When the rubber hits the off-road. This rugged duck’s striated body hints at the levels you’ll climb, while its gold cap with a 1941 silhouette nods at the military heritage of the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392.
2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392: Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve Series Just Dropped a V-8 Beast
February 13, 2026
Overview
Jeep is keeping the momentum alive with its yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve special-edition program, and the latest release might be the most exciting one yet. Introducing the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392, a limited-edition Wrangler that combines old-school Willys-inspired design with the raw power of Jeep’s legendary 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8.
This model isn’t just another appearance package it’s a factory-built, trail-ready Wrangler with real muscle, premium comfort, and serious off-road hardware right out of the box. According to Jeep, orders will open in March. If you’ve been waiting for a Wrangler that feels like a throwback but drives like a modern performance SUV, the Willys 392 may be exactly what you’ve been hoping for.
What Is the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392?
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392 is a limited-edition Wrangler designed to bridge two distinct Jeep identities: the rugged simplicity of the Willys legacy and the high-performance thrill of a factory-installed V-8. Jeep positions this model as a special Wrangler built for enthusiasts who want more than just capability. It’s meant to deliver a distinct personality one that feels historically inspired on the outside while offering modern power, comfort, and premium equipment on the inside. Rather than forcing buyers to stack multiple expensive option packages, Jeep is offering the Willys 392 as a ready-made package loaded with trail hardware and upscale features.
Twelve 4 Twelve: Where the Willys 392 Fits In
The Willys 392 marks the fourth release in Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve series, a yearlong rollout of 12 limited-edition Wrangler models. This series is Jeep’s way of adding variety to the Wrangler lineup by delivering trims that highlight specific themes heritage, lifestyle, capability, and performance. In the case of the Willys 392, the theme is obvious: classic Willys identity paired with a roaring 392 V-8 heartbeat. It’s essentially Jeep’s way of giving Wrangler buyers something truly special without having to wait for aftermarket builds or one-off packages.
Willys Roots, Modern Execution
The Willys name carries real weight in Jeep history. It’s tied directly to the original military-inspired Jeeps that helped shape the brand’s reputation for toughness and simplicity. Jeep leans into that identity with the Wrangler Willys 392 by giving it heritage-inspired styling touches, but the modern side of the story is just as important. Inside and under the hood, the Willys 392 is packed with modern technology, comfort, and engineering that makes it feel like a premium daily driver. This blend of classic and modern is exactly what Wrangler buyers often want: something that looks authentic but doesn’t sacrifice comfort or convenience.
6.4-Liter HEMI® V-8: Output, Character & Exhaust
The biggest headline is under the hood. Jeep equips the 2026 Wrangler Willys 392 with its famous 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8, producing:
- 470 horsepower
- 470 lb-ft of torque
That kind of output transforms the Wrangler experience. It’s built for steep climbs, sand dunes, and aggressive throttle response that most off-road SUVs simply can’t match. Even better, Jeep includes a two-mode dual exhaust system, allowing drivers to choose between a more subdued tone or a louder, more performance-oriented sound. This means the Willys 392 can feel refined on daily drives, but still unleash that unmistakable V-8 attitude when you want the full experience.
Trail Hardware: Tires, Axles, Transfer Case & Protection
Jeep didn’t stop at power. The Willys 392 is engineered to handle serious off-road terrain with a strong list of standard capability features.
It comes factory-equipped with:
- 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 tires
- 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels
- 11.1 inches of ground clearance
- Selec-Trac full-time transfer case
- Tru-Lok electronic locking rear differential
- Dana 44 heavy-duty front axle
- Full-float rear axle
- 4.56 axle ratio
That hardware is exactly what hardcore Jeep fans look for especially those who want a Wrangler that feels “built” from day one.
Jeep also includes functional protection upgrades such as:
- Rock rails
- Winch-capable steel front bumper
- Steel rear bumper
- Cold air intake hood with water separator
This isn’t just a Wrangler with a badge it’s a Wrangler designed to be used exactly the way it looks.
Premium Interior & Everyday Comfort
Despite the rugged Willys identity, Jeep clearly wants the Willys 392 to feel like a premium experience inside. Standard features include Nappa leather heated/power front seats, which immediately elevates the cabin above what most people expect from a “heritage-inspired” Wrangler trim. This makes the Willys 392 appealing to buyers who want off-road ability without sacrificing daily comfort. It’s the type of Wrangler you can take to the desert on the weekend and still enjoy commuting in all week.
Technology, Audio & Upfitter-Friendly Features
Jeep also loads the Willys 392 with modern tech and convenience, ensuring it feels current in a market where infotainment and connectivity matter more than ever.
Highlights include:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Built-in navigation
- Alpine 9-speaker premium audio system
- Subwoofer and 552-watt amplifier
For drivers who love customizing their Wrangler, Jeep includes four programmable auxiliary switches, making it much easier to install accessories like light bars, winches, compressors, or other off-road upgrades without messy aftermarket wiring. Jeep also includes the Trailer Tow Package, which adds even more real-world practicality for weekend gear, trailers, or outdoor equipment.
Exterior Styling: Willys-Specific Touches
From the outside, the Wrangler Willys 392 is designed to stand out instantly in the lineup. Jeep adds Willys-themed cues that make it feel like a special-edition model rather than just a regular trim.
Willys-specific design features include:
- Willys hood decals
- Heritage-style 4WD rear graphics
- LED exterior lighting
Combined with the 35-inch tires and aggressive stance, the Willys 392 has a commanding presence that looks like it belongs at the trailhead or in a collector’s garage.
New Color Coming: Goldilocks Arrives in March
Limited-edition trims often gain extra appeal through exclusive paint options, and Jeep is leaning into that with the introduction of a new exterior color arriving in March: Goldilocks. Jeep describes Goldilocks as a rich, heritage-inspired color that fits perfectly with the Willys theme. For collectors and enthusiasts, exclusive colors often become part of the model’s long-term value and identity.
Final Thoughts: Willys Heritage Meets Pure V-8 Muscle
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler Willys 392 is one of the most exciting Wrangler special editions Jeep has introduced in years. It doesn’t just look unique it delivers the kind of performance, sound, and trail-ready hardware that makes it feel like a true enthusiast’s Wrangler. With 470 horsepower, 35-inch tires, full-float rear axle hardware, premium leather seating, and a modern infotainment setup, Jeep has created a Wrangler that feels both nostalgic and modern. If you’ve been waiting for a Wrangler that blends history with high-output fun, the Willys 392 may be the one worth watching when orders open this March.
