2025 Jeep Wrangler: Off-Road Prowess Redefined
The Jeep Wrangler continues to set the benchmark for off-road capability, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the great outdoors. With its latest enhancements and a range of Canadian-specific models, the Wrangler is more prepared than ever to tackle diverse and challenging terrains.

Unrivaled 4x4 Systems
At the heart of the Wrangler are its advanced 4x4 systems, each tailored to provide optimal performance in various conditions:
Command-Trac 4x4 System
The Command-Trac system, standard on Sport and Sahara models, features a two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. This system offers part-time, shift-on-the-fly operation, allowing drivers to seamlessly transition between 2WD and 4WD when conditions demand it.
Selec-Trac 4x4 System
Available on Sahara models, the Selec-Trac system provides full-time 4WD capability. It automatically switches between two-wheel and four-wheel drive as needed, offering peace of mind in varying road conditions.
Rock-Trac 4x4 System
The Rock-Trac system, standard on Rubicon models, is designed for extreme off-road situations. It features a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, which provides incredible low-speed torque multiplication, enabling easy crawling over obstacles.
Traction-Enhancing Differentials
The Wrangler offers a range of differential options to maximize traction in challenging conditions:
Tru-Lok Electronic Locking Differentials
These front and rear locking differentials, standard on Rubicon models, provide maximum traction by distributing power evenly to all wheels, regardless of which ones have traction.
Trac-Lok Limited-Slip Rear Differential
Available on select models, this system automatically transfers torque to the wheel with the most traction, improving grip in slippery conditions.
Impressive Ground Clearance and Angles
The Wrangler body-on-frame design and optimized suspension contribute to its exceptional off-road geometry:
Ground Clearance: Up to 277 mm (10.9 inches) on Rubicon models
Approach Angle: Up to 44 degrees on two-door models
Breakover Angle: Up to 27.8 degrees on two-door Rubicon models
Departure Angle: Up to 37 degrees on two-door models
These figures ensure that the Wrangler can confidently clear obstacles and navigate steep inclines.
Water Fording Capability
With a maximum water fording depth of 762 mm (30 inches), the Wrangler is well-equipped to handle stream crossings and flooded trails. High air intakes, sealed electrical connections, and moisture-resistant body openings contribute to this impressive capability.

This advanced system acts as a low-speed cruise control for off-road driving, allowing drivers to focus on steering while maintaining a steady pace over challenging terrain.
Forward-Facing TrailCam
Available on Rubicon models, this off-road camera provides a clear view of the trail ahead, displayed on the Uconnect touchscreen to help navigate obstacles.
