TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Jeep Wrangler

Jeep Wrangler Brand Reputation: Pros
YearComment
2015 With some products, people insist on the "real thing." The Jeep Wrangler is such a product. For decades Jeep has continuously evolved its core model with an unwavering focus on off-road performance. They have improved other aspects of the vehicle along the way, but these have always been secondary. Such tightly focused products and brands have an appeal that others can never have. The Toyota 4Runner remains much more focused on traditional SUV stuff than the car-based crossovers (such as the Toyota Highlander) that have largely succeeded them. For 2015 there's even a new TRD Pro version. And the 4Runner does have a loyal following of its own. But this following doesn't begin to compare to the Jeep's in size or enthusiasm. see full Jeep Wrangler review
