2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition

Jeep has unveiled the Willys Wheeler Edition, a special Wrangler inspired by the first post-war civilian CJ models of the 1940s.

Cosmetic differences compared to the regular Wrangler Sport include high-gloss black 17” wheels, deep tint rear windows for the soft top, ‘Willys’ bonnet decals and a gloss black finish for the bumper inserts and grille.

The upgraded features aren’t just decorative, though. Also fitted are BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain LT255/75R17 tyres, a Dana 44 rear axle, a Trac-Lok limited-slip differential, rock rails and a trail kit consisting of a tow strap, gloves and a D-ring.

Power comes from the usual 3.6 Pentastar V6 engine that can be paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional five-speed automatic transmission.

Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either.
