Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: Wow!
I don't think so Tim! Jeep has done it again. I ask you this: What has 4-doors; is a kick to drive; looks awesome; and, can go through the most primitive roads/trails? An ABRAMS TANK... of course! Okay, yes a tank can be all that and then some (although I don't know how many doors an "Abrams" has) but I'm really referring to the new Unlimited Wranglers anyway. Note: The Unlimited also comes in 2-door models and can be had in 2-wheel drive versions. The 4x4 models seem to balance the issue of compromised on-pavement and off road functionality. What do I mean by that? Well the Wrangler Unlimited has improved street manners, and
most of the off road capabilities of it's shorter wheelbased cousin...affectionately
known as just the "Wrangler".
Wrangler Unlimited The standard Wrangler sports a 95.4 inch wheelbase, while the Wrangler Unlimited stretches to 116.0 inches. While that doesn't seem like a lot of difference in length, the longer wheelbase translates into more cargo and/or passenger space which the short Wrangler sorely lacks. However, you must remember that the shorter Wrangler leans more toward the off road side
of design while the longer Unlimited is more of a compromise.

Also, it's worthy to note that the 4x4 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited sports the Jeep Trail Rated Badge of honor which means that it was designed to perform in 5 off-road categories including:
Wrangler Unlimited
Prices for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited range from a little over $21,000 for the base model to a hefty $35,000 with all the bells and whistles.
Compare the standard sized Wranglers with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
Just another SUV? A mini Hummer? In some respects...yes, but this little SUV has a kick...it's a Jeep.... with all the tough Jeep pedigree and heritage attached. I like this one a lot!
