New Goldilocks color and no 392, it appears. Not in this documentation, at least.

What's new? What's different? Anything cool going on there? or same/same with 2025? Do i need to trade up immediately or can I wait another 6 months? Will my parts fit? Will they not? Should I maybe take everything off just in case? Anxiety.

No 4xe either, unless I missed it. May be late availability.

Also Joose is gone. No Orange option. I am displeased.

Here's what ChatGPT says about the (4 door) changes from 2025. Note that I'm just copy / pasting this w/o checking each.


🔧 Powertrain and Transmission Updates
2026 Enhancements:

  • 3.6L V6 with 8-Speed Auto: Newly introduced for most trims as a late availability option, replacing the previous year’s limitation to manual transmission only for the V6:
    • Model codes like 24B/24S/24W (Sport), 24G (Sahara), 24R/24Y (Rubicon) are new and represent the 3.6L V6 + 8-speed auto options vs .
Late Availability Flags:

  • Several engine and transmission combinations for 2026 are marked as "Late Availability", meaning they will roll out later in the model year, unlike in 2025 where they were immediately available.

🎨 New Exterior Paint Colors (2026)

Compared to 2025’s 9 standard options, 2026 introduces several new or returning fan-favorite colors:

New for 2026:

  • Goldilocks (PYC) – Late availability
  • Mojito! Clear Coat (PGE) – Bright lime green, previously discontinued, returns
  • Reign (PHT) – Purple tone, marked as late availability

These expand the palette alongside returning favorites like Firecracker Red, Hydro Blue, and Granite Crystal.


🚙 Trim-Level Feature Changes
Rubicon / Rubicon X Enhancements (2026):

  • Alpine Premium Audio System (RC4) is listed as packaged (P) with Rubicon X and optional on base Rubicon in 2026, improving the base audio offering compared to 2025.
  • Addition of WARN winch (XE5) as a separate add-on option on Rubicon trims (previously bundled or restricted).
Sahara Popular Equipment Group (2026):

  • A new bundled group option called “AYY” appears, which includes tech and safety packages, plus upgraded trim (NL seats, RC4 audio, side steps).

⚙ New & Expanded Package Options
2026 Introduces:

  • Mobilisights Telematics Packages for Fleet:
    • Fleet Plus and Fleet Premium options with 1-year and 4-year data packages are introduced across all trims. These provide vehicle telematics, likely for commercial/fleet buyers. This wasn’t present in the 2025 guide.
  • MyFlexCare Service Plan (2S6):
    • A new warranty/service bundle available across trims.

🛠 Equipment & Option Changes
New Equipment in 2026:

  • Mopar Multi-Function Accessory Rail (CMD) – New addition for customizing dashboard attachments.
  • Mopar Tool Kit (XEK) – Standard on several trims, not seen in 2025.
  • Mopar Grille Guards:
    • Single Hoop (MYL) and Triple Loop (MYT) guards are now clearly defined, previously not itemized like this.

📦 Group-Level Refinements (2026)

  • XTREME 35 Tire Package (AGB) now clearly includes:
    • 4.56 rear axle ratio, GVW 6250# rating, Mopar hinge-gate reinforcement, 35" tires, Jack spacer, and relocation kit, more comprehensively described than in 2025.
  • Safety Group (AJ1) adds standard LED taillamps (LAY) and better describes inclusion/exclusion logic for various trims and conflicts.

❌ Removed or Missing in 2026

  • 4xe Hybrid Trims:
    • The 4xe trims (Sport 4xe, Sahara 4xe, Rubicon 4xe) and corresponding packages like 29P, 29V, 29Y, etc. are entirely missing from the 2026 guide, possibly indicating they will be released later, discontinued, or in a separate guide.
  • Diesel Powertrain:
    • Like 2025, no mention of EcoDiesel—continues its absence in 2026.

392s and 4xe will be coming to the guide later. Have heard from some auto industry analyst sources that there will be a significantly lower price point of entry for the 392s for 2026.

It's insane that after all these years of Ford offering 37" tires and rear Dana 50 axle as standard equipment on the Bronco Raptor (now priced at $75K), Jeep still has no answer.

Instead, we get the Jeep marketing intern playing with adding and removing colors year after year.

All you have to do is watch the Dirt Road Cred (don't) videos - they have multiple 20 min long videos on what is new for 2026 and *ALL* that guy talks about is ..... drum roll....colors. How sad for this community.

I'm guessing a huge tire/axle upgrade when they do the 2027 refresh. That's why nothing big on the '26 model. It will be a huge release with all the new options in '27.

Has anybody ordered a 2026 (without knowing the prices)? If yes, I tip my hard top to you. Also, is an air compressor an option? If yes, what code is it hidden under?

Yeah, there are never big changes right before a redesign or major refresh. No surprise there.
