Jeep outfits the Wrangler Rubicon with hardcore off-road options

We now finally know what the mystery behind the teaser pics posted by Jeep last week is. Just as we surmised, the numbers displayed against picturesque landscapes denoted the main off-road characteristics of the Wrangler Rubicon with a new option pack called Xtreme Recon.

Specifically, the upgraded SUV has an approach angle of 47.4 degrees, a departure angle of 40.4 degrees, a ramp angle of 26.7 degrees, a ground clearance of 328 mm (12.9 inches), and a wading depth of 853 mm (33.6 inches).

Outfitted like this, the four-door Rubicon becomes the principal rival of the Ford Bronco and surpasses it by all five parameters mentioned above.

To lure in more customers, the special Wrangler also boasts 17-inch wheels shod in meaty all-terrain tires sized 35 inches across. It also benefits from tweaked dampers and a body lift that raises it to 380 mm (14.8 inches).

Authorized dealerships throughout the United States already have the package listed for pre-ordering, but prices remain unannounced.
