2019 Jeep Wrangler fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2019 Jeep Wrangler at 19–24 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 manual describes 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
130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 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 (2019 Jeep Wrangler Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2019 Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the front and rear axle fluid
  • Inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary
  • Adjust parking brake on vehicles equipped with four wheel disc brakes

Additional Maintenance

Flush and replace the engine, intercooler (if equipped), battery (if equipped), and Motor Generator Unit (MGU) (if equipped) coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first
Change the manual transmission fluid if using your vehicle for any of the following: trailer towing, snow plowing, heavy loading, taxi, police, delivery service (commercial service), off-road, desert operation or more than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90°F (32°C)
Change transfer case fluid if using your vehicle for any of the following: police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing
Inspect and replace PCV valve if necessary
Change front and rear axle fluid if using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet, off-road or frequent trailer towing

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions
  • Inspect all door latches for presence of grease, reapply if necessary

Great Lakes owner notes

The 2019 Jeep Wrangler against salt, snow and steep grades

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2019 Jeep Wrangler specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

The smallest 2019 factory size is P245/75R17, the largest P255/70R18. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 17-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

Oil capacity is 5 qt (2.0L) and 5 qt (3.6L), and the manual lists SAE 5W-30 (2.0L) and SAE 0W-20 (3.6L). Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in a West Virginia winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.

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.

Which wheels do the pulling

Every 2019 version in the factory data drives with four-wheel drive. That is a real asset on a lake-effect morning in South Bend or Muskegon and on gravel switchbacks in West Virginia, but it does not shorten stopping distances: winter tires and extra following room still decide how a squall ends. On a used Wrangler, check that the system engages and the tires match in size and wear.

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.

Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light

Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits.

Towing to the lake

The schedule lists manual transmission fluid, transfer case fluid and axle fluid service for frequent trailer towing, starting at 30,000 miles. Whether it is a fishing boat headed for the Ohio River or a pop-up camper bound for the Smokies, the extra heat of towing ages these fluids faster, most of all on long July climbs.

Fuel reserve for storm closures

Fuel capacity: 17.5 to 21.5 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2019 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
