Wrangler Jeep models offer utility, history to vehicle enthusiasts

Written by

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The iconic Jeep has pleased offroaders and outdoor enthusiasts for decades. Jeep began production in 1941 specifically for the military, introducing models for civilians in 1945. This makes the Jeep the oldest mass-production SUV.
If you’re looking for a vehicle with history and durability, you’ll find it in a Jeep, available at all Earnhardt Auto Centers dealerships including Earnhardt Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Gilbert.
The Jeep Wrangler model sets the bar for off-roading ability. With 10 Jeep Wrangler 2017 models offering different features, you’re sure to find one to fit your style and needs.
The Wrangler Rubicon was even named as “4×4 of the Decade” by 4 Wheeler Magazine, if you’d like to start with something tried and true. The Wrangler Rubicon Recon includes military-inspired Dana 44 front axle and heavy-duty differential covers.
Or check out the Wrangler Sahara, with its body-colored fenders, polished 18-inch wheels, and an available body-color roof to ride in style.
The Wrangler Chief sports vintage styling, with a nine-speaker sound system for a fun beach ride. If you’re more of an urbanite, the Wrangler Smoky Mountain offers stylish high-gloss black exterior accents and black interior to make it comfortable for the city or the open road.
The Sport S boasts a 3.6L V6 engine and premium features like a chrome and leather-wrapped shift knob and leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Jeep Wrangler Sport features the Trail Rated designation, indicating its ability to take on tough trails. Or the Wrangler Winter features additional offroading priority features like off-road rock rails.
If you want to combine history, utility and fun, try the 2017 Wrangler Willy — it’s inspired by the original Willys CJ, the father of recreational vehicles. The 2017 Wrangler Willys Wheeler combines classic styling with off-roading features like available half doors and a Command-Trac 4×4 system.
Whether you’re looking for history, style, off-roading ability, or all of the above, you’ll find it in a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Or check out the 2018 Jeep Wrangler models, which debuted in late November. When you’re ready for a sporty, stylish ride, test-drive a Jeep Wrangler today at Earnhardt Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Gilbert, or at any Earnhardt Auto Centers dealership!
