Jeep is continuing its aggressive rollout of special-edition Wranglers, and the latest addition is the 2026 Wrangler Willys 392. This model blends nostalgic design cues with serious off-road capability and a powerful 6.4-liter V-8 engine.
A Nod to History
The Willys 392 aims to capture the spirit of the original military Jeeps, featuring retro “Willys” graphics on the hood and a classic “4 Wheel Drive” decal on the tailgate. While modern in its amenities, the design intentionally echoes the brand’s rugged past. This isn’t just about aesthetics; Jeep is capitalizing on the enduring appeal of its heritage while introducing a high-performance variant.
Power and Performance
Under the hood lies a 470-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine, producing 470 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a two-mode exhaust system for an aggressive sound, and delivers significant performance both on and off-road. The Willys 392 comes equipped with 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, providing 11.1 inches of ground clearance.
Key Off-Road Features:
- Electronic locking rear differential
- Full-time transfer case
- Heavy-duty Dana 44 axles
- 4.56 axle ratio
- Steel bumpers front and rear
- Rock rails
These upgrades ensure the Willys 392 can tackle challenging terrain with confidence. A cold air intake with a water separator further enhances the vehicle’s ability to operate in harsh conditions.
Interior and Pricing
Inside, the Willys 392 offers power-adjustable, heated nappa leather front seats and a nine-speaker Alpine sound system. The Trailer Tow package is standard, and buyers can choose a unique “Goldilocks” yellow exterior color. Orders open in March, with a starting price of $71,990.
The Willys 392 represents Jeep’s commitment to delivering high-performance, heritage-inspired vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts who want both capability and style.
This launch is part of Jeep’s “Twelve 4 Twelve” plan, promising a new special-edition Wrangler each month for the next year. The Willys 392 stands out as one of the most aggressive and powerful offerings in the lineup.
