2010 Jeep(R) Wrangler Unlimited: Jeep Expands Appeal with Four-door Wrangler
09/01/2009
Jeep
The 2010 Jeep(R) Wrangler Unlimited remains the only four-door convertible on the market. With room for five adult passengers, the Jeep brand's four-door icon features class-leading off-road capability and everyday practicality.
In 2010, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited adds a new and improved Sunrider(R) soft top, making it even easier to remove the top for that open-air experience on- or off-road.
The Sunrider soft-top is redesigned with a new cable-top system that allows customers to easily open and close the top within minutes. The improved soft top features a simplified removal system that eliminates the need to un-tuck and tuck side rails when opening and closing the top.
In addition to the standard Sunrider soft top, which includes a "sun roof" and full top-down option, Jeep's Freedom Top(R) three-piece modular hard top is also available. This system features three panels that provide even more options for open-air driving.
All 2010 Wrangler models include a Fuel-saver indicator. The Fuel-saver indicator provides drivers with continuous feedback on fuel consumption. The Fuel-saver indicator will display when driving in a fuel-efficient manner.
Other standard features include fog lamps, tow hooks, larger sliding sun visors with mirrors, and compass and outside temperature display.
The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon model offers an Active Sway Bar System. The electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar delivers additional wheel travel for challenging terrain.
The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is powered by a 3.8-liter V-6 engine producing 202 horsepower (153 kW) and 237 lb.-ft. (325 N-m) of torque, backed by a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an available four-speed automatic transmission.
The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport and Sahara models are equipped with Command-Trac(R) NV241 part-time, two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. An optional Trac-Lok(R) limited-slip rear differential provides extra torque and grip during slippery, low-traction situations such as driving over sand, gravel, snow or ice.
The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon model is equipped with an Off-Road Rock-Trac(R) NV241 two-speed transfer case as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers, an electronic sway-bar disconnect and 32-inch off-road tires.
The Wrangler Unlimited Sahara and Rubicon models now feature available two-tone leather seating.
