Nine trim levels are available: Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Willys, Overland, 80th Anniversary, Mohave, Rubicon, and High Altitude.

This truck comes with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. You can choose a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, diesel V-6 that gives 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque.
