The 2005 Jeep Wrangler is comfier than ever, but it’s still a rugged off-road machine.
Just last year, the Jeep Wrangler saw what might be the most impactful change to its appearance in its decades of life on the auto market. The Wrangler Unlimited added a longer wheelbase to the venerable formula for the first time in the vehicle’s history, making it more appealing and usable for families and daily driving.
The Wrangler is offered with two powertrains for the 2005 model year. The first is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 147 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The upgraded engine is a 4.0-liter inline-six that makes 190 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic.
The Wrangler doesn’t have many direct competitors, but it could be cross-shopped against the Toyota 4Runner, Toyota FJ Cruiser, and any number of 4x4 pickup trucks. In some cases, buyers might also shop a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Land Rover, Kia, Nissan, Hyundai, Chevrolet or Honda sport utility vehicles, off-roaders, and pickups in place of the four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It’s targeted at new-car (and used-car) buyers that want the ultimate in off-road capability.

No real items I can find fault with. The gas tank was replaced due to a common failure during fill-ups with the gas coming back out the filler neck. Overall this is a fun vehicle to drive. Wish they did not change the style.

This is our third Jeep (1992 Wrangler, 1996 Cherokee) and it is the perfect mix. It is nearly as fun to drive as the regular wrangler but has room enough in the back for people and cargo. It also still looks like a Jeep. The newer models look more like a Hummer than a Jeep. Especially in the extended 4 door models. I highly recommend having a soft and a hard top. Our first wrangler was a soft top only and it stinks when the windows frost and you're outside with a bucket of warm water! Make sure to get the rear wiper and defrost. Nothing better in the summer with no top and no doors. I would love to see Jeep reissue a CJ-7 or a Scrambler. With the success of the Challenger and Charger, maybe someone in Toledo will realize that old is new. Go buy a Jeep!
