When people stop and ask questions about a vehicle it usually coincides with a vehicle that’s so new, they haven’t previously seen the vehicle up close and personal. But the Wrangler is a staple of driving life. People have seen this Jeep for decades, but it still gets plenty of ogles. While driving the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (the other Wranglers are the Wrangler X and the Sahara), I eventually lost count of how many times people rushed up to ask questions. A few people wanted to know what the new-for-2009 features are. (In a nutshell, the big differences are two new exterior colors; standard Hill Start Assist, which prevents rollback on surface grades; and a stow-net added to the lower center stack.) People also wanted to know if the vehicle is as much fun to drive as it looks. (The answer: It’s undeniably fun.) Jeep Wrangler can go anywhere. Just consider the angles: approach is 44.3 degrees, break-over is 25.4 degrees, and departure is 40.4 degrees. The body-on-frame chassis Wrangler Rubicon also provides (as standard fare) an electronic disconnecting front stabilizer bar (aka active sway bar system), which provides additional wheel travel for the wild terrain zones. Off-road drives are covered. There are skid plates to protect the fuel tank, transfer case, and the automatic transmission oil pan. Ride high and travel fine with 32-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires—a staple of the Rubicon. All Wranglers are powered by a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 202 horsepower and 237 pounds-feet of torque. When Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4 is fitted with the optional 4-speed automatic transmission, per gallon fuel estimates are 15 city and 19 highway. MSRP of the Wrangler Rubicon is $28,190. The dual top group option package ($1,585) includes a 3-piece hard top, and tinted rear quarter and lift-gate windows.
