Wrangler's 4WD system is the legendary, easy to use, shift-on-the-fly
Command-TracTM.
To engage 4WD on Wrangler you just shift the transfer case lever from
2H to 4H at speeds up to 55 mph. And there's no need to stop to lock
hubs or slow down to engage and disengage 4WD High.
In addition, a stiff four-sided tubular frame,
solid front axle, underbody skid plates, and an optional heavy-duty
suspension ensures Wrangler's ability to tame the toughest terrain.
Wrangler's Fog Lamp and Tow Hook Group (two front, one rear) and its
Quadra-Coil® suspension with gas-charged shock absorbers turn
obstacles into mere annoyances. And the standard underbody skid plates
for the fuel tank and transfer case allow Wrangler to take on even
the rockiest trail without damage to its vital organs.

The original Willys MB was powered by the
Go Devil engine and was chosen by the U.S. Army for its superior power
and torque. Wrangler's two available Power Tech engines continue this
tradition with the power and torque you need both for highway and
the trail. And Wrangler's ride, both on-road and off, has never been
better thanks to its exclusive Quadra-Coil TM Suspension.
The 4.0L Power Tech I-6 engine, standard on
Sport and Sahara, is one of the most powerful engines in its class
with 190 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. It comes with a
standard five-speed manual or an optional three-speed automatic transmission.
Torque-heavy in the low and middle ranges (a necessity in severe off-road
trail conditions), the engine also offers good fuel economy. (16mpg
city/19mpg highway)
Wrangler's 2.5L Power Tech I-4 engine, standard
on SE, peaks at a more-than-respectable 120 horsepower and has 140
pound-feet of torque, and offers good fuel economy. (19mpg city/20mpg
highway). The incredible articulation of Wrangler's Quadra-Coil TM
suspension helps keep all four of its wheels on the ground in rocky
terrain. Front and rear solid axles combine with a rugged network
of coil springs and locating arms.
Front and rear stabilizer and track bars help
ensure excellent cornering, minimize body lean, and contribute to
outstanding ride and handling. To give you an edge in avoiding unexpected
obstacles, Wrangler's available four-wheel antilock brakes (ABS) work
in both 2WD and 4WD.
