Are all Wrangler models four-wheel drive?

If you are familiar at all with Jeep, then you may have noticed that all the models offer four-wheel drive across their lineups. It’s sort of a point of pride for the brand and it speaks to the long and storied history of the Jeep name, but what about the Wrangler.

All models of the Wrangler for 2021 (and all other model years) come with four-wheel drive standard. There is not two-wheel drive option. Depending on what trim you select, you get either a Command-Trac part-time 4WD system or a Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system. On select models, you can also get a Rock-Trac 4WD system.
