We all know that the Jeep model was truly the first capable SUV on and off the road. But what is really impressive is how true the vehicle has stayed to the heart of its past brethren. As other SUV models continued to move away from being off-road capable and eventually into more family oriented, fuel-efficient crossovers, Jeep has stayed true to its roots as THE choice for an off-road expedition. This is incredibly evident in the iron-horse of the lineup, the Jeep Wrangler.
Jim Repp, vehicle development manager for the Wrangler, explains, "The last time we did research, 85 percent of Wrangler owners reported going off-road."1 This percentage, however, includes drivers of both the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the two-door Jeep Wrangler. If you only count the owners of the two-door models, nearly 93 percent reported taking their vehicles off-road!
Wrangler drivers aren't just in love with off-roading though, they're also in love with their vehicles. Their affection is often visible with the various modifications and equipment they add to their Jeep. In fact, Repp states that "Wranglers are modified 10 times more than any other vehicle."2 Many of the owners find their inspiration for the modifications by the brand's yearly even in Moab, in which heavily-modified and very unique versions Jeep models are on display.
So while there may other vehicles that claim to be off-road capable, there's still no substitute when you hit the trails than a new Jeep model.
