Just over a month ago, on the 12th of November, Jeep launched Twelve 4 Twelve, a yearlong program marking its 85th anniversary, unveiling one limited-edition Wrangler on the 12th of every month for the next 12 months, highlighting different eras of the Jeep brand.
The first model to break cover was the Wrangler Moab 392, a V8-powered opening statement that leaned heavily into performance and hardware. Now, Jeep has revealed the second chapter in that sequence: Meet the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap.
With snow serving as the backdrop and keeping with the festive season seen in these press shots, the Whitecap pulls directly from Jeep’s CJ Universal lineage, more specifically, the Arctic White hardtop that became a recognizable signature decades ago. Jeep modernizes that idea with a Bright White painted hardtop and a matching seven-slot grille. Body color fender flares complete the look. Jeep limits this package to Sahara and Rubicon trims.
Other highlights include a Bright White 1941 side stripe decal that directly references Jeep’s wartime origins. Rubicon adds a Bright White hood decal for extra contrast. You can also spec the Sky One Touch powertop with Bright White accents, which visually ties the upper structure together and makes open-air driving easier to manage day to day.
“The Jeep Wrangler Whitecap is more than a special edition, it’s a statement.” – CEO, Jeep
Under the skin, Jeep keeps the setup practical. You can choose between the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or the 3.6-liter V6. Both retain Jeep’s Selec-Trac part-time or full-time transfer cases, depending on trim.
Pricing stays unusually accessible for a limited edition. The Whitecap starts at $495 on Rubicon X. Sahara pricing comes in at $2,690 and includes the body color hardtop. Rubicon pricing lands at $3,185 with the painted hardtop and body color fender flares included. Orders are open now.
