2020 Jeep WranglerThe iconic Jeep Wrangler is what Jeep is all about. It still has the same look it had when it first came out, and over the years, it has evolved into a four-wheel-drive vehicle with unmatched capabilities. No matter what model you get, the Wrangler can take you where most other cars and trucks cannot go, and the reason for this is all of its off-road equipment. Here are some of the off-road features you didn’t know about the 2020 Jeep Wrangler.

1. It has Three Different Available 4×4 Systems

Jeep offers the Wrangler with three different 4×4 systems. The Sahara comes with a full-time Selec-Trac 4×4 System that will automatically switch from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive when you need it. On clear, dry roads, the system will use just two wheels, but if you hit mud or snow, it automatically engages all four wheels. The Command-Trac 4×4 System drives torque to all the wheels when needed, and it has excellent low-range torque to give you traction when you go rock crawling. Read the rest of this entry »
