2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. This is the top of the line Jeep model for 2012 and has every single option available for 2012. It is the perfect all around vehicle - a convertible in the summer, a 4x4 in the winter, and a 4-door to haul around kids or friends. The only think it's lacking is a big 400hp hemi engine and then you can hit the track. The 285hp pentastar does just fine and the 5 spd auto is a huge improvement over the previous 4 spd auto in the 2007-2011 Jk's. Cosmetically the vehicle is in great shape. It has the color matched hardtop and fenders. The hardtop color matched is a cool option. The matched fenders look really nice but the only drawback is that they are painted so they are more susceptible to getting scratched vs the unpainted black ones. Given the drawback I would still go for the painted ones. The interior is in perfect condition. Leather heated seats, front and side airbags are 490 option. It has navi, bluetooth phone, and the larger hard drive for uploading MP3's. It also has a set of ACE rock rails which is a big help for shorter people. It has 33.5" nitto terra grappler tires which are a lot more comfortable and handle better than the stock 32" BFG mud terrains - they have 2000 miles on them. With the 4.10 gears the jeep is at 2600 RPM's on the highway which is the sweet spot for good gas mileage - the larger tires increased the gas mileage on average by 1.5 MPG. It has the towing package and a front tow hitch in case you want to hook up a hitch but not mount it permanently. If you're looking at this ad I would assume you are familiar with the Rubicon - heavy duty dana 44 axles, electronic front sway bar disconnect, front and rear electronic lockers, and a low ratio transfer case. All great options for a serious offroader or a hurricane sandy escape vehicle - in all honesty for my use I tried the lockers once in the snow and maybe put it in 4wd a total of 5 times. I'm not a big offroader and used this more to lug around my kids. With a 3rd child I'm looking to upgrade to a larger SUV which is the main motivation for selling it. The title is free and clear and in my name. Please feel free to ask any questions or come and schedule a test drive and look at it. It has ben dealer maintained and is a very clean well kept Jeep.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Weekly Recap: Hackers demonstrate auto industry's vulnerability

Sat, Jul 25 2015

There's always been a certain risk associated with driving, and this week cyber security came into focus as the latest danger zone when researchers demonstrated how easily they could hack into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee from across the country. The incident raised concerns over the vulnerability of today's cars, many of which double as smartphones and hot spots. During the now-infamous experiment, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller infiltrated the Jeep's cellular connection and were able to control the infotainment system, brakes, and other functions. The hackers told the Jeep's maker, FCA US, of their findings last year, the company devised a software fix. Though Valesek and Miller hacked a Cherokee (like the one shown above), several FCA products, including recent versions of the Ram, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, and Viper were also affected, illustrating potentially wide exposure that could reverberate across the sector. "For the auto industry, this is a very important event and shows that cyber-security protection is needed even sooner than previously planned," Egil Juliussen, senior analyst and research director for IHS Automotive, wrote in a research note. "Five years ago, the auto industry did not consider cyber security as a near-term problem. This view has changed." Hours after the Cherokee hacking incident was publicized on Tuesday, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduced legislation to direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Trade Commission to establish national standards for automotive cyber security. The bill also would require vehicles to have a cyber-rating system to alert consumers how well their cars' privacy and security are defended. "Drivers shouldn't have to choose between being connected and being protected," Markey said in a statement. "We need clear rules of the road that protect cars from hackers and American families from data trackers." Though FCA and its Jeep Cherokee were in the spotlight this time, they were just the latest to showcase how automotive technology has advanced faster than safety and regulatory measures. IHS forecasts 82.5 million cars will be connected to the internet by 2022, which is more than three times today's level. "Cyber-security will become a major challenge for the auto industry and solutions are long overdue," Juliussen said.

Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?

Wed, Jan 21 2015

This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.
