2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited safety

Wrangler Unlimited has a 118" wheelbase. That’s not “short” by any definition of the word. Plus the 2018 Wrangler Unlimited has ESS, Electronic Stability Control, as well as Tow Sway Control, both of which are pretty aggressive at not letting idiots flip the vehicle. It also has an integrated roll bar that is pretty effective in most rollover accidents.

That said, it has a towing capacity of 3500 pounds, which can be an issue with many loads. And a trailer is nowhere near as convenient as a truck bed. And to be blunt, the interior of the Wrangler is cramped. It’s a narrow vehicle with narrow footwells and narrow doors.

The Wrangler is sensible only if you’re intending to do hard core 4x4 rock crawling. If you’re just going to drive it in snow, maybe when towing, you’re better off with any number of SUV’s that are actually designed for that.
