In the span of two weeks, the Jeep_® Wrangler racked up four – count ‘em, four – awards. The most recent? Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine bestowed upon the 2013 Jeep_® Wrangler Moab its coveted “4×4 of the Year” Award, the second consecutive year that the Jeep Wrangler has won.

When the leading off-road-enthusiast publication says something about you, you listen. It doesn’t dole out honors and awards to just any vehicle. Its editors drive vehicles hundreds of miles, evaluate suspensions, drivetrains, transfer case functionality, and off-road performance – on sand, mud, dirt, and rock.

The Jeep Wrangler Moab edition passed those tests, and then some, with its 245/75R17 Goodyear® SilentArmor® off-road tires with Kevlar™ reinforcement and standard Trak-Lok® anti-spin rear differential with an available electronic rear locking differential. When equipped with a manual transmission and a 3.73 rear axle ratio, the Wrangler Moab has a crawl ratio of 45:1.

We wrote about our top seven features of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab, but the list could go on and on. We’re honored and proud of the vehicle and the award. Thanks to the editors of Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine for doing what they do best – pushing vehicles to the limit and living to tell the tale.
