2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Review

For any off-roading obstacle, there's one vehicle that tends to perform better than any other on the market, and it's the classic example that comes to mind when most people think of off-roading. The new 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK is a stunning example of everything an off-roader can be, but is it right for you? Find out in our comprehensive review.

If you live in the Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland areas, you're probably familiar with the numerous off-roading opportunities there. Venturing off the beaten path is one of the most thrilling experiences you can have. You just need to make sure you have a Jeep Wrangler JK that can handle the challenge.

Trail Rated Tough

As you might expect, the area in which the Jeep Wrangler JK shines brightest is off-roading. This vehicle proudly wears the Trail Rated Tough badge which can only be earned after completing a series of off-road challenges designed to push capability to the limit. Unlike many other vehicles in the Jeep lineup, the Wrangler JK earned this badge on every available trim level.

The Rock-Trac® 4x4 system is just one of many off-road features that make this vehicle remarkable. With a crawl ratio of 73.1:1, you'll have no problem trekking through rough terrain. As an added bonus, you can enjoy up to 30 inches of water fording and a tight 34.6-foot turning diameter. The impressive articulation and ground clearance top off the list of off-road features that set the Wrangler JK apart from the rest.

Engine Power

While the drivetrain was designed to help you conquer virtually any challenge that comes your way, it wouldn't be possible without the Jeep Wrangler JK's powerful engine. Whether you're looking to conquer, rocks, snow, mud, or virtually anything else, this engine has the power to see you through to the end.

All models come equipped with the masterfully crafted 3.6l Pentastar® V6 engine. This bad boy can offer up to 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, so you'll have incredible performance whether you're cruising down the highway or crawling over rocky terrain. As if that wasn't enough, it can also offer a 3,500-pound towing capacity.

Safety

While off-roading adventures are certainly thrilling, they can be downright dangerous if you're not careful. Fortunately, the Jeep Wrangler JK is equipped to keep you safe even through the toughest challenges. One of its most impressive safety features is the Electronic Stability Control system. This will automatically reduce engine torque and apply brakes appropriately to ensure all four wheels stay on the ground at all times.

Should an accident occur, you can rest assured that the Wrangler JK is designed to keep you and your passengers safe. There are airbags throughout with the ones in the front being multistage. The frame itself was constructed with high strength steel to protect against any impacts while the wide-spaced frame keeps your fuel tank nested safety between the wheels.
