There’s nothing like a summer road trip! Windows down, music up, a warm breeze, and no worries. When you’re in a Jeep, the scene is even sweeter.
Explore how a Jeep Wrangler can make every summer adventure one to remember, and how to pack up your Jeep for any destination.
Setting the Scene for Your Summer Adventure
Summer driving is about seeing where the road takes you–even if it means going off-road now and then. For that, there’s only one option: the Jeep Wrangler.
The Wrangler is an American icon that originated on WWII battlefields. In the decades since, it has become a symbol of adventure. Not quite an SUV or a truck, but certainly not a car, it’s in a category all its own. It perfectly blends the toughness of a truck with the carefree spirit of a convertible into a vehicle that you can drive all year long. But you’ll probably only be able to enjoy it to its full extent in the Spring and Summer.
Here’s how a Jeep can help you have the best summer ever year after year.
Camping Gear: What to Pack for Your Jeep Wrangler Adventure
Preparing for your (Wrangler) Adventure
There’s nothing like a road trip to a campsite! Camping is a classic summer activity, and car camping is one of the easiest ways to get out there. Car camping typically refers to a campsite you can drive right up to. This allows you to have everything you need close at hand.
To determine what you need to pack for your camping trip, create an itinerary. How long will you stay? What will the weather be like? If you’re road-tripping, will you camp on your way there and back?
Accessories to Bring for the Trip
Of course, you’ll want to bring a tent (bonus points for a rooftop tent), blankets, clothes, hygiene products, and medications, but what else do you need to make your trip fun and comfortable? Here are some of our favorites:
- Portable Light - This makes navigating your campsite easier at night, but lights are also important for safety. Critters are less likely to sneak up on you when you can see them first!
- Bluetooth Speaker - There’s nothing like your favorite tunes around the campfire. Opt for a solar-powered speaker to avoid having to carry extra batteries or charging cords.
- Camping Stove - While cooking over a campfire is fun, you’re limited in what you can prepare. A small camping stove will give you more meal options.
- Coolers or Portable Fridge - Coolers can keep your food and drinks cold, but they also give you a safe place to store leftovers. You don’t want to throw them out at your campsite since that will attract animals.
- First Aid Kit - It’s always a good idea to keep the essentials on hand. At a minimum, we recommend bandages, antibiotic ointment, antihistamines, ibuprofen, and calamine lotion.
- Water and Fuel Storage - You’ll need plenty of water to drink, cook with, and wash up with, so be sure to calculate how much you need ahead of time and come prepared. The same goes for fuel.
Why Jeep Wrangler’s are Standout Roadtrip Vehicles
The Jeep Wrangler is the ideal road trip vehicle. Here’s why:
- It's Great on Gas. Compared to other vehicles in its class, it gets impressive gas mileage: typically around 25 MPG on the highway. We’re definitely on board with fewer gas station stops.
- It's Roomy. With plenty of legroom and headroom, your passengers can stretch out and relax. The standard seats are comfortable on their own, but there is a wide range of aftermarket seats to make your Jeep even more comfy.
- It’s Full of Features. Enjoy high-tech features like Uconnect® 5 with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital cluster display, Apple CarPlay, available Wi-Fi hotspot, available remote start, and more!
- It Looks Great. The Jeep Wrangler has a classic, yet modern design that is always unmistakable. There are also plenty of aftermarket options to customize your Jeep. From chrome bumpers to grille ainserts and tire covers to running boards, there are almost endless options.
