The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Comes Equipped with its First Full-Float Dana Rear Axle
For a vehicle that takes off-roading seriously, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler insists on being able to handle the great outdoors for extended lengths of time. To help evenly distribute the shifting weight of the SUV, the new Wrangler Rubicon models don an all-new next-generation Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle. Normally found on heavy-duty commercial vehicles, the purpose of the full-float axle’s design is to transfer the vehicle’s weight to the axle tube instead of the axle shaft itself, minimizing the pressure and wear being applied underneath.
As an added bonus, the full-float rear axle allows the 2024 Jeep Wrangler models to display a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds on the Rubicon 2.0-liter and 3.6-liter automatic models with a 100:1 crawl ratio.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Has a New Grille and Open-Air Design Options
One of the most recognizable features of the Wrangler is its famous seven-slot grille. You’ve seen it in Jeep logos and it’s one of the first things that come into mind when you think about what the SUV looks like. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler will be wearing a more updated version of the famous grille, but with blacked-out textured slots, gray metallic bezels, and a body-color matching exterior. The new grille is also slimmer in design, allowing its vertical slots to improve engine cooling while providing more room for the factory-installed Warn winch.
Jeep Wranglers have always displayed a spectrum of open-air options. Being able to expose the driver and passengers to the elements is another attractive feature that comes with the SUV’s charm. For the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, customers will have access to a wide selection of removable covers, ranging from the standard premium soft-tops, hardtops (including black and body color), the exclusive Sky One-Touch powertop, the Sunrider retractable cover as a Hardtop and dual-door group with half doors. In other words, there are plenty of customizable options Wrangler customers can use to personalize their vehicles by catering them to their specific off-roading requirements.
