Jeep produces the Jeep Wrangler.
The Wrangler is Jeep’s signature compact and mid-size off-road SUV, introduced in 1986 as the successor to the civilian Jeep CJ line. Its design preserves several traits associated with the original military Jeep, including a removable or foldable windshield, removable doors on many versions, an upright grille and strong four-wheel-drive capability.
“Jeep” is the canonical answer in a quiz, even though Jeep is technically a vehicle marque rather than a standalone automaker. The company histories behind the badge have changed: American Motors developed the first Wrangler, Chrysler acquired AMC in 1987, and Jeep is now part of Stellantis. That corporate history does not change the brand identified as the Wrangler’s manufacturer.
Wrangler generations are commonly identified by internal codes: YJ, TJ, JK and JL. The current JL generation debuted in 2017, while the four-door Wrangler Unlimited greatly broadened the model’s appeal beyond traditional two-door off-roaders. The related Jeep Gladiator pickup uses the Wrangler’s rugged family resemblance.
