The off-roading experts at Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine have awarded the new 2012 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon their top honor: “4x4 of the Year.” Powering the legendary Wrangler to the title was its new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine that transforms the Wrangler’s driving experience on-road, while giving the most-capable production off-road vehicle in the world even more off-road mastery.

"The 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the most competent 4x4 ever produced,” said Rick Péwé, editor-in-chief of Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road. “The Rubicon gives you complete confidence in its terrain tackling abilities. It allows you to take the trail less traveled without worrying about the journey. And it does so while leaving a smile on your face. This is one fun ride.”
