2WD Wrangler...?????
 
Aren't Wranglers historically always 4wd?

Just started seeing commercials for the new 4 door Wrangler.

At the end, in the disclaimer section, it says something about prices
starting with two wheel drive version ...???

What would be the point of a 2wd Wrangler ???

For the record, I see no point in 2wd Cherokees either ;-)

Re: 2WD Wrangler...?????
 
Sure it didn't say 2-door version?

Re: 2WD Wrangler...?????
 
Nope, I have seen it also. The first 'Wrangler' Jeep ever to be sold in
Canada comes in 2 wheel drive. Go figure....

A Wrangler with it's light rear end is worse than a sports car in 2
wheel drive in snow.

2wd would be adequate for 90% of Jeep owners, just not their egos.

That's why you put sand bags or old cast iron radiators in the back.

The old mail Jeeps were 2wd, weren't they? I'd never own a 2wd but if
it keeps sales up to the point Daimler keeps Wranglers alive for a few
more years I'm all for it. If I ever wear out my '97 I might need to
buy a new one.

Re: 2WD Wrangler...?????
 

A fairly standard trick with the ElCamino is to pop off the hatch
on the truck's bed and attach lead weights to the seatbelt mounts
(same basic frame as a the stationwagon) to give it traction so it
won't sit there spinning it's wheels while the other guy is halfway
down the block already...

My wife's grandfather used a toolbox full of crap instead.

And speaking about a 2wd 'Wrangler' being worse than a sports car
in snow, I would have to add anything more difficult than damp
beach sand to that list.

I'm actually quite surprised to hear you say that - I haven't had any
problems with the Wrangler in snow.
Perhaps down to the tyres (I'm running 31x10.50 BFG MTs) ? Or may be I've
just driven more evil handling
cars.
