Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain is a tribute to Tennessee
What's the story
Jeep has launched the 2027 Wrangler Smoky Mountain, the latest addition to its "Twelve 4 Twelve" program. The special edition is based on a Willys model and features black paint with unique hood decals. The interior is also black with Terracotta stitching, making for a striking contrast. A distinctive shifter medallion shows a bear and cub, representing the wildlife of the region.
Cultural tribute
Wrangler Smoky Mountain edition explained
The Wrangler Smoky Mountain edition is a tribute to the Jeep culture, specifically an event called the Smoky Mountain Invasion in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
This black-themed special edition is part of Jeep's "Twelve 4 Twelve" program, which will see 12 special-edition versions of the iconic off-roader launched every month for a year.
The Wrangler Willys, on which this special model is based, is currently the third-lowest trim in Jeep's lineup.
Design details
The model features 17-inch black wheels, gloss black grille
The Wrangler Smoky Mountain edition features 17-inch black wheels and a Gloss Black grille.
While it's black in US, it will be offered in other colors as well, such as Joose orange and Hydro Blue.
The special model also comes with a "Smoky Mountain" decal on the hood's side, body-color hardtop, and fender flares.
It also offers an optional Sky One-Touch power soft top, a full-length electrically retractable fabric roof.
Off-road prowess
Off-road hardware includes standard steel rock rails
The Smoky Mountain edition comes with off-road hardware such as standard steel rock rails, a locking rear differential, and Dana 44 front and rear axles with a 4.10 axle ratio.
It also has a standard trailer hitch.
The interior is equally impressive with Premium Black Ferndale cloth seats featuring an embossed texture of angled lines.
The seats have prominent side bolsters embossed with the 1941 Willys parachute graphic and Terracotta stitching accents on the black interior.
Pricing
How much does it cost?
The Smoky Mountain special edition will only be available for four-door models with either a 2.0-liter turbo four or a 3.6-liter V6 engine.
However, it is an automatic-only affair as the six-speed manual isn't available.
Jeep has confirmed that this special edition costs just $80 more than a similarly equipped Willys trim.
The Wrangler Willys starts at $48,230 for the 2027 model year in its four-door variant.
