jeep s new special edition isRevealing a new variant at one of the country's largest brand gatherings, Jeep has introduced the 2027 Wrangler Smoky Mountain Special Edition during the 14th annual Smoky Mountain Invasion. Marking the tenth entry in the brand's "Twelve 4 Twelve" limited-run series, the vehicle translates regional design cues onto a factory off-road setup built on the four-door Wrangler Willys platform.Off-Road Equipment and Exterior DesignMechanical capability aligns with the established Willys specification. Heavy-duty hardware includes front and rear Dana 44 axles, a 4.10 axle ratio, standard steel rock rails, a locking rear differential, and a factory trailer hitch. Ground contact is managed by standard 33-inch BFGoodrich KO2 All-Terrain tires, with 35-inch rubber available as an option. Power comes from either the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, both paired with an automatic transmission.Visual distinctions center on a localized color palette and trim treatments:AdvertisementAdvertisementDecals & Wheels: Topographical Smoky Mountain hood decals pair with exclusive 17-inch "smoky black" wheels.Body Treatments: Body-color fender flares and a matching hardtop come standard, while the Sky One-Touch powertop is optional.

While other brands treat special editions as simple inventory movers, Jeep consistently leans into community-centric drops that speak directly to the enthusiast base.AdvertisementAdvertisementBuilding a limited-run package specifically for an event like the Smoky Mountain Invasion shows an understanding of what drives brand loyalty. For the Jeep die-hards who make the annual pilgrimage to Tennessee, park among 20,000 other Wranglers, and live the lifestyle, owning a low-volume trim like the Smoky Mountain edition isn't just about factory 35-inch tires, it's an absolute badge of honor on the trail.
