Jeep Unveils 85th Anniversary Edition Wrangler
Eighty-five years doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by building vehicles with purpose, listening to the people who depend on them, and never losing sight of what made the brand legendary in the first place. The Jeep® Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition is a celebration of exactly that mindset—heritage-forward design paired with modern, trail-ready capability.
As the third exclusive model in Jeep’s yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve celebration, this limited-run Wrangler honors 85 uninterrupted years of off-road leadership with details that feel authentic, thoughtful, and unmistakably Jeep.
A Modern Take on Jeep Americana
The standout theme of the Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition is heritage-inspired plaid, and it’s more than just a design flourish—it’s a nod to generations of hard work, outdoor freedom, and classic American adventure.
Inside the cabin, exclusive plaid seat inserts proudly display an 85th Anniversary seat tag, complemented by matching plaid accents on the instrument panel and mid bolsters. The look is equal parts rugged and refined, blending vintage character with modern comfort.
Jeep doubles down on the commemorative touches with:
- An 85th Anniversary shifter medallion
- A dedicated cupholder plaque
- Durable Berber floor and cargo mats, built to handle mud, dust, snow, and whatever the trail throws your way
Heritage Looks, Trail-Ready Stance
On the outside, the Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition strikes a confident balance between refined styling and off-road toughness. Exclusive Steel Oxide–painted 17-inch wheels anchor the design, while bronze tow hooks and Blue Agave 85th Anniversary badging and decals add subtle but meaningful contrast.
Body-color fender flares round out the look, giving the Wrangler a cohesive, premium stance without sacrificing its unmistakable rugged edge.
Premium Features Come Standard
This special edition isn’t just about looks—it’s loaded with features designed for everyday comfort and real-world adventure. Standard equipment includes:
- Convenience Group, featuring heated front seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, and keyless passive entry
- Alpine® premium audio system
- LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and fog lamps
- Gorilla Glass windshield, heated mirrors, deep-tint windows, and automatic headlamps
- Advanced safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and advanced braking
For those who want even more personalization, optional black or body-color hardtops are available straight from the factory. Customers can also upgrade to all-terrain tires at no additional cost, enhancing both capability and appearance.
Heritage That’s Surprisingly Accessible
Despite its exclusive design and premium content, the Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition remains refreshingly attainable. The package adds just $710 MSRP over a comparably equipped Wrangler Sport S with Convenience Group and Alpine audio. The starting MSRP is $46,300 (excluding $1,995 destination).
The Celebration Expands
The anniversary love doesn’t stop with the Wrangler. Jeep is also introducing the Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition, bringing the same plaid details and commemorative design cues to the industry’s only open-air pickup.
Orders for both the 2026 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator 85th Anniversary Editions are now open, with additional 85th Anniversary models set to roll out across the Jeep lineup throughout the year.
Built With Purpose—Then and Now
“For 85 uninterrupted years, every Jeep vehicle has been built with purpose,” said Jeep brand CEO Bob Broderdorf—and the Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition proves that legacy is still alive and thriving.
This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s heritage done right: honoring the past, embracing the present, and staying ready for whatever road—or trail—comes next.
