What are the basic decisions I need to make when buying a Wrangler?
Besides the decision of a new versus used vehicle, you should make the following decisions: • One of the different models of Wranglers, such as the Wrangler SE, Wrangler X, Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, or Unlimited. These are sometimes known as “trim levels” in dealer-speak. The major difference is that the SE comes with a four-cylinder engine, while the others have a six-cylinder engine. • Getting a manual or automatic transmission • Hard top or soft top • Dana 44/Trac-Loc axle package, or anti-lock brakes • Other options and packages If you are looking for a new Wrangler, the Wrangler section of the Jeep.com site has an interactive section where you can build and price the Wrangler you are thinking about getting. It’s a pretty neat tool, and you can use it without worrying about having to talk to a salesperson. The rest of this section discusses the pros and cons of particular options available on the Wrangler.
