Off-Roading in a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry

The people of Lexington, Kentucky, take off-roading to another level with a plethora of options to escape the beaten path. What better way to get your adrenaline pumping than enjoying time in the wild behind the wheel? So how do you get started? Off-roading requires a particular set of wheels to get the most out of your adrenaline-fueled trip. But not to worry! A used Jeep Wrangler has what you need to make that off-road experience magical!

Some of the most famous areas to visit in your Wrangler include the Black Mountain Off-Road Adventure Area or Rush Off-Road on the eastern end of Kentucky. There is also the Land Between the Lakes Recreation (home to one of the biggest yearly Jeep Jamborees in the United States). Not to mention, there are many smaller off-roading areas in between. Kentucky is rich with opportunities to strut your off-roading stuff.

A Wide Selection to Choose From

In 2016, Jeep Wrangler created an impressive line of models built to meet all of your needs. On top of the standard trims, there were six unique limited edition models, including the Rubicon Hard Rock, 7th Anniversary, Freedom, Black Bear, Willys Wheeler, and Backcountry. Each of these models provided a unique facet to the Wrangler line up, proving that Jeep knows you like no other and is committed to matching your unique style with a vehicle that, though limited editions, brings a timeless quality all its own.

While many of these changes sought to amp-up performance and add a bit of style, they also add to the unique flavor of each used Jeep Wrangler available. The Backcountry is just one of those impressive models designed to live up to its reputation as an off-roading dream. So how do you know the Backcountry can handle your wanderlust? Let’s explore a few features that make the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry Edition a legend!

Backcountry Designed for the Adventurer in You

Are you thinking about traveling out in the elements? Have a thing for all-terrain? Need a vehicle as fun-loving as you are? Jeep knows you’ve got needs above and beyond a basic model and trim. In 2016, the Jeep Wrangler line created a special just for off-road champions. The world has met its match with the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry Edition. This is an athletic piece designed from the beginning to be an award-winning athlete.

Do you need style, safety, and longevity along with strength? You get that and more with this sporty Jeep based on the already capable and luxurious Jeep Wrangler Sahara. The 2016 Backcountry Edition is built for harsh off-road conditions but still retains its style and poise, even on the most challenging trails. This Jeep is an athlete with an engine, committed to crossing bounds and challenging limits.

A Vehicle Built for All-Terrain Fun

Sometimes you have that urge to take a detour onto the road less traveled. We hear you! There is almost no weather or terrain condition too tricky for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry Edition. This is a Jeep not only built to face challenges approaching every side but to do so in style and comfort. From those mountain trails to harsh winter conditions, you can count on this Jeep to take you where you’re headed in style. No matter your destination – whether it’s a cross country trip or just a weekend away in the mountains, along the trails, or through the rain and mud, we’ve got you covered!

How does the Backcountry Edition accomplish this? We added many features to make sure that you never get hung up in places that you didn’t intend. The Mopar rock rails are forged of heavy-duty steel tubes to control rocking and protection on the lower sides and body. These rails will keep your Jeep looking good no matter how rough the trail gets. There are plenty of handles on each side as well, when things do get just a bit bumpy. And when the storms roll in, the Dana 44 rear axle has you covered. The truck also has a Tru-Lok technology-based locker available to handle those slippery slopes.

A Vehicle as Much About Fun as Style

The Backcountry Edition is all about doing it in style. The 2016 edition features Hydro Blue, Black, Bright White, Granite Crystal, and Xtreme Purple colors, with a decal wrapping around the hood on the driver’s side to keep you looking sharp as you conquer even the roughest terrain. Need more style? The fun doesn’t end with the body.

Inside, you’ll find slush mats that can handle all the elements, a nine-speaker Alpine system to give you a premium soundtrack to your adventures, Piano Black vent rings, and grab handles. Need more perks? How about a vinyl console lid, gray stitching on the armrests, and leather seat bolsters? Standard features include Bluetooth Connection, a Premium Sound System, Satellite Radio, Auxiliary Audio Input, and an MP3 player. Hard Disk Drive Media Storage is also optional. These features make sure you look as good as you feel out in the open wild!

The Backcountry Edition Is as Tough as You Are

Underneath the sweet bells and whistles is the Jeep Wrangler that you’ve come to know and love. With a 6-speed manual transmission, an optional 5-speed automatic transmission, and a Command-Trac 4WD system with a 2.72:1 gear ratio, you’ll be able to go anywhere. The engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 boasting 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

An AEV front bumper offers recovery points built-in, Hi-Lift Jack lifting points, and a winch mount. The rear bumper also features a couple of recovery points, a spot for the factory trailer hitch, and Hi-Lift jack points. Are you thinking of going out into the wilderness? The 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry Edition has matching black front and rear 17-inch Rubicon BFGoodrich all-terrain T/A KO2 wheels to keep you steady over rock, mud, and ice. The Backcountry edition gets 17 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.

Safety Features in the Backcountry Edition

We know it’s not enough to have fun. The features that keep you going safely and efficiently are just as vital. The 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry Edition keeps you on the road with standard features such as ABS, a tire pressure monitor, brake assist, stability control, and traction control. And of course, there are plenty of airbags and solid construction to keep you safe should the worst occur. Safety is always important, and it is vital to make sure that your vehicle has all the features that matter most to you at your fingertips so that you can start planning your next big adventure!
