Very few cars have a cult of following like the Jeep and the reasons are not far-fetched. The Jeep has a background steeped in the Second World War but has evolved since then into something more interesting. Check out 10 reasons you might want to include Jeep cars on top of your car shopping list.
1. Spacious
A Jeep provides a lot of space for both tall people and their luggage. If you choose to purchase the 2019 Wrangler, you will enjoy a 12.9 cubic feet of floor space with the rear seats up. You can enjoy 31.7 cubic feet floor space when folded down.
This Jeep provides plenty of space for goods for a road trip or any adventure when the seats are folded down. Even when the seats are in, you and your passengers can still enjoy a lot of legroom with their belongings.
2. Versatility
Whether you want a car for adventure or you want a car that can deal with the everyday commute, the Jeep is perfectly right for you. A Jeep is the best car for a trip with many passengers; for mudding, camping and any other adventure.
Jeeps offer both durability and comfort and nothing is allowed to get in the way of it – not even muddy or stony road.
3. Smooth Ride
It is a tribute to the Jeep that it can withstand any condition without riding bumpy or weak. Some of the best Jeeps, like the Wrangler Unlimited, have a Command-Trac 4-wheel-drive transfer case, high-pressure gas shocks, Quadra-Coil suspension and Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential. These help the Jeep remain sturdy, no matter the obstacle.
With regular maintenance of tire pressure and oil, your Jeep will always give a smooth ride.
4. Great Features
Wrangler Unlimited comes with fog lamps, power steering and two hooks. It comes with Cruise control, 7-speaker stereo, optional hard or soft top and a sunroof. These features frame the Jeep as both modern and powerful.
5. Quiet Resilience
Trucks and large vehicles have engines and tyres that bark from miles away. But not Jeeps. Their wheels ensure that they remain quiet on traditional roads, and this quiet resilience is also shown while they are off-roading.
The additional carpeting and padding in the cargo areas and dashboard and hood of most Jeeps also contribute to the quiet ride.
6. Amazing Towing Capacity
A Jeep vehicle like the Wrangler Unlimited has the capacity to tow an object of close to 3500 lbs. The Jeep Compass, though a smaller SUV, still packs a punch.
With a maximum towing capacity of 2000 lbs, the Compass is capable of towing small campers on whatever journey you and your passengers choose to embark on.
7. Incredible Safety Features
The long list of safety features the Jeep is equipped with makes it the best family car. It has child seat tether anchors, dual frontal airbags, three-point seatbelts and front disc and rear drum brakes.
When towing a vehicle, additional safety features like the Trailer Sway Control helps to brake the pressure on alternating wheels. It adjusts the engine throttle to maintain trailer and towing stability and keep you safe.
8. Affordable Maintenance
Jeeps have the good fortune of having affordable spare parts and accessories that are available everywhere. Some of the parts are universal, in that a part of one Jeep can fit perfectly with that of another Jeep.
9. Unique History
The Jeep has a rich history that dates as far as World War II. But the Jeep Wrangler officially started in the 1980s. Both are focused on off-road abilities.
Prior to the production of the 1941 Jeep, the word ‘jeep’ referred to recruits or vehicles in the US Army slang. But with the production of the cars, the word changed to a light military 4×4. They are the oldest four-wheel drive mass-production vehicles now known as SUVs.
11. Off-Road Abilities
Jeeps are known for their unique off-road abilities. They can move on any terrain. The modern Jeep has all-new aluminium and steel frame system. This gives it better fuel economy and makes it lighter, yet still tough. Wherever the road goes, the Jeep goes.
