Jeep’s Wrangler has been one of the longer-running lines in the truck market, and it’s without doubt one of the most iconic names for truck enthusiasts. And while some have been claiming that the line is on its way out, its popularity has actually continued to rise in recent years, leading Chrysler to the obvious decision to continue investing in the name. Now, with the 2015 version of the Wrangler, it’s clear that the company is well determined to preserve the good name of the line.
The overall look of the truck has been kept in touch with the previous entries in the line, and it still has the characteristic look that the line started with decades ago. Of course, it’s been slightly revised to keep it in line with modern trends, but fans of the Wrangler will immediately recognize the truck from every side.
In general, the designers of the Wrangler have never been too keen on making any serious changes to the truck’s appearance, and any modifications it’s received through the years have been carefully thought-out and placed. When the truck’s design is changed, it’s usually in a subtle way which a very specific purpose, and this same trend can be seen in the appearance of the 2015 Wrangler as well.
For the 2015 edition of the truck, the company is offering it in several distinct variants, namely the basic Sport version, Willys Wheeler, Sahara, Freedom Edition, Rubicon and Rubicon X. The Rubicon edition is notable for featuring the Off-Road Rock-Trac system which significantly improves the truck’s control and performance on more difficult terrain, particularly extremely uneven and rocky grounds.
And with the Rubicon X edition, buyers will get even better performance in rocky environments, thanks to the advanced BF Goodrich tires and the electronic rear lockup system. With its crawl ratio of 73:1 in manual transmission, this is an unbeatable offer for those who want to go on a serious adventure, and the Rubicon X can effortlessly crawl at nearly-upwards inclines.
Pricing for the model remains in the same range, with the base models starting at $23,800 and a price of $27,600 for the Unlimited version, which also includes the delivery. So far, responses to the announcement have been very positive, and it’s clear that the Wrangler still has a very respectable fan base, full of people who are always eager to see another revised and modernized edition of the truck. Chrysler have been doing a good job at filling that market niche as well, and it seems that it would be wise for the company to continue that trend for at least another few years. They will have plenty of fans following them through that time, that’s for sure.
