2026 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 392
Fourth Drop of Twelve 4 Twelve
Heritage Roots. HEMI® Heart. Full-Throttle Fun.
The fourth drop in Jeep’s yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve series just landed — and it did not come quietly.
Meet the 2026 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 392 — a limited-edition Wrangler that blends classic Willys heritage with the unmistakable power of a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8.
Yes. A Willys.
With a V8.
This is not a drill.
Back to Basics — With 470 Horsepower
Jeep is calling this one a return to a “classic, back-to-basics formula,” but let’s be clear — nothing about 470 horsepower is basic.
- 6.4L HEMI® V-8
- 470 horsepower
- 470 lb.-ft. of torque
- Two-mode dual exhaust (quiet when you want it, growl when you don’t)
This is heritage simplicity paired with full-send performance.
Jeep CEO Quote
“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.”
Willys Character, 392 Capability
The Willys name carries weight. It represents the roots of Jeep® — durability, simplicity, and trail confidence. Now imagine that DNA with serious factory capability.
- 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels

- Dana 44 heavy-duty solid front and full-float rear axles
- 4.56 axle ratio

- Steel rear bumper
- Cold air intake hood with water separator
This isn’t just a styling package — it’s trail-ready from the factory.
Modern Interior Meets an Old-School Name
While the outside leans heritage, the inside leans premium — with comfort and tech that makes this Willys feel fully modern.
- Nappa leather heated/power front seats
- Alpine nine-speaker premium audio system with subwoofer and 552-watt amplifier
- 12.3-inch touchscreen radio with navigation
- Four programmable auxiliary switches
- Trailer Tow Package

And coming in March, Jeep adds Goldilocks — a rich, heritage-inspired exterior color that gives 2026 another standout option.
The Willys 392 marks the fourth of twelve special-edition Wrangler models in Jeep’s 2026 Twelve 4 Twelve campaign — and each drop brings its own personality.
From heritage-inspired builds to performance-forward packages, Jeep is keeping the community guessing and giving enthusiasts something new to talk about all year long.

Jeep Girl Court Take
Okay… can we talk about the price for a second?
A Wrangler 392 starting under $70,000? What?!
Last year we saw the Rubicon 392 Final Edition pushing close to $100K. Then the Moab 392 sitting in the $80K range. And now — a Willys 392 starting at $69,995?
I’m genuinely happy to see Jeep finding ways to bring the 392 powertrain to more Wrangler models at a more accessible price point. The V8 is what people want. The sound. The torque. The grin factor. And now more buyers can realistically consider it.
Pair that with the Willys heritage trim — which I personally love — and this feels like a really smart move.
The Willys model has always paid tribute to Wrangler roots. It keeps that classic, no-nonsense vibe while still delivering real off-road capability. You’re getting the locking rear differential, serious axle setup, factory 35s, steel bumpers — and now that 6.4L HEMI®.
For buyers who want heritage styling with legitimate trail capability and V8 power — this hits a sweet spot.
And can we talk about Goldilocks for a second? I cannot wait to see that color in person. Jeep heritage colors always photograph one way and look completely different in real life — and sometimes even better. I have a feeling this one is going to surprise people.
This Willys 392 feels like Jeep saying: we heard you. You want heritage. You want V8. You don’t want six figures.
This might be one of the most interesting 392 moves yet.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 392 is a perfect mix of old-school Jeep soul and modern V8 power — a nod to where Jeep came from, with the attitude to push it into what’s next.
Heritage. HEMI. History in motion. 🚙🔥
