Off-Road Capability of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

In the 2024 model year, the Jeep brand is elevating the Wrangler's capability to unprecedented levels. This includes introducing its first full-float Dana rear axle, an impressive 100:1 crawl ratio, and a factory-installed 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch, ensuring you're always ready for any off-road challenge. Moreover, the towing capability has been increased to an impressive 5,000 pounds. Inside the vehicle, drivers and passengers will enjoy enhanced comfort and safety with a brand-new interior design. Among the upgrades are available 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio, and standard side curtain airbags in the first and second rows, ensuring a secure and enjoyable driving experience.

For the second consecutive year, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe maintains its position as America's top-selling plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Looking ahead to the new 2024 model, the Wrangler 4xe takes a step further in fulfilling the Jeep brand's ambition of achieving Zero Emission Freedom and becoming the leading environmentally-conscious SUV brand globally. This commitment drives the brand to craft the most capable and sustainable Jeep SUVs, showcasing their dedication to a greener future. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe models and diverse electrified powertrains are pivotal in the Jeep brand's commitment to the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This ambitious roadmap aims to reduce Stellantis' global carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and establish the company as a frontrunner in the transportation industry by achieving net carbon neutrality by 2038 with electrified and more efficient propulsion systems. As part of this vision, the entire North America Jeep brand lineup is set to be electrified by the end of 2025, showcasing its dedication to embracing sustainable technologies. Looking further ahead to 2030, the Jeep brand aims to achieve a significant milestone with 50% of their sales in the United States comprising battery-electric vehicles, while in Europe, all Jeep vehicles will transition to being fully electric, exemplifying their profound commitment to a greener and more environmentally conscious future.

Each Wrangler model proudly displays its Trail Rated badge, representing an unparalleled array of specifications that set it apart. These specifications include Dana solid front and rear axles, a two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks (two front, one rear), four-wheel disc brakes, four skid plates, and a minimum tire size of 32 inches. In the latest 2024 Wrangler, the bar is raised even higher. The Rubicon models now feature the all-new next-generation Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle, adding to their impressive capabilities. The Willys model receives upgraded content, including a standard rear locker and 33-inch tires, further enhancing its off-road prowess. Additionally, the new Rubicon X model debuts with standard 35-inch tires for 4-door models with 2.0- or 3.6-liter automatic powertrains, integrated off-road camera, and robust steel bumpers, making it an ideal choice for the adventurous off-roader. The utilization of a full-float axle design strategically shifts the weight of the vehicle onto the axle tube rather than bearing the load on the axle shaft directly. Consequently, the axle shaft is exclusively exposed to torsional forces, solely responsible for transmitting power to the wheel hub. This enhanced and sturdy full-float construction results in a remarkable maximum towing capacity. 

With its body-on-frame design and precision-engineered five-link suspension system, the 2024 Wrangler sets new standards in capability, delivering unparalleled off-road prowess while providing a smooth and refined on-road driving experience. Furthermore, the vehicle has advanced safety features, ensuring a secure and confident journey in any terrain. During off-road adventures, the Wrangler has four skid plates to safeguard vital vehicle components, such as the fuel tank, transfer case, and automatic transmission oil pan. The Willys and Rubicon models also boast durable tubular steel rock rails, protecting against potential body damage while conquering rugged trails. These features ensure that the Wrangler remains protected and ready to tackle any challenging terrain confidently. Employing lightweight and robust aluminum closures, such as doors, door hinges, hood, fender flares, windshield frame, and a magnesium swing gate, significantly contributes to weight reduction and enhanced fuel economy. The vehicle achieves greater efficiency by incorporating these advanced materials without compromising durability and performance. In 2024, the Wrangler will remain equipped with its reliable and proven five-link coil suspension setup. The front suspension comprises two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms, ensuring precise longitudinal control, while a cross-car track bar facilitates lateral axle control. Similarly, the rear suspension follows a similar layout, with two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for excellent longitudinal axle control, complemented by a track bar for effective lateral axle control. This well-engineered suspension system guarantees optimal handling and stability, making the Wrangler a true performer on any terrain.
