The JK was first introduced in 2006 at the North American International Auto Show by Chrysler President Tom LaSorda, who was spectacularly driving a JK through a pane of glass.

A six-speed manual transmission is standard for the 2.8-liter turbo diesel variants. (Five-speed automatic for the four-door variants Sahara and Rubicon). For the 3.8 -Liter V6 petrol engine was a four-speed automatic transmission available, which was replaced in 2012 by the 5G TRONIC transmission from Mercedes-Benz. The equipment series Rubicon is for the harder offroad Use provided. With reinforced axles and a better terrain reduction he should be up to any task. Furthermore, the Rubicon electrically operated locks in the front and rear axles. These are also to be operated from the cockpit. New to all equipment lines are ESP and a rollover protection.

In Egypt, the current generation of the Arab American Vehicles is also adapted to the local market. There is a choice of the model offered as Jeep J8 as a two- and four-seater each in a short or long wheelbase. As motorization come four-cylinder diesel engines of the type VM 2.8L of VM Motori (Italy) used. With a displacement of 2,777 cc, it achieves a power of 118 kW. As a Jeep TJL-J8, the model is also available as a hardtop version with removable roof.

Wrangler JK Unlimited 

The Wrangler Unlimited is the first four-door Wrangler. According to the marketing department of the manufacturer, despite its grown by 523 mm in length and a wheelbase of 2945 mm, the two-door in terms of off-road capability in no way inferior. The slope angles are identical, but the ramp angle is lower (20.8 ° instead of 25.1 °) due to the longer wheelbase.
