Under the Wrangler's Hood

A 3.6-liter V6 engine and four-wheel drive come standard on all 2017 Jeep Wranglers. This engine can produce 285 horsepower and 260-lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is also part of the standard makeup. The transmission is designed with high and low range gearing and hill-start assist. Per Edmunds testing, a two-door Wrangler with a manual transmission went from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds! That is some serious power!  If you are looking for a Jeep with an automatic transmission, Jeep does offer a five-speed automatic transmission as an added option. For superior off-roading, the Rubicon trim includes rock rails, a performance suspension, and a specialized four-wheel-drive system. Finally, if you are looking to tow, the Wrangler can tow up to 2000 pounds, and the Wrangler Unlimited can handle more, with a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Trailer tow packages are available as well.
