2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport

The 2013 Wrangler Unlimited is the four-door version of Jeep's iconic off-roader, offering more passenger and cargo room than the two-door while keeping the same go-anywhere attitude. Its main rivals include the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Nissan Xterra, but none match the Wrangler's removable top and doors for open-air driving. On the road, the Wrangler Unlimited feels truck-like with vague steering and a bouncy ride, but off-road it is nearly unstoppable with solid axles and serious ground clearance. Inside, the cabin is utilitarian with hard plastics and simple controls, yet the front seats are comfortable and the rear bench offers decent space for adults. The Sport is the base trim of the 2013 Wrangler Unlimited, sitting below the Sahara and Rubicon; you get the same rugged hardware but with steel wheels and a soft top instead of upgrades. Under the hood is a 3.6L I6 making 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual and four-wheel drive; it's not fast on pavement but crawls over rocks with ease. The Sport comes with a Command-Trac part-time 4WD system and a Dana 44 rear axle; the trade-off for the low price is a basic interior and a bouncy highway ride.
