The Jeep Wrangler is a series of compact and mid-size four-wheel drive
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. 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. Also, with few exceptions, they 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, 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. From 2004 on, 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 20 in (508
mm) more room. By mid-2017 the four-door models represented
three-quarters of all new Wranglers on the market.
