The 1988 Jeep Wrangler comes equipped with two engines, for power or for normal driving: the 2.5 liter I4 with 121 hp or the 4.2 liter I6, a 177 hp machine. Like its predecessor, the 1988 Jeep Wrangler has two available transmissions, a 3 speed automatic, or a 5 speed manual. Also like the 1987, the 1988 has two doors and four wheel drive, a true SUV for the off-roading fan.
Complete with air conditioning and even (gasp!) a cassette player, the Jeep Wrangler has every comfort you could expect from a 1988 SUV. The second in the line of vehicles that lasted 20 years, the 1988 Jeep Wrangler continued the new tradition of an outstanding SUV. While the 1988s may not be in the greatest condition today, they helped to establish what would become a standard of the SUV world.
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 1988 Jeep Wrangler for its fun driving experience and off-road capabilities. Many appreciate its customization options and the ability to enjoy open air driving, especially during summer. However, some drivers have pointed out issues with performance on the road, gas mileage, and occasional repairs needed, which can be a drawback for certain buyers."
One of the best vehicles we ever owned. It was great to get out during a snow storm and drive and drive. It was also fun to put the back window up,roll the windows down, and cruise in the summer time. If you can only get one vehicle for fun, make it a Jeep !

April 16, 2011The most fun you can have on 4 wheels and register it for the street. No top AND removable doors means more open air than anything on the road other than motorcycles. Stone reliable, large aftermarket, the ORIGINAL. Too bad the Germans killed it. I think they're mad because the original jeep helped win WWII.
September 15, 2008This Jeep is a nice ride however it needs alot of work. the inside is in pretty good shape and the outside condition is about average. needs a new fuel system and the 4wd doesnt work. other than that every thing is good shape and has been well mantained.
June 6, 2011Needed repairs a few times, mainly the rear wheel drive. Gas milage wasnt great. It was fun to drive at the time. First gear seemed to be very short and shifting gears was a bit of an annoyance, freeway driving really bugged me
February 11, 2010it is a great starter car and is very fun when you let the top down it is very versitle and can do almost anything any other vehicle can do i think the car is a great way to start
