Wrangler vs the Competition

Compare Performance

The Jeep Wrangler comes with three available engine options, starting with a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6: 285 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque, and options like a 270-horsepower turbocharged, 2.0-liter option, along with a 6.4-liter V8 with 470 horsepower available. It has 4x4 capability across the board and offers up to 5,000 pounds of towing.

Comparatively, the 4Runner offers similar power with a 278-horsepower turbocharged option, and while it may have a bit more towing power, it doesn't offer the trail-rated full-time 4x4 capability as the Wrangler.

With the Bronco, you'll find similar engine options and less towing capacity. This, plus a host of specialized off-road features standard or available on the Wrangler, it's the choice for anyone looking to do off-road driving in the area.

Compare Features

The Jeep Wrangler competes with the Bronco and 4Runner by providing a standard 12.3-inch touch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with features like an available Alpine premium audio system.

Of course, where the Wrangler shines is in its removable roof and door options, so you can enjoy open-air fun and excitement on board.

The 4Runner and Bronco offer similarly sized displays, and while the Bronco also has removable doors and roof options, it's not as complete and iconic as the Wrangler is with its standout style.
