INCLINED
TO
CLIMB
TRU-LOK® LOCKING
DIFFERENTIALS. Front and rear
electronic-locking differentials
balance speed between left and
right wheels, maintaining forward
momentum for the ultimate in
traction. An instrument panel-
mounted rocker switch can lock
either the rear or both axles.
(Standard only on Rubicon.®)
TWO-PIECE STRUCTURAL OIL
PAN.
A two-piece oil pan provides
a steel lower portion for impact
resistance with an upper aluminum
section for improved weight savings.
ROCK-TRAC® TRANSFER CASE.
A 4:1 low-gear ratio allows Wrangler
Rubicon to crawl at a low speed for
greater control and increases the
amount of torque available at the
wheels. (Standard only on Rubicon.)
HEAVY-DUTY SUSPENSION.
Solid axles with locating arms, coil
springs, track/stabilizer bars, front
steering damper, and tunable
monotube shock absorbers are firm
at low speeds and more relaxed
at higher speeds. (Standard on
Sahara.® A performance suspension
is standard on Rubicon.)
FRONT SWAY BAR DISCONNECT
SYSTEM.
Flip a switch and the sway
bar disengages when driving under
18 mph in 4WD-low (4LO) mode.
This allows the front suspension
to travel up to 25 percent farther
on Rubicon than Sport and Sahara
models. (Standard only on Rubicon.)
TORQUE TO TOW. Wrangler
Unlimited can confidently tow
up to 3,500 lb when properly
equipped with the factory-
installed Trailer Tow Group.
ROCK RAILS. Extra-tough body-
mounted rails provide additional
rocker panel protection. (Standard
only on Rubicon.)
BODY-ON-FRAME DESIGN. Built
with a frame that’s fully boxed for
strength, stiffness, and durability.
KEEP STEERING ON COURSE.
Wrangler features a steering linkage
and a recirculating-ball steering
gear. Its robust, cross-link geometry
helps provide one of the stiffest
possible linkage systems in a solid-
axle platform for steering precision.
DANA® 44 HEAVY-DUTY SOLID
AXLES.
Durability comes from
heavy shafts, stiff housings, large
pinion bearings, and above-center
pinion mountings for smoother,
quieter operation. (Rear Dana 44
standard on all models. Front Dana
44 standard only on Rubicon.)
BEST-IN-CLASS GROUND
CLEARANCE.

* Wrangler Rubicon
runs over the competition with
10 inches of ground clearance,
helped, in part, by its standard
32-inch BFGoodrich® off-road tires.

STRONG
HEART
PENTASTAR® 3.6L V6 ENGINE
5-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION with
A
UTO
S
TICK.
Gain exceptional efficiency and
out-of-the-gate performance. An
aggressive first-gear ratio offers ample
launch power without compromising
efficiency. Electronically controlled
engine torque helps you move
smoothly through every gear. The
new AutoStick feature offers driver-
selectable control to manually
change gears.
ROCK-TRAC® 4WD SYSTEM.
At the heart of the masterful
capability of Rubicon® beats one
of the world’s foremost four-wheel-
drive systems. It delivers extreme
rock-crawling ability, thanks to
the 4:1 low-gear ratio. Rock-Trac’s
low crawl speed makes it easy to
ascend or descend sharp inclines
and to crawl over obstacles.
The Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) delivers the power to
match Wrangler’s legendary brawn. Boasting 285 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque,
this efficient powerhouse is cast from lightweight aluminum and sips regular-octane gas.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) makes driving over rough terrain in 4LO mode smoother.
