Created in the heat of battle, the "go anywhere, do anything" Jeep was born during World War II and was branded as a warrior by Allied Forces worldwide. When the first civilian Jeeps rolled out, the brand was positioned as an unchallenged leader in 4x4 technologies at the time. Since the early days of Jeep, the name has been synonymous with adventure, freedom, and enthusiasm for eight decades. Even though there are plenty of rivals today, you'll find that Jeep off-road near Holloman AFB, NM is still the favorite.
The Year of the Wrangler
2021 has been a good year for Jeep, and even more so for the Jeep Wrangler model. We began with the Wrangler 4xe, the first electrified Jeep model in North America, and followed that up with the first V8-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392 in almost 40 years!
Delivering up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, the 2021 Wrangler 4xe produces 21 miles of all-electric range and showcases a 49 mpg equivalent (MPGe). All while keeping the standard features that make the Wrangler legendary. Electrification has enhanced the Jeep's off-road prowess, whereas its creek crossing capabilities remain intact, providing up to 30 inches of capacity.
Drivers looking for a fabulous Jeep off-road near Holloman AFB NM can depend on the Wrangler Rubicon 392 as the fastest and most powerful Wrangler ever. Powered by a supercharged 6.4-liter V8 engine rated at 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, the Rubicon 392 comes standard equipped with a Selec-Trac full-time active transfer case and does the 1-60 mph bit in only 4.5 seconds!
Jeep off-road near Holloman AFB, NM: Meet the Wrangler Willys
Earlier this year, at the 2021 Detroit 4Fest, Jeep grabbed everyone's attention by introducing the 2022 Wrangler Willys with the Xtreme Recon 35-inch tire package. It's very similar to the Ford Bronco Sasquatch package, which also sports 35-inch tires straight from the factory. In addition to the bigger tires, which account for over two inches of extra ground clearance, the Xtreme Recon Package includes:
- A 1.5-inch factory suspension lift with uniquely tuned shocks
- 17x8-inch beadlock-capable wheels (replacing 17x7.5-inch)
- Rear swing-gate reinforcement (heavier spare tire to hold up)
- Low 4.56:1 axle ratio
Wearing a standard black grille, a "Willys" hood decal, a matte black Jeep badge, a "4-Wheel Drive" decal, a black "Trail-Rated" badge, the 35-inch wheels, and the heritage-inspired design, this Wrangler Willys is unlike any other Wrangler that's been around.
More lift and bigger wheels make life easier off-road. When equipped with the Xtreme Recon Package, the Jeep Wrangler Willys brings best-in-class approach and departure angles, ground clearance, and water fording abilities:
Approach angle - 47.4˚
Breakover angle -26.7˚
Departure angle - 40.4˚
Ground clearance - 12.9 inches
Water-fording - 33.6 inches
What Else is in Store for 2022?
For the upcoming model year, the Jeep Wrangler comes in five different models or configurations; all four-wheel-drive: Sport, Willys Sport, Willys, Sport S, and Rubicon. There's a myriad of other packages in addition to the Xtreme Recon package as well.
Of course, the Wrangler isn't the only off-road capable Jeep there is. The new Jeep Gladiator combines the off-road skill of the Wrangler with the usefulness of a pickup. And thanks to its excellent ride and comfort, the Grand Cherokee is the Jeep with off-road chops but paved-road refinement. Even the petite, budget-friendly Jeep Renegade is a genuine off-road contender when adequately outfitted.
