As spring begins to peek through the winter frost across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, Jeep is adding a fresh splash of color to the trail. On Thursday, the brand announced its special edition vehicle, the 2026 Wrangler Rockslide.
This is Jeep’s fifth installment in its limited-run ‘Twelve 4 Twelve’ program. While previous drops in the series have explored various corners of the Jeep lifestyle, the Rockslide edition focuses squarely on an expressive, layered blue design theme that aims to balance modern flair with the rugged, go-anywhere character that defines the Wrangler.
“The Jeep Rockslide amps up what Wrangler and Gladiator owners demand, unstoppable capability, and pairs it with the personal expression they love,” said Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf. “Rooted in the strengths of Sahara and Rubicon, Rockslide takes factory customization even further while staying true to the Jeep brand's core DNA. And blue continues to stand out as a color that reflects our heritage, individuality and the strong emotional connection our community has with their off-road vehicles.”
The Jeep Wrangler Rockslide’s most striking feature is its sophisticated use of blue tones throughout the exterior. The package introduces ‘Blue Agave’ graphics, including side-stripe accents and hood decals. In a move designed to attract purists, the edition also features a classic ‘4 Wheel Drive’ swing gate graphic, a direct nod to Jeep’s legendary 1941 heritage. To ground these vibrant accents, Jeep paired them with an Anvil body-color hardtop and matching grille surround, creating a unified silhouette that stands out on the road while remaining perfectly at home on the rocks.
Inside, the Rockslide edition marks the first major interior color expansion for the Twelve 4 Twelve series. Designers transformed the cabin into a unique color space, featuring Indigo Blue accents across the instrument panel, center console, and door armrests. The seats are finished in a durable Jean Blue cloth, reminiscent of some older CJ5 interiors, and accented by contrasting silver stitching for a premium, utilitarian feel, while a signature Rockslide plaque on the swing gate serves as a visual reminder of the vehicle’s limited-edition status.While the styling is new, the Rockslide’s foundation remains fully Jeep. Built on the Sahara and Rubicon trims, the Rockslide maintains all the off-road hardware enthusiasts expect, including a Gorilla Glass windshield for superior trail durability and an LED Lighting Group featuring headlamps, fog lamps, and daytime running lights. Modern essentials like adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning come standard. Like its siblings, the Rockslide is powered by the proven 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s legendary four-wheel-drive system.
Additionally, the Sahara trim level comes with steel rock rails, something Saraha lovers have not seen since 2017.
The 2026 Wrangler Rockslide package is priced at $695 on top of comparably equipped body-color hardtop models. Orders are scheduled to open this April, just in time for top-down weather.
Jeep launched the Twelve 4 Twelve campaign last November as a yearlong celebration of the brand’s heritage and off-road culture, promising a new limited-edition Wrangler reveal every month for twelve months.
Each model in the series arrives on the 12th of the month, with Jeep teasing upcoming vehicles through clues and hints before the official reveal.
The idea behind the program is simple: showcase the many sides of Wrangler; performance, heritage styling, personalization, and off-road capability, through a rotating lineup of unique special editions produced in limited numbers.
Earlier releases in the campaign have included models like the Moab 392, Wrangler Whitecap, Wrangler 85th Edition and last month’s Willy’s 392.
