Jeep® Announces Pricing for All-New 2005 TJ Unlimited Rubicon
Monday September 27, 12:21 pm ET
- Jeep expands TJ lineup - A Jeep TJ Rubicon with twice as much cargo space;
room for family, friends and gear - Rubicon capability and Unlimited
versatility for $33,250
WINDSOR, ON, Sept. 27 /CNW/ - Jeep® TJ, the heart and soul of the Jeep
brand, dominates the small sport utility segment. Jeep, the "Go Anywhere,
Do Anything" brand that introduced a longer-wheelbase TJ Unlimited model
earlier this year, plans to conquer even more territory with the
introduction of its all-new 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon this fall.
Jeep announced pricing today for the all-new 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon.
For $29,395 Jeep delivers extreme, rugged off-road Rubicon capability in
TJ's new long wheelbase Unlimited model, which is 381 mm (15 in.) longer
than the standard Jeep TJ with twice as much cargo volume.
"Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon is the ultimate vehicle in terms of versatility,
whether it's used for serious off-roading or to transport family, friends
and cargo," said Ron Smith, Vice President, Marketing, DaimlerChrysler
Canada. "With its extended overall length and added cargo space, Jeep TJ
Unlimited Rubicon offers a smooth and comfortable ride even in extreme
conditions, without sacrificing any of the open-air fun and freedom
associated with driving a legendary Jeep."
The 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon's off-road system includes front and rear
Dana model 44 axles with "air-actuated" Tru-Lok locking front and rear
differentials, a Rock-Trac 4:1 low-range transfer case, four-wheel disc
brakes and 31-inch Goodyear TJ "Maximum Traction/Reinforced" tires, which
provide an extra one-half inch of ground clearance versus the standard
Jeep TJ Unlimited model.
"Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon's unique factory off-road system is another
chapter in the TJ value story," Smith said. "Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon
offers extreme off-road capability at approximately half the price of
modifying the vehicle with aftermarket hardware. Combine that with Jeep
engineering, testing on the world's most demanding trails, Jeep's
5-year/100,000-kilometre Powertrain Limited Warranty and significantly
more space, and it's clear the all-new 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon delivers
the ultimate combination of capability, versatility and value."
More Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon Features
In addition to extended length and increased cargo volume, the all-new 2005
Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon offers improved on-road comfort due to improved
shock tuning and a 2,616 mm (103 in.) wheelbase, which is 254 mm (10 in.)
longer than the original TJ.
A new dash pad, hood pad and thick rear carpet padding in the cargo area
contribute to a 30 percent quieter ride in Jeep TJ Unlimited models.
An innovative new Sunrider soft top, with a "sun roof" in addition to
the full top-down option, is offered on the Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon. The
Sunrider top includes larger deep-tinted windows, providing second-row
passengers better visibility.
Inside, access to the second row is improved with tip-and-slide front seats
on both driver and passenger sides. Other interior highlights include an
additional power outlet on the dash and an optional security group that
includes an electrochromatic rearview mirror with temperature/compass
display, map lights and Sentry® Key.
Best-In-Class Towing; Durable Power
Jeep TJ Unlimited models boast best-in-segment towing capability of 1,588 kg
(3,500 lbs.), which is 680 kg (1,500 lbs.) more than the standard Jeep TJ.
The Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon is powered by the 190-horsepower 4.0-litre
Power Tech I-6 engine, available with a four-speed automatic
transmission or new, standard six-speed manual transmission.
Jeep Brand
Jeep TJ Unlimited is now available in Jeep dealer showrooms. The all-new
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and new Jeep Liberty Renegade and Jeep Liberty
Diesel models launch this fall.
Jeep Trail Rated®
Jeep Trail Rated® communicates the legendary Jeep capability that is
designed into every Jeep 4x4. The Jeep Trail Rated badge indicates that the
vehicle has been designed to perform in a variety of challenging conditions
identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction,
ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. As the
brand's lineup expands, Jeep-branded vehicles will continue to be what they
have always been: the most capable.
