A
limited-edition version of the Jeep Wrangler has just been revealed exclusively
for the Mexican market. Dubbed the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme-Trail
Rated, the off-roader benefits from a series of modifications over the Rubicon
and will be limited to just 100 units.
For
starters, the Rubicon Xtreme-Trail Rated comes outfitted with steel front and
rear bumpers that can have their outer corners removed to improve the Jeep’s
angle of attack. The steel front bumper also includes two large tow hooks while
the Jeep Trail-Rated Kit comes as standard with a tow strap, D-rings, gloves,
carabiner, and a safety kit. Jeep has also fitted a distinct hood with a subtle
power dome and functional vents.
To
ensure the vehicle is as capable off-road as possible, it includes Jeep’s
latest Rock-Track 4×4 system with Dana 44 front and rear axles and Tru-Lock
electronic differentials. Inside, it doesn’t appear as though Jeep has made any
modifications over other top-of-the-range Wrangler Rubicon models. That’s no
bad thing, however, as the off-roader already comes standard with an 8.4-inch
touchscreen infotainment system, red accents, and a small central display in
the gauge cluster.
All
100 units bound for the production line come fitted with FCA’s 3.6-liter
Pentastar V6 engine that’s good for 285 hp and 379 Nm of torque and
is coupled exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The one and
only color available is Solar Yellow.
Local
prices will start at US$ 998,000 pesos, roughly the equivalent of US$ 53,285 in the
United States.
