What is the reason for four door Wranglers anyway? I think they're ugly and practically blasphemous to the brand.

You're entitled to your opinion. I had a '13 JKU and loved the utility of the 4 doors. Larger cargo area to, which was important to me. Apparently important to other buyers as well, as they've been selling like crazy since the JKU was introduced.

4 door Wrangler's purpose? Appeal to family or those wanting to haul more stuff with it and go offroad. The fact that it is a popular seller likely helps Wranglers continue production.

A good thing.

While the 4 door can be a challenge on the tight, tree-lined trails here in the southeast, they are VERY popular and VERY capable. With a few mods, they're extremely good offroaders.
