The Wrangler JL represents a significant set of design revisions over the previous generation, and no matter what build package you decide to go with, you’ll find features designed to deliver the same great off road handling you expect, with some extras. The JL generation of Wranglers is two years old now, and the 2021 series introduces just a few revisions and spec changes that keep improving on the original JL build, but there’s a lot that looks familiar too:
- 2 or 4 door options
- 2000 lb towing capacity
- Seating for up to 4 adult riders
- 6L V-6 engine design capable of 285 horsepower at 6400 RPM
- 20mpg average fuel capacity (city & highway combined)
- Voice controlled 8-speaker stereo w/external digital memory control
With all these features, it’s no wonder so many existing Jeep owners are making plans to upgrade, especially as the first year of the JL generation ages into the bracket for certified pre-owned dealership sales. Of course, one of the best features of any new Jeep is the ability to customize it for your own off-road experience, starting at the lift kit.
