February 12, 2026 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Jeep® brand’s yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve celebration rolls on with a thunderous entrance as the fourth exclusive model joins the lineup, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392. Blending the soul of the original Willys with the unmistakable growl of a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8, this limited-edition Wrangler proves that 85 years of off-road leadership can still surprise you and shake the ground beneath you.

“Our Wrangler Willys has always represented the purest expression of Jeep capability,” said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep CEO. “Our community has been clear, they want a Wrangler that returns to a more classic, back‑to‑basics formula, paired with the unmistakable power of a V-8. The Wrangler Willys 392 is our answer, building on our commitment to expand V-8 availability across the Wrangler lineup. It delivers the heritage simplicity people love, the HEMI performance they’ve been asking for and the kind of value that makes this Jeep more accessible than ever. It celebrates everything that built this brand while pushing Jeep excitement into its next era.”

The Wrangler Willys 392 delivers a combination of heritage-inspired design and modern capability, pairing classic Willys character with the most advanced off-road powertrain ever offered on a Willys model.

At the heart of this limited-edition vehicle is the legendary 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque to confidently navigate dunes, rocky terrain and steep backcountry grades. A two-mode dual exhaust system further enhances performance, allowing drivers to select between a subdued tone and a distinctive, performance-oriented exhaust note.

The Wrangler Willys 392 comes equipped with a comprehensive list of standard performance, capability and comfort features, including:

• 35-inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels (11.1 inches of ground clearance)
• Tru-Lok electronic locking rear differential
• Selec-Trac full-time transfer case
• Third generation Dana 44 heavy-duty solid front and full-float rear axles

Additional standard equipment includes Willys hood decals and heritage 4WD rear graphics, LED exterior lighting, Nappa leather heated/power front seats, an Alpine nine-speaker premium audio system with subwoofer and 552-watt amplifier, a 12.3-inch touchscreen radio with navigation, four programmable auxiliary switches and the Trailer Tow Package. The Willys 392 also expands its palette in March with the arrival of Goldilocks, a rich, heritage‑inspired exterior color that adds a fresh standout option for 2026.

Orders for the new 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392 will open in March, with a starting MSRP of $69,995 (excluding $1,995 destination).

Oh look, also not a 2 door. Wonder when Jeep will do a real Jeep.

So 70k for a Willys, just like 70k for the Moab which was a Rubi ... good job jeep

Looks like the Moab was 79k so saving 10gs

Cmon you dont want to spend seventy THOUSAND dollars for a Willys?

I’m hoping they announce a Gladiator with a V8 soon. My plan is to buy a Gladiator by the end of the year, but would be in the front of the line if they offer one finally for the JT.

So the difference between this and the Moab one is a front locker ane electronic swaybar? For 10k?

Fair credit to Stellantis here. I was expecting a non-Rube 392 to be one of the Twelve 4 Twelve offerings, but only at or near the end of the year-long promotional period. They surprised me with this comparatively early release.

I was just discussing this matter with my wife yesterday. She works with a Jeep owner who is excitedly following this program.

A V8 JT would be the only thing that'd get me out of the JT I have now.

And the 4:1 t-case

Edit - nope, apparently all 392s are the 2.72:1

I was just looking at the difference myself. My HPFP went gave out, so my diesel is in the shop. I have been on the fence on a 392, and the Willys 392 for 69k is not bad when you figure it will end up discounted to mid 60s at most.

I actually dont mind lack of swaybar disconnect as I would be more than ok with a manual, or AntiRock. And as far as front locker, most of the time I dont need that. If I needed to add an e-locker down the road thats not to expensive. Still a pretty good deal overall. The transfer case, I am not sure about. its a 392, so I know those are different anyways. I am assuming this is the same t-case in all 392s maybe? But if not, does it even need the Rubi T-Case? I know the diesel would be more than ok without it, so assuming the 392 would as well.

I am not saying I agree with the price in general as I think they are ALL overpriced right now. But among the overpriced Jeeps, this is not the worst.
