A dash in the printed guide means the feature is not available, shown here as NA.
The guide lists the tilt/telescoping steering column twice with the same wording; both entries are kept as printed.
Under Fender Flares the parent row carries its own codes and the Black, one piece row prints all dashes, as in the guide.

2018 Jeep Wrangler fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2018 Jeep Wrangler at 18–24 MPG combined; the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo (4WD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (4WD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure: Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare: The sheet lists no spare; the manuals describe a matching full-size spare with a pressure sensor and a compact or non-matching full-size spare without one, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque: 100 ft-lb (135 N·m), 1/2" x 20 / M14 x 1.50 thread, 19 mm / 22 mm socket
Pressure monitor: A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2018 All-new Jeep Wrangler Specs, 2018 Jeep Wrangler Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

Great Lakes owner notes

What counts on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler from Michigan to Tennessee

We read the 2018 Wrangler owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Indiana driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.

Sidewall height versus broken pavement

Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P225/75R16 size, a true winter tire on 16-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.

What the manual says about oil

The fluids table calls for SAE 5W-20, SAE 5W-30 (2.0L) and SAE 0W-20 (3.6L) at 5 to 6 qt (3.6L) and 5 qt (2.0L), with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 600 cold-cranking amps. A Wrangler left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2018 lineup includes four-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Snow plowing is a listed condition

Snow plowing is named in this schedule as one of the uses that calls for earlier fluid service. Keeping a long driveway or a cottage lane open through a west Michigan winter is precisely the kind of work that line describes, so log plowing hours alongside towing.

Pressure, potholes and the thermometer

Whatever size the Wrangler wears, from the factory P225/75R16 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 10.5 to 11.2 qt (3.6L) and 10.3 qt (2.0L) of OAT coolant. Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

Tank size for hill country

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler holds 18.5 to 22.5 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.
