop, all-terrain tires and an upgraded soft top roof.

2. Expanded powertrain choices.

The venerable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 returns as the base engine with the new Wrangler. Jeep pairs it with a standard six-speed manual gearbox or a newly available eight-speed automatic.

This year, Jeep adds an optional 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. The interesting thing here is that the performance numbers are not that different from the standard engine. Indeed, the V6 makes 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, while the turbo delivers 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Unlike the base engine, this one comes with the automatic transmission only.

Next year, a third engine choice arrives: a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6, generating 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. It also comes with the automatic transmission. We omitted mention of the diesel in the specifications because it arrives in the JL’s second model year.

3. A vastly improved interior.

One of the complaints with the previous model was the overpowering dash assembly. Somehow, it just did not look or feel right in this SUV. This time, you will find a more subdued face and a lowered one too, matching the dropped down beltline. The cabin feels more open, which is especially helpful for anyone who tends to feel claustrophobic in tight quarters.

Mounted high is the controls. As you move your eyes down the center console you will find everything neatly labeled. It tends to get a bit busy there too— take note of the automatic window controls as they are placed in the middle of the console. Odd, yes.

The rear seat is about as snug as ever. It is most useful for children, although young adults will gleefully fit, especially when the roof is off and the doors removed. Certainly, this arrangement makes for a great way to cruise the strip!

Standard equipment remains thin with air conditioning worked in as an option on the base model. Cloth seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column and a washout interior come standard. Options include power windows and door locks, upgraded cloth or leather seats, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. If you are looking for the premium features found in today’s SUVs, the Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee may be the better choice.

4. Technology and safety considerations.

2018 Jeep Wrangler RubiconJeep equips the 2018 Wrangler (JL) with an eight-speaker audio system. You will also find a media hub with a USB port and an auxiliary port, a second USB port in the center console and SiriusXM traffic. Also available are 5-, 7- and 8.4-inch color displays, satellite radio, a 9-speaker audio system, a 115-volt power outlet and a navigation system.

Among safety matters, the Wrangler has a standard rearview camera. Options include hill-descent control, blind-spot monitoring and rear park assist. You will not find such features as adaptive cruise control or emergency braking. Expect future models to offer such a package.

Taking to the Road or Off

Jeep supplied me with a Wrangler Rubicon with the base engine paired with the manual transmission. I cannot recall the last time I had a four-wheel-drive model with a stick shift. I remember riding in one, but I cannot say for certain that I have ever driven one.

Well, the Wrangler with a stick gets the job done. The transmission does not shift as smoothly as a sports car (as expected) and clutch uptake can take some getting used to. What is cool is that both the transmission and drivetrain controls are stick operated. That is something I like and different from the usual knobs and switches most four-wheel-drive systems have.

2018 Jeep Wrangler RubiconI drove the Wrangler more than 100 miles on the highway one day to attend a Cars and Coffee event in another city. The ride is not especially comfortable, but it was not jarring either. Steering is wobbly — part of the blame rests with the all-terrain tires. Still, this Jeep is best explored beginning on soft or gravel roads, then on mud sloughs and hills.

You can leave the Wrangler in two-wheel drive much of the time, but you will want to switch to 4H for better footing. The Wrangler acquits itself on uneven surfaces and goes where other models fear to tread. In the one area where mud filled the tracks, 4L came in handy. Carefully work your way through and the mud splatters everywhere, offering proof to all of a fun time had.

Improvements this year include new Dana axles and a Selec-Trac full-time two-speed transfer case. These go with the front- and rear-axle lockers and a limited-slip differential. Both four-wheel-drive systems supply full-time torque management and superior grip in low-traction situations.

Parting Thoughts: 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL)

Based in part on what others have told me about the Wrangler, along with my personal experience with one, the new model is everything we expect, with perhaps a few surprises in the mix. These surprises include the expanded engine choices — I cannot comment on either, other than to say the turbo-diesel is also available in the Ram 1500, where the added pulling power and improved fuel efficiency are among its best attributes.

If there is one concern (or surprise) I have about the Wrangler JL is its significant price increase. Most people just will not opt for the base model as it is thinly equipped. So, you must start at the Sport and work your way up from there. Choose a Wrangler Unlimited and your price point pushes near $40,000. That may not be a lot of cash for established consumers, but for people entering the game, many compromises are in order. Yes, Jeep also affordable models, but then they are not anything like the Wrangler.

All in all, the Jeep mystique continues as best wrapped in a Wrangler or Wrangler Unlimited. With a pickup truck on the way and reports of new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models persisting, Jeep along with Ram should continue to provide the profit drivers for Fiat Chrysler.

Highlights of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL)

February 5, 2018 by admin 5 Comments

Jeep’s venerable Wrangler enters it fourth generation.

Think “Jeep” and invariably a picture of the Wrangler comes to mind. And as it should: the Jeep Wrangler is the spiritual successor to the original GP or Government Purposes vehicle that came to fame during the Second World War.

The Wrangler name is, of course, much more recent than that — 1986 to be exact. That’s when American Motors replaced the CJ, itself directly derived from the Civilian Jeep produced by Willys-Overland.

2018 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited

2018 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited

Early this year, production of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler began, launching the fourth generation of this iconic model. The following are our Auto Trends highlights of the 2018 Wrangler:

1. The familiar design continues

Worry that Jeep might do to the new Wrangler what it did to the Cherokee upon its 2014 return were always unfounded. Yes, the Cherokee offers a modern, if not polarizing take on the Jeep theme, but even that had its limits. Witness the 2018 Cherokee refresh.

The 2018 Wrangler pays tribute to the original Jeep with its round headlights and square tail lamps as well as the keystone-shaped grille and the expected seven-slat vertical design. Subtle changes yield improved aerodynamics, while the fold-down windshield returns. You’ll also find various open-air options as well as door, top and windshield combinations. In other words, the new Wrangler stays true to its iconic roots.

2. Two- and four-door choices

As before, Jeep offers both two- and four-door body styles with the 2018 model. The same naming differentiation continues: the standard model is the Wrangler and it comes in Sport, Sport S and Rubicon trims. The four-door Wrangler Unlimited comes in Sport, Sport S, Sahara and Rubicon trims.

This doublet started in 2006 and has continued since. These days, Jeep sells more of the four-door than the two-door model as families embrace the Wrangler Unlimited.

3. New and updated engines

Beginning in 2012, Jeep replaced the previous 3.8-liter V6 with a modern 3.6-liter “Pentastar” V6, an improvement that’s yielded a strong improvement for the Wrangler. From 2012 to 2017, Jeep had six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmissions working alongside this venerable V6.

Well, the V6 is back and it now works alongside a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, the engine now includes stop-start technology for improved efficiency. The Pentastar V6 now delivers 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.

Two additional engines join the Wrangler line this year. The first is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with an output of 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It is part of a mild hybrid system where a small electric motor controls automatic start/stop, electric power assist, battery charging, regenerative braking and other ancillary components.

The second new engine and third overall is a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6. Yes, the same one offered in the Ram 1500. It doesn’t arrive until 2019 and reserved exclusively for the four-door Wrangler Unlimited only. This engine makes 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. It also employs stop-start technology and like the turbo inline-four, it comes exclusively paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

2018 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited

4. Angles and clearances.

What’s a Jeep if you don’t take it off-roading? While many other Jeep products have off-road credentials, the Wrangler sets the pace. It does so with Command-Trac and Rock-Trac four-wheel drive systems, a new Selec-Trac full-time two-speed transfer case, Tru-Lock electric front- and rear-axle lockers, a Trac-Lok limited slip differential and 33-inch off-road tires — the better for optimizing climbing, descending and mudding.

Indeed, when it comes to approach angle (44 degrees), breakover angle (27.8 degrees), departure angle (37 degrees), Jeep leads the industry. Add in a 10.9-inch ground clearance and up to 30 inches of water fording and you have one capable Jeep at the ready. Every model comes skid plates, front and rear tow hooks, locking differentials on Rubicon models and a four-wheel drive system with 2.72:1 crawl ratio standard on Sport and Sahara models

Oh, yeah, this model tows too — up to 3,500 pounds. Versatility, anyone?

5. Here a package, there a package

Jeep has always been about customization, something owners are wont to do. The aftermarket is especially strong for the Wrangler. At the same time, Jeep offers no less than 11 packages and equipment groups, depending on the trim.

For instance, the Black Three-piece Hardtop Group — includes the black three-piece hardtop, rear window defroster, and a rear window washer and wiper. It’s worth a mention because just like the Trailer Tow and Heavy Duty Electric Group Package, it is available on every Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited trim.

Available on all but the base models is a Jeep Active Safety Group. This package includes rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and LED tail lamps. Yes, the Wrangler now includes safety equipment. Importantly, a rearview camera with dynamic gridlines joins the Wrangler line as standard equipment. Other packages improve infotainment, technology and LED lighting.

Starting and Top-End Prices

Jeep prices the 2018 Wrangler from $28,190, inclusive of a $1,195 destination charge. As for the Wrangler Unlimited, it begins at just $800 more — $28,990. Top-of-the-line models for both body styles surpass $40,000. Indeed, while playing with the Pricing Configurator, we came up with a high-end price of $53,290 for the four-door with every package, individual upgrade and miscellaneous items taken.

When it comes to taking on the Jeep Wrangler, nearly every manufacturer passes. The Toyota 4Runner is the one SUV to compare with the Wrangler Unlimited, but there’s nothing available to take on the Wrangler itself. As the saying goes, “It’s a Jeep thing — you wouldn’t understand.”
