The 2024 Jeep Wrangler lineup has been designed and engineered to deliver even more of what has made the Wrangler a true global icon in the off-road SUV segment, including legendary capability, class-leading versatility and advanced safety features.

New for the 2024 model year, the Jeep brand is taking Wrangler capability to new heights with an available full-float Dana rear axle, 100:1 crawl ratio, new 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch and increased 5,000-pound tow capability, all available straight from the factory.

The new 2024 Wrangler raises the bar once again, combining more capability, technology, comfort and safety features with the freedom to choose from four different powertrains, including our electrified 4xe, the best-selling PHEV in America.”
