Wrangler, on the Rubicon

Life on the Rocks

Despite its prowess on the rocks, however, there are some trade-offs with the new Wrangler. Given the extra 300 pounds, more than the available 237 lb.-ft. of torque would be an improvement, and while we were able to navigate through all the obstacles, the nimble way in which our guide’s 2006 Wrangler sprinted through tight corners vividly illustrated the difference. As for the Wrangler Unlimited, the longer wheelbase and expanded width wasn’t a factor in traversing the Rubicon Trail, and the breakover angle is excellent when compared to most of the competition.
