Summary
The stiff new chassis, compliant new suspension, smoother, stronger engines, and comfortable new interior add up to a dramatic improvement. While the increased off-road capability has been greeted with enthusiasm by off-road Jeep enthusiasts, the improved ride and handling on the road means you don't have to be a club member to enjoy driving this new Wrangler. There really is only one.
