Jeep News: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Owners Manual Arrives On the Internet

[William Maley]

If you need a distraction on this Monday, may we point you in the direction of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Owner's Manual and User's Guide. JL Wrangler Forums discovered both books on a public FCA Canada website and has provided PDFs of both for your perusal. 

Is there any new information that can be gleaned? Yes.

• There will be a power-retractable hardtop. However, the top is not removable.
• A 4WD Auto mode that will shift power between the front and rear axles when needed.
• UConnect system featuring pages for off-road settings
• Max towing capacity of 2,000 pounds for 2-door models, 3,500 pounds for 4-door models. 

The manual mentions both the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder and 3.6L V6, but doesn't mention power output. Thanks to an earlier leak, we know the 3.6 will produce 285 horsepower.

I like the dash...steering wheel controls look familiar.
