Much like the vehicle itself, the engineers behind the 2017 Jeep Wrangler are blazing new trails. This iconic off-road vehicle is scheduled to undergo a major redesign for the forthcoming model year, and by all indicators it will be bigger, badder, and better than ever. If you’re a first-time Wrangler owner or a long-time devotee, this should be cause for excitement. Learn what kind of 2017 Jeep Wrangler changes to anticipate once it arrives at Dick’s CJDR of Wilsonville. Old and New Combined The new Wrangler is expected to retain the model’s serious off-road credentials while integrating modern materials and methods. The design incorporates new axles, new suspension geometry, and new exhaust parts, along with classic coil-suspended Dana axles on both ends. The Wrangler will also retain its boxy character but incorporate more aluminum into the body to lower the weight and improve fuel economy. Powertrain Overhaul Not much is yet known about the powertrain in the 2017 Jeep Wrangler, but a few intriguing details have leaked out. It’s likely to run on an eight-speed automatic transmission originally designed by Chrysler. And, depending on how much less it weighs, it may be available with a more efficient four-cylinder engine. Enthusiasts are also hoping that a diesel engine with lots of torque and solid gas mileage will enter the lineup. Pickup Potential A Jeep Wrangler pickup could finally become a reality for the 2017 model year. Test models have been spotted on the roads, and the design appears to be fully developed. It’s believed that the pickup will run on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out around 300 hp. It will also likely have large tires and a large bed, giving it serious work-truck capabilities. And, of course, it incorporates the classic Wrangler look that remains so popular. The 2017 Jeep Wrangler is Coming Soon The redesigned Wrangler is expected to arrive at dealerships late in 2016.

New Inventory Used Inventory Get Financing You already know that Jeep creates some of the most desirable SUVs on the road today, but what’s the difference between the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee? They’re both top of the range models in their own respective classes, and you’ll find that each exhibits the bold and daring style that helps define the Jeep brand. That said, there are clear and important differences that separate them that could help you discern which is the best for your driving needs. The Jeep Wrangler The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic off-road machine with a lineage going back over generations of adventure. While the new SUV class has started to focus more on more on producing vehicles that will never leave the city or highway, the Jeep Wrangler has remained a pure example of rugged backcountry capability. Just check out the following select features: Command-Trac ® NV241 4×4 System Rock-Trac ® 4×4 System for Best-in-class off-road performance Dana 44 Heavy-Duty Axle Tru-Lok ® Locking Differentials 10-Inch Ground Clearance, 42.2° approach angle, 25.8° breakover angle, and 32.3° departure angle. All in all, it’s no surprise to learn that the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon model was named “Best 4×4 Vehicle of the Decade” by Four Wheeler Magazine. The Jeep Cherokee The Jeep Cherokee isn’t quite as rough and tumble as the Jeep Wrangler, but it still beats almost every other SUV on the market through its own off-road features, including three available 4×4 systems. However, it’s probably a better pick if you want a vehicle that can perform as smoothly across the city streets as it can across the backcountry. With a greater array of engines than the Jeep Wrangler, it’s a sporty SUV that can still remain efficient enough for everyday driving. Plus, it has a suite of comfort and convenience features, including: Uconnect ® 8.4 NAV with high-resolution 8.4-inch color touchscreen, built-in 3-D Navigation, HD Radio™, and more. Alpine ® Premium Audio System with a 12-channel, 506-watt amplifier, nine speakers, and a powerful subwoofer. Heated steering wheel to keep your hands warm and relaxed during cool winter mornings.

Jeep is Building a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Pickup For years, drivers across the country have been asking about the possibility of a Jeep Wrangler that incorporates the convenience and utility of a pickup truck. After all, an off-road trekking adventure might prove more appealing with a truck bed in back. Now, it appears Jeep is finally getting ready to release a production version of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler pickup, with spy photos already spotting one. Find out what we know so far. What We Know About the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently confirmed that Jeep will be releasing a pickup version of the Wrangler sometime late this year, after the release of the regular 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Based on the newest Wrangler platform, the pickup is likely to keep its truck-based, body-on-frame design, though it could get increased fuel economy thanks to the possible addition of more durable, lightweight aluminum elements to the frame. Not the First Jeep Truck This isn’t the first time Jeep has ventured into the pickup segment. In 2005, they gave us the Jeep Gladiator concept, but it never made it to production, nor did any of the other concept models to follow. In fact, the last time Jeep had a production pickup on the market was in 1992, when the Jeep Comanche dropped off the assembly lines. Before that, there was the Jeep Scrambler, a kind of pickup/SUV hybrid that hasn’t been around for over 30 years. Needless to say, Jeep enthusiasts who also like the utility of a pickup have plenty to be excited about with the upcoming release of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler pickup. Find Out the Latest Information about the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Pickup We don’t yet have a release date on the 2017 Jeep Wrangler pickup, and any specs floating around at this point are merely speculative. You can be sure that we’ll let drivers know as soon as there’s more information to be had. Stay up-to-speed with Dick’s CJDR of Wilsonville. In the meantime, test drive the current generation of the Jeep Wrangler SUV at our dealership, located at 10305 US-224 in Findlay, OH.
