Worst Car to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse Runner-Up: Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is the perfect car for rural, back road jaunts on the weekends.  A great SUV if you’re looking for something to cruise around the woods and go off-roading in.  With removable doors and roof, available large tires, and a rinse-out interior this vehicle was built to get down and dirty. 

But, if while cruising around in the woods you find yourself face to face with an un-dead mob of zombies, the Wrangler may not be the best vehicle to be in.

You’ve removed the doors and the roof to better enjoy your off-roading experience, but for zombies this simply means easy access to dinner.  There’s no need to peel off the wrapper, they can just reach in and grab you, dragging you to your impending doom.

 The side steps, which are very helpful when getting into the Wrangler, are also very useful for zombies.  As you attempt to drive past they can just hop on for a ride, while at the same time turning you into one of them.

The Jeep Wrangler is great for rugged terrain; but unfortunately while cruising around on the rocks and ridges of the forest you have no speed.  No speed is great if you are more interested in the thrill of holding on tight while your vehicle rocks around; but when being chased by zombies the biggest thrill will be trying to maneuver around any obstacles so you can pick up some sort of speed.

The Jeep Wrangler is a great, fun vehicle; but if there’s a threat of zombie attacks, you better take the Jeep Patriot!
