How Jeep Made the King of Off-Road In the 2022 Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon

For off-road experts, the main objective has always been trying to establish what separates one brand from another. While experts and critics alike are trying to name a top vehicle that holds the mantle to serve as the most popular off-road choice. The Jeep brand has brought in a new wave of contenders for customer’s affection and hard-earned (or easily inherited) money. However, they serve as the auto manufacturer that has put their best foot forward and built the new 2022 Jeep Wrangler V8-powered Rubicon 392. There will also be a plug-in hybrid 4xe. Jeep offers a 35-inch tire package for those that want the raise of their vehicle. Included are 35-inch BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain Tires (LT315/70R17C) on bead-lock ready 17-inch wheels, the Xtreme Recon package adds a new 4.56:1 axle ratio and a factory 1.5-inch lift with new shocks. The total lift is actually more like 2.0 inches over the standard Rubicon since the tires themselves contribute a bit to the Wrangler’s ride height. 

Inside the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon

Inside the Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon package results in the most action packed Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Jeep truly made the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon 392 for the very end of 2021 model year production, but the 2022 model year will offer this package for the Wrangler Willys. The Xtreme Recon package has bolstered tailgate swing-arms to support and counter fatigue from the heavier spare tire. Jeep owners will gain the extra ground clearance translates to what are, at least for the moment, best-in-class figures for approach angle (47.4 degrees), breakover angle (26.7 degrees), departure angle (40.4 degrees), ground clearance (12.9 inches), and water fording (33.6 inches). Jeep brings a 4xe option to the Rubicon trim as well. The Jeep Wrangler offers the Xtreme Recon with added ground clearance, offers a four-wheel-drive, and comes in only a four-door Wrangler version for now, but Jeep might change this with enough customer demand. 

Pricing For the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 

For interested shoppers, the Rubicon, Rubicon 392, or Willys Rubicon trim package for the Xtreme Recon for a price of $3,995. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Willys will begin at $40,930 MSRP (Plus destination fee). Regardless of which vehicle you add it to (Rubi, Rubi 392 or Willys), it’s a $3,995 option. A Willys with only Xtreme Recon starts at $40,930 MSRP (including $1,495 for destination). That puts 35-inch tires in reach of some of Jeep’s more frugal customers, certainly, but unlike Ford’s Sasquatch package, Xtreme Recon doesn’t include locking differentials. They’re standard on the Rubicons, of course, but not available on the Willys, even as an option.
