The JK series 2007 '''Wrangler Unlimited''' was unveiled at the [[Auto show|New York Auto Show]] on April 12, 2006. It is stretched even more than the TJ model, with four doors and 20.6 in (523 mm) added to the JK Wrangler's 95.4 in (2423 mm) wheelbase. It is likely to compete with larger off-road machines like the [[Toyota FJ Cruiser]] and [[Hummer H3]], and will be priced near $21,000.

The Unlimited is offered with either rear- or four-wheel drive and three trim levels, ''X-S'', ''Sahara'', and ''Rubicon''. The lower two levels have the [[Command-Trac|Command-Trac NV241]] part-time two-speed transfer case with an optional [[Trak-Lok]] [[limited-slip differential]], while the ''Rubicon'' uses a [[Rock-Trak]] version of the NV241 with electronic front- and rear-axle locking.

All ''Unlimited'' models use the 3.8 L [[V6]] engine with 205 [[HP|hp]] (153 kW) and 240 ft·lbf (325 N·m). The 6-speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] is the standard transmission, with a 4-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]] also offered. The ''Unlimited'' offers more options and equipment than any Wrangler, including standard [[Electronic Stability Control|electronic stability program]] and optional seat-mounted [[Side Airbags|side airbags]], [[Remote Keyless Entry|remote keyless entry]], [[Navigation System|navigation system]], and Sirius [[Satellite Radio|satellite radio]].

'''TJ Wrangler Unlimited''' Also known as '''LJ'''<br>
In 2004, Jeep introduced the '''Wrangler Unlimited''' with a 10 in (~25.4 cm) longer [[wheelbase]]; it came stuffed with a Dana 44 solid rear axle, 3:73 gear ratio, the legendary '''Command-Trac''' 231 transfer case, and is also known by its unofficial designation of '''LJ'''. However, that version was still 2 doors.
In 2005, Jeep released the '''Rubicon Unlimited''', which had the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon, such as front and rear locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, Solid front and rear Dana 44 axles, and a tough NVG241 transfer case with a 4:0:1 low range set of gears, 245 75R 16 Goodyear MT/R's, a six-speed manual transmission as well, and many other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers.

However, that version still has 2 doors and not many aftermarket accessories existed specisically for it as the model was on sale for only 2 years. But that model proved that there was a demand for a larger Wrangler that could carry cargo as well as passenger without compromising off road performance.

===First 4 doors Generation (2007–present)===

=== Origins (2004-2006) ===
'''TJ Wrangler Unlimited''' Also known as '''LJ'''<br>
In 2004, Jeep introduced the '''Wrangler Unlimited''' with a 10 in (~25.4 cm) longer [[wheelbase]]; it came stuffed with a Dana 44 solid rear axle, 3:73 gear ratio, the legendary '''Command-Trac''' 231 transfer case, and is also known by its unofficial designation of '''LJ'''. However, that version was still 2 doors.
In 2005, Jeep released the '''Rubicon Unlimited''', which had the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon, such as front and rear locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, Solid front and rear Dana 44 axles, and a tough NVG241 transfer case with a 4:0:1 low range set of gears, 245 75R 16 Goodyear MT/R's, a six-speed manual transmission as well, and many other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers.

Jeep Compass

2009-07-23T17:03:07Z

64.254.13.135: /* Criticisms */

The '''Jeep Compass''' is a compact [[crossover SUV]] to be introduced for the 2007 model year. [[Jeep]] made its public debut of the Compass at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January. The Jeep Compass, along with the [[Jeep Patriot|Patriot]] will take over from the [[Jeep Liberty]] as Jeep's entry-level SUVs, and will be one of Jeep's first crossover SUVs. The Compass will have a base price of $15,985 in the United States market. The first Compass was produced on May 30, 2006.

The Compass and Patriot are both based on the [[DaimlerChrysler]]/[[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]] GS platform. These vehicles will be differentiated by their styling and marketing: The Patriot is a traditional 4-door Jeep [[station wagon|wagon]], while the Compass is intended as a sporty "hot hatch" crossover like the [[Toyota Matrix]]. The [[Dodge Caliber]], also based on the GS platform, is a combination of these two segments.

==Criticisms==

The Jeep Compass is the only jeep that can't be classified as "Trail Rated" no mather witch option are taken. Unlike it's Patriot brother, the vehicule is made exclusively for on road use. This make Jeep fans classify it as "not a real Jeep".

==Generations==
==Current Generation: (2007–present)==

The Jeep Compass uses a 172 hp (128 kW) 2.4 L GEMA I4 gasoline engine and will also get a 2.0 litre [[Volkswagen]]-designed diesel engine for the European and Australian markets. The 2.0 litre GEMA engine is available on the 4X2 Sport model. The 2.0 diesel from Volkswagen is the same as used in the [[Volkswagen Passat]]. The car also features an electronically-controlled all wheel drive system with variable torque between speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h) and 65 mph (105 km/h) for optimal handling. However, the base model version has only FWD, a first for any Jeep. The Compass will be the first Jeep offered in many years that isn't badged as "Trail Rated". This indicates that the Compass has not passed the same testing of off-road ability as other Jeep vehicles in terms of traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. Even though [[Chrysler]] has released a high-performance 2008 SRT4 version of the [[Dodge Caliber]], as of the 2008 model year, there is little chance that a SRT Group (Street and Racing Technology)edition of the Compass will be released.

The Compass is assembled in Belvidere, Illinois, where the [[Dodge Neon]] was produced.

As of March 2008, the Compass was the second-worst selling Jeep model, trailed only by the [[Jeep Commander]].

==Criticisms==

The Jeep Compass is the only jeep that can't be classified as "Trail Rated". Unlike it's Patriot brother, the vehicule is made exclusively for on road use. This make Jeep fans calssify it as "not a real Jeep".

==Generations==
==Current Generation: (2007–present)==

The Jeep Compass uses a 172 hp (128 kW) 2.4 L GEMA I4 gasoline engine and will also get a 2.0 litre [[Volkswagen]]-designed diesel engine for the European and Australian markets. The 2.0 litre GEMA engine is available on the 4X2 Sport model. The 2.0 diesel from Volkswagen is the same as used in the [[Volkswagen Passat]]. The car also features an electronically-controlled all wheel drive system with variable torque between speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h) and 65 mph (105 km/h) for optimal handling. However, the base model version has only FWD, a first for any Jeep. The Compass will be the first Jeep offered in many years that isn't badged as "Trail Rated". This indicates that the Compass has not passed the same testing of off-road ability as other Jeep vehicles in terms of traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. Even though [[Chrysler]] has released a high-performance 2008 SRT4 version of the [[Dodge Caliber]], as of the 2008 model year, there is little chance that a SRT Group (Street and Racing Technology)edition of the Compass will be released.

The Compass is assembled in Belvidere, Illinois, where the [[Dodge Neon]] was produced.

As of March 2008, the Compass was the second-worst selling Jeep model, trailed only by the [[Jeep Commander]].
