The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and the 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE have traits, such as AWD, that allow them to handle poor conditions and off-road driving. Autos in the mid-size SUV class often protect vital components like the transfer case and transmission with higher-than-average ground clearance and under-side shields. Which of these two stands out in this area?Â
Â
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Ground clearance: 27.4 cm Skid plates: Standard Approach angle: 43.9 degrees Departure angle: 37 degreesÂ
Toyota Highlander XLE
Ground clearance: 20.4 cm Skid plates: Not available Approach angle: 18 degrees Departure angle: 23 degreesÂ
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers more ground clearance. Also, it can handle much steeper inclines thanks to its vastly superior approach and departure angles. The Rubicon is especially adept at meeting off-road challenges because of its Rock Trac 4x4 system, low range gears, and a water fording depth of up to 76 cm.Â
