Performance and Mechanical Capability

Under the hood of this 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S 4x4 lies the heart of a marathon runner: the Pentastar 3.6L V-6 DOHC, variable valve control, regular unleaded, engine with 285HP. This engine is a staple of the Jeep lineup for a reason, providing a perfect balance of low-end torque for off-road maneuvers and smooth power delivery for highway cruising. Paired with a Transmission TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic, the gear changes are crisp and intuitive, optimizing the power band whether you are merging onto the interstate toward Decatur, IL or crawling through a muddy path. The 8-Speed Automatic Transmission also features Lock-up transmission and Overdrive transmission capabilities to help maintain efficiency, reflected in the 19 city and 24 highway MPG ratings.

The foundation of this Wrangler is built on the 4WD type Command-Trac part-time 4WD system, allowing you to manually engage the Manual Transfer Case when the terrain demands extra traction. This is not a soft-roader; it features a Normal Duty Suspension with a Leading Link Front Suspension w/Coil Springs and a Solid Axle Rear Suspension w/Coil Springs, ensuring that the Suspension Quadra-Coil standard ride suspension can soak up ruts and bumps with ease. To protect the vital components during your adventures, the vehicle is equipped with 3 Skid Plates and an Engine Oil Cooler to keep temperatures regulated under load. The Start-stop engine Auto stop-start engine technology further assists in conserving fuel during those long lights in the city, while the 650CCA Maintenance-Free Battery w/Run Down Protection ensures you have the cranking power needed for cold Illinois mornings.

The braking system is robust, featuring 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes and Brake assist system technology that works in tandem with the 4-wheel disc brakes to provide confident stopping power in various weather conditions.

Exterior Design and Durability

The exterior of this Wrangler is finished in the timeless Black Clearcoat, a color that emphasizes the rugged lines and iconic Seven-Slot Body-Colored Grille. This model features the Black 3-Piece Hard Top, which provides a quieter highway ride and better insulation than a soft top while still offering the Removable sunroof and Sunrider manual convertible roof experience that Jeep enthusiasts crave. The 17 inch X 7.5 inch Machined Granite Crystal Wheels are wrapped in 245/75R17 All Season Tires, offering a great look and reliable performance across varying road surfaces. To assist with entry and exit, Side steps have been installed, adding both utility and a finished look to the vehicle's profile.

Visibility is a priority, and this Jeep is equipped with the LED Headlamp and Fog Lamp Group. This includes LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights, ensuring a clear path through the darkest nights or the heaviest fog. The Heated door mirrors are a welcome addition during frost-prone mornings, quickly clearing away ice to maintain your line of sight. Functional exterior elements like the 2 front tow hooks, Rear tow hook, and Full-size spare tire with aluminum wheel mounted on the rear swing-out door reinforce the vehicle's "go-anywhere" persona.
