The Wrangler nameplate has been a mainstay since its debut back in 1986.
Following the YJ Wrangler’s debut at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show, the 4x4 became an instant success. Jeep managed to sell 630,000 examples of the first generation SUV by 1995. The second generation TJ model would prove even more popular, with nearly a million units sold during its decade-long run. The JK would arrive at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, a much larger and more livable machine than any of its predecessors.
It takes a special vehicle to sell in the millions these days, particularly when that machine has been largely compromised for most of its history. That said, don’t expect Wrangler fandom to disappear anytime soon. Here’s to a few million more.Born and raised in Metro Detroit, associate editor Lucas Bell has spent his entire life surrounded by the automotive industry. He may daily drive an aging Mustang, but his Porsche 944 and NB Miata both take up most of his free time.
