5 Impressive Features of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is known for its unparalleled off-road capability and boxy style. The Rubicon and Rubicon Recon models are especially capable of taking you on an off-road adventure with ease. Learn about five features of these models that give the Wrangler such an impressive reputation. 

1. Exceptional Powertrain

Part of what makes the Wrangler so effective at traversing difficult terrain is its engine and transmission. The Rubicon includes a 3.6-liter V-6 engine and a six-speed manual transmission or the available eight-speed automatic transmission, which comes with hill descent control. The Rubicon Recon comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque while the inline-four engine produces 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. 

2. Heavy-Duty Drivetrain

Both Rubicon models are equipped with the 4:1 Rock-Trac heavy-duty part-time four-wheel-drive system to improve the Wrangler’s off-road capability. This four-wheel-drive system helps the Wrangler crawl at lower speeds, which gives you better control while on difficult terrain. Tru-Lock is included in the system, further improving the off-road experience with its front and rear electronic locking differentials. The standard heavy-duty drivetrain on the Wrangler Rubicon models helps you stay in control and drive anywhere with confidence. 

3. Additional Off-Road Capability Features

In addition to a powerful engine, an appropriate transmission, and a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive system, the Wrangler Rubicon models are equipped with other off-road performance features. These features include a fuel tank skid plate shield, rock protection sill rails, and a transfer case skid plate shield. If your next adventure takes you on a bumpy road, you’ll be glad to have these features protecting the underside of the Wrangler from rocks and debris. The Rubicon models are also equipped with red tow hooks and can tow up to 2,000 pounds. 

4. Comfortable Interior

Once you climb into the Wrangler, you’ll recognize the interior of an off-road vehicle and several other convenience features. Standard seat features on the Rubicon models include easy access driver and passenger seats and low-back bucket seats with premium cloth and the option for leather trim. Convenience features include air conditioning with automatic temperature control, illuminated cup holders, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and a locking glove box.  

To stay connected while on or off the road, the Wrangler is equipped with Uconnect 4, which includes a 7-inch touch-screen display, Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, and integrated voice command with Bluetooth. 

5. Advanced Safety Features

The Wrangler Rubicon models come standard with several features designed to keep you as safe as possible wherever you go. Some of the safety features include hydraulic assist brake booster, ParkView rear back-up camera, hill start assist, and electronic roll mitigation. You can also opt for the available remote-start system with models using the automatic transmission.
