Jeep Beach Week is one of the largest annual gatherings of Jeep vehicles in the United States and the company is celebrating the event with a new special edition. Known as the Wrangler Jeep Beach, the model is based on the new Wrangler Hide Tide and features unique hood decals. Production will be limited to 500 units and pricing starts at US$ 49,240 when the special edition goes up for order next month.
While the special edition isn’t very special, it’s based on
the 2022 Wrangler Hide Tide which features a host of upgrades. That particular
model builds on the Sport S trim and comes equipped with the Xtreme Recon
Package. The package adds a 1.5 inch (38 mm) suspension lift and 17-inch
beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 35-inch BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires. Other
highlights include extended fender flares, a 4.56 rear axle ratio, and a
reinforced hinge-gate.
Besides the Xtreme Recon Package, the Wrangler Hide Tide
sports LED lighting units, rock rails, and a Gorilla Glass windshield. Buyers
will also find a body-color hardtop with a Sunrider Fliptop. Rounding out the
highlights are High Tide hood decals and sand/slush mats.
The 2022 Wrangler High Tide goes up for order later this
month and pricing starts at $49,240 which is the same as the Wrangler Jeep
Beach special edition. Both come equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that
produces 285 hp and 352 Nm of torque. It’s
connected to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel
drive system.
Besides High Tide and Jeep Beach variants, the automaker
announced the 2022 Wrangler is getting a new High Velocity exterior color. The
bright hue is being billed as a “high-energy, high-impact yellow that is
authentic and not afraid to stand out, just like the Jeep Wrangler community.”
The color will be available on all Wranglers as a US$ 395 option.
