Jeep Wrangler: Still rugged with a few old-school niggles

“If you head to the trail -- and just about any trail, with the Wrangler -- the sacrifices might feel well worth it. The tough body-on-frame chassis and solid front and rear axles that established the Wrangler as one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market continues to wow, with lots of clearance, a rugged underbody with protective skid plates, and terrific boulder-scrambling prowess. There’s some modern technology that’s been subbed in as well-like an electronic sway-bar disconnect that allows dramatic off-road wheel articulation (and stable grip in extraordinary situations) without cutting into its stability on the road.” -- thecarconnection.com
