The new interior is a huge improvement. A modular instrument panel replacesgauges that were scattered across the front dash. A modern heating and
ventilation system replaces the antiquated tacked-on system. New high-back
front seats provide improved comfort and lateral support. And the driver
looks through a taller--by three inches--windshield, where the wipers no
longer rest at half-mast.
This is a small sport-utility. And it's more sport than utility. There's
room for either four people or two people and their gear, but not both.
For weekend excursions, the best bet is to leave the back-seat passengers
behind, flip the rear seat forward or remove it, and head for the hills.
There's enough space behind the rear seat for a fly fishing vest, waders,
wading boots. Flip the rear seat down and there's plenty of room for a
tent, a cooler, camping gear and way too much fishing equipment. It doesn't
get much better than this.
Need to haul still more stuff? The Wrangler's modest towing capacity
is sufficient for those who need to pull a personal watercraft or snowmobile. Next Page
