A Look at the Rare Jeep® Wrangler RHD: Pros and Cons

The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic off-road vehicle known for its rugged capability and unique style. While most Wrangler models you see driving around Newport, TN, and other parts of the U.S. are left-hand drive (LHD) models, there is a rare version that features a right-hand drive (RHD) configuration, something that's unusual in a predominantly LHD culture.

What exactly does RHD mean? In a new Jeep Wrangler RHD, the steering wheel is located on the right side of the dashboard, while in a standard LHD model it's on the left side. That allows you to drive the vehicle on the left side of the road, which is common in countries like England, Australia, and Japan that drive on the left.

How the RHD Wrangler Differs

The right-hand drive layout of this unique Wrangler model makes for a distinctive driving experience compared to a regular left-hand drive Jeep. Getting in an RHD Wrangler means entering from the passenger side, rather than the driver's side. Jeep designers swap crucial controls like the gear shifter, turn signals, and pedals to the opposite side of the cabin.

If you're in Sevierville, TN and want to check out an RHD Wrangler in person, the friendly folks at Stinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Newport, TN would be happy to show you one from their collection.

Pros of an RHD Wrangler

For Jeep fans and collectors in Morristown, TN, an RHD Wrangler has an appealing option since they are far less common than the standard LHD models in the U.S. Some off-roading fans also appreciate the RHD configuration for the enhanced visibility it provides looking out the driver-side window.

Cons of an RHD Wrangler

On the flip side, driving an RHD vehicle on the right-hand side of U.S. roads takes some getting used to for those accustomed to LHD. The swapped controls can also feel less intuitive at first. And with RHD Wranglers being produced in much smaller numbers, they can be harder to find.
