The History of the Jeep Wrangler
When the first Jeep Wrangler arrived on the scene in 1986, off-road enthusiasts were instantly smitten. By using the winning formula established with the CJ-7, they created an all-new model line that would never fail to impress.
In true Jeep fashion, they kept the open-body design, live axle and leaf spring combo, and small footprint of its predecessor. They improved on its handling, safety, and appearance, however, pushing this off-road SUV to the next level. As the Wrangler moved through the generations, the improvements continued, as did the wheelbase increases.
Now in its fourth generation, this SUV is bigger, more powerful, and even more attractive than ever before. It’s also much more modern with high-tech features, inside and out, helping improve your driving experience. Whether you stick to the streets or actually take your Jeep into the dirt, you’re sure to have a blast.
What the Sport Trim Brings to the Table
To help the Wrangler further appeal to the masses, Jeep kept adding on the trim levels, including limited-edition options. Through all that, they have always offered the budget-friendly, yet well-equipped,` Sport trim. For those in the know, this is the ideal trim when toeing the line between performance and affordability.
The two-door body style takes the Wrangler back down to the basics. It simply comes with a six-speed manual gearbox and the manual windows, mirrors, and door locks to match. As is tradition, the doors and roof are removable, allowing you to enjoy the full open body driving experience as you relax in its cloth seats.
If you go with the four-door body style, you not only get more doors to remove but air conditioning as well. The A/C is an option on the two-door model, though it will cost you a pretty penny.
You have many other optional add-ons to consider as well, like:
- 3-piece hardtop
- Tube steps
- Perforated leather seats
- Stainless door sill guards
- Anti-spin differential rear axle
The attractive black 17-inch steel wheels are standard on both body styles, as are either all-season or all-terrain tires. You also get Uconnect with the five-inch display, giving you entertainment and navigation support at the press of a button.
The Sport trim comes with the 3.6L V6 engine standard, though you can opt for the 2.0 four-cylinder at no extra charge. If you want the most fuel efficiency, then you’ll have to upgrade to the 3.0L V6 diesel instead.
The standard six-speed manual transmission gives you the most control over the power produced by these engines. But, you can upgrade to one of the two 8-speed automatics offered for this model if you wish.
