The '''Jeep Wrangler''' is a series of compact and mid-size off-road SUVs manufactured by Jeep since 1986, and currently in its fourth generation. The Wrangler JL, the most recent generation, was unveiled in late 2017 and is produced at Jeep's Toledo Complex.
The Wrangler is a direct progression from the World War II Jeep, through the CJ (Civilian Jeeps) produced by Willys, Kaiser-Jeep, and American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the mid-1940s through the 1980s. Although neither AMC nor Chrysler (after it purchased AMC in 1987) have claimed that the Wrangler was a direct descendant of the original military model — both the CJ Jeeps and the conceptually consistent Wrangler, with their solid axles and open top, have been called the Jeep model as central to Jeep's brand identity as the rear-engine 911 is to Porsche.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kim |first1=Robert |title=Kaiser Jeep CJ-5 – Transcendent Independent |url= https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/curbside-classic-kaiser-jeep-cj-5-transcendent-independent/ |publisher=Curbside Classic |date=27 October 2019 |access-date=4 January 2021}}</ref>
Similar to the Willys MB and the CJ Jeeps before it, all Wrangler models continue to use a separate body and frame, rigid live axles both front and rear, a tapering nose design with flared fenders, a fold-flat windshield, and can be driven without doors. With few exceptions, they also have part-time four-wheel drive systems, with the choice of high and low gearing, and standard open bodies with removable hard or soft tops. However, the Wrangler series was specifically redesigned to be safer and more comfortable on-road, to attract more daily drivers,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.4-the-love-of-jeeps.com/jeep-wrangler.html |title=Jeep Wrangler: The Real Thing or Compromise? |website=4-the-love-of-jeeps.com |date=1995-03-21 |access-date=2010-09-19}}</ref> by upgrading its suspension, drivetrain, and interior, compared to the CJ line. The suspension on all Wranglers included trackbars and anti-roll bars, and, from the 1997 TJ onwards, front and rear coil springs instead of the previous leaf springs.<ref>{{cite book |last=Lee |first=Christian |title=High-Performance Jeep Wrangler TJ Builder's Guide |date=2007 |publisher=CarTech |isbn=9781932494266 |pages=74–75 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=HlbCM7VEmroC&q=Jeep+wrangler+coil+spring+suspension&pg=PA74 |access-date=27 November 2018}}</ref>
From 2004 onward, the Wrangler has been complemented with long-wheelbase versions, called Wrangler ''Unlimited''. 2004-2006 models were longer versions with 2 doors. In 2004, only automatic transmission-equipped “Unlimited” versions were sold. In 2005, both an automatic and manual 6-speed (NSG-370) were offered. Since 2007, the long-wheelbase Wranglers were four-door models, offering over {{convert|20|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} more room. By mid-2017, the four-door models represented three-quarters of all new Wranglers on the market.<ref name=2DrFail>{{cite web|url= https://www.autotrader.com/car-news/every-single-two-door-suv-has-failed-266841 |title=Every Single Two-Door SUV Has Failed |first=Doug |last=DeMuro |date=June 2017 |work=Autotrader |access-date=2017-09-23}}</ref>

==Background== 200px|thumb|left|Jeep Wrangler logo Outwardly resembling the Jeep CJ-7, the first Wrangler - formally announced in February 1986 at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show - was said to be based on a new set of design parameters. "The product philosophy behind the two vehicles", François Castaing (AMC VP of Product Engineering) stated, "is completely different".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ackerson |first1=Robert |title=Jeep Wrangler from 1987 |date=2006 |publisher=Veloce Publishing |isbn=9781904788973 |page=7}}</ref>
The new car had a wider track, slightly less ground clearance, improved handling, and additional passenger comfort features. The YJ still had leaf spring suspension similar to that of the CJ – however, the springs were wider, and the first Wrangler had trackbar suspension links and anti-roll bars for improved handling and safety, making it less likely to roll by untrained or unwary drivers.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.allpar.com/threads/how-the-jeep-got-its-name-instead-of-peep-beep-or-seep.229807/#post-1085223905 |title=How the Jeep got its name instead of Peep, Beep, or Seep |website=allpar.com |date=16 November 2020 |first1=Ken |last1=Massey |first2=David |last2=Zatz |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref>
=== Manufacturing === Jeep YJ models were manufactured from 1986 and 1995 at Brampton Assembly, and subsequently at the Toledo South Assembly plant. A major difference in the 1987–1995 models were the rectangular headlights, which reverted to rounded ones in the TJ and then JK versions. In 2006, Wrangler production was moved to Toledo Complex.<ref>{{cite news|first=Julie M. |last=McKinnon |url= http://www.toledoblade.com/Automotive/2007/02/11/Bumpy-at-first-assembly-smooths-out-for-Wrangler.html |title=Bumpy at first, assembly smooths out for Wrangler |newspaper=The Toledo Blade |date=11 February 2007 |access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> Post-2006 Wranglers were set apart from their predecessors by the angle of the grille. In all previous models, the grille was flat and even with the front fenders. The newer Wrangler was constructed with a grille that angled out from the top and then continued in a straight line from the midway point, toward the bottom. This decreased the hood length while increasing the length of the fenders. In more recent models, this angle has been lowered more toward the bottom of the grille. In Egypt, the YJ was produced in both short and long-wheelbase versions. The extended wheelbase retained the 2-door design and was dubbed LJ (or labeled as YJL in Egypt's Owner's Manual). The long-wheelbase continued as TJL (aka J8), inspiring the JK's 4-door version.
== Models == The Wrangler debuted in 1986 as a new model after the discontinuance of the Jeep CJ series.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of Jeep Wrangler |url= https://www.newsilike.in/history-of-the-jeep-wrangler/ |publisher=Newsilike |date=11 May 2016 |access-date=4 January 2021}}</ref> It was revised in 1996, and completely redesigned in 2006. In addition to the model's name ''Wrangler'', each model received a designation corresponding to its generation: YJ (1986–1995), TJ (1997–2006), JK (2007–2018), and the current JL model. Foreign military versions of the Wrangler have carried the J8 designation, which was initially dubbed TJL when first produced at Arab American Vehicle's Egyptian plant.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wrangler "TJL" diesel technical specifications |url=http://www.aav.com.eg/diesel_data.html |website=aav.com.eg |access-date=17 April 2014 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref> The Wrangler-based pickup truck, the Gladiator, began production in 2019 for the 2020 model year.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a29009/2017-jeep-wrangler-pickup-info/ |title=2019 Jeep Wrangler Pickup: Everything We Know |last=Perkins |first=Chris |website=blog.caranddriver.com |access-date=2016-01-13}}</ref>

Although introduced May 13, 1986, as a 1987 model, and by August 1987 (the 1988 second model year) under the new ownership of Chrysler, the first-generation Wrangler had been developed by American Motors Corporation (AMC, under the control of Renault at that time). It featured rectangular headlamps, differing from the round ones on its predecessors, the CJ Jeeps. The new 'Wrangler' was a new design, and compared to the CJ-7, it had a wider track, slightly less ground clearance, and improved comfort, safety, and handling. It continued many features of the CJ-7, such as part-time 4WD, live rigid front and rear axles on leaf springs, and an open body on a separate frame. It maintained the same wheelbase.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jeep Wrangler 1986 brochure |url= https://israeljeeps.co.il/%d7%92%d7%99%d7%a4-%d7%90%d7%a1%d7%a4%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa/yj-%d7%a8%d7%a0%d7%92%d7%9c%d7%a8/ |access-date=25 March 2018}}</ref>

Introduced in 1996 as a 1997 model, the second-generation Wrangler reintroduced the round headlamps from the classic Jeep models. The main engine was the AMC 242 4.0 L inline 6. From the Wrangler TJ onwards, all Wranglers were fitted with coil-spring instead of leaf-spring suspension, and the automatic shifter was relocated to the floor.
In 2004, a long-wheelbase "Unlimited" model was introduced. Furthermore, starting in 2006, Israeli Automotive Industries Ltd. produced the first five-door Jeep Wrangler derivative, built under license from Chrysler, for the Israel Defense Forces, based on a {{convert|2931|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wheelbase Wrangler (TJ).

The third-generation Wrangler was released in 2006 for the 2007 model year. Developed under the ownership of DaimlerChrysler, the JK was Jeep's first Wrangler that was a completely clean-sheet design of the body, frame, and suspension. New features for the Wrangler included power windows, remote power door locks, navigation, as well as electronically detachable sway bars on some models.
Along with the traditional 2-door model, a 4-door "Unlimited" model was released, offering considerably more room, thanks to an over 20 inches (50 cm) longer wheelbase. These became quite successful sellers. By mid-2017, the four-door models represented three-quarters of all new Wranglers on the market.<ref name=2DrFail/>
On September 2, 2011, Jeep announced a partnership with Activision for the second year in a row, to make a special edition ''Modern Warfare 3'' Jeep based on the Wrangler Rubicon model. The Jeep comes with various features, including the interior and exterior being designed with a ''Modern Warfare 3'' theme. Jeep dealers started selling this model in November 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1065755_2012-jeep-wrangler-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-edition |title=2012 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: MW3 Special Edition Debuts |work=MotorAuthority |last=Read |first=Richard |date=September 2, 2011 |access-date=December 2, 2020}}</ref>

The fourth-generation Wrangler was unveiled in late 2017 for the 2018 model year. The JL features additional powertrains over the Pentastar V6, a redesigned 8-speed automatic transmission, an easier fold-flat windshield, new zipperless soft tops, blind-spot monitoring, a backup camera, and a more modern interior. Powertrains for the 2018 models included a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 making {{convert|270|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|295|lbft|Nm kgm|0|abbr=on}} of torque and the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gasoline engine making {{convert|285|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|260|lbft|Nm kgm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Additionally, a 2.2-liter turbodiesel I4 was first available in Europe and since 2020 in North America with EcoDiesel engines. For the 2021 model year, Jeep introduced a plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler, dubbed the Wrangler 4xe, that went on sale in early 2021. The Wrangler 4xe provides an estimated {{convert|25|mi|km}} of all-electric range. In the third quarter of 2021, Jeep released the Rubicon 392 model, the most powerful JL ever produced. It comes with a 6.4L Hemi V8 that produces {{convert|470|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|470|lbft|Nm kgm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. This allows it to complete the quarter mile in 13.0 seconds, with 0-60 mph taking 4.5 seconds.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.jeep.com/2022/wrangler/rubicon-392.html | title=2022 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon 392 - V8 HEMI Engine SUV }}</ref>
