![]() ![]() It’s a fine powerplant but is outshined in performance and refinement by the other options. The only reason I see to buy a V6 Wrangler is to get the six-speed manual transmission, as it’s the only powertrain offered with a manual. The only thing missing from the 2024 lineup is the Eco-Diesel. You can choose between a 2.0L I4 turbo (270 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque), 3.6L V6 (285 horsepower, 260 pound-feet), 4xe PHEV (375 horsepower, 470 pound-feet), or 6.4L Hemi V8 (470 horsepower, 470 pound-feet) to power your 2024 Wrangler. ![]() The full test appears in Caravan World #5.2024 Jeep Wrangler 2024 Jeep Wrangler Review (Photo/Bryon Dorr) 2024 Wrangler Powertrain Options Excellent ground clearance and departure angle.More than adequate storage inside and out.And, best of all, it’s a very keenly priced unit. Finally, it’s a rig that very effectively uses space for items such as the kitchen and storage. It comes with a considerable options list but I reckon some features, such as a 240V connection, are going to be a standard request. The Hypercamper is designed from experience in the camper trailer market but has plenty of ‘comfort features’ that will interest caravanners who like the offroad lifestyle but aren’t so keen on towing a large and heavy caravan. There are a number of reasons for that, quality being one of them, but the other being a frequent reviewing of market opportunities – this Reconn Hypercamper is a good example. There has been a market rationalisation since that time, but Lifestyle is still around. In Queensland in particular, there was a large number of builders. When Lifestyle set up for business, it was boom time for camper trailer manufacturers. It has been designed to house something like a Waeco chest fridge and is, of course, nicely located to fit in with the rest of the kitchen bench. Three very bright LED lights make catering at night easy and there are also two 12V charger points.Īlthough my review model didn’t have one, a fridge slide-out is built into the nearside end of the front boot. Whereas the prototype had two compartments with doors fitted into the kitchen walls, the production models all have four compartments, with another two small compartments also fitted into the kitchen ‘ceiling’. Fitted into the benchtop is a combo three-burner cooktop and stainless steel sink as well as an under-bench storage compartment. In particular, the kitchen has been improved. You can, of course, also use the dinette seat along the offside wall to climb up. It’s partially in the way of the door, but is certainly better than no step at all. For clambering in and out of bed, a well-sized hinged step is fitted by the entry door. Taking up all of the rear area is the bed, which is set at a level to make full use of the screened windows that surround it on three sides. Inside, the Hypercamper has quite a simple but effective layout. Although it has camper trailer origins, it has caravan set-up times and the work largely consists of the usual items such as levelling-up once the van is unhitched and unclipping the pop-top roof so that it can be raised. One of the more interesting features of the Hypercamper is that it takes little time to set up. At the offside front, two other hatches house the comfort items – a Truma water heater and an external shower. It’s all lined with marine carpet and lifting the ply base gives access to the house battery and water tanks. The latter is really the under-bed area and is a somewhat larger storage space than is found in many caravans. ![]() ![]() Then there are another two large doors on either side – the nearside one is the kitchen and the offside is a large storage space. Above that is a tunnel boot with doors on both sides. For starters, there is a very large front boot with access doors on either side and across the front. The Reconn Hypercamper has a number of external doors and they give a big clue as to how this camper is designed. ![]()
