2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain Special Edition Debuts at Invasion Event
2026/08/22
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 20, 2026 – At the 14th annual "Smoky Mountain Invasion" event in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the Jeep® brand officially unveiled the 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain Special Edition. The tenth model in Jeep's "Twelve 4 Twelve Wrangler" series, this special edition celebrates the largest Jeep enthusiast gathering in the United States – an event that draws nearly 50,000 participants and 20,000 Jeep vehicles each year to the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Jeep Brand CEO Brandon Cote said: "Few events capture the essence of the Jeep brand quite like the Smoky Mountain Invasion. Thousands of Jeep enthusiasts come together with a shared love for adventure, freedom, and the outdoors. This Smoky Mountain Special Edition was created to honor that moment – it embodies the performance, freedom, and individuality that Jeep stands for, while paying tribute to the people, the place, and the passion that make this gathering so special."
Built on Willys Platform, Made for Off-Road

Pricing and Market Significance
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain Special Edition is now available for order on four-door Wrangler models equipped with the 2.0L automatic or 3.6L automatic transmission. Compared to a comparably equipped Wrangler Willys, the Smoky Mountain Special Edition carries a premium of just $80 – delivering a unique design theme and exclusive content at an exceptionally accessible price point.
This special edition further enriches the Jeep Wrangler product portfolio. The "Twelve 4 Twelve Wrangler" series – which introduces a new special edition each month – continues to strengthen the emotional connection between Jeep and the off-road enthusiast community.
From an aftermarket parts perspective, the Smoky Mountain Special Edition signals two trends: First, Jeep is meeting consumer demand for personalized off-road vehicles through factory special editions, indicating sustained growth in the factory-customization parts space. Second, the inclusion of 33/35-inch tires, exclusive wheels, and rock rails means continued demand for off-road upgrade components in the broader accessory market.
