A four wheel drive vehicle produced by Jeep

The Jeep Wrangler is the more 4x4 geared range from Jeep. Most recently produced but has a long history of makers, starting in the world war. The most recent variation is the JK range, and started in 2007, although the engine was updated in 2012 from the 3.8l V6 to the 3.6 V8 Pentastar - apparently more efficient and more powerful (although opinions are varied).
