This summer’s Chicago Auto Show welcomed the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with its new Xtreme Recon package. This new package offers 35-inch tires straight from the factory, further improving approach angle, departure angle, ground clearance and water fording capability.
This new package also includes an industry-first 100:1 crawl ratio from the factory. This will enable off-road adventurers maximum capability when you have to get through an impassable obstacle.
The new Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon Package also include:
- LT315/70R17C (35-inch) BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires
- 17-inch by 8-inch beadlock capable wheels
- 4.56:1 axle ratio
- 1.5-inch factory suspension lift with uniquely tuned shocks
These features combined will enable the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to conquer all obstacles and terrain challenges beyond the Twin Ports. Such as certain off-road parks in Northern Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and beyond the Iron Range in Minnesota.
Add More Capability To A Trail Rated Package
The results are the best-in-class approach angle, departure angle, ground clearance and water fording capability These figures are:
- Approach angle – 47.4 degrees
- Breakover angle – 26.7 degrees
- Departure angle – 40.4 degrees
