The 2018 Jeep Wrangler has been completely redesigned as the Jeep Wrangler JK, according to Steve Landers Auto Group.

The Wrangler JL maintains its classic Jeep Wrangler shape that dates back to the 1940s, with slight modernization to exterior features. The JL weighs approximately 200 pounds less than its predecessors, making it more fuel efficient. Its windshield folds down, too, and there's a convertible power top option for the first time.

The 2018 Wrangler offers 33-inch tires, which is great for off-road treks.

Under the hood is an updated V6 engine that offers 285 horsepower, or an optional four-cylinder engine with 270 horsepower. A standard six-speed automatic manual transmission is available, or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The interior of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has been thoroughly updated with the UConnect system and either a 7-inch or 8.4-inch touchscreen for safety and infotainment connectivity. The JL also has a backup camera, plus more options to control lights and winches, for instance. Bucket seats offer adjustable bolsters and lumbar support for optimal comfort no matter where you ride.

Check out the Wrangler JL at one of the Steve Landers Auto Group locations in Arkansas or Oklahoma and take it for a test drive.
