Yep, Old Faithful is back, wading back into the fight, sporting a facelift. If you’re into off-roading, you know this car well. To date, more than five million have been sold, making it the go-to off-roader for just about everyone.
Thankfully, the facelift did not mess with the mechanical bits. The Wrangler received some exterior upgrades, and the interior is quieter with newer tech, but underneath, it’s still pretty much the same car that debuted 37 years ago.
That means you get solid axles front and rear, high ground clearance, iconic looks, and the ability to remove the roof and doors to get as close to nature as possible. If you opt for the Rubicon, you get Jeep’s Rock-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system with a low-range transfer case. It also adds differential locks front and rear and the famous sway-bar disconnect for ultimate front wheel articulation.
It comes standard with 33-inch all-terrain tires, but you can order a set of 35-inch rubber straight from the factory, and thanks to new AEV packages for the 2024 Wrangler, you can go as big as 37 inches.
