What is a SE, X, Sport, Rubicon, and Sahara?
These are the trim level designations of the TJ given by Jeep. They are all Wranglers. Basic differences: SE: 4 cylinder, 5 speed standard, auto option, minimal options from dealer available (no D-44, no 6 cylinder) As of 2003, it is the only model that has the passenger side airbag off switch (due to the rear seat not being standard). X: Introduced in 2002, it is between the SE and Sport, with the biggest difference being a standard 6 cylinder. Also comes with back seat standard. Still no D-44 axle option though. The “X” is offered in 4 packages, the Apex (2002), Freedom (2003), Columbia, and Willy’s (2004) which primarily consist of different seat material, wheels, decals/graphics, and a few more options standard. Sport: Comes with several standard features not included with the SE and X models. 6 cylinder standard. Has the D-44 axle option. Rubicon: Introduced in 2003. According to Jeep, “the mightiest Jeep® vehicle we’ve ever produced.”. 6 cylinder standard. It comes with D-44 axle
