The 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain is a four-door special edition based on the Wrangler Willys, with standard 33-inch tires and available 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires. Jeep says the edition also includes Dana 44 axles, a locking rear differential and a 4.10 axle ratio. Orders are open, and the release lists two automatic powertrain choices.
Prepared by the SAEC Automotive Editorial Team. Specifications below follow Jeep’s August 20, 2026 release and may vary on production vehicles. Last updated October 11, 2026.
What is the 2027 Smoky Mountain edition?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain is the tenth installment in Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve Wrangler series, introduced at the Smoky Mountain Invasion in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Jeep describes it as a special edition built on the Wrangler Willys platform. The release identifies it as a four-door model rather than a new mechanical generation or a separate off-road platform.
The package combines specific trail hardware with appearance and interior details inspired by the Great Smoky Mountains. That distinction is useful for shoppers: the announcement describes an equipment and trim package, not a different engine family or a claim that every Wrangler capability figure has changed.
Which equipment is standard or available?
Jeep lists 33-inch BFGoodrich KO2 All-Terrain tires as standard and 35-inch KO2 tires as available. Standard hardware includes Dana 44 front and rear axles, a locking rear differential, a 4.10 axle ratio, steel rock rails and a trailer hitch. Exterior details include 17-inch smoky black wheels, a gloss-black seven-slot grille, Smoky Mountain hood-side decals, and body-color hardtop and fender flares. A Sky One-Touch power top is available.
Inside, the release lists heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control and commemorative trim. Equipment and availability should still be checked against the dealer’s window sticker and final build sheet for the vehicle being ordered.
Which configurations can buyers choose?
Jeep says the 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain is offered on the four-door Wrangler with either a 2.0-liter automatic or a 3.6-liter automatic powertrain. The release does not list a two-door version or a manual-transmission configuration for this edition. It also does not publish a complete total vehicle MSRP in the announcement.
For the latest order status, consult Jeep’s official model and dealer information. The press release says orders are open, but availability, allocation and delivery timing can vary by dealer and market.
What does Jeep’s $80 comparison mean?
Jeep states that the Smoky Mountain package is priced $80 above a “popularly equipped Wrangler Willys.” That is a comparison against an equipped Willys configuration; it is not the full vehicle price, a stand-alone accessory price for every market, or a quote for an individual order. Confirm the exact MSRP, destination charge, options and taxes on a current dealer quote.
For broader SUV context, read SAEC’s report on the 2027 Ford Bronco RTR. SAEC’s light bar versus driving light guide compares auxiliary-light beam roles for trail use.
How should off-road owners plan lighting?
The Smoky Mountain release does not announce a vehicle-specific auxiliary-light kit. Before adding a light bar or pod, measure the mounting space on the exact front bumper and trim, check sensor and air-flow clearance, and follow the selected lamp’s wiring instructions. A product category page is not vehicle-fitment confirmation.
Owners can browse SAEC’s off-road LED light bars and LED light pods as general product ranges, then verify the exact SKU, bracket, current draw and intended off-road use. For a different new-vehicle story, see SAEC’s coverage of a possible Honda-badged Triton pickup; that report is unrelated to the Wrangler edition.
