Jeep Wrangler Unlimited FAQs

• What is the difference between a Jeep Wrangler and a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

  The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is a slightly more commodious version of the Jeep Wrangler, boasting greater versatility. Unlike the Jeep Wrangler, which has two doors and seating for four, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has four seats and seating capacity for five. The Unlimited also has bonus space in the boot for cargo, a longer wheelbase, and is also slightly longer in terms of its exterior measurements.

• Do Jeep Wranglers have a lot of problems?

  In motoring circles, the Jeep Wrangler has been overshadowed by a number of reliability issues. There have been a range of issues over the years, with the 'JK' third-generation version burdened by a long list of problems that have frequently resulted in it being considered the least-dependable Wrangler series. This generation spanned from 2007/08 to 2017/18. If you're in the market for a Jeep Wrangler, it's good to favour one of the latest-release models, which thus far have reversed course in terms of any reliability shortcomings.

• How long do Jeep Wranglers usually last?

  A well-maintained Wrangler Unlimited can last up to 600,000-plus kilometres. However, as alluded to, it all comes down to how well you take care of your car, as well as the sort of rigour and conditions that you put it through. That means the final answer is really likely to be higher or lower depending on the level of maintenance, although the majority of Jeep Wranglers will enjoy a useful life of more than 400,000 kilometres.
