Built in Toledo, Ohio, in the
US the all-new 2018 Wrangler arrives in
Jeep showrooms in January 2018. The all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler delivers
off-road capability courtesy of two advanced 4x4 systems, and for the first
time in Wrangler’s history, a two-speed transfer case with full-time four-wheel
drive and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio that is available on Sahara models. This
new Selec-Trac full-time two-speed transfer case is intuitive and allows the
driver to set it and forget it, while constantly sending power to the front and
rear wheels.
The Command-Trac 4x4 system
features a two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and
next-generation solid Dana front and rear axles with a 3.45 rear axle ratio.
On Wrangler Rubicon, a
Rock-Trac 4x4 system features heavy-duty next-generation Dana 44 front and rear
axles with a “4LO” ratio of 4:1. A 4.10 front and rear axle ratio is standard
as are Tru-Lok locking differentials.
Wrangler Rubicon models offer
improved articulation and total suspension travel versus the previous
generation with help from an electronic sway-bar disconnect. With the standard
six-speed manual transmission, Wrangler Rubicon has an impressive and improved
crawl ratio of 84.2:1, and 77.2:1 on Rubicon models equipped with the new
eight-speed automatic transmission – both of which makes scaling any obstacle
on the trail easy.
Both Command-Trac and Rock-Trac
systems offer full-time torque management, enabling optimal grip in
low-traction conditions. An available Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential
provides extra torque and grip during slippery, low-traction situations, such
as driving over sand, gravel, snow or ice.
