When the first Jeep
® Wrangler Rubicon® rolled off the line in 2002, a
tough-as-rocks legend was born, fully capable of mastering its namesake,
the venerable Rubicon Trail. After a decade of winning accolades, awards,
and respect, Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition arrives. Its unique
features will thrill Wrangler’s hard-core fans who live to head out in 4LO
with the confidence of a true trail warrior.
JEEP

FORGED FOR THE LONG, ROCKY HAUL
Red tow hooks in the front and
rear grab attention and prompt
a hero’s welcome when you’re in
rescue mode on the trail.
Battle the boulders with stamped steel skid plates that help protect
Rubicon’s beefy guts. Brawny Dana® 44 heavy-duty solid front and
rear axles are standard fare. Rock-Trac® 4WD with a 4:1 low-gear ratio
lets Rubicon overcome radical obstacles at low speeds for greater
control, increasing the amount of torque pushed to the wheels.
Electronic Front Sway Bar Disconnect permits an intimidating
display of articulation. Removeable front bumper end caps provide
maximum maneuverability.
