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:

  • Approach Angle: Up to 44 degrees on two-door models

  • Breakover Angle: Up to 27.8 degrees on two-door Rubicon models

These figures ensure that the Wrangler can confidently clear obstacles and navigate steep inclines.

Water Fording Capability
