What Makes the Jeep Wrangler 85th Anniversary Special?

The ever-iconic Jeep Wrangler is celebrating its 85th anniversary. More than eight decades on – and off – the road is a milestone worth celebrating and one Jeep plans on celebrating all year long.

In honor of its 85 years of off-road leadership, Jeep is releasing an 85th Anniversary Edition Wrangler as part of the yearlong release of the “Twelve 4 Twelve” series. The newest model blends Jeep heritage styling with modern features and capability. If you’re a Jeep enthusiast looking for something unique, this limited-run edition is designed for you.

A Tribute to Jeep’s 85-Year Legacy

Jeep’s newest edition is the third of the 12 special-edition Wranglers being released during the Twelve 4 Twelve celebration. The Wrangler 85th Anniversary reflects Jeep’s core values of off-road leadership, purpose-built design, and everyday usability.

Jeep’s roots run deep, and the release of these 12 special models celebrates 85 uninterrupted years of Jeep vehicles built with purpose and real-world capability. The model’s plaid interior takes the spotlight, highlighting authentic Jeep Americana and combining tradition with modern durability.

Throughout the year, Jeep plans to release additional 85th Anniversary editions across other Jeep models, including the Jeep Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition, which will feature the same heritage-inspired look.

On the outside, this edition features exclusive Steel Oxide-painted 17-inch wheels, bronze tow hooks, Blue Agave 85th Anniversary badges and decals, and body-color fender flares for a refined but rugged look.
