Jeep Wrangler Off-Road Adventures

 
The latest 2020 Jeep Wrangler offers interior comfort and technology that makes Petoskey commutes a breeze, and it doesn’t sacrifice its off-road prowess to make this happen. That’s right, the Wrangler remains a fierce off-road champion, offering common-sense ingenuity and advanced features to ensure you can tackle any adventures. From fording creeks to driving through rocky trails, you’ll trek through life with confidence in a Jeep Wrangler four-door or two-door.
 

Trail Rated® Badge

The Trail Rated® badge isn’t an empty honor. For Jeeps, it indicates that the Wrangler is designed with off-road adventures in mind and includes off-road parts throughout the exterior, interior, and powertrain. Plus, only vehicles that pass strenuous off-road testing in harsh conditions can earn the coveted Trail Rated® badge.What does Trail Rated® actually mean? Here’s the criteria:

• Traction: Jeep’s legendary 4×4 systems tackle rain, sleet, and snow with aplomb.
• Water Fording: Sealed electrical components, high air intake, and water-resistant openings are just a few of the features that allow your Jeep to fearlessly steer through water.
• Maneuverability: The Jeep Wrangler isn’t your clunky passenger SUV—steering and optimized wheelbases boost agility on Indian River roads.
• Articulation: The suspension and axle articulation work together to enhance flexibility over tricky terrain.
• Ground Clearance: Drive over logs, rocks, or anything else on the trail with ease. Jeep Wranglers offer exceptional ground clearance and protective underbody skid plates.

Jeep Legendary 4×4 Systems

Jeep has over 75 years of off-road experience, which means the standard and available 4×4 systems offer thoughtful engineering you can’t find in other vehicles. What are the four-wheel drive systems that come with the latest Jeep Wrangler models?

• Selec-Trac® 4×4 System: The full-time Selec-Trac® 4×4 System can automatically switch from two-wheel drive on clear roads to four-wheel drive when you need the traction to conquer snow, ice, rain, or mud.

• Command-Trac® 4×4 System: Torque is diverted to all wheels for incredible traction with the Command-Trac® system. The 2.72:1 low range for rock crawling and neutral for available flat towing combine to create a versatile four-wheel drive system.

• Rock-Trac® 4×4 System: This is the ultimate off-road choice. Rock-Trac® 4×4 features a 4:1 low gear ratio, Tru-Lok® electronic locking front and rear differentials, and an electronic front sway bar disconnect. Sitting in the driver’s seat, you’re an off-road king or queen!

Powerhouse Engine

The 2020 offers new engine choices, creating an even more impressive range of Jeep Wrangler configurations. With that said, the standard 3.6L Pentastar® engine has proven itself over the years in the Jeep lineup and generates 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque for the 2020 Jeep Wrangler. Need to tow your boat or pop-up camper during your next Harbor Springs camping trip? The standard Jeep Wrangler engine gives drivers a 3,500-pound towing capacity. Other engine options include:

• 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine with engine start-stop (ESS)
  • 270 hp
  • 295 lb-ft of torque
• 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine with ESS
  • 260 hp
  • 442 lb-ft of torque

Exclusively on the Sahara model, you can choose any of these engine options with mild-hybrid eTorque assist instead of ESS.

Off-Road Beast: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

If you want a Jeep Wrangler that is optimized specifically for the off-road life, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon may very well be your dream car. The Rubicon features next-generation Dana front and rear heavy-duty axles, enhanced off-road rock rails, and the Rock-Trac NV241 two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio.
