 Two door Jeep Wranglers come in either Sport trim, Sahara trim or Rubicon trim with standard fourwheel drive. A new 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed manual transmission are standard, optional five-speed automatic is available. Electronic stability control with roll control, traction control, brake assist and hill hold control is now standard on all Jeep Wranglers. The Sahara trim offers body color flares, Infinity speakers, remote keyless entry, power windows, security alarm and 18-inch wheels and tires. The Rubicon features equipment that the off-road enthusiasts usually add anyway, which includ heavy duty axles, front and rear electronic locking differentials, 32-inch BF Goodrich mud tires, sway bar with disconnect system, rock rails and a heavy duty transfer case with 4:1 low-gear ratio to top it off.

The now available Freedom Top (Hard Top) which is now a three-piece hardtop that will now allow the panels to be removed above the drivers or passengers side of vehicle. Other options include Dual Top Group, half doors, remote start system, front seat-mounted side air bags, and a multimedia infotainment system that comes with a 28-gigabyte hard drive and navigation system.The interior is still designed to withstand good abuse, and can even be hosed out on the models with cloth seats.

Also new for 2013 is trailer sway damping that is now standard equipment on all trims, and Sahara and Rubicon also receive new wheels and an auto dimming rear view mirror.
Fuel economy is rated at 17/21 mpg regardless of transmission for the two-door Wrangler. Trailer towing is capped at 2,000 lbs.

The suspension for the Wrangler is a five-link coil setup with tuned shock absorbers. This setup works with Dana 30 front and next-generation heavy-duty Dana 44 rear axles. The Wrangler Rubicon model uses heavy-duty front and rear Dana 44 axles.Underbody protection is provided by three strong skid plates, which protect the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan.

Here is a photo of a 2013 Jeep Wranger in True Blue (photo from carlot.com) Looks like it has some upgrades as bigger tires, different wheels, and poss lifted.

Here is photo of 2013 4 door unlimited Jeep Wrangler from (project-JK.com) in the new color Rock Lobster, kind of a bright red/orange mix. I love the color, it looks cartoonish and will really standout on the street.


See a 2012 JK Wrangler Orange Crush color with 37's (Tires) on it. What a difference, the whole stance of the jeep changes, very good look. You could do exactly the same with a 2013 jeep JK.
