2026 Jeep Recon Moab: Manahawkin Buyers Guide

The drivetrain: two motors, one purpose

Moab runs two Stellantis electric drive modules, one on the front axle and one on the rear, each rated at 250 kW, for a combined 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque delivered through a single-speed direct drive at each axle. The front module disconnects automatically when it isn't needed, which is how the drivetrain balances range against the standard electric 4x4 system Jeep didn't make optional. Zero to 60 comes up in 3.6 seconds, a number that would be quick for any SUV and is genuinely unusual for one wearing skid plates and a locking rear differential. The 100.5-kWh battery carries an EPA rating of 222 miles combined range at 71 MPGe (80 city, 62 highway), with the EPA estimating roughly $1,050 in annual electricity cost. Jeep's marketing has cited a higher figure, up to 250 miles, under favorable conditions; the 222-mile EPA number is the one worth planning around for an actual trip.

Off-road hardware that isn't cosmetic

The angles tell the real story: 34 degrees of approach, 34.5 degrees of departure, and 23.5 degrees of breakover, with 9.4 inches of ground clearance underneath. An electronic locking rear differential sends power to both rear wheels together when traction gets scarce, and Selec-Terrain cycles through Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand, and Rock modes to match throttle and traction response to the surface. Selec-Speed Control handles hill descents and low-speed crawling without the driver constantly modulating the brake pedal. Eighteen-inch aluminum wheels wear genuine 33-inch all-terrain tires rather than street-biased rubber dressed up to look rugged, and steel skid plates protect the underbody. Doors, rear quarter glass, and the swing-gate glass all remove, continuing a Wrangler-family tradition that Jeep engineered into an electric platform for the first time here. A full-size spare rides on the rear swing gate, not tucked away as an afterthought.

What's actually standard (not optional)

• Uconnect 5, 14.5 inches. The largest touchscreen Jeep has ever built, with navigation included, paired to a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Premium Alpine audio and wireless phone charging.
• Heated, power-adjustable front seats with driver memory, upholstered in Capri leatherette made with recycled content.
• Dual-pane panoramic sunroof over both rows.
• 170+ standard safety and security features, an illuminated seven-slot grille, and full LED lighting.

Nothing on that list requires an options box checked. It's what shows up on the window sticker of every Moab that arrives at the dealership.

Packages worth knowing about

Moab offers a handful of factory packages on top of that standard list: a Comfort Package adding ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror, an interior camera, and heated rear seats; a Trailer Tow Group with a Class III hitch receiver, trailer wiring, and trailer detection; a power-operated Sky One-Touch fabric top for open-air driving without removing panels by hand; and a cosmetic Gloss Black Painted Roof. Ask the sales team for current package pricing, since it moves with production and isn't fixed the way the base MSRP is.

What buyers are telling this dealership

Recon just launched, so there's no Moab-specific customer feedback at manahawkinchryslerdodge.net yet, and this page isn't going to invent any. What's real is the dealership's track record moving buyers through Jeep purchases, including recent finance work. Natalie Defilippo wrote about buying out her Jeep lease: "Exceptional service! My Jeep lease buyout was hassle free and went quickly and smoothly. All details were explained to me and any questions I had were answered. I would highly recommend Nick at [Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram] Dodge Ram! Love my new car!" It's a lease-transaction review, not a Moab review, but it speaks to the same finance team that will walk a Moab buyer through their own paperwork. Current inventory is on the new vehicle search.

What does the 2026 Recon Moab cost?

Does the Recon Moab actually go off-road, or is Trail Rated just branding here?

The hardware is real: a 34-degree approach angle, 9.4 inches of ground clearance, an electronic locking rear differential, and genuine 33-inch all-terrain tires all come standard. It's engineered for the badge, not just labeled with it.

Where can I see a Recon Moab near Long Beach Island?

Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on Route 72 in Manahawkin is fielding Moab interest as vehicles reach the lot.

The bottom line

Because Moab is the only 2026 Recon trim, there's no lesser version cutting corners to hit a lower price. It ships loaded, with off-road hardware that backs up the Trail Rated badge and an electric drivetrain quick enough to surprise people who assume off-roaders have to be slow.
