Choosing between the plug-in hybrid variant and the flagship gas model may depend on how often you travel, your eco-friendly priorities, and the standard features you need for everyday convenience. more The main difference between this year's Wrangler models can be found under the hood. The gas-powered Wrangler is outfitted with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is married to a six-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drivetrain. Drivers can customize the Wrangler by upgrading to the available 2.0-liter I4 turbocharged engine for greater efficiency. The Wrangler 4xe, on the other hand, is powered by a 2.0-liter I4 PHEV motor that offers an output of 270 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. This plug-in hybrid powertrain is matched with a standard four-wheel drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission for well-rounded performance in all driving conditions. Efficiency and Performance As you might expect, the Wrangler 4xe offers more efficiency than the gas model. The Wrangler 4xe has an estimated all-electric driving range of 21 miles, which is perfect for running errands around town without relying on gas power. The total driving range when the PHEV engine is fully active is 370 miles. The Wrangler 4xe also has an estimated combined mileage of 49 MPGe. The gas-powered two-door Wrangler, on the other hand, has an estimated fuel economy of 17 MPG in urban areas and 23 MPG on the freeway. Four-door Wrangler models get 16 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the interstate. As a note, the two-door Wrangler has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs, while the four-door Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe each tow up to 3,500 lbs. Exterior Features The Jeep Wrangler offers more customization options for key exterior features. Most Wrangler models are available with a two-door or four-door configuration, while Wrangler 4xe models are only available with four-door configurations. Drivers who prioritize off-road performance, easier parking, and Jeep's iconic style may prefer the two-door gas-powered Wrangler. Each Wrangler model performs well in off-road and on-road driving environments. While the Wrangler 4xe offers enhanced efficiency, the gas-powered Wrangler has more customization options.

While the warranty benefits for a new Chrysler under the factory-limited warranty may last for three years or 36,000 miles, drivers can opt for longer-lasting coverage with an extended warranty plan. You can generally purchase a Chrysler extended warranty, which is provided through MOPAR, at your Chrysler dealership. more 1. Multiple Coverage Plans New vehicles covered by MOPAR's vehicle protection plan have three tiers of coverage. The first tier is the MOPAR Powertrain Care Plan, which covers 300 vehicle components, particularly parts of the powertrain and transmission. The MOPAR Added Care Plus is the middle tier and covers 800 major vehicle components, such as the engine, transmission, and brake system. The MOPAR Maximum Care Plan covers 5,000 components and essentially functions as bumper-to-bumper coverage for most mechanical parts. Key mechanical components covered by this plan include the drivetrain, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning system, and suspension system. 2. Additional Perks Your MOPAR vehicle protection plan comes with added perks like an allowance for a rental car and trip interruption coverage, which reimburses you for certain travel-related expenses because of unexpected vehicle repairs. Roadside assistance and towing benefits are also perks of your MOPAR extended warranty, which means you can access assistance if you need a battery jump start or your vehicle needs to be towed to the nearest authorized repair shop. 3. Long-Lasting Coverage Extended warranty plans can last for eight years or 125,000 miles for the middle-tier plan. The extended warranty starts from the vehicle's original warranty start date when your Chrysler was first purchased and the odometer was at zero miles. You can figure out the estimated length of your warranty by subtracting the current miles on your vehicle from 125,000 miles. Do Warranty Benefits Include GAP Insurance? GAP insurance or guaranteed automotive protection is a bridge between what your extended warranty covers and the remaining payments on your vehicle. Typically, GAP insurance is used in cases where your vehicle is declared a total loss because of vandalism or an accident. When you purchase an extended warranty plan through MOPAR, you can opt for GAP insurance for additional peace of mind. An extended warranty can give you certain perks like roadside assistance and reduced fees for major vehicle repairs.

Here's a breakdown of crucial Jeep maintenance that you don't want to miss, including how frequently to have each service carried out at your local Jeep dealership. more Tire Pressure Checks (Monthly) When tires are improperly inflated, you're put at increased risk of skids and blowouts. Frequently check to ensure the PSI in each tire is at the level recommended in your owner's manual. Check All Vehicle Fluids (Monthly) Routinely check the level and condition of your motor oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid. Top each fluid up or flush as required, and fix any leaks. Oil Change (Twice Yearly) Your engine depends on fresh motor oil to run smoothly. Have your oil changed every six months, and more frequently if you do a lot of off-roading, which tends to degrade motor oil faster. Tire Rotation (Twice Yearly) Have your tires rotated to mitigate uneven tire wear. This will keep your tires in good shape for longer. Brake Inspections (Twice Yearly) Have your brakes professionally inspected every six months. When brake pads, rotors, or calipers are found to be worn out, have them replaced at once. Inspect and Test the Battery (Yearly) Your battery will need to be checked for signs of damage and tested for conductivity strength. This becomes more important as the battery ages and also just before winter. Replace Windshield Wipers (Yearly) Windshield wipers usually need to be replaced after winter. You might also want to install heavy-duty wipers before winter to handle the cold and snow. Change Spark Plugs (Every Two Years) Your spark plugs may need to go after two years. However, superior-quality plugs can last for much longer than this. Ask a technician how long your spark plugs are likely to last.

Fortunately, as your Jeep dealer, we can prepare your vehicle to withstand even the lowest temperatures. We want to tell you about some Jeep winter maintenance to help your Jeep beat the winter. more Battery Check Your battery supplies the electrical charge that powers the starter so it can crank your engine and begin combustion. The average life of a car battery is three to five years, but regular low temperatures can reduce this. Extreme cold causes the battery's electrolyte solution to partially solidify. At 0 F, a healthy battery can only supply approximately 50% of its regular power. Battery storage capacity declines naturally with age, making it more difficult to start the engine. Our technicians will connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. This machine subjects the battery to various stress tests to determine its remaining strength and storage capacity. If your battery is weak, we can install a new one in minutes. Oil Change Your engine depends on a constant flow of high-quality oil to keep it working effectively. Oil lubricates countless engine components, allowing them to move smoother and faster while protecting them against friction damage. Oil additives help prevent rust, break down potentially damaging engine deposits, and keep the engine clean. Older oil is less effective due to the absorption of dirt and other minute engine debris. The combination of age and low temperatures can lead to unnecessary engine wear and tear. We'll test the oil and replace it if needed. Fresh oil will ensure your engine works efficiently despite the cold. Check Windshield Wipers Windshield wipers can be easy to forget about but become very important when snow falls. Your wiper blades are made from high-quality rubber to allow them to clear your windshield quickly. Rubber degrades over time, becoming less flexible. The lack of flexibility can cause the blades to crack, and pieces will break off. Damaged blades can't effectively clear the windshield, and good visibility is essential in snowy conditions. We'll replace damaged blades and test the wiper system to ensure it's in good condition. If you'd like more information on winter preparation or to book a service, contact us today at Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI.
