2017 Jeep Wrangler Temecula CA

How capable is the Jeep Wrangler?

Every 2017 Jeep Wrangler features a Trail Rated badge as an oath to its ability to travel off the beaten path. Just a few of the traits that the Wrangler possess that make it capable like no other vehicle include its legendary traction, maneuverability, articulation, ground clearance, and water fording. The Wrangler travels with ease over snow, rock, mud, and sand. It's been tested on every surface, in every weather, and on steep grades to make sure that it sustains that Trail Rated badge. With two strong and capable 4x4 systems, the Wrangler allows you to pick exactly how capable you need it to be: choose from Command-Trac or Rock-Trac 4x4 systems. Command-Trac evenly disperses power between all four wheels, while Rock-Trac offers best-in-class performance off-road by providing the Wrangler with a 4:1 low-gear ratio with an extra-low crawl speed and amped up torque. Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist aid you in controlling throttle, speed, braking, and accelerating on steep terrain. Approach, break-over, and departure angles also give the Wrangler a boost in capability, as well as giving the Wrangler ground clearance of up to 10 inches.

What is the powertrain of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler?

Beneath the hood of every 2017 model year Wrangler is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. Known for its smooth power delivery, the Pentastar generates 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Alongside this engine is standard four-wheel drive which features high- and low-range gearing. With Rubicon trim levels, you get the standard Rock-Trac 4x4 system with an extra-low crawl ratio, upgraded transfer case, and shorter gearing. There are two available transmission options for the 2017 Jeep Wrangler: a six-speed manual that offers Hill Start Assist or a five-speed automatic with Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. This powertrain is capable of hauling 2,000 pounds and up to 21 miles per gallon on the highway.

Which Jeep Wrangler is right for me?

There are three trim levels and two configurations of the Jeep Wrangler. First, the traditional Jeep Wrangler comes with two doors and four seats; if you're looking for a four-door, five-passenger SUV with all the same capability, check out the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which will be reviewed separately. The three trim levels of Wrangler are all very distinct, so it should be easy to pick your perfect match! The base-model is the Sport, which is designed for people who want the most capability with the lowest price tag. The Sport offers all the essentials: foglights, skid plates, a tilt steering wheel, a sound system with eight speakers, cruise control, tow hooks, a full-size spare tire, and a full set of on/off-road tires. The Sahara trim level is next in the lineup, providing more comfort to buyers: keyless entry, power windows and locks, a security alarm, heated power mirrors, an auto-dimming mirror, automatic LED headlights, alloy wheels, LED foglights, more painted exterior body panels, hood insulation, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, air-conditioning, and satellite radio. For those who are adventurous down to the core, the Rubicon is the right choice, offering extra off-road features like an electronically disconnecting front sway bar, electronic front and rear locking differentials, special tires, a heavy-duty front axle, and rock rails.
