Top Jeep Models for Off Roading

When it comes to off-road capability, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is an absolute standout. While all trim levels of the Jeep Wrangler earn the Trail Rated badge for their off-roading capabilities, the Rubicon takes it to a whole new level. The Rock-Trac 4x4 system sets this model apart from the rest, purpose-built to conquer any terrain you encounter. At the heart of the Rubicon's off-road prowess is the two-speed transfer case with a low-range gear ratio of 4:1. This configuration provides exceptional control and torque at low speeds, making it ideal for navigating rugged landscapes. Additionally, the Rubicon comes equipped with locking differentials, which can be engaged at the touch of a button to ensure traction control. This feature allows the wheels to rotate at the same speed, helping the Wrangler maintain momentum and traverse rough terrain with precision. One exclusive feature of the Wrangler Rubicon is the electronically disconnecting front sway bar. With a simple press of a button, the driver can disengage the stabilizer bar, allowing the wheels to compress and drop further. This improved wheel articulation keeps the wheels firmly grounded, enabling the Wrangler to move smoothly in the desired direction. The standard features of the Wrangler Rubicon include FOX suspension parts, a one-inch factory lift, 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires, and eye-catching red front and rear tow hooks. 

In 2021, Jeep made a groundbreaking move by introducing the Wrangler 4xe, its first-ever plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Combining a 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engine with two electric motors and a rechargeable 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack, the Wrangler 4xe boasts an impressive output of 370 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. What sets the 4xe system apart, especially for off-roading, is its exceptional low-end torque. Teaming up with the Rock-Trac system's low-range gear ratio, the electric power of the 4xe system delivers instantaneous torque at low speeds, making it effortless to keep the wheels moving over rugged terrain. As any off-roader knows, maintaining steady momentum is crucial when navigating challenging landscapes. The 4xe system provides that extra push, ensuring you can conquer obstacles with ease. In addition to the outstanding torque offered by the 4xe system, the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe also includes all the standard features found on the traditional Rubicon model.

The Gladiator Rubicon doesn't just rely on its exclusive Rock-Trac transfer case; it showcases a remarkable range of features that truly establish it as a legendary off-road vehicle, undoubtedly living up to its name. One standout feature is the electronic disconnecting front sway bar, granting drivers the ability to disengage the front stabilizer bar effortlessly. With a simple button press, the front wheels can compress and drop more, resulting in smoother navigation over rough and uneven terrain. Moreover, the Rubicon trim incorporates Jeep's Tru-Lok locking differentials, allowing both the front and rear differentials to be locked. This feature ensures consistent and reliable momentum during your rugged off-road escapades. Additionally, when driving at higher speeds in 4-HI mode, you can lock the rear differential alone, providing enhanced control. The Rubicon doesn't stop there; it comes equipped with off-road-tuned shock absorbers from FOX, cab rock rails, and 33-inch all-terrain tires, further elevating its off-road capabilities. These additions fortify the Gladiator Rubicon as a top-tier choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking the ultimate adventure machine.

The Grand Cherokee 4xe already impresses with its all-terrain capabilities, but when it comes to the Trailhawk trim, it takes things to a whole new level with a range of exclusive equipment and features. One standout upgrade is the advanced 4x4 system, known as Quadra-Trac II, which boasts a two-speed transfer case. In 4-Low mode, this transfer case delivers increased torque to the wheels at low speeds, ensuring optimal control and unwavering momentum during off-roading adventures. Another Trailhawk-exclusive feature is the electronic disconnecting front sway bar. By freeing the sway bar, the front wheels gain the flexibility to drop and compress further, making it a breeze to navigate over significant trail obstacles with enhanced ease. Additionally, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe is equipped with the Quadra-Lift air suspension system, providing an impressive 11.3 inches of ground clearance at its highest setting. This feature adds to the vehicle's off-road capabilities, allowing it to conquer challenging terrains confidently. Moreover, the Trailhawk 4xe comes with a host of standard features tailored for off-road excellence. This includes beefy all-terrain tires, Electric Blue tow hooks, an integrated forward-facing off-road camera, an anti-glare hood decal, and high-strength steel skid plates, among others.
