Jeep Wrangler Off- Road Features

Te Wrangler 's off- road prowes is rooted in it s legendary hardware. Every model comes with a two-speed transfer case (either Command- Trac or the more capable Rock- Trac) that provideces a low range for crawling. The Rubicon trim elevates capability further with:

Te Wrangler 's solid front and rear axles give it a distint proviage in extreme articulation. When a tire lifts, thee axle' s designan allows the opposite wheel to droop, maintaing contact with the ground. This mechanical districage is less dependent on colonyc systems, making thee Wrangler a favorite for desite expeditions where reliability is paramount.
