The Wrangler 85th Anniversary special edition makes its mark with a bold nod to Jeep Americana heritage, with plaid taking the spotlight, channeling generations of hardworking tradition, outdoor freedom and classic style for modern adventure. Inside, exclusive plaid seat inserts proudly feature an 85th seat tag, complemented by matching plaid accents on the instrument panel and mid bolster for a look that is both adventurous and iconic. These heritage-inspired details are paired with exclusive touches, such as an 85th shifter medallion and cupholder plaque, along with durable Berber floor and cargo mats designed to stand up to life on and off the trail.

Exterior highlights include 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 yet rugged stance.

Also debuting is the Jeep Gladiator 85th Anniversary edition that brings the same heritage-inspired plaid design cues and commemorative details to the industry's only open-air pickup, giving customers even more ways to celebrate 85 years of legendary Jeep capability.
