Aren't Wranglers historically always 4wd?
Just started seeing commercials for the new 4 door Wrangler.
At the end, in the disclaimer section, it says something about prices starting with two wheel drive version ...???
What would be the point of a 2wd Wrangler ???
For the record, I see no point in 2wd Cherokees either ;-)
...
Sure it didn't say 2-door version?
I've seen that add too, it clearly says 2 wheel drive.

I forgot to say, there is also a 4x2 option on the Jeep website, plain as day.

I saw a 4 dr 2WD sahara at the dealer here with power locks & power windows dual tops for 30k dollars... sold immediately WOW
Nope, I have seen it also. The first 'Wrangler' Jeep ever to be sold in Canada comes in 2 wheel drive. Go figure....
A Wrangler with it's light rear end is worse than a sports car in 2 wheel drive in snow.

The old mail Jeeps were 2wd, weren't they? I'd never own a 2wd but if it keeps sales up to the point Daimler keeps Wranglers alive for a few more years I'm all for it. If I ever wear out my '97 I might need to buy a new one.

A fairly standard trick with the ElCamino is to pop off the hatch on the truck's bed and attach lead weights to the seatbelt mounts (same basic frame as a the stationwagon) to give it traction so it won't sit there spinning it's wheels while the other guy is halfway down the block already...
My wife's grandfather used a toolbox full of crap instead.
And speaking about a 2wd 'Wrangler' being worse than a sports car in snow, I would have to add anything more difficult than damp beach sand to that list.

I'm actually quite surprised to hear you say that - I haven't had any problems with the Wrangler in snow. Perhaps down to the tyres (I'm running 31x10.50 BFG MTs) ? Or may be I've just driven more evil handling cars.

Right. They were tough little buggers, too.

A Co. I drove for picked up a couple of those rt. handers for us to use when at the terminal. Fun to drive but better pay attention!!

Yep, saves 2K off the MSRP. Guess I didn't know it was available that way.
More evidence that the 07 4-dr Wrangler is the true replacement for the Cherokee, which was also available in a 2wds version.
The 4 door will probably handle better in two wheel drive in snow than the 2 door would.

The wheelbase on the 4 door is six and a half inches longer than a Grand Cherokee and the overall length is over 13 inches longer and weight 500 pounds more to boot!
On the plus side the is not quite a quarter of an inch extra ground clearance..
