Not long now, the JL Wrangler will debut at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. Jeep, for its part, knows it all too well the waiting will soon come to an end, as do enthusiasts of the iconic off-road vehicle. It’s no wonder, then, that someone took to his Photoshop skills to make the waiting game a little bit easier.
Coming courtesy of our friends at JL Wrangler Forums, the featured renderings reveal the extent of the changes brought forward by the all-new model. It’s worthy of highlighting the Photoshop goodness is “based on the most recent JL spy pics” and previews “both the Rubicon and Sport models.”
It’s a certainty the four-door Unlimited (JLU) will outsell the two-door JL in nearly every market where Jeep is present, but you know what? True off-road devotees know which of the two is better off the beaten path. The pickup truck derivative known as the Scrambler (JT), meanwhile, will cater to the needs of those customers who need the practicality of a workhorse.
JL Wrangler Forums’ resident pixel wizard rendered the all-new model in seven exterior colors, as follows: Green, Gecko Green, Sunset Orange, Red, White, Gobi, and Nacho. The latter in Sport attire looks the business, especially thanks to the black-painted roof and black hood vents.
According to the freshest info, production of the Wrangler JL and Wrangler JLU will begin on November 13. The Toledo plant in Ohio is currently tooling up to support production of the newcomer, and the first retail models are expected to arrive at U.S. dealers sometime during the middle of December.
The JT Scrambler, on the other hand, is anticipated to enter production in October 2018. In regard to engine options, three will have to make do: 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, and the 2.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged inline-4. All mills will be offered with an 8-speed auto.
