• Body Styles

  

  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 Wrangler’s 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 top—though 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, let’s 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 overall—a 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.

• Generations

  

  Four Generations to Choose From

  The Jeep Wrangler has been through numerous generations since it first hit the road, starting with the YJ back in 1987. Unless you are a collector, you probably will not go that far back with a used Wrangler, however, so you are better off focusing on the generations that have followed it. The Wrangler TJ launched for the 1997 model year, which is also pretty far back, but it is such an iconic version of this off-road SUV that a lot of people still look for it. This model introduced the round headlights from the earlier Jeep CJ, which has since become iconic, and it utilized a coil-spring suspension rather than leaf springs for enhanced handling.

  Following this, the Wrangler JK hit the road for the 2007 model year, and it introduced a number of new features worth considering when looking for a used Jeep. Prior to this generation, the Wrangler had exclusively been a two-door SUV; the JK introduced the Wrangler Unlimited model with four doors, which we still see today. The four-door version was an instant hit, so you will find a lot of them when looking at used Wranglers. Interior upgrades were numerous throughout this generation, creating an adventurous vehicle that is also quite comfortable inside.

  Jeep launched the Wrangler JL for the 2018 model year, which featured a full redesign with great features inside and out. Enhanced performance for the JL comes from numerous available engines plus an upgraded automatic transmission, creating a smoother driving experience on the road and on the trail. This generation also introduced some specialized options like the Rubicon 392, an enthusiast version of the Wrangler with a V8 engine for incredible performance and capabilities, as well as the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. Pay careful attention to the model year and generation of any used Wrangler you are interested in since a number of features and options can vary when moving from one generation to the next.

• Wrangler 4xe

  

  Hybrid Power

  For the 2021 model year, Jeep took a big risk and introduced something completely new to the market: the Wrangler 4xe, a PHEV designed to maintain the impressive off-road capabilities expected from this legendary model. The risk paid off, however, as the Wrangler 4xe has proven itself to be an impressive addition to Jeep’s lineup, blazing the way for a variety of other 4xe models. With the Wrangler 4xe, you get an SUV that is ready to go anywhere you want while providing you with exceptional power and fuel efficiency. And since this is a PHEV, it even has limited electric-only range, which lets you run quick errands or make short trips without ever touching the gas tank.

  This is the perfect option if you are interested in a used Wrangler and are curious about how well an electric vehicle could work with your lifestyle but do not want to go all-electric just yet. The Wrangler 4xe features a standard gas engine along with a battery-powered electric motor, so you get the best of both worlds. As the term “plug-in hybrid” suggests, however, you do need to be able to plug this vehicle in to fully charge it, which is why it works well as a tester for going all-electric. If that works for your situation, then a pre-owned Wrangler 4xe is a terrific choice that delivers remarkable performance, efficiency, and capability for you to enjoy.
