Leaked 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Owner's Manual Tells All
The owner’s manual for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has leaked online, revealing just about everything you could ever want to know about the new SUV.
The owner’s manual includes exterior and interior images of the latest generation of the Wrangler along with information on the powertrain, interior features, roof configurations and much more. It confirms that both a 2.0-liter turbo four and 3.6-liter V6 engine will be offered in the Wrangler (power figures still aren’t available) along with both a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions. Also of note is the removable roof, which is also available as a power-folding soft top, the removable doors and the folding windshield.

The Wrangler JL will get Fiat Chrysler’s fourth-generation UConnect C display system, available with 7-inch or 8.4-inch displays. Entry-level models will feature UConnect 3 with a 5-inch display. Certain models will feature ‘off-road pages’ within the UConnect system, which shows the pitch and roll of the vehicle, suspension articulation, and steering angle through a digital animation. The instrument cluster will feature a 3.5-inch display as standard, but a 7-inch digital instrument display will be available on certain models. The cabin will also feature a start-stop button, steering wheel-mounted audio and display controls and an available 4G wi-fi hotspot.

Looks like I'm keeping the TJ another year or two. No diesel? No sale.
are these "leaks" intentional PR moves by the FCA PR dept, or are they the work of really incompetent people working for the company? Does FCA/Jeep have their own "Snowden" working among them, hiding in plain site? Or, maybe their IT department got confused and put it on the wrong server. It is possible someone mailed it to themselves, but hit "reply all" on the email instead of "forward"...in this day and age, it is hard to believe these "leaks" still happen on accident. The big question, will the responsible party still have a job next week?
