Used 2008 Jeep Wrangler for Sale near Connecticut

The 2008 Jeep Wrangler is more comfortable and capable than ever before, but is still a compromised daily driver.

The Jeep Wrangler is a unique beast in the automotive world It’s not quite a “normal” SUV and is instead focused on all-out off-road capability over almost everything else. It was redesigned for the 2008 model year with a new four-door model, a new engine, and a host of new tech features.

The Wrangler is targeted at new-car buyers that want the ultimate in off-road capability while retaining some degree of on-road manners. Without a Ford Bronco or Chevrolet Blazer on the market, the Wrangler is left without any direct competition. Instead, buyers may cross-shop vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner, Hummer H3, Nissan Xterra, Toyota FJ Cruiser, and even trucks like the Toyota Tacoma.

The 2008 Wrangler is offered in three trim levels: X, Sahara, and Rubicon. All trims are available in the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door configuration, and Jeep offers right-hand drive models as well (aimed at mail carriers). All Wrangler models use a 3.8-liter V6 engine for the 2008 model year. It produces 202 horsepower in two-door models and 205 horsepower in Unlimited models. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, while a four-speed automatic is also available.
