What We Drove
So much for cheap thrills. Our 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4x4 test truck came well-equipped, though it also carried a rather lofty number on the window sticker. Priced at $31,270, this off-road brute featured Jeep Green Metallic paint ($150), front-side airbags ($490), floor mats ($50), a four-speed automatic transmission with a dedicated skid plate ($825), deep-tinted windows ($300), an upgraded sound system ($350), Sirius satellite radio with 12 months of service ($195), and a locking gas cap ($15). The destination charge was $660. Our week together included regular commuting and a memorable, and unfortunate, off-road adventure.
