Jeep has a long, rich history to tap into for special-edition Wrangler models, which is evident in many of the Twelve 4 Twelve releases celebrating the brand’s 85th anniversary. But Jeep knows that 2026 is the only year it can create a Wrangler commemorating America’s 250th birthday, so its seventh vehicle from that series is the 2026 Wrangler America250 edition.
The Wrangler America250 is based on the Willys trim, a nod to Willys–Overland, the brand that started Jeep and one with its own military and off-road legacy. While casual observers may not make that connection, it should be immediately obvious to everyone what inspired the America250’s color scheme.
Red, white, and blue can be difficult to combine in a subtle way because of all the contrast, but it looks as if Jeep’s designers pulled it off. The base color is Bright White, which is accented with body-color fender flares, and red and blue graphics on the hood, front fenders, and doors. Of course, special America250 fender and swing-gate badging is part of the package.
In collaboration with Marvel, Jeep dressed up the spare tire cover with a graphic styled after Captain America’s shield. A Jean Blue soft top covers the cabin while dark blue 17-inch wheels with 33-inch BFGoodrich all‑terrain tires, steel rock rails, and front and rear tow hooks give the America250 freedom from sticky situations.
Like the Wrangler Rockslide, the America250 comes with Jean Blue cloth upholstery on the seats and the dashboard insert, but it also receives its own special touches. The front seats are equipped with red seat belts and recline straps as well as an America250 Velcro patch. Red, white, and blue stitching accents the steering wheel and dashboard; red and silver stitching highlights the transmission and transfer case shifter boots. Anodized carbon HVAC vent and steering wheel bezels, and Mopar all‑weather floor mats round out the America250’s interior treatment.
Expect to see the 2026 Wrangler America250 edition in Jeep dealerships starting this summer with a starting price that’s $2,095 higher than a comparably equipped model. If you buy one and need to wind down a little after hosting a giant Fourth of July pool party, you can read the included Marvel comic book that features a special Captain America and Jeep Wrangler America250 edition cover. Just be sure not to drop any apple pie crumbs on it while you’re flipping through the pages.
