Jeep faithful will be pleased that the Wrangler Unlimited embodies all the traditional Jeep attributes, adding much-needed cargo room and two more doors. The Wrangler Unlimited has a stiffer frame, 116-inch wheelbase, and retuned suspension settings, which should help tame the infamous jittery on-road ride. A 3.8L V-6 couples to a standard 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is standard, with three settings for different terrain and driving conditions. Side-impact airbags are optional. A 368-watt Alpine audio system and optional navigation system are also available. Serious rock hoppers should get the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, which has locking differentials, Active Sway Bar System, and dedicated off-road tires.

The Wrangler and Wrangler unlimited have a restyled interior for 2011. A body colored removable hard-top is available on Sahara models.
