Used 2008 Jeep Wrangler for Sale nearToronto, ON

The 2008 Jeep Wrangler is more comfortable and capable than ever before, but it's still a compromised daily driver.

The Jeep Wrangler is a unique beast in the automotive world. It’s not quite a “normal” SUV; instead, it's focused on all-out off-road capability over almost everything else. It was redesigned for the 2007 model year with a new four-door model, a new engine, and a host of new tech features.

With the Wrangler, Jeep targets new-car buyers who want the ultimate in off-road capability while retaining some degree of on-road manners. Without a Ford Bronco or a Chevrolet Blazer on the market, the Wrangler is left without any direct competition. Instead, buyers may cross-shop vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner, the Hummer H3, the Nissan Xterra, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, and even trucks like the Toyota Tacoma.

The 2008 Wrangler is offered in three trim levels: X, Sahara, and Rubicon. All trims are available in the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door configuration, and Jeep offers right-hand drive models as well (the latter are aimed at mail carriers). All Wrangler models use a 3.8-litre V6 engine for the 2008 model year. It produces power specs of 202 horsepower in two-door models and 205 horsepower in Unlimited models. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, while a four-speed automatic is also available.
