Jeep already displayed the 2026 '41 Special Edition at the LA Auto Show, so I'm not sure if that will be one of the 11 remaining special editions or not. It fits the AI verbiage posted above but I don't think the #2 Duck matches that theme...

Jeep said that some of these will be available for a full year and others are "wild" and will only be available for a few months.

EDIT 12/8/25, it's live now so I guess it was not one of the 12...

Maybe a Jamboree Edition?

What were the popular snow themed editions in the JK? Arctic, Rocky Mountain, Alaska, etc?

Duck number 2 attached, I’m guessing Orange with white hardtop. Duck #3 has no hat so I’m guessing that is a soft top.

Looks like I nailed this one.

Jeep PR:

The Jeep® brand continues its bold Twelve 4 Twelve celebration with the reveal of its second exclusive Wrangler buzz model: the Jeep Wrangler Whitecap.

Jeep heritage has thrived for 85 uninterrupted years. The new Wrangler Whitecap draws inspiration from the classic CJ-Universal and its iconic Arctic White top, a design that has long symbolized individuality and adventure. This modern interpretation proudly carries that tradition forward, offered exclusively on Sahara and Rubicon trims.

Following the November debut of the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392, the Whitecap brings a fresh, fearless look to the lineup.

“The Jeep Wrangler Whitecap is more than a special edition, it’s a statement,” said Bob Broderdorf, CEO of the Jeep brand. “It honors Jeep brand heritage while introducing a striking two-tone look that turns heads on any trail. Just like every model in the Twelve 4 Twelve series, Whitecap is designed to stand out—a true tip of the hat to the brand’s legendary legacy. With more ways to personalize and customize than ever before, we’re giving Jeep owners the freedom to make their Wrangler truly their own.”

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap combines the advanced technology of the Sahara and Rubicon models with legendary 4x4 capability, built to conquer any terrain with ease. Powered by either the 2.0L turbo or 3.6L engine, every Whitecap delivers authentic Jeep 4x4 performance through the brand-exclusive Selec-Trac part-time or full-time transfer cases, ensuring unmatched versatility.

Other notable features include:
  • Bright White painted hardtop roof
  • Bright White painted iconic seven slot grille, with body-color fender flares (standard on Sahara and packaged on Rubicon)
  • Bright White 1941 side stripe decal (Sahara and Rubicon) / Bright White hood decal on Rubicon
  • Optional Sky One-Touch powertop in Bright White accent
Orders for the new 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap are now open, with a starting MSRP of $495 on Rubicon X, $2,690 on Sahara (includes optional body-color hardtop) and $3,185 on Rubicon (includes optional body-color hardtop and body-color fender flares)

I'll still call it the Creamsicle Edition!

I wonder if they'll all be 4 doors.

This is something I don't understand - quoting from the official press release: "Orders for the new 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap are now open, with a starting MSRP of $495 on Rubicon X, $2,690 on Sahara (includes optional body-color hardtop) and $3,185 on Rubicon (includes optional body-color hardtop and body-color fender flares)" [emphasis mine]

Does that mean the white top would be replaced by an orange top if the option package is built on a Rubicon? Body color is orange, and body color top and flares would also be... orange. Or am I missing something?

Also, there's no mention in the press release that the option package will be available in any other color. I don't know - call me crusty but this special edition seems "phoned in".

The White Cap replaces any standard options.

I believe it means it’s the same as buying a body-colored white hard top rather than painting the textured black hard top to white. That is, glossy and not textured.

I've finally found a use for AI.

A chance like this doesn't happen often. The 2026 Jeep® Wrangler Willys Edition honors past as a new chapter of rugged heritage and modern capability. Get ready to roll in limited numbers.

AI also thinks it could be 'core legacy' but the resulting sentences do not make sense. AI also thinks that the ducks are physical and collectable, but no doubt they will be but not from Jeep.

I got almost the exact same response a few days ago.
