There is always a bit of confusion for some people about the difference between the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Wichita KS. The origins of the Wrangler Unlimited have contributed to the confusion, particularly for those in the Wichita, KS, area old enough to remember when the Unlimited first rolled out to dealerships.
The History
The first Jeep Wrangler was somewhat modeled after the Willys, American Motors Corporation, and Kaiser-Jeep CJs (Civilian Jeeps) that were used by the Allied troops in the 1940s. The first Wrangler was sold in 1986, incorporating the rigid axles, separate body and frame, and the distinctive front end, flared fenders, and ability to remove doors, windows, and the top of the vehicle.
Over time, different features were added to the Jeep Wrangler. In 2004, a longer wheelbase Jeep Wrangler was offered for sale, and this was called the unlimited. The first Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in the long wheelbase model was the traditional two-door body style.
It was in 2006 that the first Wrangler Unlimited in the 4-door body style was available. Now, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited name designates a four-door model that offers easier access to the rear seat.
Today’s Version
The Unlimited of today offers a range of comfort and technology features that make it a great SUV for the whole family. It offers good cargo capacity, safety and driver-assist features, a top infotainment system, and optional features to add comfort and style to the interior.
Of course, drivers in Wichita, KS, can still expect the rugged off-roading ability that has made the Jeep line famous. The Unlimited simply adds to the options for car buyers to choose.
