Jeep is bringing back the Wrangler Rubicon Recon edition to their lineup. The special-edition rig is equipped with a powerful and efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with eTorque mild hybrid technology. The Recon edition is based on the Wrangler Rubicon and features unique exterior and interior content.
“We are excited to bring the Wrangler Rubicon Recon model back to the Jeep lineup as it represents the ultimate combination of Rubicon off-road 4×4 capability with a unique appearance package that will resonate with our most diehard off-road enthusiasts,” said Jim Morrison, Head of Jeep Brand, FCA North America. “With the return of the Wrangler Rubicon Recon, we’re bolstering the wide appeal Jeep Wrangler already offers by expanding our legendary Rubicon lineup.”
The 2020 Jeep Wrangler lineup sees the return of the popular Rubicon Recon edition and marks the first time it is available on the newest generation Jeep Wrangler (JL). Inside the cabin, Rubicon Recon models feature a Jeep trail bag, red seat belts and PUR-wrapped mid bolsters featuring red accent stitching.

All Wrangler Rubicon Recon models feature next-generation Dana front and rear heavy-duty axles, enhanced off-road rock rails and the Rock-Trac NV241 two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio. Wrangler Rubicon Recon also includes electric front and rear locking differentials, a disconnecting front sway bar and 33-inch Falken Wildpeak Mud-Terrain tires, taking the Wrangler to the highest level of capability.
