"The '12 Wrangler is actually the culmination of a two part refresh
that began with the 2011 model. Last year, the cabin was rid of
plastics as unyielding as the boulders we're crawling over. It
might not have reached a Bentley level of poshness, but the
interior now favors dash wipes over garden hoses. Along with new
heated mirrors and seats and added sound deadening, the Wrangler's
polish continues outside when optioned with the body-colored
hardtop. In sum, it is a convincing enticement to customers holding
reservations about living day to day with a Wrangler." Car and
Driver, Oct. 2011
For consignment, a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4x4 with a title
verified 75,942 actual miles. According to our consignor, this Jeep
comes with an extended and transferrable drivetrain warranty that
in August of 2026 will have two years remaining. This clean rig was
sold in Pennsylvania and has been here ever since.
Exterior
A bright and pleasing coat of Cosmos Blue colors the steel panels
of the jeep while a black hardtop with tinted windows rises above
it. In fact, black is the contrasting color choice for the wheel
flares, side steps, mirror, bumpers and grille which in this case,
is an aftermarket unit with LED lights built in. Extras on this rig
include a bug guard on the hood and rain guards on the windows.
Smoked LED tail lights keep the black and blue theme going and
while we're back here, we'll note the mounted spare, hitch
receiver, and tow hook. 17-inch wheels carry LT rated tires with an
early 2017 date code. It's all in great shape with some
imperfections noted as a stain inclusion on the hood, bubbling on
the paint of a wheel, and some glue residue on the sill.
Interior
Plastic formed black door panels are smooth and easy to clean and
have robust hardware and both present in nice condition. Neoprene
covers protect the cloth bucket seats up front and the same
material and pattern is used on the rear bench, also in great
shape. It's a circle fest up front where the airbag is contained in
the central hub of the thick steering wheel, round gauges reside
just ahead, round air vents are a'plenty, round knobs exist for the
A/C and the radio and even the shifter is cylindrical rather than a
T of any kind. It's all based in a matte black plastic background
and it all looks great. Protective weather mats cover the black
carpet up front and also in the cargo area behind the rear seat,
accessible via a side-hinged door.
Drivetrain
Undo the latches and reveal the 3.6 liter 24-valve VVT Pentastar
six cylinder putting out 285 horsepower. It's mated to a W5A580
5-speed automatic transmission routing power to the Dana 44 in back
and Dana 30 up front, both axles with 3.21 gears.
Undercarriage
While it shows some patina, the otherwise clean underside indicates
this rig may not have seen a lot of trail time. A single exhaust
runs through the original equipment muffler and exits under the
rear bumper. A 4 link with coil springs is used on both ends and
power disc brakes are on all four wheels.
Drive-Ability
With the flat terrain of our test loop, we don't put the Wrangler
to its crawling capabilities but reading reviews of this model
reveal that it is indeed a proficient off-roader while maintaining
good street manners which is what we experience. No complaints here
as the Jeep runs, drives and tracks without issue and all functions
on board operate as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents
that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Here is a well cared for and clean Jeep Wrangler with some
attractive add-ons to create that individual appearance that Jeep
owners aim for and this one is not over the top in any way. That
is, until you hit the mountains!
