Searching for a fun new vehicle? While you busily look for new cars in stock near you, we suggest you take a moment to consider what new car is right for you. If you are looking for excitement, power, and fun, a Jeep Wrangler may be just what you need and we carry them at Dan Cummins of Georgetown. With so many cool features to explore and the capability to go anywhere, the Jeep Wrangler is a perfect SUV for adventurous folks who want to see the world without windows (and doors) to block the view. Here are a few features to love about the iconic Jeep Wrangler.

#1. Fold-Down Windshield

No other vehicle in 2021 offers a foldable windshield besides the Jeep Wrangler. While some may scoff at this feature, there are Jeep lovers who really enjoy the feel of driving in the fully open air, especially when crawling at slow speeds. Having nothing between you and the outside world is a great feeling, so Jeep makes it relatively easy to fold down the windshield to fully experience the great outdoors. Jeep provides a tool set for removing the bolts located at the top of the windshield, four in total. Once removed, a handy storage space in the rear cargo floor has slots where the bolts easily rest so you can keep them safe. Fold down the windshield and hit the trail. It’s simpler than ever!

#2. Removable Doors

A few other vehicles offer removable doors in 2021, like the Ford Bronco and the new Hummer EV, but Jeep has been the ultimate customizable vehicle for decades. It takes just a few minutes to remove the doors using the tool set provided, and you can pop the bolts and pins you remove with the doors into the storage space in the cargo tray, just like for the windshield. Jeep makes it simple to remove the doors by having access to the bolts on the exterior, a purposeful choice other vehicles don’t have. Once the doors are off, you get that true Jeep feel of being totally open to the world around you while you drive on trails. As an aside, Jeep also offers the option of half doors to allow for partial protection from splashing mud or water if you know you’re driving through wet areas but still want a more open experience.

#3. Five Options for Removable Tops

While we’re discussing removable parts, it makes sense to point out the many roof options Jeep Wranglers have available. Of course, each of the roof styles open or remove so the entire top portion of the Jeep, including the windshield, can allow for great unimpeded views of the places you explore. The standard option is the soft top, and there are two types: the standard and the premium, called the Sunrider soft top. This type of top is one of the easiest to remove using the snaps and zippers to just fold down the softcover that readily stores in the back of the Jeep. For Jeep drivers who live in colder climates, the Freedom Top hardtop offers better protection from the elements year-round, and it’s more secure. It takes two people to remove the top, but it does allow for fully open Jeep driving. If you are using your Jeep alone and want the security of the hardtop but don’t want the capability of taking it off, the Sky One-Touch top is a good answer. It’s powered to open on its own, though it doesn’t allow for a completely open experience because the back window remains in place. Finally, the dual top allows the best of the bunch with the soft top for warm months and the hardtop for cold months.

#4. Easter Eggs

Every Jeep owner should know about the tradition of Easter eggs. This phenomenon isn’t original to the brand but was started by a designer who was given the task of reworking the Wrangler in the mid-1990s, named Michael Santoro. He took the redesign seriously, wanting to hold true to what the Jeep meant to its owners and to the meaningful cultural history it held. When he finished the design, he chose to add a little character to the vents in the cowl so they would have the seven-slot grille, which is now an iconic look for Jeeps. That was the first “Easter egg,” and the tradition continued with adding hidden icons of maps, Willys Jeeps, or animals. The occasional morse code as a nod to the military. More abstract translations of past Jeep uses are also included, like the X in the tail lights of the Renegade that reference gas cans strapped to the backs of Jeeps.

#5. Plug-in Hybrid Creeping Power

Silent and stealthy, the plug-in hybrid has the capability to run on its electric motor while you explore the countryside. Without the noise of the gas engine, your Wrangler 4XE can creep through the wilderness quietly enough to allow you to get closer to animal life so you can capture photos or just enjoy the sight of seeing animals being themselves. With the hybrid system, you have 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque to allow you to go anywhere, and you have an available 370 miles of driving range, so you don’t have to worry about cutting your trips short. Pay less for fuel, and gain more freedom.

#6. Audio That Keeps Up With the Outdoors

For some Jeep lovers, music is part of the off-road experience to make it more exciting and intense. An available Alpine sound system has an overhead soundbar so you can still hear tunes with the top off, the subwoofer doesn’t care about getting wet or cold, and the speakers that surround the vehicle—nine in total—make the sound quality better than ever. Enjoy streaming your own music from your smartphone, or use the available radio systems in the infotainment system to enjoy premium quality audio anywhere you go.

#7. Available Jeep utility grid

If you know what a MOLLE storage system is, then this will make you happy. If you never heard of MOLLE before, but you like to be organized, you will love the utility grid. MOLLE is an acronym for modular lightweight load-carrying equipment, and it is a way to organize items you want to hang up so you can get to them easily while they remain secure in a pouch or holster, like a flashlight or pocket knife. A system of straps is attached to the backs of the two front seats, woven in a grid pattern much like the lattice on top of a pie. The grid allows for carabiners, hooks, or other types of attachments to be hung, but you can also hang small items to dry (like socks or gloves). Whether you use attachments designed specifically for the MOLLE system or hang your own items from it, the grid is great for organization junkies.

Time to Find Your Jeep

Each of these Jeep Wrangler features add up to an SUV with more personality than most vehicles on the road today. When you account for the history and culture you get to be part of when you own a Wrangler, it gives you instant access to a whole new group of friends who will be great company for trail riding and learning about Jeep culture. Trail riding clubs across the globe meet for regular off-road fun, and you’ll find people from every age and interest are attracted to the adventure of Jeep life. If you haven’t ridden in a Jeep, you’re missing out on one of the better things about the modern world. Get out there and explore what a Wrangler has to offer!
