2012 | 2dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
2011 | 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
It has the ability to go back and forth but not tilt the base seat. Firm but not being able to adjust the angle (like electric 10 way) makes a difference for tall and full frame people. I will be looking to adjust angle asap. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
