Jeep Wrangler 3.6L Automatic 2022

The High Tide package is built on Jeep's Wrangler Unlimited Sport model with the 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and eight-speed automatic, meaning it doesn't get locking differentials, a disconnecting anti-roll bar, or any of the Wrangler's myriad other powertrains. High Tide does include the Xtreme Recon package, though, which brings 35-inch BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, crammed under extended fenders with the help of a 1.5-inch suspension lift. The axles get 4.56:1 final-drive gearing, the rear end gains a limited-slip differential, and there are a few other Mopar accessories, including a redesigned hinge gate on the rear-mounted spare tirebasically an exoskeleton that supports the ginormous spare-tire assembly. That detail recalls a lament we once heard from a Stellantis engineer to the effect of, "You spend a million dollars to properly engineer a one-inch lift, and then people go out and install a six-inch lift that was developed in two weeks by some guys in a garage." Whatever the vices of the Xtreme Recon packageand we'll get to thoseyou at least know that it's safe and you won't shear a driveshaft because somebody forgot to consider the angle of a U-joint.
