The Jeep Wrangler has never been the world’s most refined vehicle in terms of ride quality and handling; it’s not really the point. But the addition of 22 inch monster truck wheels and tyres to this 2018 example will most likely have made it even worse. But on the upside, it looks like a Tonka truck, which will make it very popular with young children. If you are the sort of person who likes to see happy, smiling kids then this car might be right up your street.

The Wrangler’s roots go back to the famous Willys Jeep of World War 2. And while it’s no longer the bone shaker it was in its early days it’s still very much at its best when dealing with terrain that would send most other SUVs scuttling back to the suburbs in horror. It’s a sturdy body-on-ladder frame design with lots of ground clearance and suspension travel and this 2018 Sport Unlimited version is loaded with important off-roading gubbins. Its rigid front and rear axles, locking differentials, hill descent control, electronically detachable front anti-roll bar and all-terrain tyres make the Wrangler a true hero when you need to venture away from the tarmac.

Much like the legendary Land Rover Defender, it has introduced certain levels of comfort over the years but don’t expect it to be the most comfortable daily driver. The Wrangler doesn’t compromise on its stated intent to tame the wild - well, except for cruise control, air conditioning, sound system...

This NZ new Wrangler has travelled only 44000km and is ready to take you on your next adventure, even if that adventure is to the local KFC car park. More details here.
