Named Rubicon after the famous trail  which is a 22-mile-long route, part road and part 4×4 trail, located in the Sierra Nevada of the western United States, due west of Lake Tahoe.

The Rubicon is perhaps the most capable standard 4WD available.

Standard features include:

• Rock-Trac® Active On-Demand 4×4 System
• Front and rear diff locks.
• 252mm of ground clearance
• Electronic Front sway bars disconnect.
• Heavy duty Dana front and rear axles
• Outstanding approach, rampover and departure angles

The biggest criticism in the past with Jeeps is that while they are awesome off road, they were only just ok on road. That’s also improved. With levels of comfort and luxury more like a large SUV and better ride and handling, they make travelling to your favourite 4WD track pleasurable.

Another recent improvement is the engine, now a 2.0L turbo petrol engine with plenty of performance and a lot better fuel economy.

In a word that is becoming sanitised, homogenised, and electrified, The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon will always have a place in my garage.

The post Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4WD driven for 2026. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Jeep was also the first car I ever drove when I was about 11 or so on the farm.

Fast forward to last week when I drove the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. This latest version has the same basic core belief. That is, it can go almost anywhere.

Named after the famous Rubicon trail in the states the Wrangler has the awesome Rock-Trac on demand 11 4X4 system and an 8 Sp AT.  Jeep continues with the 3.6L petrol engine that has adequate performance but can be thirsty.

With a 4:1 low gear ratio, Tru-Lok^® electronic locking front and rear differentials, heavy duty front and rear Dana axles, 32 inch off road tyres and an electronic front sway bar disconnect, its about the best non modified 4WD you can get.

Inside, unlike the original, it’s a comfortable place to be. Heated front seats, U Connect infotainment system and a 9-speaker premium Alpine audio system all add to the ambience.

The four door Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is priced from $90,450 plus the usual costs.
