Jeep Wrangler Two-Door Gets New Off-Road Package

Jeep has introduced a new off-road-oriented kit for the two-door Wrangler with which it gains 35-inch tyres and a 1.5-inch suspension lift kit. Called the Xtreme 35 Tyre Package, the kit is available with the Rubicon and Willy trims and is priced at $4,495 (roughly ₹3.74 lakh). 

Along with bigger tyres and the lift kit, the Xtreme package helps improve the approach angle, breakover angle, departure angle, ground clearance and water wading depth.

Bill Peffer, senior vice president and head, Jeep brand North America, “Our passionate Jeep Wrangler customers are always asking for more – more capability and more adventure – so it’s a natural follow up to the success we’ve seen on the four-door Wrangler to now – for the first time ever – offer the 35-inch Tire Package on the two-door Wrangler.” 

The Xtreme package comes with LT315/70R17C (35-inch) BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires, 17-inch beadlock capable wheels, tailgate reinforcement to manage the extra weight of the spare wheel, a 4.56:1 axle ratio and a 1.5-inch suspension lift kit with differently-tuned shock absorbers. Since 2021, Jeep has been this kit on the four-door Wrangler with the Xtreme Recon package. 

The off-road pack can only be had with the 264 bhp, 400 Nm, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Furthermore, the Rubicon X trim, which is only available with the turbo-petrol engine, will now get the Xtreme tyre package as standard and will be priced at $62,295 (roughly ₹51.77 lakh). 

Jeep has begun taking orders for the Xtreme package with the Rubicon trim, and order books for the Willys trim with this off-road package will begin later this quarter. Production for the Wranglers equipped with this package will begin in March at the Toledo, Ohio plant in North America.
