Would You Rather Have A Jeep Wrangler Or A Truck?
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler — or for that matter any Jeep Wrangler — has some characteristics that make it a better buy than a truck for many people. This article will look at why people would rather have a Jeep Wrangler than a truck and how to apply these ownership considerations to your shopping process.
Standard Four-Wheel Drive
While many truck shoppers think that four-wheel drive will be standard, it is generally not standard on full-size or midsize trucks.
Therefore, those looking for adventure may be disappointed if they drive off in a truck only to discover later that it doesn’t have the traction capability of four-wheel drive. For that matter, that truck doesn’t have Jeep terrain management, a standard on Wranglers.
There’s never any doubt about ground clearance, since Wranglers are built tall even before any special equipment is added. To learn more about the Wrangler’s standard and available features, check out this new Wrangler overview.
True Off-Road Architecture
Whether it’s the 2-door or the 4-door Wrangler, this Jeep is going to be shorter than a truck. As you know, a shorter vehicle is a better off-roading option, especially if that vehicle is a Jeep.
As such, Wranglers can guarantee sharper angles for approach, departure and every other maneuver.
Furthermore, the entire architecture and exterior design of the Wrangler was created with off-roading in mind. That’s why all of the normal overhangs are so tight. There’s much less to catch on debris than you’d find on a normal truck.
Electric Powertrain
If you are thinking about an electric vehicle, the Wrangler 4xe is the perfect fit. It is a plug-in hybrid with typical off-roading equipment. It also has a commute-worthy driving range. That same distance is perfect for quiet off-roading adventures. That’s different from the typical pickup, for sure!
Cutting-Edge Tech Toys, Supreme Comforts
You may think you have to get a truck to get modern dash tech or any number of other high tech toys available today. Rest assured, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler has 10-way power adjustable seats, a large touchscreen and many other favorite features on its menu.
There are more safety features and more driver aids on the Wrangler than ever before. For such a classic off-roader, this Jeep is absolutely modern in every way.
Conclusion
If deciding between the Wrangler and a truck is still too difficult, this is the best advice. You should go for the Jeep Gladiator. It has all of the Jeep characteristics of the Wrangler, and its one difference is the truck bed which makes it a little longer than its well-known sibling.
Now that you know more about the differences between a Wrangler and a truck, it’s time to have some fun. Why not schedule a test drive?
