  • 2018 Jeep Wrangler first drive, Tucson, Arizona

    With anticipation comes expectations. Before venturing to Tucson, Arizona, to experience the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, we assumed that it would be more refined, more livable, more comfortable, more efficient, and more feature-laden. And it delivers all those superlatives. But what we also expected was compromise. If Jeep can make a Wrangler a viable daily driver, it simply cannot be as capable off-road. MORE: 2018 Jeep Wrangler preview Or so we thought. Leaving no stone unturned (or crawled over), the 2018 Jeep Wrangler eclipses its predecessors on- and off-the road. Jeep didn’t turn to wonky...

  • 2018 Jeep Wrangler, 2017 Los Angeles auto show

    Jeep on Wednesday unveiled the redesigned 2018 Wrangler at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. There’s no mistaking the new off-roader, known to fans as the JL series, for anything other than a Wrangler. However, there are also modern touches such as the LED lights and more aerodynamically shaped grille. The vehicle also has plenty of tech thrown in for good measure. Jeep is calling the 2018 Wrangler the most capable yet. The unmatched capability is thanks to Command-Trac and Rock-Trac 4x4 systems, next-generation Dana axles, new Selec-Trac full-time two-speed transfer case, Tru-Lock...
