2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited X 4WD

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X is the most practical way to get into a four-door Wrangler. It has the same go-anywhere hardware as the rest of the JK lineup: a 3.8L V6, a part-time 4x4 system with a low-range transfer case, and a rugged body-on-frame build. The long wheelbase gives you a roomier back seat and more cargo space than the two-door, so it works for daily driving as well as weekend adventures.

This black Unlimited X has an automatic transmission, so it is easy to live with in London traffic and still ready to head north to cottage country or the trails. The X trim keeps things simple and durable, with cloth bucket seats, manual air conditioning, cruise control, a split-folding rear seat and an AM/FM/CD stereo with an auxiliary input. There is very little to break, and it is easy to keep clean after a muddy weekend.

It suits first-time Jeep buyers, couples and small families who want something with personality, and anyone who wants a capable winter vehicle in Southwestern Ontario. Four-wheel drive helps when snow-belt squalls roll off the lakes. Safety equipment includes electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control and curtain airbags.

At $13,995 with 119,910 km, it is priced well below newer Wranglers, which hold their value strongly in Canada. Be realistic about the 3.8L V6: it is dependable and simple, but it is not the most fuel-efficient engine. As with any Wrangler, check the underside for road-salt wear and take it for a test drive to make sure it is right for you.
