Jeep Wrangler Specs Review

The Jeep Wrangler is legendary for its off-road capability. In this Jeep Wrangler specs review, we’re going to go over some of the details that provide the 2019 model even better performance than before.

Our team at Rockwall CDJR is going over everything from powertrain specs to dimensions. Read on to find out what makes the Wrangler a great choice for drivers in Lavon, Fate, and Heath!

Jeep Wrangler Engine Specs

A 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine comes standard in each 2019 Jeep Wrangler. This engine:

• Generates 285 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 RPM
• Can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped
• Uses sequential multiport fuel injection
• Includes engine stop/start technology
• Gets an EPA-estimated 17 MPG city/25 MPG highway

Each 2019 Wrangler also has the option to upgrade to a 2.0L Direct-Injection Turbo engine. This motor generates 270 horsepower at 5,250 RPM and 295 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM.

That extra torque at a low range is helpful in getting you moving from a standstill, whether you want more acceleration when the light turns green or you’re towing something heavy. Like the 3.6L Pentastar®, this engine can also tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

The 2.0L Turbo I-4 also offers better fuel economy, thanks in part to its direct injection system. It gets an EPA-estimated 23 MPG city/25 MPG highway on 2-door models.

Jeep Wrangler Drivetrain Specs

Regardless of which engine you choose, you can get the Wrangler with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6L Pentastar® also offers a 6-speed manual transmission. In fact, the Wrangler is one of only a few midsize SUVs that offer a manual transmission.

Each Jeep Wrangler comes with 4×4 capability, but you get to choose the system it uses to send power to the wheels.

The Command-Trac® Part-Time 4WD system comes standard on Sport and Sahara models. It uses a shift-on-the-fly system that allows you to manually switch to 4WD when driving at low speeds. Plus, a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio makes crawling easy, so you can easily maneuver across rocks.

A Selec-Trac® Full-Time 4WD system is optional on Sahara models. This has the same low-range gear ratio as the Command-Trac®, but does the work for you: It automatically switches between 2WD and 4WD in response to changing road conditions.

Finally, the legendary Rock-Trac® Part-Time 4WD system comes standard on Rubicon. This provides even more off-road capability with a 4:1 low-gear ratio. Plus, an off-road transfer case protects the system, even over rough terrain.

Jeep Wrangler Dimensions

The off-road performance of the Wrangler is further aided by impressive approach, breakover, and departure angles. The 2-door Rubicon, for example, offers the following clearances:

• Approach angle: 44 degrees
• Breakover angle: 27.8 degrees
• Departure angle: 37 degrees
• Ground clearance: 10.9 inches

Inside, you’ll find 31.7 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats. With the rear seats folded, that area increases to 72.4 cubic feet.

Meanwhile, 103.7 cubic feet of total passenger volume is more than enough to keep everyone comfortable. Two-door Wrangler models seat four, while 4-door models can seat five.
