Jeep Wrangler

There’s only one Jeep Wrangler, and outside the current Ford Bronco, nothing even comes close. For decades, the Wrangler has been thrilling owners with basic off-road transportation. But the “offs” don’t stop there. They include things like the roof, doors, and even the windshield! While it has grown larger and more expensive over the years, early Wrangler models are simple enough. As many off-roading enthusiasts know, if you're good with a wrench, just about everything on them can be repaired or replaced at minimal expense. But, even if you're not a Rubicon diehard, the Wrangler is still a great way to get out and enjoy the sun or tackle the snow.

Jeep Wrangler Generations

Jeep Wrangler JL (4th Generation: 2018 - Current)

Key Improvements: The latest Jeep Wrangler has significantly improved over the previous generation. The Wrangler is longer and wider, with upgraded engine options that include a 375-horsepower plug-in hybrid (called the 4xe), a turbocharged 270-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, a 285-hp V6, and a 470-hp V8. Regardless of engine, fuel economy doesn’t vary that much, with the 4-cylinder engines averaging around 21 mpg combined, the V6 between 17 and 19 mpg, and the V8 around 14 mpg. A short-lived diesel engine option lasted only two years and got a combined 25 mpg. The newest Wrangler offers better conversion ideas, like a simplified system for folding down the windshield and a new power-retractable soft-top built into the hardtop shell. There’s more to like on the electronics side, with standard touchscreen audio systems, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, side-curtain airbags, and more driver-assist systems, such as forward collision warning, a blind-spot monitor, and adaptive cruise control. More luxury features, better tech and audio systems, and upgraded off-road systems filter through the lineup. Still, this generation Wrangler hasn’t forgotten its roots, with manual crank windows and a 6-speed manual on base trims.

Model Updates: The 2019 Wrangler offered adaptive cruise control, while the 2020 models saw an expanded engine lineup, including a diesel and mild-hybrid 4-cylinder. For 2021, the plug-in hybrid 4xe and the V8-powered Rubicon 392 joined the lineup. The model year 2021 models can have an available front-facing camera and an Xtreme Recon package featuring 35-inch tires and a lifted suspension. A 2024 refresh brought revised aesthetics, an updated infotainment system, and a quieter interior. Air conditioning is finally standard in every trim starting in 2023.

Jeep Wrangler JK (3rd Generation: 2007 - 2017)

Key Improvements: Over its 10-year run, Jeep sold a lot of third-generation Wranglers, so we doubt you'll have any trouble finding a worthy used one. Compared to the Wrangler it replaced, the 3rd generation is larger and more powerful, with better ride quality and off-road ability. During this time, the 4-door Wrangler Unlimited arrived, as did features like power windows, navigation, LED headlights, and an electronic disconnecting front sway bar. Roof options remained a removable soft top and hardtop. The hardtop had removable roof panels over the driver and passenger. Additional safety equipment includes front airbags and electronic traction and stability control. The Rubicon debuted with the Rock Trac system with a 4.00:1 low-range gear, Dana 44 axles, and front and rear locking differentials. The 2007 through 2011 models used a 202-hp V6 that didn't get much love from the Jeep community. The 2012 and newer Wrangler is the one to get, blessed with a more powerful 285-hp 3.6-liter upgrade.

Model Updates: The 2008 Wrangler got a tire pressure monitor and remote start, while the 2009 gained hill-start assist. An easier-to-operate Sunrider soft top arrived in 2010, and the 2011 version touted a new dash design and interior. The 2012 Wrangler used a new 3.6-liter V6 rated at 285 hp. 2013 saw new seats with better side bolsters and more improvements to the soft top design. In 2015, a Rubicon Hard Rock Edition took off-roading to new heights, along with more options like a 9-speaker Alpine audio system.

Jeep Wrangler TJ (2nd Generation: 1997 - 2006)

This is the generation to get if you're looking for a fun second vehicle or weekend off-road warrior. Simple to work on and operate, the second-generation Wrangler is better than the first, mainly due to its coil spring front suspension. During this time, a long-wheelbase model called the Wrangler Unlimited arrived offering better stability and more cargo space, but it is still a 2-door.

Jeep Wrangler YJ (1st Generation: 1987 - 1995)

The first Wrangler replaced the beloved Jeep CJ7, offering a better interior, a modern dash, and more creature comforts. Square headlights are the telltale sign of a first-generation model. A 2.5-liter 4-cylinder was standard, with a robust 4.0-liter inline-six as an option.
