Two-Door vs Four-Door
You have a few big decisions to make when looking at used Jeep Wrangler models and trying to decide which one is right for you. Jeep has offered a variety of engines on the Wrangler over the years, plus numerous trim levels, which are all important to consider when looking for the right one. One of the easiest and most important places to start, however, is with the body style you want since you have a couple of significant options here. You should also think about the roof that you would prefer since you will find a few different ones out there.
Throughout much of the Wranglerās existence, it has been available as either a two-door or four-door (also known as the "Unlimited") model, so it is important you decide which one would be best for you. As you might imagine, the four-door version is quite a bit longer overall and offers more room inside, though both versions of the Wrangler are two-row SUVs, so you get spacious seating inside for your passengers (four people in the two-door model, five in the four-door). No matter which model you choose, it will have removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a removable topāthough you can find soft-top and hard-top versions of the Wrangler.
Choosing the right body style ultimately comes down to what you are looking for. As an example, letās look at the JL generation Jeep Wrangler to see the differences. The two-door version has a 96.8-inch wheelbase and is about 166 inches long overall; by comparison, the four-door Wrangler has a 118.4-inch wheelbase and is just over 188 inches long overallāa difference of nearly two feet. Inside, you get more than 2.5 inches of extra legroom for your passengers in the back of the four-door model. Most dramatically, the four-door Wrangler has 31.7 cu.ft. of rear cargo space and 72.4 cu.ft. of total cargo volume, while the two-door model has 12.9 cu.ft. of rear space and 31.7 cu.ft. of total cargo room to utilize.
