2011 Jeep Wrangler Offers Off-Road Capability, Improved Interior

September 27th, 2010

Seattle Jeep Service invites you to treat yourself in 2011 with a brand new Jeep Wrangler.

Offered in three models – the Sport, the Sahara and the Rubicon – the Jeep Wrangler is renowned for its off-road capabilities.

Enthusiasts will go nuts for the 2011 Wrangler’s features, with high ground clearance and short and front rear overhangs that allow the Jeep to conquer steep inclines and other off-road obstacles. Three skid plates protect the underbody from damage.

Underneath the hood, all models are powered by a 3.8-liter V-6 engine producing 202 horsepower and 237 lb.-ft. of torque, backed by a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an available four-speed automatic transmission.

The classic capability of the original Wrangler is combined with an all new interior in the 2011 model, bringing drivers a more comfortable experience no matter how rough the road ahead.

A redesigned instrument panel is the highlight of the all new interior, as well as new storage areas and upgraded materials. An easy to reach and lockable center console acts as a central resting point that is easy to operate.

The climate of the new interior will always be comfortable for the driver, with heated seats and heated power mirrors and automatic temperature control.

Controls located directly on the steering wheel allow the driver to easily operate the radio, cruise control, hands free phone and other functions. The 2011 Wrangler also features a new USB-capable interface that connects the driver’s Media Center to most mp3 players and storage devices.

Plenty about the 2011 Wrangler remains the same, particularly features such as the classic round headlamps, seven-slot grille, trapezoid wheel flares and exposed hinges. Sticking with the traditional design, the 2011 Wrangler also includes signature features like hard and soft tops, a fold-down windshield, and available full-framed or half doors.

Keeping safety at the forefront, the Wrangler features standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll Mitigation and tire pressure monitoring. Brake-Assist and hill-start assist prevent roll back on inclines, and the available Trailer-sway Control engages ESC if the trailer travels outside of intended parameters.

New colors have even been added to the Wrangler’s resume. Drivers have the option of Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White to coat their Wrangler.

Get Off-Roading With Your Seattle Jeep Dealers!

July 25th, 2010

Rairdon Auto Group’s Jeep dealership in Seattle is excited to hear about the all new Jeep Camper that is coming in August. The Chrysler Group’s Jeep and Mopar are helping off-road enthusiasts set up camp and will be the first in the industry to offer customers off-road camper trailers.

“The Jeep brand is widely known for providing its customers with a sense of freedom and adventure, with a mix of vehicles to take them wherever they want to go,” said Mike Manley, President and Chief Executive Officer – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Thanks to our friends at Mopar, the Jeep experience may now be taken to a new level. Families may hook up an off-road Jeep camper to their capable Jeep vehicle and enjoy an ultimate outdoor adventure that no other manufacturer can offer.”

Designed to meet off-road capabilities of Jeep 4×4 vehicles, Jeep Trail and Extreme Trail campers incorporate Jeep Wrangler’s rugged design cues, including Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels (with 5-lug by 5-inch bolt pattern to utilize most Jeep vehicles’ spare tire), taillights, fender flares, rear bumper (Trail Edition camper only), badging and hood-tie downs. In August, both Jeep camper trailers may be ordered at local Jeep dealers through Mopar®, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand.

“At Mopar, we are always looking for opportunities to support and add value to our Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Truck brands, and this is a great example of how we can do that,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and Chief Executive Officer – Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care. “Our trailers are specifically designed and engineered to meet strict capability requirements of Jeep. Mopar will continue to offer features that enhance the customer’s experience with our brands and our vehicles.”

Seattle Jeep Trail Edition Camper for Casual Camping

The all-new Jeep Extreme Trail Edition camper is designed to handle maximum off-road capability that hard-core off-road enthusiasts crave, with additional trail equipment to go anywhere and do anything.

Starting with the Jeep Trail Edition camper’s off-road engineered suspension, the Jeep Extreme Trail Edition camper ups the ante with a heavy-duty frame, more ground clearance (15 inches) and a full-underbody skid plate. Larger 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires provide a beefier trail-ready aesthetic and sit below black diamond-plated aluminum fenders. These unique design fenders are mounted higher on the Jeep Extreme Trail Edition camper to accommodate up to 37-inch tires for maximum off-road capability. Improving the standard 2-inch trailer-hitch ball is an available heavy-duty pintle hitch with a 360-degree rotating axis for maximum off-road maneuvering and on-trail articulation.
