Few vehicles let you remove the doors, fold the windshield and drop the roof on a warm afternoon, then button everything back up when the snow rolls in off Lake Michigan. That’s the Jeep Wrangler. Solid axles and Trail Rated 4×4 handle the rough stuff, while a 12.3-inch touchscreen and an available power top keep daily driving easy. Visit Gurnee Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM at 7255 Grand Ave in Gurnee, where our Jeep team helps shoppers from Waukegan, Grayslake, Antioch and Kenosha find the Wrangler that suits their commute and their weekends.
Check the Wrangler listings above, then use the sections below to sort out doors, engines, 4×4 systems and trims.
Choose a Sunrider soft top, a Freedom Top hardtop or the available Sky One-Touch power top, and pull the doors with the tool-free quick-release hinges. A summer run along the lakefront at Illinois Beach State Park feels completely different with the sky overhead.
All Wranglers are 4×4 with a two-speed transfer case. Command-Trac handles the basics, full-time Selec-Trac takes care of slick commutes on its own, and the Rubicon’s Rock-Trac adds a 4:1 low range for crawling.
There’s a 270-hp 2.0L turbo, the familiar 285-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 and, on Willys 392 and Moab 392 models, a 470-hp 6.4L HEMI V8. Jeep states the 392 gets to 60 mph in roughly 4.5 seconds.
Available heated seats, a heated steering wheel and heated mirrors pair well with Selec-Trac when Grand Ave is slick. Jeep also says the current Wrangler has its quietest cabin to date.
A two-door Wrangler is the most nimble on narrow trails; the four-door adds rear-seat and cargo room for families. Each step up the ladder adds trail hardware or comfort.

Match the engine to your daily miles, your towing plans and how much performance you’re after.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) | Max Towing* | Combined MPG* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Turbo I4 (8-speed automatic) | 270 | 295 | Up to 5,000 lbs (4-door) | About 21 |
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 (manual or 8-speed automatic) | 285 | 260 | Up to 5,000 lbs (4-door) | About 19-20 |
| 6.4L HEMI V8 (392 models) | 470 | 470 | Up to 3,500 lbs | About 14 |
Same open-air idea, plus a five-foot bed and up to 7,700 lbs of towing when properly equipped. Great for hauling a boat to the Chain O’Lakes.
Jeep has ended the plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe for North America. Ask about any remaining new units, browse used 4xe models, or consider the turbo four-cylinder Wrangler.
Prefer a smoother highway ride and more cargo room while keeping Jeep 4×4? The Grand Cherokee is the refined family choice.
We help you make the calls that shape how a Wrangler lives with you: two doors or four, fabric or hardtop, Rubicon lockers or Sahara comfort. Our finance team works with a broad network of lenders and can lay out Wrangler loan and lease options, and you can run numbers ahead of time with our payment calculator. Have a vehicle to move? Set up a free appraisal; we’ll buy your car even if you don’t buy from us.
Make it yours with genuine Mopar accessories like lift kits, rock rails and LED lighting, or browse our lifted trucks and Jeeps. For upkeep, schedule service online or stop by our Express Oil Change lane. Prefer pre-owned? We carry used Wranglers too.
Gurnee Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM is at 7255 Grand Ave (IL-132) in Gurnee, a quick hop from I-94 and the Tri-State Tollway. See the Wrangler listings on this page, then call sales at 224-677-7601 to confirm a vehicle or book a test drive.
Sport and Sport S cover value and daily driving, while Sahara focuses on comfort and offers full-time 4×4 for winter commutes. Willys and Rubicon add trail gear, the Rubicon bringing Rock-Trac and two lockers, and the 392 models add V8 performance. We’re happy to park a few side by side so you can compare.
Both have removable tops and doors and strong off-road credentials. The Wrangler keeps a solid front axle, which many trail drivers like for articulation and toughness, and offers V8 power on 392 models, while the Bronco’s independent front suspension can feel smoother on pavement. Driving both on your normal route is the fairest test.
Every Wrangler is a 4×4, and available Selec-Trac full-time 4×4 brings in the front axle automatically when traction drops. Good winter or all-terrain tires make the biggest difference, and frequent underbody rinses help protect against road salt.
Stellantis has phased out its North American plug-in hybrids, including the Wrangler 4xe. Ask us about remaining new inventory or browse used 4xe models; the 2.0L turbo Wrangler is a good gas alternative.
Many buyers target a JL-generation Wrangler with documented maintenance. Inspect closely for rust and underbody damage from salt or trail use, and ask how any lift or modification was installed. We’ll provide a vehicle history report on any used Wrangler you’re considering.
A properly equipped four-door with the 2.0L turbo or 3.6L V6 is rated for up to 5,000 lbs, while two-door and 392 models are rated lower. That’s enough for jet skis, a utility trailer or a small camper; for more, look at the Gladiator or a Ram.
Buying suits drivers who plan to modify, off-road heavily or keep the Jeep for years. Leasing can fit drivers who want a newer vehicle every few years and stay within mileage limits. Our finance team can compare both approaches for your situation.
