2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Backcountry Is a Tech-Focused Off-Roader
The 2025 is a new limited-edition trim that prioritizes standard tech and off-road-focused features.
The Backcountry features the same plug-in-hybrid powertrain as the 4xe Sahara, delivering 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
The new Wrangler 4xe Backcountry is limited to 5800 units and costs $66,185.
If just having a plug-in-hybrid Jeep Wrangler wasn't high-tech enough for your off-road excursions, Jeep is introducing a new limited-edition Wrangler 4xe Backcountry trim that is meant to better serve trail-loving technophiles.
Building on the upscale and comfort-oriented plug-in-hybrid 4xe Sahara trim, which comes standard with leather upholstery, heated seats, and an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, the 4xe Backcountry ups its tech quotient while also adding new accessories to make it more capable off-road.
As far as tech goes, the 4xe Backcountry's new additions include a nine-speaker Alpine audio system and the inclusion of a portable Jeep power box that can draw energy from the Backcountry's hybrid battery pack and be used to charge devices or power small appliances.
Like the 4xe Sahara, the 4xe Backcountry features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation. To encourage adventure, the infotainment system includes off-road trail guides for 62 Jeep Badge of Honor trails as well as an integrated geocaching app. While some Jeep owners use their Wranglers to get off the grid, the 4xe Backcountry comes with onboard Wi-Fi if you aren't part of that camp.
Outside of the new tech goodies, the Backcountry also gets some significant off-road bits. It wears steel bumpers at both ends, a Mopar grille guard, and rock rails along its door sills to limit damage from any boulder bashing. To prevent bashing from happening in the first place, the Backcountry comes standard with a front trail camera to survey the path ahead.
It also comes standard with unique matte-black 20-inch wheels wrapped in 275/55R-20 General Grabber all-terrain tires for supreme traction on any surface. To help it look the part, it has Backcountry decals on its hood, fenders, and rear swing gate and comes with a removable three-piece body-colored hardtop. A towing package is also included, which adds seven- and four-pin wiring harnesses, auxiliary switches, and a receiver hitch.
The Wrangler 4xe Backcountry is limited to 5800 units and retails for $66,185, which is $6595 more than the 4xe Sahara. If you want to hear what an Alpine audio system sounds like echoing through a dense forest, now's your time to find out.

Alpine: 'The Combustion Engine Is Not the Enemy'
Although governments are pushing consumers and automakers to buy electric vehicles, adoption isn't happening as quickly as expected. This has automakers pivoting back toward combustion engines, embracing hybrids as transitionary vehicles on the path toward full electrification. However, Alpine's chief hydrogen engineer believes the future will require several solutions to reduce emissions and that regulators have it wrong by outright banning the combustion engine. Pierre-Jean Tardy told , "The combustion engine is not the enemy," pointing out that the true enemy is fossil fuels and harmful emissions. He noted that combustion engines can run on carbon-free fuels, like hydrogen. However, he did admit that there is no one solution to how we power future vehicles and that it'll require a "mix" of sources. Photo by: Alpine There are several automakers experimenting with combustion hydrogen engines, including Toyota, Ford, and even Yamaha. However, the process of making hydrogen fuel, and most other synthetic types, often still relies on fossil fuels or requires massive amounts of energy, diminishing the benefits and increasing costs. Tardy is currently working to get the Alpine Alpenglow Hy6 to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2028. It has a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 730 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. The Pivot Back Toward Combustion In the last few months, several automakers have announced they are pivoting back toward developing new cars with combustion engines. Fiat slipped a gas engine back into the electric 500 , broadening its appeal. Volkswagen's upcoming EV platform will be able to accommodate combustion powertrains . Mini has said it won't abandon gas , and Mazda is working on what it calls " the ideal internal combustion engine ." Other automakers have hedged their bets, creating platforms that can easily accommodate a range of different powertrain types based on demand. BMW's Neue Klasse platform , Stellantis's STLA architecture, and Scout's future truck and SUV will be able to offer the powertrains people want to buy. If combustion cars are going to stay on the road, an emission-free fuel they can burn is better than forcing EVs onto consumers who don't want them.

2 companies with Ohio ties land on 'Most Patriotic Brands in America' list. See full list
Two companies with Ohio ties were just named some of the "Most Patriotic Brands in America" for 2025, with one of them snagging the No. 1 top spot. An annual consumer survey performed by research firm Brand Keys found 50 American companies deemed the "most patriotic" by customers. This year's list includes Ford, Coca-Cola and Apple as well as newcomers like Trader Joe's and Dick's Sporting Goods. Here's who represented Ohio in this year's Most Patriotic Brands list. Jeep, which was founded in Toledo and still operates an assembly plant there, was ranked as the No. 1 most patriotic brand by consumers, surpassing Ford, Coca-Cola, Apple, and Walmart. Since 1941, Jeep has prided itself on American automotive history and patriotism, having been used by the U.S. Army during World War II. The automaker currently offers discounts to military personnel toward the purchase of a Jeep. Jeep leaned into its patriotic reputation with a commercial starring Harrison Ford that aired during the 2025 Super Bowl. Once headquartered in Cincinnati, Macy's moved up six spots and took the No. 35 spot on the list of the "Most Patriotic Brands in America." The chain continues shuttering underproductive stores nationwide, but there are currently 18 Macy's Stores left in Ohio, including four in Cincinnati, two in Columbus, one in Canton, and one in Akron. Here's how each company ranked among the Top 50 Most Patriotic Brands in America for 2025 and their movement from the 2024 list: Jeep (--) Ford (--) Coca-Cola (+1) Levi Strauss (-1) Apple (+3) Walmart (--) Disney (-2) Harley Davidson (-1) Amazon (+1) Ralph Lauren (+2) Jack Daniels (-2) . Nike (+10) Hershey's (-2) Dunkin' (--) McDonald's (+10) Wrangler (-3) American Express (-2) Colgate (-2) Pepsi Cola (+3) NFL (+9) NBA (+9) Home Depot (+27) John Deere (+15) Weather Tech (+2) AT&T (+12) FOX News (-3) Kellogg's (-6) Gillette (+4) Wilson's Sporting Goods (+7) L.L. Bean (+3) MSNBC (-13) Gatorade (+3) Kraft Heinz (+7) KFC (+5) Macy's (+6) USAA (+10) Target (-3) Jersey Mike's Subs (new) MLB (-9) New Balance (-13) Ball Park Franks (Tyson, new) Converse (+3) Costco (--) Trader Joe's (new) Revlon (+4) Weber Grills (+2) Campbell's (new) GM (new) Whirlpool (new) Dick's Sporting Goods (new) 'With consumers viewing everything through a political lens, the value of patriotism is more important than ever,' Brand Keys President Robert Passikoff said. 'A brand that truly resonates the value 'patriotism' taps into a deep well of shared identity, cultural pride, and collective values that significantly strengthen consumer loyalty and positive brand behavior.'

Hard Top vs. Soft Top: Which Jeep Roof is Best?
Asking whether a hardtop or soft top is right for your Jeep Wrangler is like asking whether vanilla or chocolate is better. It's mostly a matter of preference. However, as a soft top-wearing Jeep owner myself (and therefore having to maintain and endure it), I wondered if I should bite the bullet and convert it to a hardtop. As I did some research, dredged through several owners' forums, and compared pricing, replacing my soft top with a hardtop turned out to be more of a difficult decision than I expected it to be. While looking through some of the owner's pages I've joined on Facebook, I saw one commenter explain it simply: "A soft top is great until you run into some heavy rain. A hard top is great until you have to take it off." It seems simple: all-around, the soft top would be the better choice, right? The more I thought about it, the more the two choices seemed to even out. Here's what I learned in my research. I assumed ownership of my Uncle's Moab-bred in late August of last year. Until then, I'd never owned or driven a Jeep. My Uncle called and told me the Jeep was becoming too difficult for him to maintain, and offered to sell it to me at a very handsome price. I jumped at the chance after I fell in love with it about 10 years prior. My husband and I had to park it outside since we only had a one-car garage, but the weather in Bend, Oregon, is very mild. However, last year we endured a very cold, wet, and snowy winter. The soft top was not an asset then. In fact, until we moved into a place with a two-car garage, the Jeep had a "leaking" problem. As it turns out, the soft top did not appreciate having snow on top of it and would leak where the top met the door and onto the carpet. So, every time it snowed, I'd have to go out and push the snow off. If it snowed heavily, I'd have to do it more often to keep weight off it. Rain affected the Jeep very similarly. Light rain was fine, but heavy rain with high winds resulted in wet floors. I have all-weather mats, and the rain would largely collect there, but if you didn't, you could easily have a mold problem on your hands. Leaking, of course, depends on a variety of factors, like brand, the severity of the weather, fitment, age, and wear. But the fact of the matter is-it's not uncommon for soft top owners to report leaking. Hard tops can also leak depending on the same variables as the soft top, but they're a lot more resistant to leaks because they don't flex as much as soft tops do. They're heavy and made of sturdier materials, so heavy wind won't cause them to shift. Over time, a soft top can stretch from the constant tension, making leaks more possible, too. A hard top will hold its shape, no matter how long you have it on. It's also a lot easier to keep the cabin temperature steady since many hard tops have basic insulation while soft tops don't, so it's the preferred top for those who live in warmer climates and drive it every day. The heater or air conditioner may work perfectly fine, but without the sturdier seals of the hard top, you're just wasting gas to cool or heat the cabin by a few degrees. You likely have summer doors if you have a soft top, but if it's hot, it's hot-even if you're going 80 mph on the freeway with the top and doors off. One of the biggest, most prominent selling points is that you can remove the top and doors from a Jeep and have it be perfectly legal (as long as you have your driver's side and rearview mirror on, of course). That's one of those "Jeep things" that owners of other off-roaders just don't understand. Unless you have a new Ford Bronco, which advertises that owners can remove doors and tops. Anyway, if going topless in public, or on public roads and off-road, is particularly appealing, then a soft top is the obvious answer. A soft top is easier to remove, fold, or lower, as many brands and variations use zippers and velcro to keep it on the frame. In just a few minutes, and without tools, the top can be removed-even if you're on the trail. A hard top, thanks to its rigidity and weight, is a lot more cumbersome to remove, and unless you have arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you'll need a friend or a lift system to remove it. They don't fold like a soft top, so you have to have a relatively large place to keep it and remove it before you leave your house for the trail. If you have a garage, great! It can be kept safe there until you come back. If you live in an apartment like many do, you'll need a secure place to keep it since they're very expensive and you don't want to risk it being stolen. You have to commit with a hard top on whether or not you're going topless. With a soft top, there's a lot more flexibility, and technically better gas mileage too, since they don't weigh as much. There are also a lot more soft top styles to choose from, like safari style tops, sunrider tops, and bikini tops for partially open-air driving, for a lot less than a hard top. A hard top doesn't have nearly as many customization options aside from colors. There are one, two, and three-piece hard tops, but they're still difficult to remove by yourself and are difficult to store if you don't have a garage. If you're a sticker freak like I am, hard tops are much nicer to put stickers on for obvious reasons. Since hard tops are sturdy and heavy, there is a ton of aftermarket support for rooftop accessories. Roof racks, baskets, rooftop tents, bike racks, storage boxes, and cargo boxes are much easier to use and enjoy with a hard top since weight is better distributed. I found this to be the case when I was hunting for a roof rack to go on my own Jeep. When I did find a rack that went over, not on top of, my soft top, they were incredibly expensive and didn't support as much weight as the rooftop accessories for the hard top. That's because the weight isn't distributed through the whole chassis, but rather the support points of the rack. So, it looks like I'll be camping on the ground until I can muster up the cash for a hard top and a rooftop tent. They're also much quieter for long drives, too. I love the look of the soft top, but it's incredibly loud at highway speeds. Which isn't a problem for short distances, but after an hour or two, I start to feel myself growing very frustrated with how loud it is. Talking on the phone or listening to my music is a chore. If I had a hard top, it would be a much quieter ride. So, if you're like me and can't physically stand a long drive without talking on the phone or listening to music, a hard top may be the right answer for you. Hard tops are also more secure off-road, since branches or the shifting of gear can't irreparably damage the windows. Some hard tops can come with windows that passengers can open, improving ventilation. A soft top can be damaged pretty badly by branches. Worst case scenario, they can be torn, and then you'll have to replace a $300+ soft top. Camping and overlanding can be much more accessible with a hard top, but it severely limits your open-air options. So, if you go into Jeep ownership fairly confident you're never going to remove the top, the hard top is the best, no-nonsense answer for most Jeep owners. However, if you're dreaming of the freedom of open-air driving and don't plan on bringing much gear with you during your camping and overlanding trips, a soft top could easily work. This is honestly my biggest concern as a soft top owner. Modern Jeeps come from the factory with an anti-theft alarm system, but mine is from 2006 and does not have one. My Uncle's solution to curbing thieves in the Utah desert was to replace the center console with a Tuffy locking console, fit the glove box with a lock, and stuff the CB radio into a locking box. The rear door is also locked, and he put a locking box in the "trunk" that's bolted to the frame. That's all well and good, but thieves by nature aren't very intelligent, and if the doors are locked, they may try to get in by slicing the soft top and hopping in. Once they're in, they won't be able to steal anything from the glove box, center console, or trunk, but now the soft top is ruined. Insurance companies aren't likely to cover the soft top, especially if a lot of slicing happens. If you don't have a secure place to park it overnight, be careful not to leave any valuables inside, or your Jeep might become a regular target. While you can't stop people from slashing your soft top open and rummaging around, you can (and should) look into ways to keep your Jeep your Jeep by looking into GPS tracking devices, maybe installing a kill switch, or at the very least, a steering wheel club. Especially since older Jeeps are known for being fairly easy to steal. A hard top can help keep your car more secure since it can't be sliced open or removed unless the thief is inside the Jeep, so those investments are wise regardless of what kind of top you have. Soft tops, just like a convertible top on a car, involve regular and special care. If you want to keep a soft top from fading from a nice, rich black to an unsavory gray, you have to keep up with maintenance. That means using a special brush, with a special spray, and treating it with a UV protectant to curb sun damage. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even treat it with a conditioner that helps water bead up and roll off of it to keep moisture from sticking, too. With a hard top, you don't have to worry about all that. You can wash it with the same wash you use for the chassis, and you can use the same polish and wax, too. Depending on where you live and where you're able to park it, you may have to treat the soft top more often. For example, the sun is incredibly strong in Central Oregon, so I'm sure to clean and treat the soft top with a UV protectant spray every few months, but especially in the summer. If I lived somewhere incredibly moist, like the American South, I'd regularly treat the top with waterproofing spray to keep mold and mildew at bay. That's not something you'd have to worry about with a hard top. Both tops are expensive, but hard tops are remarkably more expensive than soft tops, regardless of styling. Soft tops typically range from $800 to $2,000, depending on the brand, style, and size (for instance, a 2-door soft top would be cheaper than a 4-door soft top). Hard tops are rarely under $1,000 unless you're shopping used, and can go up to $3,500. Modular hard tops can be even pricier, with a typical price range of $2,000 to $5,000 if you want one with real glass windows. If you're into repairing things yourself, repairing a soft top is much easier than repairing anything on a hardtop. A broken window can be repaired with a kit, a tear can be repaired with a sewing kit and some dexterity, and so on. And as we've established, should it need replacing, soft tops are much cheaper to replace. If anything goes wrong with the windows on a hardtop, especially if they're glass or on sliders, it can be more expensive to repair and/or replace. Once again, we've come to an "it depends" impasse. I looked at the two different tops like sunroofs. I have a sunroof in my Forester, and I rarely, if ever, have it open. Why don't I open it? Well, mostly because I don't like the wind noise at higher speeds, and I have very fair, Irish skin that burns easily. That means that unless I carry a hair tie, a hat, and sunscreen with me at all times (which I don't), the sunroof stays closed. When I went off-roading in my Subaru or our old 1996 Land Rover, I appreciated being able to close the windows if it got too dusty or windy, as well as the security of the closed roof. Therefore, for me, a hard top makes more sense. However, since my Jeep came with a soft top and converting it to a hard top is incredibly expensive, I'll be saving up for one instead and hoping no one damages my soft top. I also like the idea of a hard top's versatility with rooftop accessories, the improved insulation if I needed to use the A/C or heater, and the comfort of safety from the weather. If you're like my husband, who fully embraces that #dustylife and loves the open-air feeling of being able to remove or fold the top, the soft top would truly set you free, especially off-road. My husband once said he may not drive with the top down all summer, but he'd like the option to, so for Jeep owners like him, a soft top makes sense. A soft top is also the most cost-effective and easiest way to own a Jeep, since you don't need a lift system or a friend to remove it. So, which is best truly depends on how you envision yourself as a Jeep owner. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
