2026 Jeep Wrangler

Two doors or four, turbo four, V6 or V8, and three 4x4 systems. Here is how the 2026 Wrangler lineup fits together, what it can do off-road and on the hitch, and what changes for 2027.

Quick answer: The 2026 Jeep Wrangler comes as a 2-door or 4-door with a 270-hp 2.0L turbo four, a 285-hp 3.6L V6 (the only engine with a manual) or a 470-hp 6.4L V8 on the Moab 392 and Willys 392. Every Wrangler is Trail Rated 4x4. Towing tops out at 5,000 lb on properly equipped 4-door Rubicons. The 4xe plug-in hybrid was discontinued starting with 2026, and the 2027 Wrangler is now available to order with more standard equipment.

Want a manual? It comes only with the V6, on both 2- and 4-door models. On the 2-door, the automatic pairs with the 2.0L turbo. The 2.0L and V6 run on regular fuel; the V8 recommends premium.

The 2-door is shorter, nimbler on tight trails and clears obstacles with a better breakover angle. The 4-door has a usable back seat, more than twice the cargo space behind it and the higher towing ratings, which is why most families choose it.

4x4 systems

  • Command-Trac: part-time 4x4 with a 2.72:1 low range.
  • Rock-Trac: standard on Rubicon, with a 4:1 low range for crawling. With the manual and available 4.88 axles, the crawl ratio reaches 100:1.
  • Selec-Trac: full-time 4x4 with a 2.72:1 low range, so you can leave it in 4x4 on wet roads or snow on the way to Tahoe. Standard on the Moab 392.

Off-road capability

Every Wrangler is Trail Rated. Properly equipped with 35-in tires, it offers up to 12.9 in of ground clearance, approach and departure angles of 47.4 and 40.4 degrees, and water fording up to 34 in. The Rubicon adds solid Dana axles with front and rear Tru-Lok electronic lockers, an electronic front sway bar disconnect and rock rails, with a factory Warn winch available. For a local trip plan, read Elk Grove to Tahoe in a Wrangler.

Towing

The 2-door tows up to 2,000 lb and most 4-doors up to 3,500 lb. Properly equipped 4-door Rubicon and Rubicon X models with the automatic tow up to 5,000 lb, which Jeep calls best in class. The 392 models are rated at 3,500 lb. Details are in our Wrangler towing and cargo guide.

Tech and safety

The Wrangler's 12.3-in Uconnect 5 touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Front and rear side-curtain airbags have been standard since 2024, and the IIHS rates the 4-door Good in its updated side and moderate-overlap crash tests. The 2026 Wrangler also gets a new door-hinge design that makes removing the doors quicker.

Coming for 2027

The 2027 Wrangler is available to order now, with the same three engines and a streamlined lineup that adds standard equipment:

  • Sahara gets blind-spot and cross-path detection, rear park assist, auto high beams, 9-speaker Alpine audio, navigation and a front TrailCam as standard.
  • Rubicon gets heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and navigation as standard.
  • Sport, Sport S and Willys get a 7-in color instrument cluster; Sport S and Willys add passive entry.
  • The Willys 392 joins the regular lineup, and new colors include Gobi, Sting Gray, Hella Yella and Ghost.

Should you wait? If the 2027 standard features matter to you, ask us about ordering one. Otherwise a 2026 on our lot has the same engines and capability.

What happened to the Wrangler 4xe?

Stellantis discontinued its plug-in hybrids in North America starting with the 2026 model year, including the Wrangler 4xe. If you own one, our service department continues to support 4xe owners, including open recalls; check your VIN at nhtsa.gov.

Wrangler vs Ford Bronco

The Bronco's strongest engine is a 418-hp V6, and most Broncos tow 3,500 lb, up to 4,500 lb with the 3.0L. The Wrangler answers with an available 470-hp V8, solid front and rear axles and up to 5,000 lb of towing on the 4-door Rubicon, plus a removable top and doors on every model.
