2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Review Wilsonville OR
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” While Shakespeare does make a good point, we’d argue there’s actually a lot in a name.
Take the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, for example. Being unlimited means being free and being boundless. It’s feeling like anything is achievable. And that, fine folks of Wilsonville, Woodburn, and Portland, Oregon, is exactly what driving the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited feels like.
When was the last time you felt this way? Felt the thrill of the open road and the wind in your hair? Let this Jeep Wrangler Unlimited review by Dick’s CJDR of Wilsonville (CDJR) take you back there.
To Unpathed Waters, Undreamed Shores: Off-Roading in the Wrangler Unlimited
Where will you go in your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited? Perhaps to the beaches of the Oregon Coast? Maybe to the snowy peaks of Mount Hood? No matter how you choose to bond with nature, you can count on the Wrangler Unlimited to transport you there.
You see, the 2022 Wrangler Unlimited was built for the backroads, and it even wears a Trail Rated® badge to prove it. This badge was hard-fought, earned through a series of tests to determine the Wrangler’s abilities to withstand inclement weather, tough terrain, and harsh conditions.
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited continues Jeep’s 80-year history of open-air freedom with three different rooftop options to choose from.
- Sunrider® soft top—Easy-to-lower standard soft top. This option comes in Zipperless, Premium Black, and Premium Tan.
- Freedom Top® hardtop—A 3-piece hardtop available in black and body color.
- Sky One-Touch® Power Top—An easy-to-use, electronically controlled soft top.
All three roof types can be removed so you can feel the Oregon air in your hair. With removable doors, available half doors, and a fold-down windshield, the Wrangler Unlimited feels like it has unlimited ways to experience open-air freedom.
Go Over the River With Water Fording
Thanks to a high air intake, moisture-resistant body openings, and sealed electrical connections, the Wrangler crosses streams, puddles, and creeks like a pro.
Climb Every Mountain With Articulation
The Wrangler Unlimited was designed with excellent suspension and axle articulation to help keep your wheels on solid ground, thus providing maximum traction over obstacles.
Ride (Safely) Like the Wind
Those trails can generate quite a bit of dust and turbulence. Thankfully, your Wrangler can be equipped with an available Corning® Gorilla® Glass windshield to help shield out the elements.
The Jeep Wrangler offers over 75 standard and available safety and security features, so you can feel confident on every twist and turn you encounter. This includes the following features:
- Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Automatic High-Beam Headlamps
Also available is the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System, which uses sensors to alert you of obstacles as you back up. When used with the available ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera, tight spots will be a thing of the past.
To Thine Own Self Be True: Customizing Your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
There’s a special bond shared between Jeep owners. One that symbolizes a sense of togetherness, a sense of comradery, of shared passions. However, amongst this connection also lies a world of individuality, and it’s all thanks to Jeep’s customization capabilities.
The Jeep Wrangler is a 4-door version of the iconic SUV and is available in an endless combination of exterior colors, roof covers, interior upholstery, and much more. Take the Sunrider®, for example. Its soft top added to the front row of Wrangler hardtop vehicles, which easily opens to let occupants enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.
If you’re looking to make a bold statement, why not choose the striking hue of the Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat exterior paint? For a more subtle approach, Sarge Green is a wonderful option. As for the interior, you can’t go wrong with the sandy shades of Heritage Tan cloth seating.
Designed for optimal performance on- and off-road, the Wrangler shows it with your choice of four available engines.
- 2.0L Turbo Engine with Engine Stop/Start (ESS)—270 horsepower/295 lb-ft of torque
- 3.0L EcoDiesel Engine—260 horsepower/442 lb-ft of torque
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque—285 horsepower/260 lb-ft of torque
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with ESS—285 horsepower/260 lb-ft of torque
All four engines are capable of up to 3,500 pounds of towing capability when properly equipped, which is the perfect amount of power to bring a small trailer for storage or a couple of toys (like ATVs) along for the ride.
The off-road performance of the Wrangler Unlimited is enhanced with a choice of three 4×4 systems.
- Command-Trac® 4×4 system—Coming standard, delivers torque to all wheels when required for increased traction. Includes 2.72:1 low range for rock crawling and neutral for flat towing
- Selec-Trac® 4×4 system—Available on select models. Automatically switches from 2-wheel drive (2WD) to 4-wheel drive (4WD) when needed.
- Rock-Trac® 4×4 system—Found standard on the Wrangler Rubicon. Comes in standard part-time or is available full-time for automatic 2WD/4WD switching.
The Rock-Trac® 4×4 system also features a 4:1 low gear ratio, Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Front and Rear Differentials, and an Electronic Front Sway Bar Disconnect.
