Ten years ago, for the 2003 model year, Jeep dramatically raised the bar in off-road capability with the introduction of the Wrangler Rubicon model. Named after one of the most grueling offroad trails in the world, the Rubicon models were the most extreme Wranglers ever produced. And over 10 years, the Wrangler Rubicon has won numerous prestigious awards including Four Wheeler magazine’s “4×4 of the Decade” honor for its unmatched level of all-around capabilities.

“The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition is a tribute to 10 years of Wrangler Rubicon history, and to the Jeep brand’s most passionate enthusiasts,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO, – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.

Under the hood of the off roader, lies the Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine producing 285 horsepower and 260 ft.-lbs. of torque, and this is usually mated with a standard six-speed manual or available five-speed automatic transmission.
