Based on the four-door Wrangler Sahara, the Wrangler Moab is just around the corner, sporting an additional $10,905 in terms of pricing. At $51,200 excluding the $1,495 destination charge, it’s one of the more expensive models out there, but the special edition also happens to be ready for the off-road stuff from the factory.
Our friends at the JL Wrangler Forums just about all the details on the newcomer, which will feature the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and the eight-speed automatic transmission as standard. Selec-Trac full-time 4WD, limited-slip differential, steel rock rails and bumpers, as well as black-painted tow hooks are also in the pipeline.

The exterior of the Wrangler Moab is characterized by the Moab decals on the sides of the hood, the dual-vented hood from the Rubicon, gloss black wheels, LED Lighting Group package, and body-color hard top. Stepping into the sport utility vehicle, Jeep is much obliged to treat the customer to leather on the instrument panel, parking brake, and shift knob, 8.4-inch infotainment with satellite navigation and a nine-speaker audio system, as well as all-weather floor mats.

Other content that comes standard includes the Safety Group (ParkSense rear parking assistance, blind spot and cross-path detection) and passive keyless entry. As for optional extras, JL Wrangler Forums lists the Cold Weather Group package, one-touch power top, three-piece hard top, Sunrider soft top in black, and Trail Rail Management system with a floor mat for the cargo compartment.

Available colors for the exterior number nine, as follows: Punk’N, Billet Silver, Black, Sting Gray, Ocean Blue, Firecracker Red, Bright White, Mojito, and Granite Crystal. For added visual pizzazz, Jeep is much obliged to offer the American Flag or the automaker’s 1941 graphic on the hood, as well as black tube steps, hinge-gate reinforcement, and plenty of Mopar decals.

Then again, isn’t $50,000-plus a bit too much for a Wrangler? After all, it’s a huge step up from the previous generations of the off-road utility vehicle, more so if you bear in mind the Wrangler succeeded the CJ in 1986, a no-frills model inspired by the Willys MB that got the ball rolling in the first place.
