Jeep has unveiled the 2014 Wrangler Willys Wheeler edition ahead of the vehicle's debut at the 2013 Los Angeles later this week. As the name suggests, this special edition Wrangler pays tribute to Jeep’s military career and the Willys MB that inspired the first Civilian Jeep (CJ).
Based on the Wrangler Sport, the Willys Wheeler Edition features a gloss black grille, gloss black front and rear bumper appliques, historic satin black “4 Wheel Drive” rear tailgate decal, “Willys” hood decals and exclusive high-gloss black 17-inch aluminum wheels. vThe vehicle also comes with standard Sunrider soft top and deep-tint sunscreen rear windows, while a premium Sunrider soft top and black-splatter Freedom Top are available.
Hardware upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential and 3.73 gears, BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires, rock rails, new Jeep Trail Rated Kit with D-Ring, tow strap and gloves in a Jeep-branded bag, while SiriusXM satellite radio comes standard. Power is provided by Chrysler’s familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, which is rated at 285 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque.
The 2014 Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is available in any Wrangler color and can be ordered starting from $25,795 for two-door models and $29,595 for four-door models.
“The new Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is a Jeep purist’s dream, delivering a Jeep vehicle that harkens back to the original, classic CJs of the 1940s,” said Mike Manley, president and CEO of the Jeep brand. “This new Jeep vehicle delivers pure functionality and rugged capability in a unique package that recognizes the origins of the brand.”
