2003 Jeep Wrangler reviews and buying guide.

2003 Jeep Wrangler resources:

2003 Jeep Wrangler (Rubicon Edition)

The 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon edition is made for extreme off-roading. If this specialized vehicle can't handle the terrain you're looking to conquer, chances are you need a tank. One of the finest models in the long tradition of Jeep Wrangler excellence, the Rubicon is the culmination of extensive research and high-performance engineering. With a heavy-duty construction, excellent traction control and handling and a comprehensive safety system, the Rubicon addresses all the right areas when it comes to off-road adventures.

Under the Hood

The Rubicon comes equipped with a steady 4.0-liter V6 with 190 horsepower at 4600rpm and 235lb-ft of torque at 3200rpm. Jeep's Command-Trac 4WD system is standard, giving the Wrangler superior traction control. Also featured are locking front and rear differentials, front and rear Dana model 44 axles and a 4:1 low-range transfer case. These Tru-LokTM locking differentials use a dash-mounted rocker switch, which allows the driver to lock the rear axle and toggle the front axle locker on and off for improved maneuvering. When engaged, this feature mechanically locks the axle shafts together to drive all four wheels at the same speed. When unlocked, the rear axle has a torque-sensing limited-slip feature to provide better traction and handling on-road.

The LT245/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler "Maximum Traction/Reinforced" 31-inch tires on the Rubicon are the biggest ones available in the Wrangler factory. They feature a beefy tread pattern that wraps around the sidewall to help grab ledges along the trail. This state-of-the-art off-road tire includes a three-ply sidewall and advanced silica compound for excellent durability and puncture resistance. New 16-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels are designed with a dished face to protect the wheel from off-road obstacles.

In addition, next generation dual front airbags, 4-wheel disc brakes, driver's side constant force retractor, self-adjusting low-tension three-point belts and height-adjustable shoulder belts are all standard on the Rubicon.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

Everything about the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is geared towards maximum performance. The same is true of its design. The Rubicon features unique exterior design cues and will be available in all 10 Wrangler exterior colors. To let the world know it's there, a "Rubicon" graphic is prominently placed on each side of the hood. Heavy gauge diamond plate sill guards are bolted to the bodyside to protect rocker panels from damage in off-road situations.

The standard soft top can be replaced with a hardtop. Other options include an engine block heater, air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM CD player with an upgraded sound system and a theft-deterrent system.

In terms of off-road vehicles, it doesn't get much better than the 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon edition.
