The Jeep Rubicon Legacy Jeep Gladiator 3.6 Rubicon 2022 by RL GNZLZ is licensed with CC BY-SA 2.0 DEED Jeep Rubicon models trace their roots back to the 1940s Willys Jeep developed for use by the U.S. military in World War II. The first two versions, the Willys Quad and MA, fell short of expectations. In 1941, Willys-Overland Motors produced an improved version of the Willys MB. It was light, fast, and highly maneuverable, making it an indispensable tool for the Allied troops and invaluable in off-road situations. The military used it for towing weapons and for transportation. The Willys MB marked the beginning of the current Jeep, an off-road machine capable of conquering the most difficult terrain. The Rubicon is a trim level most associated with the Jeep Wrangler. However, its popularity has grown so much that many consider it a separate model. The Rubicon first appeared as a Wrangler trim in 2003 and remains a part of the lineup today. It's also available in the Jeep Gladiator. Key Features and Technology Jeep Rubicon models are known for their off-road prowess. There are some outstanding features and technologies that make this trim level ideal for your adventures out on the trail. Trail-Rated Design Jeep Rubicon models are Trail-Rated vehicles that excel in off-road conditions, including rock crawling. The Trail-Rated badge is given to specific Jeep models tested and proven to perform well in five areas. Here's a quick look at these areas and how a Trail-Rated vehicle excels in each: Articulation: Drives through uneven surfaces with ease due to a suspension system that allows the wheels to conform to the terrain. Ground clearance: Goes over obstacles, such as rocks and logs, without damaging the underside. Maneuverability: Navigates the most challenging terrain with precision and control, thanks to its short wheelbase and agile steering. Traction: Handles various driving conditions with confidence and without losing control. Water fording: Traverses bodies of water safely due to its design, including sealed body openings and electrical connections, and a higher air intake. Four-Wheel-Drive Systems Jeep has several four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems that improve its vehicles' performance in various terrain and driving conditions. The Wrangler, which features the Rubicon, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392 trims, has two systems: Command-Trac and Rock-Trac. The Command-Trac system enables the vehicle to shift quickly between two-wheel drive and high-range 4WD. Once in 4WD lock, torque is distributed to the front and rear axles, providing maximum traction and control. In low-range 4WD, the driveshafts lock to provide the control and power needed to tow or tackle challenging landscapes. The Rock-Trac is unique to the Rubicon trims. It provides more torque and better vehicle control than the Command-Trac system. This is what makes the Jeep Rubicon the ultimate off-road vehicle. Axles and Suspension Rubicon models have heavy-duty axles, robust suspension systems, and impressive articulation that help maintain traction while navigating steep inclines and declines. The heavy-duty solid axles provide the strength and durability to withstand the intense pressure exerted on the wheels during challenging off-road conditions. The robust suspension system absorbs the impact of uneven ground, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. It also enables your vehicle to articulate effectively, helping each wheel maintain its grip on the ground even in rough territory. Locking Differentials Jeep Rubicon models have front and rear locking differentials. These ensure that power is evenly distributed to all four wheels, preventing slippage, improving stability, and maximizing traction when you're driving off-road. By engaging the locking differentials, you can navigate the Rubicon through deep mud, slippery slopes, and uneven ground with confidence and control. Locking differentials help your Rubicon climb vertically by maintaining traction on its wheels, supporting forward motion as it ascends. Without this, wheels not in contact with the ground may begin to spin. This may result in your vehicle losing momentum or getting stuck. Rock-Crawling Mode The Wrangler Rubicon uses the Rock-Trac 4WD system to rock crawl. Rock crawling is a specialized form of off-roading that involves traversing extremely challenging and rocky terrain at a controlled pace. Rock-Trac offers a low crawl ratio, providing you with precise control and enhanced low-speed torque. Specifically, the Wrangler Rubicon trims with a six-speed manual transmission can achieve an impressive crawl ratio of 73.1:1, enabling you to climb up rocks and other obstacles at 0.5 mph. Like the Command-Trac system, Rock-Trac also splits the torque between the front and rear axles evenly when your vehicle is in 4WD high range, providing maximum traction. Art of Rock Crawling Experienced off-road drivers employ a variety of techniques and strategies when tackling vertical rock walls in a Rubicon. Some of these include: Line selection: Identifying the best line up the rock wall that offers the most traction and stability. Tire placement: Placing tires as high up on a section of the rock wall as possible to allow them to dig in and prevent damage to the undercarriage. Throttle control: Maintaining a slow and steady throttle to minimize wheelspin. Safety and Precautions While Jeep Rubicon models are well equipped to handle rock crawling and other off-road challenges, safety should always be a top priority. It's crucial to use proper safety gear, including helmets, harnesses, and protective clothing, to minimize the risk of injury. A skilled spotter to guide and assist you can greatly enhance safety during these challenging maneuvers. It's also important to ensure that your vehicle is in optimal condition, with all systems thoroughly checked and maintained, to avoid any mechanical failures. Reach New Heights with Jeep Rubicon: Conquer Vertical Rock Walls with Confidence The Jeep Rubicon models offer unmatched capabilities for rock-climbing, with features such as a high ground clearance, locking differentials, solid axles, and an advanced 4WD system. Contact us or visit our Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to learn more about the Rubicon and schedule a test drive to experience its power and performance for yourself.

Conquer Every Terrain: Exploring the Dynamic Performance of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator at Chris Nikel CDJR Embark on a journey where power meets versatility as we uncover the performance marvel that is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (CJDR) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, we invite you to discover the incredible capabilities and groundbreaking features that make the Gladiator a force to be reckoned with on any terrain.

Engine Power and Options V-6 Dominance Dive into the heart of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator's performance with its powerful V-6 engine that delivers robust power for an exhilarating driving experience. No matter which trim level you choose, the Jeep Gladiator packs a 3.6-liter V-6 that generates a stout 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine creates a broad torque band with an emphasis on low-end torque, which is critical for off-roading and transporting heavy loads. It pairs with either a six-speed manual transmission that offers a class-leading crawl ratio of up to 84:1 or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission with a maximum crawl ratio of 77:1. Every Gladiator uses a four-wheel-drive (4WD) system to deliver excellent traction both on and off the road. Ample Power for Any Situation The V-6 power plant of the Gladiator is potent enough to meet the transportation needs of any driver. Whether driving around town or cruising on the highway, you'll have plenty of power at your disposal. This engine is also capable of handling strenuous driving tasks such as climbing steep mountain roads, towing or hauling heavy loads, and getting out of sticky off-road situations. Trail-Rated Off-Road Prowess Off-Road Mastery Similar to other Jeep vehicles, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator really shines where the pavement ends. All Gladiator models wear the Trail-Rated or Desert-Rated badge, which is only awarded to vehicles that have passed a series of rigorous off-road tests. Even the base Sport trim performs admirably well off the beaten path. It's equipped with off-road features such as standard 4WD, a two-speed transfer case, solid front and rear axles, traction control, four-wheel disc brakes, skid plates, tow hooks, and all-terrain tires. If you're planning to do hardcore off-roading, you'll be better off getting the Rubicon. This off-road specialist can go anywhere with upgrades such as a Rock-Trac part-time transfer case, an electronic front sway-bar disconnect, front- and rear-axle lockers, solid front and rear axles with a 4:10 axle ratio, steel rock rails, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. The Rubicon X kicks things up a notch by adding a full-time transfer case, front and rear steel bumpers, and an integrated off-road camera. There are also the Desert-Rated Mojave and Mojave X trims, which are specially built for high-speed desert runs. Advanced 4WD Systems One of the main reasons why Jeep vehicles are head and shoulders above their competitors in terms of off-road capability is because of their cutting-edge 4WD systems. The 2024 Jeep Gladiator offers a choice of four 4WD systems to cater to the needs and preferences of different drivers, including: Command-Trac part-time transfer case: This 4WD system is designed to improve traction in slippery and extreme weather conditions. It also does a decent job of climbing rocks, thanks to its low-range ratio of 2.72:1. Selec-Trac full-time transfer case: The Selec-Trac system offers greater flexibility and improved fuel economy. It uses two-wheel drive on paved roads to maximize gas mileage and automatically switches to 4WD when you need more traction to overcome rocks, mud, ice, and snow. Rock-Trac part-time transfer case: Rock-Trac is a heavy-duty system built for tackling the most challenging off-road obstacles. A 4:1 low-range ratio produces the torque needed to crawl over rocks and get out of deep ruts. Rock-Trac full-time transfer case: This system is similar to the Rock-Trac part-time 4WD system, but it operates in 4WD mode by default. In contrast, a vehicle with a part-time transfer case primarily uses two-wheel drive as long as conditions allow. Towing and Payload Capability Towing Dominance Besides being an outstanding off-roader, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is an exceptionally capable workhorse. When properly equipped, the Jeep pickup can tow up to 7,700 pounds, which is the best rating for a gasoline-fueled midsize truck. With this towing capacity, you can lug a wide array of trailers and outdoor recreational equipment, including jet skis, ATVs, dirt bikes, a boat, a horse trailer, or a travel trailer. Payload Versatility In addition, the Jeep Gladiator is the most capable 4WD cargo hauler in its class, delivering an incredible payload rating of 1,725 pounds. Whether you need to transport building materials, landscaping supplies, agricultural produce, or a few farm animals, you can count on this truck to get the job done. Innovative Technology Features Off-Road Pages To make off-roading easier and safer, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator comes with an innovative technology feature called the Off-Road Pages. This app provides real-time performance metrics to help you monitor your truck and surroundings during off-road adventures. One of the most useful pages is Pitch and Roll, which shows the current angle of your vehicle. Connectivity and Entertainment For the 2024 model year, every Jeep Gladiator receives a large 12.3-inch touch-screen display as standard equipment. This advanced display houses the award-winning Uconnect 5 interface and provides better visibility in open-air conditions. Furthermore, the Jeep truck offers a wide range of desirable tech features, including wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, Amazon Alexa, satellite radio, hands-free voice recognition, and the new-for-2024 Jeep Adventure Guides with Trails Offroad.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most popular full-size SUVs to ever hit the roads, and it's easy to see why with its versatility, power, and ability to tackle tough challenges with the least amount of effort. View our current models of new Jeeps in stock. The current model year of the Grand Cherokee is a carryover from 2023, which means there aren't a lot of changes to the model. However, you can expect to find a lot of variety in the trim levels that let you get into a Grand Cherokee with all the latest technology and performance features that make the SUV into a road warrior. Engine Options and Horsepower All trim levels apart from the 4xe come equipped with the same 3.6-liter V-6 engine that provides 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic for fuel economy and predictability when traversing over rough terrain. If you're looking for hybrid performance, the 4xe plug-in hybrid features a 2.0-liter V-4 with turbo. It accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and averages 56 MPGe with 26 miles of electric-only range. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe offers 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It's also paired with an eight-speed transmission. Driving Dynamics and Off-Road Capabilities The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed to deliver the type of driving performance you need for traveling on any type of roadway or terrain. That means the suspension delivers a smooth ride on pavement and absorbs the impact of potholes and bumps before it reaches the cabin. In contrast, when you're on dirt roads and other rough footing, you get the immediate feedback you need to overcome the difficulties underneath. Adaptive Suspension Jeep's Quadra-Trac and Quadra-Drive systems are available at all trim levels of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Each level is designed to deliver a specific type of suspension for control and capability under different driving conditions. Here's a look at the different four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems that you can find on the Grand Cherokee: Quadra-Trac I: The best system for most Jeep Grand Cherokee owners due to its ease of use and reliability during different types of weather and roadway conditions. The system consists of an Active On-Demand 4WD system with the Selec-Terrain Management system. Quadra-Trac II: This 4WD system has a two-speed low transfer case that uses technology to detect the moment a tire starts slipping. Once slippage is detected, the transfer case transfers all the available torque to the axle that has traction. It also has the 4WD Select-Terrain Traction Management system and Quadra-Lift Suspension system. Quadra-Trac SRT: This is only available on the SRT and Trackhawk trim levels, and it consists of a full-time 4WD system that delivers the best possible performance no matter what the road conditions may be. What makes the SRT stand out is the fact that it can handle the torque generated by the engines on both of these trim levels and features a split torque system and suspension damping. Quadra-Drive II: Featuring a rear electronic limited-slip differential and full-time 4WD, the Quadra-Drive II is always active. It's more than capable of dealing with random weather conditions and is designed to send maximum torque to a rear wheel that's slipping. If you're looking into getting your first Jeep Grand Cherokee and plan for the occasional off-road adventure, the Quadra-Trac I system makes the most sense for your needs. In contrast, if you want to get the most out of your Grand Cherokee's 4WD capabilities, the Quadra-Trac SRT is the best choice due to its aggressive suspension and differential. Off-Road Prowess The original Jeep Grand Cherokees were designed for off-roading and the ability to easily handle different types of terrain and water obstacles. This legacy continues with the 2024 model year, but the advances in the drivetrain, suspension systems, and high-touch interior features make it easier to enjoy the 4WD capabilities than ever before. The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee keeps delivering on its promise with its available suspension packages that'll take you places you never thought possible. Innovative Performance Technology The Grand Cherokee gets the latest touches in performance technology for the 2024 model year, helping it perform to the best of its capabilities no matter where you're going. The Quadra-Lift air suspension gives the SUV up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance and 24 inches of clearance for water fording. It adjusts itself automatically to respond appropriately to road conditions and has five height settings. Meanwhile, the Selec-Terrain traction management system lets you select from on- or off-road conditions as well as fine-tune the modes to Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand. All engines are paired with the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. The wide range of gear selection makes it easy to keep the engine in the rpm range that's needed in the moment. You can power your way through loose dirt in the lower rpms or accelerate quickly to pass other cars on the road. Driving Experience and Comfort The interior of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues the badge's reputation for luxury no matter the trim level. Combining the high-touch interior with your choice of suspension and drivetrain means you get an SUV that fits your unique needs and desires for an off-roading vehicle that can take a lot and ask for more.

Winter is coming, but that doesn't mean your adventures have to end. Whether you're planning to tackle snow-covered trails, venture into the backcountry, or simply navigate frosty the city streets of Oklahoma, being prepared for a winter adventure is essential. Luckily, Jeep has an abundance of winter accessories to keep you safe and warm during the coming months. In this article, we explore the must-have gear so you can be ready for whatever the season throws your way. Contact Us Today! Call Us Today! Snow Tires and Tire Chains Protect your Jeep from getting stuck with the following gear. Snow Tire Options With their thicker, studded treads, snow tires give your Jeep extra traction on icy, snowy, and slushy roads. This extra grip improves your Jeep's handling, giving you more predictable steering and reliable braking when stopping and accelerating. Using snow tires during the winter helps to extend the life of your regular all-season tires. We recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2, known for its exceptional ice and snow performance, or the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac snow tire with its zigzag tread for extra-firm traction. Tire Chains Tire chains, also known as snow chains, provide improved traction and control in snowy or icy terrain. As your tires spin, the chains grip the surface and prevent your tires from slipping. Like snow tires, this enhanced grip helps with smoother acceleration and braking on wet or snowed-in roads. They're also great for navigating steep inclines so you can ascend and descend safely. Heated Seats and Steering Wheel Covers person driving vehicle during daytime by Morgan Rovang is licensed with Unsplash License Keep your cabin warm with the following gear. Heated Seat Covers Heated seat covers are fantastic for keeping you and your passengers warm during cold winter drives. They provide much-needed relief from muscle tension and discomfort. Plus, these covers are energy efficient, so you can enjoy the warmth without draining your battery. Steering Wheel Covers Steering wheel covers, particularly those with built-in heating elements, are a handy way to warm your hands when it's cold. You can personalize the heat settings to suit you, and they work instantly, warming you up in no time. The heat can help relieve stiffness and discomfort in your hands and fingers during long drives so you can stay focused on the road. All-Weather Floor Mats and Cargo Liners Protect your Jeep's interior from harsh winter conditions with the following items. Floor Mats All-weather floor mats protect your Jeep's interior from snow, slush, mud, and other debris that can accumulate during cold-weather adventures. Their raised edges and deep grooves are handy for trapping moisture and debris. This prevents the mess from spreading throughout the cabin and damaging your carpets. Cargo Liners Cargo liners shield your trunk from damage and are easy to clean. Equipped with raised edges, they trap and contain sand, rain, snow, and mud. They're also handy for keeping your gear and equipment organized so they don't shift or slide while on the move. Snow Brushes and Ice Scrapers Here are the benefits of investing in snow brushes and ice scrapers. Snow Brushes Snow brushes are great for clearing snow and other debris from your Jeep to improve your visibility. They typically feature a telescoping handle, helping with hard-to-reach areas such as the roof and windshield. You can also find dual-ended designs with a snow brush on one end and an ice scraper on the other. Some may even include built-in snow shovels. Ice Scrapers Ice scrapers are indispensable tools during the winter months. They're ideal for tackling frost and ice that build up on windows and mirrors. This helps to clear your view so you can spot potential hazards and navigate traffic with ease. Winches and Recovery Gear Here are the advantages of investing in winches and recovery gear for your Jeep. Winches Winches offer a lifeline if your Jeep gets stuck while exploring off-road. They provide a powerful, controlled pulling force so you can free your Jeep from mud, snow, or any other predicament. They're usually available in an adjustable length up to 100 feet. Recovery Gear Having the right recovery gear can make the difference between a smooth adventure and getting stuck. Your recovery gear should include essential items such as tow straps and shackles. These items provide a means to pull your Jeep out of challenging situations, whether it's buried in snow or bogged down in mud. Emergency Kits and Blankets Here's why you should consider emergency kits and blankets for winter driving. Emergency Kits While it's important to travel with an emergency kit all year round, it's especially important in the winter. These kits include first aid supplies, flashlights, thermal blankets, food, water, and other items that can be a lifesaver during an emergency. Flashlights are handy for visibility during dark winter nights and for signaling for help if you break down. Winter Blankets Storing warm blankets in your Jeep is handy if you ever find yourself stranded. Unlike regular blankets, winter blankets trap and retain body heat efficiently. They can prevent hypothermia even in freezing temperatures. Soft Tops and Hard Tops Discover the difference between soft and hard tops and when to swap them. Soft Tops Soft top covers, often found on Jeep Wranglers and other models, are versatile fabric tops that you can fold down or remove. While they're excellent for driving with the roof down on sunny days, hard tops are better suited for the colder months. Fortunately, you can swap out your soft cover for a hard top for solid protection from the winter elements. Hard Tops Hard tops provide a solid barrier from wind, snow, rain, and ice. They offer much better insulation than soft tops. This helps keep the cabin warmer and prevents heat from escaping, which is ideal for cold winter days. Custom Jeep Covers A customized cover protects your Jeep from the snow, ice, or debris that builds up during the colder months. This is especially helpful if you store your Jeep outside during the winter. They're made of durable, weather-resistant fabric that fits your specific model for a snug fit. Test-Drive a Jeep Today From extra traction to keeping you warm, winter accessories make driving your Jeep more comfortable. Not only do they protect your vehicle from the elements, they also enhance your Jeep's capabilities so you're ready for any winter challenge. Looking to fit out your Jeep?

This engine is available on select models of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. Most Jeep Wranglers have a part-time four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing for excellent off-road capabilities; however, you can opt for a full-time four-wheel-drive system for ultimate performance. Additional features include a leading link front suspension, trailing arm rear suspension, recirculating ball steering, and electro-hydraulic power assist on the steering activation. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes offer the braking power needed to stop on a dime. The electronic stability control with anti-roll and predictive brake assist helps keep you safer on and off the trail. Trailer sway control and automatic trailer brake integration make towing easier than ever with your 2024 Wrangler. 2024 Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity The 2024 Jeep Wrangler offers a mechanical advantage that bolts into the rear of the Rubicon trims. You get an upgraded Dana 44 heavy-duty (HD) full-float rear axle, commonly found in commercial trucks. It allows more structural rigidity, increased towing capacity, and a simplified process of replacing the axle or wheel shaft if you get in trouble on the trail. The full-float axle wheel design splits torque and rotational force duties to the rear wheels, transferring the torque to the tires and increasing capabilities. While the two-door models of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler offer a 2,000-pound towing capacity, models featuring a semi-float Dana 44 can tackle 3,500 pounds. The Rubicon extends that to a whopping 5,000 pounds using the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or the V-6 and the full-float axle. Towing Packages Jeep offers several towing packages for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler, adding features such as a forward-facing camera to help you watch the trail when off-road riding, HD cooling systems, and reinforced suspension components. Packages include: Trailer Tow and HD Electrical Group: This package adds a Class III hitch and seven-pin wiring harness, an upgraded alternator, and auxiliary switches. Xtreme 35-Inch Tire Package: Adds 35-inch tires on beadlock-capable wheels, fender extensions, 4.56:1 low-range gearing, a 1.5-inch suspension lift, and a reinforced hinge gate for the heavier spare tire. What Can You Haul With the 2024 Jeep Wrangler? Depending on the trim level and engine, here are a few stats for recreational vehicles, toys, and work-related needs you can tow with the 2024 Jeep Wrangler: ATV hauler trailer: The average weight of an ATV hauler is 600 to 1,500 pounds, with the additional weight of an average ATV at 700 pounds. The Wrangler can help you get your ATV to your off-road destination. Teardrop or lightweight camper: These campers typically weigh between 1,200 and 2,000 pounds, letting any Wrangler tackle the job. Utility and small camper: With a weight of 1,000 to 3,000 pounds, you may not be able to haul much with a two-door model, but you should be fine with models featuring the semi-float axle. Fishing boat: Depending on the size, boats can vary from 900 to 6,000 pounds, so you'll want to double-check your boat weight and the Wrangler you intend to pull it with before heading out to the lake. Toy hauler: A motorcycle trailer averages 1,300 to 3,500 pounds, while a personal watercraft trailer can be 800 to 3,000 pounds. Travel trailer: The average weight of a travel trailer is 1,900 to 4,500 pounds, so your new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon should easily handle that. Whether you're looking to get off the beaten path for a weekend adventure, take the boat to the lake, or the camper up north on a family vacation, your 2024 Jeep Wrangler is ready to help you. Be sure to check your maximum towing capacity based on the trim level and engine before connecting the trailer. While the Wrangler is better known for its off-roading prowess, it's nice to know you can use it to bring additional recreational toys on your adventures.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a centerpiece in the Jeep lineup, and the 2024 model is the newest version. To help you decide between the 2023 and 2024 models, we compared them to highlight any differences so our customers in the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, area can make an informed choice. We found that there was one change — the addition of 18-inch polished aluminum wheels for the Limited trim. With that in mind, let's see what this model has to offer. Size and Seating Capacity The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is classically designed with two rows that can seat up to five people. Looking at the dimensions, this SUV is 193.5 inches long, 77.5 inches wide, and 70.8 inches high, with a wheelbase of 116.7 inches. There's plenty of room inside, with the maximum interior cargo volume at 70.8 cubic feet. As far as passenger volume is concerned, that's an impressive 145 cubic feet. The extended Jeep Grand Cherokee L has three rows and can seat seven people. The L is 204.9 inches long, 77.9 inches wide, and 71.5 inches high, with a wheelbase of 121.7 inches. The maximum interior cargo volume naturally jumps up to 84.6 cubic feet, and the passenger volume increases to 152 cubic feet. Performance and Engine Options The Jeep Grand Cherokee is outfitted with an all-aluminum 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that produces 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. This compact engine has won the Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems seven times. It's built with a 60-degree angle between its cylinder banks to achieve ultimate comfort and handling while driving. It's paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission that can adjust its shift on a dime to accommodate the driver's needs. This impressive powertrain has a maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds and a class-leading range of an estimated 500 miles. The L adds a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine as an option. It's mated to the same transmission as the V-6, but this beast makes 357 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. It has a maximum towing capacity of an astonishing 7,200 pounds. Its estimated range is 391 miles. Off-Road Capability The Grand Cherokee is stacked with off-road features and capabilities that allow you to tackle any terrain. The Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system recognizes whether this SUV is off-road or moving at highway speeds and adjusts the height accordingly, raising for off-road to traverse obstacles and lowering for smooth surfaces. This model also has two four-wheel-drive systems: Quadra-Trac I and Quadra-Trac II. These Quadra-Trac systems are impressive. In fact, the Grand Cherokee has the Trail Rated badge. This means it has amazing capability in five off-road segments: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. Interior and Features The interior is as luxurious, tech-forward, and comfortable as ever. The premium surface options, such as Palermo leather seats, enhance relaxation, especially when coupled with a 12-way power-adjustable driver seat equipped with a back massager. The rear passengers can enjoy the same heated and ventilated seats as the front passengers. Open the dual-pane panoramic sunroof to feel the wind in your hair. As for tech, you'll love the Uconnect 5 navigation system with a 10.1-inch touch-screen display that comes with a trial 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to your device with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay or enjoy HD Radio. And don't worry, you can keep those devices charged with USB ports located throughout the vehicle or with the available wireless charging pad. Set the mood with ambient lighting that has five color options, then turn up the music with a 19-speaker high-performance McIntosh audio system. Trim Levels and Customization The Jeep Grand Cherokee has endless options that you can pick and choose from thanks to its wide range of trims. They are all available in the L edition. The trims with a choice of two-wheel or four-wheel drive are the Laredo, Laredo X, Altitude, Altitude X, and Limited. The four-wheel-drive trims are the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. Though this SUV has plenty of standard options across all trims, with each upgrade in trim comes upgrades in features. Plus, some features are available for you to add on, and there are robust packages that focus on specific areas, such as appearance, off-road performance, trailering, and tech. Even further, there are tiered tech packages available depending on your trim and its standard features. Pricing and Value We know the Jeep brand is equal parts premium and reliable, so the model value is right on track with its offerings as related to price. Here are the base MSRPs for each: Laredo 4x2: $40,130; L: $42,130. Laredo X 4x2: $40,880; L: $42,630. Altitude 4x2: $44,140; L: $46,140. Altitude X 4x4: $47,235; L: $49,235. Limited 4x2: $48,825; L: $50,825. Overland 4x4: $60,790; L: $62,790. Summit 4x4: $65,055; L: $67,055. Summit Reserve 4x4: $69,535; L: $70,940. Safety and Driver Assistance Features This SUV has over 110 safety and security features that are standard and available. Some advanced offerings include Full-Speed Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, blind-spot monitoring, Drowsy Driver Detection, Active Driving Assist, Active Lane Management, and a Night Vision camera system with pedestrian and animal detection. The camera systems have optional washers for a consistently clear view. Plenty of parking aids abound as well, including Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist and ParkSense Rear Park Assist sensors. The head-up display helps keep your focus on the road ahead, and traffic sign recognition technology ensures you're aware of speed limits, obstacles, and warnings around you. You'll have extra peace of mind thanks to Rear-Seat Object Alert and Side Distance Warning.

Jeep has long been synonymous with off-road capability. However, even the most adventurous Jeep owner spends more time on the asphalt than rambling through trails. And let's face it, driving on the streets presents more accident risk. So you'll want a vehicle that scores well if the unthinkable happens. Fortunately, the Jeep lineup gets good reviews regarding crash tests. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! Contact Us Today! Call Us Today! Crash Testing Organizations Two prominent organizations perform crash testing on vehicles: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These organizations have a tremendous responsibility to test every new car. However, you might not always find results for the latest models due to the sheer volume of vehicles. For example, you might not see the 2023 Jeep Cherokee crash test results yet because they haven't been conducted. However, you can always look at earlier years to see how a specific model performed. Results typically follow the same pattern as long as the vehicle is part of the same generation. In some cases, scores increase as Jeep identifies problems and makes improvements midcycle. Crash Test Ratings Explained The NHTSA uses a five-star rating system. Five stars mean the vehicle performed exceptionally well on the test, while one star means it performed poorly or failed. The IIHS uses a two-pronged rating system to measure crashworthiness and mitigation. A vehicle's crashworthiness gauges how well it keeps its passengers safe in various crash scenarios. Crash mitigation considers vehicle systems designed to mitigate and avoid potential crashes. The IIHS uses a letter grade to rank performance. A car receives a "G" rating for good performance. This is the highest possible rating and means that the tested area performed exceptionally well. An "A" rating stands for acceptable. As the second-highest rating, you can rely on this tested portion of the vehicle to perform well. An "M" rating, meanwhile, stands for marginal and could mean one of two things. It might be that a tested component didn't perform well, or it could be that a particular part failed to work during a crash. In either case, the risk of damage and injury was elevated. Finally, a "P" or poor rating is the lowest possible score a car can receive. In almost all cases, the tested system failed to do its job well. In addition to the letter rating, the IIHS uses a points rating on systems. The scale ranges from one to six. One to two points earn a basic rating, which means the component or system works at the lowest acceptable level. A three-to-four-point advanced rating means that the system works well, and a five-to-six-point rating means that it works extremely well. The IIHS and NHTSA perform tests that simulate crash scenarios from different angles on the front, side, and roof. Testing also includes head and seat restraints, LATCH ease of use, and automated crash prevention systems. 2023 Jeep Cherokee The Jeep Cherokee received top scores in all crash-test categories from the IIHS. The only low grade the Cherokee received was an acceptable rating for its headlights. The NHTSA hasn't tested the 2023 models yet, though it awarded the 2022 Cherokee a four-star overall rating. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee The IIHS gave the Grand Cherokee good ratings on four tests. The lowest scores came on front crash testing. However, the Grand Cherokee's front crash mitigation systems received a superior rating, indicating that the technology is adept at helping to avoid front crashes. An overall five-star rating from the NHTSA speaks to the Grand Cherokee's crashworthiness. The Grand Cherokee received five stars in all categories except the rollover section, where it earned four stars. 2023 Jeep Renegade The Jeep Renegade received a good rating in all initial testing. However, the IIHS recently updated two tests in which the Renegade scored lower grades. Again, Jeep's front crash mitigation system received a superior rating. The Renegade's weakest area was its headlights, which achieved lower scores depending on the trim level. The NHTSA hasn't tested the 2023 Renegade yet but gave the 2022 model year a four-star overall rating. 2023 Jeep Compass The Jeep Compass earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick in 2022, and the 2023 model scored a good rating in every category except headlights, which ranged from good to marginal, depending on the trim. And the IIHS rated its front crash prevention systems superior, which speaks to this model's safety. The NHTSA hasn't released its test results for the 2023 model year yet. However, the 2022 Compass scored four stars in rollover and front crash testing and five stars in side crash testing for a four-star overall rating. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Jeep makes the Wrangler In 12 trims plus an all-electric model. In addition, the Wrangler comes in two- or four-door versions. As a result, scores vary depending on the Wrangler's configuration. The IIHS gave the Wrangler a good rating in all but one category: the front driver's side crash test. Once again, the superior front crash mitigation systems helped. The NHTSA has only tested the front and rollover categories to date. However, it awarded four and three stars to the Wrangler for these tests, respectively. 2023 Jeep Gladiator The IIHS has tested Jeep's pickup truck in three categories. The small overlap front test was marginal, while the moderate overlap front and roof strength tests scored good ratings. Superior ratings on the front crash prevention systems improved the Gladiator's scores. In NHTSA testing, the Gladiator scored four stars in front crash testing and three stars in rollover testing. Other categories haven't been rated to date. 2023 Jeep Wagoneer Neither the IIHS nor NHTSA has tested the Wagoneer, Jeep's newest edition to the lineup. However, as Jeep's full-size luxury SUV, it has many advantages we expect will rate well in testing, including some of the most advanced crash mitigation technology available.

Both the Ford Explorer and the Jeep Grand Cherokee are midsize SUVs vying for your attention. Their similarities are such that it may be difficult to choose which is best for you. They have similar specs, high ratings, and seem to fill the same niches. However, take a closer look and you'll spot some key differences. Here we'll go through them to establish where they differ and which edges in key areas. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine and Performance 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-in Hybrid For basic levels of performance, the 2023 Ford Explorer is a great asset with some excellent options, such as the 2.3-liter Ecoboost I-4, which offers you a whopping 300 horsepower, or the 3.3-liter V-6 hybrid, which offers 318 horsepower. If you really want to go for the most powerful one available, then consider the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6, which has an excellent 400 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive in most trims. When compared to the veritable stable of horsepower that is the Explorer, the Cherokee doesn't do badly. Its options include a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 293 horsepower and a 5.7 Hemi V-8 with 357 horsepower. Its plug-in hybrid options include the 4xe model, which can provide you with 375 horsepower. However, it's worth comparing these models for efficiency. Whereas the Explorer offers you 24 mpg combined, the Cherokee only offers 22. However, the plug-in Grand Cherokee can offer 56 mpg-equivalent if it's in electric mode and 23 mpg combined if it's in hybrid mode. In terms of towing, the Cherokee is the winner with a maximum capacity of 7,200 pounds compared with only 5,600 pounds for the Explorer. So if you're planning to do any hitching up, the Cherokee is the one to consider, although it's worth making sure you're not paying for extra power that you never actually need. Similarly, if you're planning to go off-roading, the Cherokee has a slight edge over the Explorer. Although you can get traction-enhancing all-wheel-drive systems on both models, the higher clearance offered by the Cherokee is an advantage. Jeep Grand Cherokee Interior Both vehicles are comfortable and have excellent leg and headroom, but in terms of overall capacity, the Explorer has the edge. It provides 152.7 cubic feet of passenger volume compared with 144.6 cubic feet for the two-row Cherokee and 152 cubic feet for the Cherokee L. The Explorer seats seven passengers, whereas only six fit in the Grand Cherokee and only five in the two-row version. It's also worth noting that this extra capacity makes the Explorer wider than the Cherokee, so it might be a little more difficult to maneuver, park, and squeeze in and out of tight spaces. This means that if you're looking for extra space and extra carrying capacity, the Explorer comes out on top. Even with cargo space, the Explorer is a larger vehicle. It offers a maximum of 87.8 cubic feet compared with 70.8 cubic feet for the Cherokee. However, it's always worth considering whether or not the extra capacity is something you need. You don't want to be carting around excess capacity that you're not going to use. In terms of infotainment and technology, the Cherokee gives you an 8.4-inch touch screen, but you can upgrade to a 10.1-inch model. In contrast, the Explorer offers an 8.0-inch touch screen, but you can again upgrade to 10.1 inches. Both offer the standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and voice activation is standard. Overall, the technology matches, but the Cherokee has a more stylish and comfortable interior. The Cherokee offers in-dash navigation that allows you to follow real-time traffic and weather updates, and there's an optional digital gauge cluster. For most models, a six-speaker stereo is the norm, but you can ramp it up to a nine-speaker Alpine setup, or even a 19-speaker McIntosh array that gives you amazing audio fidelity. For most trims, the Explorer only goes up to a 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen system, which hands the win to the Cherokee in this area. Highlights of the Cherokee include its parallel and perpendicular parking assist, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and lane departure warning with lane-keep assist. Full-speed collision warning with active braking together with advanced brake assist all help you keep safe. The Explorer has much of the same but with some good tweaks, such as blind-spot monitoring system and a rearview camera to give you a little more parking space. Jeep Grand Cherokee Pricing and Trims There are a staggering eleven trims on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, with prices ranging from an MSRP of $42,830 to $78,870. The Limited model might be the one to go for in this range, with leather upholstery, a power-operated liftgate, some stylish interior ambient lighting, and automatic high-beam headlights. If you choose the Lux Tech Group II package, you'll also get rain-sensing windshield wipers, ventilated front seats, and a power-adjustable steering column. There are too many options to list here, but the point is that you can't go wrong with a Cherokee because of the range of options available. The Explorer isn't far behind with eight separate trims, ranging from an MSRP of $38,355 right up to $56,965. However, the base models have the small single-turbo four-cylinder engine, and it may be worth investing in the twin turbocharged V-6 for a reasonable amount of power. You can also go for all-wheel drive, and if you're after off-roading capability, consider going for the Timberline. Overall, the Explorer might seem a more affordable option, but you probably get more exciting options by looking at the different trims of the Cherokee. The Explorer or the Jeep Grand Cherokee? At the end of the day, it's really for you to decide which of these fits your needs. For us, the Cherokee really wins out in most of the areas. It has better overall performance,  more flexibility in its trims, and greater versatility. If you'd like to see more or check out any recent models, feel free to drop us a line at Chris Nikel of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and we'll be only too happy to help.

But one thing that's worth noting is that Jeep is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Grand Cherokee this year. For this occasion, Jeep has come up with a very special 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary Edition that includes commemorative badging on its exterior. Whether you're a long-time Grand Cherokee fanatic or a first-time Grand Cherokee buyer, you can help celebrate a momentous occasion with this particular model. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Engine 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-in Hybrid Image By Jeep One big change that Jeep made when putting together plans for the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee was doing away with the 5.7-liter V-8 engine that has been available in recent years. But fortunately for you, this has allowed them to focus more on the plug-in-hybrid powertrain that is available in the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. This powertrain includes both a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine as well as an electric traction motor that are capable of working together to produce up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The motor is powered by a 14.0 kWh battery pack. Thanks to this setup, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe can travel up to 26 miles when its battery is fully charged. It also gets better fuel economy than any other 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee model once it switches over to using gas. It can get up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and up to 24 miles per gallon on the highway. Plus, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is the quickest Grand Cherokee of the bunch compared to all the other available trims. It can go from zero to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Interior The inside of the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is truly a thing of beauty. From the 12-way adjustable driver's and passenger's front seats and the heated steering wheel to the spacious second row of seating and all of the thoughtfully designed wood trim throughout it, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe both looks and feels like the luxury SUV that it is. It also provides almost 40 cubic feet of cargo space, which should give you plenty of room if you're planning to take the latest Grand Cherokee out on a road trip anytime soon. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Technology The sheer number of screens that Jeep has managed to shoehorn into the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is impressive to say the least. There is a 10.1-inch touch screen that comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. You'll also be able to get access to a digital gauge cluster, a 10.0-inch head-up display, and even a 10.3-inch display positioned in the dashboard directly in front of the passenger's seat. The technology doesn't stop there, either. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe will also come equipped with a 10-speaker Alpine stereo system and an optional in-dash navigation system capable of delivering real-time traffic reports in addition to updates on the weather. It'll put just about everything that you need from a tech standpoint right at your fingertips. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Safety Features Just like many other automakers, Jeep has realized that most consumers want to purchase vehicles that come with as many standard safety features as possible. It has responded by jam-packing the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe with a suite of safety features that you'll be more than happy to have. It'll come standard with everything from automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection to lane departure warning and lane-keep assist to adaptive cruise control. There are also a few safety features that'll be found specifically in the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary Edition. These features will include Jeep's ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist as well as a 360-degree surround-view camera that will make it easy to get in and out of even the tightest spaces. 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Price You'll be able to choose from several different trims when you purchase the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. They'll each have slightly different price tags on them. The standard 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe will start at an MSRP of $60,360, while the 30th Anniversary Edition 4xe will start at $65,060. The Trailhawk 4xe, meanwhile, will start at $65,755, while the Overland 4xe will start at $68,375. There is also a top-of-the-line Summit 4xe that starts at $73,090 and a Summit Reserve 4xe that starts at $77,570. Test-Drive the New 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-In Hybrid in Broken Arrow, OK Jeep will be releasing its lineup of all-electric SUVs soon enough.

The Wrangler is one of the most iconic and instantly-recognizable vehicles in history, and for good reason. It's rugged, functional, and infused with the spirit of adventure.

View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! 2023 Jeep Wrangler Trims and Pricing 2023 Jeep Wrangler Image By Jeep Like with many vehicles this year, the prices for the Jeep Wrangler are going up in 2023. Some of the trims for the Wrangler include the Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sport Altitude, Sahara, Rubicon, Sahara Altitude, High Altitude, and Rubicon 392. The Sport trim is the entry-level trim for the Wrangler, and it had a starting MSRP in 2022 of $29,995. For 2023, the Sport's starting MSRP is $31,195. Luckily for Wrangler lovers, this isn't as steep a price raise as some other vehicles have seen from 2022 to 2023. The Sahara is the mid-tiered trim for the Wrangler, and it went from a starting MSRP of $42,545 in 2022 to a new starting MSRP of $45,625 in 2023. The highest trim for the Wrangler is the Rubicon 392, which went from $79,990 to $82,495. These price raises are pretty consistent across trims and reflect the overall changes in the economy and inflation. Freedom Edition The Freedom Edition is a new feature for the Wrangler in 2023, allowing drivers to show their pride and honor while supporting military charities. The Freedom Edition has a starting MSRP of $37,690 and has a suite of features that pay tribute to those who serve in the United States Armed Forces. You can find Freedom Decals on the front fender that show a black and white American flag above the Jeep Wrangler print. A unique Oscar Mike badge on the rear of the Wrangler is also a nod to the troops, as "Oscar Mike" is a term that military members can use to mean "on the move." The Freedom Edition comes with LED headlamps and fog lighting to help you illuminate the road no matter the conditions and rugged black aluminum wheels to tackle every terrain. The interior is fitted with black leather-trimmed seats that also feature the Oscar Mike symbol. There are two bucket seats in the front that are fully adjustable. The Freedom Edition comes in colors including Black Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Earl Clear Coat, Firecracker Red Clear Coat, High Velocity Clear Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl Coat, Sarge Green Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, and Limited Edition Reign. EcoDiesel Engine Jeep announced this year that it would be phasing out diesel engines for the Wrangler line. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel Engine for the Wrangler was one of the most powerful options you could choose, with up to 260 horsepower, 442 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs. Though Jeep has decided to end the production of diesel-powered Wranglers, the company decided to commemorate the diesel engines with a final special edition to celebrate the power and capability. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon FarOut special edition model is the final in the EcoDiesel production. It features elements throughout the design that pay tribute to the line, including a Diesel 3.0-liter hood design, special wheels, and diesel badges. The EcoDiesel engine was only available in the Wrangler from 2020 to now, but many Wrangler fans are sad to see it go. If you want a diesel-powered Wrangler, now is the time to grab one before they're gone. With the EcoDiesel engine out of the lineup, that leaves just four engines for the Wrangler going forward. This includes the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, which offers up to 285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The Pentastar engine with an automatic transmission gets a combined 24 miles per gallon. There's also the 2.0-liter Turbo engine, which offers up to 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, with the same towing capacity and fuel economy rating as the Pentastar. The 6.4 HEMI V-8 engine is a powerful option for the Wrangler, ramping it up to 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. What you gain in power, you lose in fuel economy, bringing the miles per gallon down to 17 combined. Finally, there's the newest engine in the lineup, the PHEV 2.0-liter I-4 DOHC Turbo engine, which is the hybrid option for the Jeep Wrangler. This engine offers up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers much higher torque than the V-6 and Turbo engines and also excels in fuel economy by offering up to 49 miles per gallon combined. It's a great choice for the Wrangler lover who wants to be more friendly to the environment and avoid paying so much at the pump. 2023 Jeep Wrangler New Colors This year, Jeep announced two new colors for the Wrangler, including Earl and Reign. Earl is a soft blue-gray color that would be perfect for anybody who wanted a more low-key Wrangler. Reign, on the other hand, takes the Wrangler in the opposite direction. It's a bright purple that's sure to draw attention as you drive past. You can get your 2023 Jeep Wrangler in colors including Black Clear Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear-Coat, Earl Clear-Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat, Firecracker Red Clear-Coat, Punk'n Metallic Clear-Coat, High Velocity Clear-Coat, Sarge Green Clear-Coat, and Bright White Clear-Coat. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Wheels The Rubicon is a popular trim for the Wrangler because it blends functionality and affordability. The Rubicon trim is also capable of withstanding the most brutal beating from conditions like snow, sleet, wind, rain, and sand. This year, Jeep made some minor changes to the wheel design options for the Rubicon, adding a red Willys logo to the center of the wheel. We hope this guide has helped you learn about all the changes Jeep has made to the 2023 Jeep Wrangler.

A concept vehicle is a unique, limited-edition vehicle that manufacturers can create to show off new ideas for the future of their vehicle design. These rides are so unique, in fact, that they're produced in a one-off way to demonstrate new materials, bodywork concepts, or technology that fans may see in the future. In other words, you're unlikely to ever drive a concept vehicle, but you might see one at your next auto show. Just because a concept vehicle may not ever hit mass production doesn't mean that you should write it off. By learning more about your favorite manufacturers' concepts, you can get a better idea of what you might see on the road in the future. What are they prioritizing? Which ideas do you see popping up again and again? When it comes to vehicle design, innovation always starts somewhere. For Jeep, it's with the Magneto EV. What's the Wrangler Magneto EV Concept? Jeep Wrangler Magneto EV Concept The Jeep Magneto EV Concept is an all-electric take on the brand's popular Wrangler vehicle. Released at the 56th Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari, this concept machine is actually a new and improved version of the previous Magneto concept from 2021. While the previous version of this electric off-roader was impressive, with power enough to rival the gas engine Wrangler's performance and ability, the 2.0 is even more exciting. If you're ready to see the potential of electric like you've never seen before, you'll love this vehicle. Performance Specifications Jeep's Magneto 2.0 comes with some incredible power. The vehicle features an 800-volt battery, which allows this SUV to produce 625 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque. With the ride's advanced power system, it can hold this peak amperage for up to 10 seconds. Thanks to this system, the new Magneto can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in two seconds. And to top it all off, the Magneto manages to do all of this while maintaining the Wrangler's fun-to-drive six-speed manual gearbox. Traditionally paired with your typical gas engine, this manual transmission is a big step for EV kind. While this feature may or may not make it all the way to the drivable version of this ride, it's interesting to see that this is what Jeep is thinking about for the future. Fun, drivable and sustainable, the future of electric cars seems to be bright. A Fresh Look To manage all this power, Jeep had to build a monster of a machine. And that's just what they did. To start, Jeep added 12 inches to the ride's wheelbase, helping it look something like LJ Wranglers of the past. The upgrade also boosts the vehicle's ability to maneuver around large obstacles, which is essential for off-road adventures. You can also gaze in wonder at the dynamic new front and rear axles, 20-inch wheels, and 40-inch tires. Not to mention the custom driveshaft and off-road suspension.  All of this is topped off with an eye-catching coat of surf-blue paint and the classic Jeep no-door, no-roof style. Whether you see this ride at the show or on the road, you know you're looking at something special. Range Rating The newly imagined Magneto concept comes with an impressive 124-miles range on its battery. While this may not be as jaw-dropping as the ride's horsepower rating, it's a good sign that Jeep is able to put the two together for a vehicle that can conquer any terrain while maintaining its charge. Although this Magneto isn't intended for the everyday driver (yet), look for Jeep to capitalize on current electric battery advancements to keep you on the road for longer. Unique Features Besides its power, drive, and range, the Wrangler Magneto has a few other features for you to get excited about. Surprisingly, with all its battery packs and powerful components, the Magneto is comfortable and stylish, too, with improved rear passenger legroom and that striking blue from its exterior making its way inside. There's also an electronically controlled traction-management system and efficient power-regeneration system to make every aspect of this vehicle's performance as impressive as possible. Why Should You Get Excited About This New Ride? The Wrangler Magneto EV offers a glimpse into the future, helping you discover the types of vehicles that may be driving alongside you when you're cruising down the highway years from now. If you like to veer off the path when you're behind the wheel, then the Magneto shows you what can happen when an electric motor and a manual transmission come together and overcome any obstacles in the vehicle's path. Once the concept becomes a reality, your journey up a steep hill or through uneven terrain will never feel more seamless. You can also rely on the Jeep's power to always go that extra mile. The Magneto is a reminder to brace yourself for how advancements in technology will impact the way you drive, whether you're embarking on a road trip or completing your morning commute. While the components of the Wrangler Magneto EV are still concepts, there are plenty of Jeep features you can experience today.
