Today at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show, the Jeep® brand

attitude and open-air freedom, announcing two updates to the 2021
Wrangler, including the new Xtreme Recon Package with 35-inch tires
and Sunrider Flip Top for Hardtop.
"As an icon built around 80 years of unmatched 4x4 capability,
the Wrangler has always pushed the limit of what a Jeep can do off
road, and the new Xtreme Recon Package with 35-inch tires straight
from the factory pushes that limit even further," said Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North
America. "While the Xtreme Recon Package sets the benchmark for 4x4
capability, the easy-to-use Sunrider Flip Top for Hardtop fortifies
Wrangler's open-air spirit."
Priced at a U.S. manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of
$3,995, the new Jeep Wrangler Xtreme
Recon Package includes:
- LT315/70R17C (35-inch) BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires
- 17-inch by 8-inch beadlock capable wheels
- Swing gate reinforcement
- 4.56:1 axle ratio
- 1.5-inch factory suspension lift with uniquely tuned
shocks
The results: Best-in-class approach angle, departure angle,
ground clearance and water fording capability:
- Approach angle – 47.4 degrees
- Breakover angle – 26.7 degrees
- Departure angle – 40.4 degrees
- Ground clearance – 12.9 inches
- Water fording – 33.6 inches
Customers can now order the Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon package
on the Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 3.6-liter automatic with eTorque
and the Wrangler Rubicon 392. Production at the Toledo (Ohio)
Assembly Plant will start in August.
A new 4.88:1 axle ratio will be available on the Jeep Wrangler
Rubicon later in 2021. When paired with the six-speed manual
transmission, this optional axle ratio delivers a best-in-class
100:1 crawl ratio for increased wheel torque and control when
navigating off-road obstacles. The 4.88:1 axle ratio will be
available for ordering later this year on Wrangler Rubicon two-door
and four-door models equipped with the 3.6-liter V-6
engine.
Sunrider Flip Top for Hardtop
Available on all Wrangler models, the new Sunrider Flip Top for
Hardtop offers a front-row soft top that quickly and easily flips
back for an enhanced open-air driving experience. Priced at a U.S.
MSRP of $895, the Sunrider Flip Top
for Hardtop is constructed from ultra-premium black twill fabric
common on many high-end luxury convertibles, making it capable of
protecting against inclement weather. The new ready-to-install top
